I look forward to hearing any progress you have with it. Pity there are no journal entries here to keep records of day to day progress.

I fear the negative symptoms so more then the positive ones. If there is anything out there that can keeps those bad boys away, I’d love to know.

I’m happy with how things are now, but if I ever relapse… it would be nice to know I can come back.

Oh… I forgot to say, I hope it goes well for you.

Very much so.The withdrawals more then anything. In the past just one session of therapy would fulfill my social needs for the week.

Give the meds around 4 weeks to really see any difference or effect. Would also think it’s worth giving yourself a push by setting some basic goals to help kick start it off a bit. Old habits die hard as they say and the meds would help a bit helping them die but doubt it would happen without some fight.
