MDJunction to me

Joy75"MDJunction to me is a second home. I visit daily to support and get supported. Everyone is so great here. The people are what make this site so
perfect. When someone says I helped them, I feel so good about myself. When
I am down, I come here to talk with my lovely friends. This is a great site
and I’ve come to love it and my friends here. Thank you for making such a
wonderful place to call home!

I really have little to say after all of these wonderful responses! I agree with them. You need to find a pdoc - someone who understands. It took me at least 3 tries to find one that I liked who really cares. He asks me how I'm doing in therapy and so forth. Meds don't come up until the end of our conversation. If it's possible, stay on your meds until then or titrate down in a slower way. It would be great if you have refills left. Lamictal is nothing to play with. It takes at least 6-8 weeks to get on a therapeutic dose and probably several weeks to wean off it.

It's almost a week now. The itching has ceased and I feel quite strange...attached or detached, not sure which one! Thanks for the support Smile
