It is such a great feeling, especially when one hasn't had it in a while. I'd agree that if the side effects aren't too bad, it's worth trying the medication longer. Of course, I'm still on my medications... so maybe I'm biased. :) And I have definitely found that dose increases can be helpful. And life changes. Whatever the reason(s), I'm glad you are feeling better.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051102407708751849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002849649452685145.post-82244291255561791982014-04-24T08:44:14.324-07:002014-04-24T08:44:14.324-07:00I'm glad you're seeing some good effects f...I'm glad you're seeing some good effects from the medication.

I seem to recall that it took about that long before I saw a significant improvement.71º & Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981113989131619635noreply@blogger.com
