I was suppose to go to work tomorrow, but DdA says I'm not on the schedule, so I guess I go back on Thurs, which suits me fine. DdA has to work, but doesn't start until 3pm. So at least she can sleep in a bit. I was extremely happy this morning when I stepped on the scale, it finally moved in the right direction Not much, but I expected to be right back up again, so this was a big surprise.
Anyway I should go to bed, I just wanted to pop in and say Hi!
Take care all,

Hi Buddly! :wave: Thats awesome that you don't have to go back until Thursday......I have to work until Thursday, morning. lol. But I get paid well for this week. :D So its worth it I suppose. ;) :congrat: on the weightloss! :carrot:

And I just figured out that I can close threads I guess that I start? Awesome! I never knew that! lol. Ok so it doesn't take much for me. lol. I hope its okay for me starting and closing threads, Leenie. Just happens that I am here early Monday Mornings, @ work, so figured may as well start the new one. ;) Oh and on my lunch I took a Siesta, boy did I ever! I woke up and realized that my cell ph. (which I set my alarm) is off a few minutes from the work time so needless to say I had to sprint back upstairs. lol. But I made it and I feel better!!! :)

Have a Happy Monday!

Hello and :wel3fc: and :welcome2: to our little thread, Destiny!!!!! Glad to have you here! :D Ya I tried to start buying now, DH & I went to the Outlet Mall on Friday and I bought my friend some Pomegranite Potporri (she loves Pomegranite) anyways, I get up last night for work (I work nights) and see my DH has opened the potporri and put it in a container in our apt. lol. I was like, "So I guess my friend won't be getting that potporri, will she?" lol. He apologized, said he thought I said I wanted it for us. lol. So I have to start all over again. Oh well at least our apt will smell nice, right? lol. :D

Thanks guys for all the positive encouragement about my last post. Today should have been my first day back to college but it's my Grandda's funeral today so I'll be back to college tomorrow. (A little scary)

It's horrible to think that people argue about things like money when people die but that's exactly what my family are doing right now. If anything petty happens at the funeral I'm going to gladly stand up and tell people to act like grown ups, this is about celebrating my Grandda's life not their differences but I'm hoping it wont come to that.

Big :hug: Lauren, thinking of you today. :) Yes people do get very greedy when people die, sad, but true............It totally amazes me how childish people can be over "Stuff" and that is all it is, is "Stuff". We don't need material objects to remember people by, I know that it can be truly wonderful to have something from that person, but we truly keep their memory and love for them in our hearts and its sad that some people forget about that............

Hi Ladies :hug:

I just wanted to give a shout out to Cathy !! she left LA b/c of hurricane Gustav... lets all pray that Cathy and her family will be safe.

Have a wonderful Labor Day !!

Love yah's !!

Yay for 3-day weekends!

Today my aunt, uncle, hubby and I are getting together with about 4 friends (and one rambuncsious {sp?} 4 year old) for a pool party over at my mother's house. She's in Washington DC on business, unfortunately.

I've been looking forward to spending time with our friends and family together - I've been planning a big visit like this for months but everyone always seems so busy!

:hug:Lauren:hug: So sorry about your grand-dad. Try not to be too hard on your relatives, even if they seem to need a swift kick in the pants. Sometimes people respond to a great loss by sinking themselves into less important issues, rather than facing the grief. It's one form of denial.

I can say anything else, but that I feel for you and what you're going through. Take some time for yourself during this trial, to experience this in your own way.

:sorry:

Spoz 09-01-2008 02:58 PM

Tera - How's the party go?

Sassy - Thanks, it's sad that materials can come in between people like that, for me though money isnt something sentimental to be handed down - so I just dont understand the point in arguing about it.

The funeral was emotional (as I knew it would be) A few sly digs from my aunt, but I was there to say bye to grandad and just left her to it. Now onto the next hurdle of returning to college. Right now it's becoming so difficult not to stuff my face every time I go by the kitchen :ziplip:

Leenie 09-01-2008 05:49 PM

You can do it sweetie !! Your stronger than you think :hug:

JudoMom 09-01-2008 05:50 PM

Hi Sassy! You sure are an upbeat gal! I love reading your posts. :)

Hi Destiny and welcome! Funny, I was thinking about Christmas a few days ago and dreading it. As much as I love what the season is about, it's a tough one for our family. We do keep it very low key, but it is always an emotional gauntlet.

