> Hi Devil,

How have you been keeping?  I’m still messing around with this Zoloft stuff and wonder if it is doing any good. I will be seeing my doctor in two weeks and I hope he offers me something a little bit more stabilizing.  I feel like a yo-yo on Zoloft…during the day I’m basically "up"  during the evenings/nights I’m a basket case. Am interested, what helps you stabilize your moods? Larry tells me to stay with the Zoloft however he hasn’t a clue about how I feel.  His information is good but perhaps its not for me.

Hi Jean, I’m doing ok… not too great, not too bad.  Tired and busy too much of the time.  A little lonely & unloved too. I’ve never tried Zoloft (well, I don’t know what the active ingredient is, so possibly I have done under a different name in the UK).  How long have you been taking it for?  Would splitting your dose into morning/evening help, perhaps?  (Or if you do that already, maybe you should stop!).  That’s how I manage my Celexa/Citalopram… half in the am, half in the evening. The only thing that avoids is falling asleep though… I’m pretty much unipolar all the way, so my mood is pretty stable.  It’s just a question of where stable lies… I try to find the right combination of pills to keep it as high as possible I’d trust Larry’s judgement… he’s got a lot of experience and insight on the matter.  But then I’d trust your own judgement too… it’s a personal balance that’s required.

Isn’t it sad that those who love you are so far away?  Never met you, but I know I care about you. > I’ve never tried Zoloft (well, I don’t know what the active ingredient is, > so possibly I have done under a different name in the UK).  How long have > you been taking it for?

seven months. > Would splitting your dose into morning/evening > help, perhaps?

I’m trying this now.  2 pills in the morning and one during the evening. > (Or if you do that already, maybe you should stop!).  That’s > how I manage my Celexa/Citalopram… half in the am, half in the evening. > The only thing that avoids is falling asleep though… I’m pretty much > unipolar all the way, so my mood is pretty stable.  It’s just a question of > where stable lies… I try to find the right combination of pills to keep it > as high as possible  Isn’t it sad we need to rely on pills to keep us > sable?  Three years ago I didn’t need any pills.

I trust my own judgment too.  Each of us have our own problems.  It’s not right to dump these problems on to someone else who perhaps can’t handle their own problems. Take care…I’ll be thinking of you.  Can’t say praying, as I don’t pray anymore. Jean – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Simon > (Sleepy)

Why thank you  It’s actually easier for me having family & friends 5000 miles away… less stressful. > I’m trying this now.  2 pills in the morning and one during the evening.

Let me know if it helps you. > Take care…I’ll be thinking of you.  Can’t say praying, as I don’t pray > anymore.

Thanks… I prefer being thought of than prayed for!  And you too.
