Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Kahlil Gibran

5 new med times seem to be helping. I have slept awesome the last two nights and have done okay taking the Topamax in the morning. Feeling hopeful. Getting ready for our camping trip on Sunday.
* When nothing goes right...go left
* Attach your own oxygen mask before assisting others
* Women are not that complicated. How hard is it to tell us
we are pretty and give us chocolate?
* Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting their own battle.
* Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its troubles. It empties today of its strength.

150mg Wellbutrin
75mg Topamax
1 mg clonasapam

I'm sorry you are feeling that way Buffernaut. Hope you get the medications you need real soon. Maybe you could get them from your primary care?

2 and barely hanging on. No friends to talk to. The only reason I'm not a 1 is I'm not quite suicidal at the moment.

I am ok. I have been having female problems and as a result my hemoglobin is low and the hormone pills I was prescribed triggered an episode. I am no longer taking the hormone pills and they are giving me iron paks which is greatly increasing my health. I love you all and I cant wait to be more active again!