Spoz, I'm glad things weren't as tough as they could have been at your grandfather's funeral. Sassy is right... it's all stuff and the most important thing is our memories and our love for them. Hopefully, your relatives who are caught up in that will come to their senses.

Hi Leenie - Thanks for letting us know about Cathy. She (and her family) will most definitely be in my prayers.

Hi Twilit Tera - I hope the pool party is fun!!

I was away for the long weekend and dragged all of my prepared food with me so that I could stay on program. It was a medieval event, so I just slipped off to my tent whenever meal/snack time was on and ate. The event had 2 meals a day - brunch and supper. People kinda come and go in a short period so it was easy to go there with hub & just have a coffee or water and make like i'd already eaten when someone came and sat with us, or that I really wasn't hungry because I'd eaten a snack earlier and had food in the tent for later if I got hungry *lol... it WAS ALL TRUE!!!!

In the evenings, when the mead and other alcohol came out, I politely declined drinks (which is not the norm for me at these events) saying that I am on medication and that I can't drink right now. Well, ... that's true too (kinda lol). I am on Wellbutrin and I can't drink right now because I'm on a very strict diet LOLOLOLOL I never lied!!!

So, we're home now... I've vaccumed and cleaned the house for the week. I just have to dust (oh how I HATE dusting). Laundry from camping is started and tomorrow I head back to work after summer break.

I am pretty confident I lost more weight over the weekend, but I won't know til I get on the scales in the morning.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and that the upcoming week is fab!

twilit tera 09-01-2008 08:25 PM

Hi everyone!

We all had great fun together. I'd been wanting to get my friends from school together with my family for a long time and I'm glad I finally had the chance to do it. They had their 3-year-old, who was a delight to the whole group.

Unfortunately we had a couple no-shows. One is a friend of my mother's who was up all night talking on the phone with her mom during the hurricane in Alabama. She couldn't stay awake. The other was the mother (and mother in law respectively) of my friends from school. They were telling me it's difficult to get her out to meet new people, though she's always been very warm and friendly when Bruce and I go over to their house.

Lastly there was the usual challenge of resisting my aunt's attempts to provide naughty snacks ("do you think I should bring cookies? Not everyone there is trying to lose weight.") In fact, I'm going to sit down soon and write a thoughtfully constructed email about how it's not her responsibility to provide people with everything they want, especially if it's something we already know is bad for their health.

I think she's operating from an outdated conception of hospitality. Grandma died in 1980 or '81. As I recall, when she was alive and hosting family gatherings there was always more food than we could eat there and much of it was heavy. Hopefully I can find a way to communicate with her that it's okay to do things differently now that we all have more information about food.

More :hug:s for Lauren.

JudoMom: Sounds like you had a lot of fun at the event! Congrats on turning down the drinks! My memory gets a little fuzzy about events after sundown, but from what I recall, they flow rather freely! ;) Nice job on the "creative truth-telling!"

hope4me 09-01-2008 11:19 PM

Spoz, sorry to hear about your grandpa. :hug:

I'm back from my mom's. We had a good visit. She really liked her storage shed and storage bench. It was good to be home again and eat some garden veggies. If we end up getting a house with more land at some point I willl definitely plant a garden.

I missed everybody. Hugs and prayers to Cathy and her family. I'm gonna get to bed so I can get back to work tomorrow.

momof4under5 09-02-2008 09:36 AM

Just got back from a weekend of camping...Was pretty good. Started off bad since I got my first speeding ticket ever...It really sucked cause I had missed my turn and then I got my ticket....UGHHH....But now dh is at work and dd is in school So I am left with the mounds and mounds of laundry and putting everything away and i gotta start the home school stuff too!!! So going to be a busy day for me!!! talk to everyone lata!!

Amarie2pt0 09-02-2008 02:26 PM

Hi Everyone!

I'm back from my weekend of camping, too - lol. I was camping at a dog agility trial. Little Penny did really well, got 1 title and a bunch of qualifying runs. Anyway, today is sort of my lul day between this weekends chaos and doggy disorder and tomorrow school starting back up. I slept in a bit, and really didn't rush to get into my office.

I really had to watch myself to keep from going into my old habitual run and hide tendancies. I would have really liked to stay in bed today, eating junky take out and feeling sorry for myself. But I keep reminding myself that I have nothing to feel sorry for myself about, and that I am really lucky to be where I am right now.

