Hey...i read both your posts...and as for ECT...you know how i feel about that...i would DO IT. And the standard i/p stay here in Florida is 7 days...I've stayed longer only once, AT MY REQUEST. You have to do something, I agree with you...you've been "gone" too long now with the depression.

Usually with Cymbalta, it works at UNDER 90 mgs best...so if it isn't working, you should request something else...what about Effexor? Did you try that one? It was the only one to pull me up out of my really bad depression a few years back...

I'm a mess myself, but I am DETERMINED to do this...I don't want to be on the a/d's and the meds that make me worse, so I'm going to try to do this with only Lamictal and Lithium.

Another thing that is helping me is that I'm talking to my IRL girlfriends a lot more, letting them in, leaning on them...and getting out of the house too. Its the HARDEST thing to do, I know.

Hang in there.

Love you,

keli
