    Goodness Caroline, a much needed reprieve. I'm so happy for you, and it gives the rest of us hope.

    Glad to hear about the better days. I think it's good to look at this thing in chunks of months, hopefully another chunk of 6ish months and things are much better again. Depressing but still comforting. Then again you might break the rules and go for a spontaneous miracle recovery.

    And that's good what you subconsciously thought about the trays. Unless it was for tea serving after the ceremony.. OK! too soon, sorry.. bad moui..
    Acceptance. Time. Habit.

    quick update, today, I went on a 2 hour car journey to a family party, the forst time I have seen these people in over a year....I had told everyone no but secretly thought I would go if I felt upto it...I had a good time with hardly any symptoms, I have felt much better for a few days now, no reason, just felt better.

    Dont want to jinx it though so Im in no way out of the woods, but I am feeling ALOT better than last week, or last month etc etc

    crazy how that can happen overnight.

    I go up in fish oil tomorrow to 900 and then Im not changing anything until after my next period, whenever that decides to happen!

    but 2 hours in the car there, a 5 hour party and 2 hours in the car coming back, I chatted, I did my hair and put on a dress, I played with the kids, I went down the slide, I ate the buffet and drank fruit juice and 1 decaf (took my own lol, it was in a pub)

    I did well guys, and felt semi normal, just tiny bits of occasional pgad, little moments of fleeting anxiety and fear for it all coming down on me as it did before, but otherwise, if I didnt kow better I would say Im healing and on the up, sadly I know this wont last and its only a matter of time before Im in hell again, but things have really been alot better and Im thankful for a little breathing space at least, and thankful that I have been able to spend some quality time with freddie, when I was reading to him last night I even did the voices, and the night before I played the guitar for a little while, I notice myself doing these things and think they MUST be significant in some way...but Im not counting any chickens here.

    lol Moui, yeah come to think of it the tea trays are BLACK oh dear perhaps that was it all along, you naughty boy!

    So happy for you, Iggy - your day sounds wonderful!
    2006 Rx'd Cymbalta for approx 1 yr. WD after 4 mos - didn't realize was WD,took Zoloft and Klonopin; tapered K. Spring 2012 experienced major WD symptoms while tapering Zoloft; tried to updose but no relief, back on K 1 mg. Switched over 5-6 mos from Zoloft to Citalopram. Finished Zoloft 1/13; now on Citalopram 35 mg and 1 mg Klonopin. Started to experience withdrawal symptoms from switch (?) approx. 3 months after finished Zoloft (4/13). Now at 35 mg and hoping to start slow taper