So, on that note - I hope everyone has a blessed day. :grouphug: to all, and a special extra hug to Cathy :hug: - I hope you and yours are safe and sound.

cathyxxx 09-02-2008 06:42 PM

hey gang
we're back. our area didn't get hit hard at all. we really didnt need to leave but there was no way to know that til it hit.
thank you very much for the prayers!
i'm trying to get everything put back up HA and have to be back at work in the morning
hope everybody has a great week!
hugs,
cathy

Leenie 09-02-2008 06:44 PM

Glad your safe Cathy !! and I don't blame you for leaving, I would have too.

:hug:

buddly 09-02-2008 07:12 PM

Hi everyone!
Cathy so glad to hear you are safe and sound. I couldn't imagine having to deal with those hurricanes.

Amarie, congrats on winning the one title. Glad you had a good weekend.

momof4 good to see you, I was wondering where you had gone off to.

Hope that great that you had such a nice visit with your mom. We had a lot of fresh veggies at my in-laws, very enjoyable.

Hi :wave: tera, Lauren, leenie, sassy and everyone else!

Nothing new here. DdA started her classes today. Tomorrow DdC has her first day of grade 11. So today I'm catching up on the laundry, I really don't know how it adds up so fast.
The sun is finally out, I'm getting so tired of the rain. I'm not sure whats going to happen over the winter. Oh well, can't change it.

Better get going.
Take care all,
K

hope4me 09-02-2008 09:00 PM

Hi ladies,

I really believe that they are trying to run one of the girls at work off. It's a shame b/c she knows so much more than the rest of the people there. She left in tears again today. As I've said, this will eventually affect me in some way, it just remains to be seen how.

Momof4, good to see you back, I've wondered about you.

Buddly, my laundry has piled up too and there's only 2 of us.

Cathy, so glad everything turned out ok. Thank you for checking in.

Amarie, I'm so amazed at how well you've taken this transition. Those kind of changes throw my depression for a loop.

momof4under5 09-03-2008 12:04 AM

I am glad you girls missed me...I am kinda glad summer is done because I was sooo flippin busy I feel like i didnt have a summer. I used to be on here every single day posting personals and all that now I barely have time to check it. I just checking in then gotta get to bed first day of homeschooling tomorrow. I got their desks set up and stuff on the wall and kinda ready. I could do more on it but was day dreaming cause i was to tired to concentrate!!

I have a really bad problem. I have been out of medicine since last monday. The pharmacy called to get a refill well the drs office and I kept missing each others calls and he wouldnt refill it until he talked to me. They told me he would call it in but would like to have an appt. (he just likes visiting with me...the sweet old man!!) Well by the time it got called in I didnt get a chance to get it before we left camping. I havent done bad at all but we will see now that i am back home if that changes. But should the withdrawl symptoms be hitting soon? IF I am doing ok with out it should I start it again?? I know you are all going to be like YES ARE YOU CRAZY!!! The only thing I am noticing is the lack of motivation and energy. I just dont want to be on meds forever. I am actually tired when it comes bed time now!!! before i couldnt sleep till way late!!!

Ok well I have tons more to write but sure no one has the time to read it all...Thanks for thinking of me guys!!! I missed my girls while i was gone...ok lata!!

Sassy_Chick 09-03-2008 03:39 AM

Hi All.
 
Hi All. :wave:

Well Good News: The new girl is awesome! ;) We connected (or at least I think we did) right away and we gab and gab and gab. She is about 10 yrs younger than me, but so what? lol. I guess I truly am "Young at Heart" :p

I even opened up to her about things, as she did with me too, I now wonder if that was a wise thing? But she seems very open.........I dunno. I guess I should not like tell all but I dunno. Ever meet someone that you just "click" with? So I don't wanna Jinx myself or nothing, but so far, so good. :) Also we were talking about dads and how our biological fathers were a lot a like growing up -- um not so nice and I got to talking about my step-dad who I was very close with who died of cancer 5 yrs ago and I started crying! :cry: UGH I feel so stupid!!!!!!! It just hit me I dunno.......:shrug: She said "ah don't worry about it" and even offered a hug and I was just like I just feel so stupid. lol. I dunno I just have a major trust issue and this is the first time, in a LONG time that I have opened up to someone so I just hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the butt! I know, be positive...........but I still have that teeny tiny bit of worry back in my mind............

