Question:
Thank you Dave, I needed to hear that Drena
Response:
thank you for your response Mike, I was diagnoised with post partum OCD … they say that the longest it can last is three years…I am currently on 2.5 mg. zyprexa and 100 mg luvox…..which is much less than I have been on … at one point I was on depakote, kolopin,zyprexa,luvox, lupron,estragin and testosterone patches all of those meds at once to try and get me stablized I also spent a week on the psyc. floor of the hospital and five weeks in day hospital…I am so very much better that is why I feel like such a wuzz the hell that I have been through has drained me of any strength…….

This isn’t a competition! Each of us has our own challenges in life, and our own pain to deal with. It doesn’t make it any less valid or important just because someone else seems to be worse off. Besides, a year is a heck of a long time to be dealing with this sort of torture – something most people never experience at all! Don’t doubt your own strength – you can rise above it. — Dave Hollinden david.hollin…@sdrc.com (work) dholl…@iglou.com (home)

You’ve been diagnosed with OCD? Have you been prescribed any medication? Have you and your doctor discussed any other possible medications? Perhaps a different medication might be better. Please, let me know. I hear the pain and fear you’re enduring in your words. Just to let you know, I was diagnosed OCD about ten years ago and I’ve battled major depression (MDD) for at least the last 32 years. On top of that I’m an alcoholic (in recovery) that was raised in an alcoholic home. If you want to talk, I’d be happy to listen. Mike RiverbankDreamer <riverbankdrea…@aol.com> wrote in message
