hi!  hope you are having a good day.  I just have a quick question for you.  with PAWS, can you have moments of elation as well as all the depression, anxiety, want to slash yourself, then jump off a bridge - as you beat the hell out of everyone on the way down?  Just wondering if that made sense?  kind of a manic/depressive state?

also, I read the post you guys wrote about anti-dep.  Have u ever heard of Serzone?  It worked well for me.  I have also tried Lexapro and it did good, but made me gain a LOT of weight.  (of course, that would be a good thing now) lol  but really, like 30lb in 3 months.  Just a magnet for strange s.e.  anyway, don't know if this info helps at all but I didn't see Serzone mentioned and for anxiety ---  it did the trick.  Actually, I had taken Zanax for about 6 yrs (correctly - 2.5 mg. at night) and I weaned down, got on the serzone with no problem and never took another zany again.  Now obviously if benzo is someones DOC, probably wouldn't work as well but for me.......

anyway - sorry to ramble.  Have a wonderful day - pretty outside.  

Thanks as always to your posts