Also she used to be a personal trainer and is very motivational with weightloss (yes I even discussed that with her!) so maybe this is a good thing and you know what they say, "things happen for a reason"..........That is truly what I need, someone to be on me constantly, in person. I love all you all, but it is different when you have someone in real life.......right there, daily.

My appetite is decreasing so much. I can barely eat anything. I usually have to force myself to eat at least a little something and its driving my DH totally crazy. :crazy: He cooks, so I am not eating very much and so he will have loads left. lol. I am like, "sorry, just not hungry"

Oh and I am a bit concerned........I was in the breakroom heating up lunch and I got this pain in my left side like under my rib cage and felt and there is a lump there, a hard lump? Think that could be a fat deposit or you think its something bad??? I dunno has me worried...............:stress:

I will do personals once I am off -- only one more night to go -- after tonight is over with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :carrot:

:hug:

Spoz 09-03-2008 04:21 AM

Hey cathy, glad to see you're back and safe :)

Buddly, You shouldn't worry too much about the winter yet, it's near but not yet here! (I look forward to it however)

Hope - What is it with the people at your work? Are they all just out of nursery school? sounds to me like they have some growing up to do. Glad it hasnt yet effected you yet though.

Sassy - thats wonderful news! If you click with somebody there's no reason you should worry about them coming back to 'bite you in the butt' Just use your common sense and I'm sure your judgement won't deceive you :)

Today should be my second day in class but I decided to stay home and do my work here. I don't know what it is but I find it so difficult to drag myself into classes. Yesterday wasn't bad, I didnt feel uncomfortable in the slightest, and the work seemed fine, but today I just didnt go back. Maybe it's because I havent done full days since I was 13, or maybe it's because I like my alone time too much but it really worries me. At least I know my bad attendance doesn't affect my grades, I always seem to get good feedback.

Anyway, while I ponder that I hope the rest of you have a great day. Huge :hug: to those of you who need them today.

JudoMom 09-03-2008 06:53 AM

Welcome back and Soooooooooooooooooooo glad to hear from you Cathy!!!!! *hugs

Leenie 09-03-2008 07:02 AM

Hi Girls

Hey Judomom :hug: how are you?

Spoz, I don't like the "class" feeling either... its almost as if I panic and just sit there and freeze... ((this was years ago)). When I go to meetings at work, I get the same feeling, to many people and ohhhh if they ever asked me to talk in front of people I'd faint :faint: Your not alone.

Sassy = Lump = CALL DOCTOR !!!!! don't wait sweetie :hug:

Mom maybe there's a different med you could try, one that won't keep you awake at night. Get to your doc as soon as you can :hug:

Hope sorry they are doing that to your coworker... and its sad when you have to witness something like that. I've been on both ends and its not a good thing :( Hang in there !!!

Buddly, my dd starts school today, 2nd grade LOL, time does fly. Oh and laundry WTHeck... it GROWS I tell yah. Socks disapear and every thing else just gets larger LOL. I must have done 40 loads this weekend, between blankets and towels from the pool :faint: lol

Amarie glad to see things are looking up for you.

Heather.... how are you sweetie? :hug:

Destiny & Twilit :hug: welcome aboard, we're glad your here.


Well off to get DD ready for school....back to work for me tomorrow :(

Sassy_Chick 09-03-2008 12:44 PM

Hi Girls. Yes I am still awake. lol. (I work nights for anybody that doesn't know) I am so glad tonight is my "Friday" I am so ready for the "Weekend". This morning was completely crazy at work! :crazy:

:hug:

momof4under5 09-03-2008 03:29 PM

ugh homeschool didnt go too awfully bad but the phone rang so many times tomorrow i hate to do it but I am shutting it off and gonna keep my cell phone in the house and if there is an emergency they can call me on that. I just kept stopping and the boys sat there and got tired of waiting and went to play or run around and that just cant be their school is important and the are too young to make sit there and wait. They cant read so they can just go on with out me...so ughhh yeah...anyways....i am gonna go ttyl!!

Amarie2pt0 09-03-2008 07:49 PM

Hi all - first day of classes today. Busy, busy, lots of homework - gotta do extra 'cause i'm plannin on going out with some classmates tomorrow night. :)

Anywho - wish I could stay to chat, but REALLY need to hit the books.

Toodles,

twilit tera 09-03-2008 09:10 PM

It was another good day today. I seem to have had a real string of them in the past week or so - ever since I really started working at being happy. Hm, go fig. ;)

I went to campus, got some info on putting ads in the school paper. Came home, got a fair chunk of homework done, had a nice visit with a friend from across town who forgot a bunch of stuff last time he was over, had one of my favorite meals for dinner (1 organic hotdog sliced up in spinach with a little cider vinegar), a slice of honeydew for dessert and played videogames.

I'm about to go put Andy Andrews' 7 Decisions on my bathroom mirror before I turn the PS2 back on.

Just a very ordinary day.

Feeling down, but am around.
Take care everyone,

HeatherAngel 09-04-2008 07:10 AM

Hi all :wave:

No time for personals, but I am thinking of you all. My life has become more and more bizarre and surreal by the day -almost by the hour... and it's very tiring.

I am back to work, but the hour's commute means I have to retrain my body to sleep earlier - and it's not listening yet!! I am doing a LOT of driving, not just the commute.

So - not eating brilliantly, not running (:() and generally fighting feeling a bit sorry for myself - no reason, so no excuse!

It's lovely to meet the new people -welcome :)

Hope to post properly soon!
Heather :)

Hi Peeps!
 
Hi Peeps! :chicken:

Well TG its over!! :woohoo: UGH. I am just so exhausted.......:yawn: Was a busy week with training the new girl + we had 2 new accounts that went live this week too, so it was BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! :comp:

I stayed up to see DH off to his interview. Its for a position at the Children's Hospital. :bb: He REALLY wants it so if you all could please manage a few extra vibes :goodvibes I'd greatly appreciate it!!!! :D He wore his new suit today we got him at the Outlet Mall, he looked so handsome.....;)

So now I am going to go and crash cuz I am exhausted!!! :faint: It takes a lot out of you having to train someone + the extra work of having more work to do as well!! lol. :stress:

So Sassy is out Ya'All, "Nighty Night!" lol. :wave:

Ok, i just did some lunchtime backreading and...

Sassy: Heya, gal. Sometimes people just click! I'm glad you found someone you could connect with. :D If you're gut is telling you she's cool, then she probably is! Trust the gut!

Wishing lots of luck to your DH!!! :luck2you:

Also, Leenie is right. Call the doctor about the mystery lump. Chances are very good it's nothing dangerous, but in the rare instance that it is life-threatening, the earlier you get it tested, the better your prognosis.

Leenie: Thanks for the welcome! I'm loving this place! :spin: Best smilies I've ever seen!

hope4me 09-04-2008 11:27 PM

Hi everybody,

I had to close tonight so I didn't get home until about 9:30. Luckily I'm off tomorrow. We don't have any exciting plans unless you count mowing the yard and possibly shampooing the carpet. I can hardly wait!

TTYL

Sassy_Chick 09-05-2008 08:35 AM

Hi All
 
Morning Chicks. :coffee:

I have been an absolute bum lastnight and this morning......(I'm off now until Sunday Night) Just sooo tired from the week at work...........Phew.

I need to get some energy up to get some cleaning done...............This place is a mess! DH said he is going to get some Oven Cleaner today, man our oven is a nightmare! lol. I told him we should just break it to get a new one, but he said they have a stockpile of old ones here......:p So I was like oh well guess gotta clean it then. :rofl: I told him to get me a big bottle of bleach for the bathroom. I wish there was a way to like put the cleaner in one of those spray thingys that the bug man uses and just spray down the entire bathroom, it'd be easier! lol.

Well DH said his interview went well. The Manager said that there is a total of 5 people (including DH) who are interviewing for this position, so he said it would be 2-3 weeks before they make a decision..........DH also remembered that he forgot to go to take a test for another job on Wed. I think they only have this test like once a year.......Oh well, I forgot about it too.............Maybe it was meant for him to forget it............:shrug:

Thanks Leenie and Tera and everybody, but you wanna know something terribly embarrassing about my "lump"? :o It is my RIB CAGE! :rofl: I guess I haven't felt it in so long I didn't even know what it felt like! But I just went to feel it Wed. night at work and I was like, "Wait a minute...........that isn't a lump, that is my bone!!!" I even sucked in my belly to feel it again to be absolutely sure and yup its my bone. :lol3: Boy do I feel dumb. lol. But I would have felt even more stupid to go to the dr and he'd be like, "Ummmmmm that is your rib cage." Can u imagine? :lol: I will keep feeling and I will also have my DH feel too (he was a paramedic/firefighter & worked in the hospital) just to be absolutely sure, but I am pretty sure its my rib cage cuz when I press I can now feel it........

Tera -- Yeah I am so relieved that me and the new chick are getting along. I guess she was worried just like I was. Only thing I am worried about is towards the end of our shift on Thursday morning I was getting extremely tired and um cranky, esp with all the "Daywalkers" (Dayshift people :p) there.

Plus I found out one annoying habit that the new girl has -- she pops her gum, which drives me totally insane! :crazy: So between those two, I was just ready to get the you know what out of there and so when it was time to leave, she said to me, "You go home and get some rest, you look like your really tired" and I know that was a nice way of saying, "You look like your about to blow a gasket, go home." :lol: But I just hope she understands that I was just sooooo tired and when I am tired, I get VERY cranky. lol. If not, she will learn soon enough. :lol3:

I kinda wear my emotions on my sleeve, as my mom always said. I just can't help it. If I am p.oed. everybody knows it, if I am sad, everybody knows it and if I am happy, yup everybody knows it. lol. And also I noticed that my attitude seems to affect everybody around me if I am mad or sad and quiet, then so is everyone around me. I guess they are in fear for their lives that if they say something to me I will bite their heads off. lol. Only people who are "Brave" enough to talk to me when I am in that state of mind is my DH, my mom, and my "Work Husband" as my DH calls him, but as I told DH, he is no longer my "work husband" anymore since they moved me. So DH said, "Now you have a "Work Wife" :lol3: So Sunday night when we go back to work I may have to explain about me but her being a woman, she probably is aware of it. lol. But also with this PCOS, it makes me even moodier than I am normally too, so that doesn't help.....But yes I am a moody person, shocking :fr: , I know. lol. I try really hard to stay positive and I did all week at work, even with all the ciaos, just the last hr I just kinda "cracked" lol. I believe it was the gum popping that did it and I may just have to tell her that drives me crazy because we work together too much now to get on each others nerves, even though I know its inevitable. I know its a matter of time before I get on her nerves, if I haven't already. lol.

She seems like a very open person, so I think it will be ok. I will just tell her "please tell me if I ever do anything to get on your nerves or if I do something that hurts your feelings or p's you off." that way we can discuss it and get over it. With my "Work Husband" as my DH called him, he just would ask me out right, "What is wrong?" lol. Just like my "Real" DH does. lol. So I tell them and then feel better than I'm fine. lol. So I guess if I would have just turned around Thurs. morning and asked her to pls not to pop her gum, that would have helped me not have been such a crank. lol.

When DH came home from his interview I asked him to stop and get me something from one of our favorite restaurants that we don't get to eat at very often. Infact I believe the last time was about 1 yr or maybe even 2 yrs ago! So yes it wasn't healthy and yes I ate it and we also had a Pizza Party for one of our coworkers who is getting married on Saturday. I only had 3 pieces all night and I work 12.5 hrs so I don't think that is too bad? I did eat crazy bread though and I know that is really bad........but it wasn't a lot.......I also ate one Turtle Brownie that my DH made for me to bring to work. My new coworker ate 3 brownies and the guys I used to work with ate the rest! :faint: lol.

But good news!! My Eating Clean Book (by Tosco Reno) came yesterday. :D So I plan on reading that. :yes:

Well I have rambled on and on.........:blah: lol.

Have a Great Friday!!!

hey momof4under5 - i just wanted to say that what you are experiencing is withdrawal symptoms. you cannot go cold turkey of these meds without experiencing a lot of HECK and probably feel you are losing your mind to boot!!

if someone needs to come off a psych med (or find out the actual cause of their depression/mental problems is from a thyroid problem and is properly treated for that and then needs to come off the psych meds) it needs to be done very slowly and most have found that what works best is the 10% water filtration method - which is basically a 10% reduction of the med about every 2 weeks or so, until stabilized and then another 10% reduction is done!

People go cold turkey off these meds and then have terrible side effects and then think well surely they need the meds if they feel so badly - but again - it is withdrawal symptoms. I'm not saying you don't need the meds (bec I do not know what you do or do not need) -but I'm just saying if you decide you don't need the meds you have to withdraw off them very very slowly!!!

here is an link explaining water filtration if you feel at some point you need to come off a med
