So pleased you are doing so well with no depression.  Thinking of you.

Day 63..Head zaps tapering very well..One observation after this long is my heart rate has dropped from 80s Bpm to a relaxed 60sbpm. Thats also not on Valium. The nausea is the one im finding hard. Keeping my diet up,portions of food a lower though.No depression whatsoever..Little spring in my step as the sunshine draws near.

The end is in sight.  So glad you have no depression.  I still get anxiety now and then even though stopped medication last September.  

Yes you have certainly been on a rollercoaster ride.  Well done you.  

My thoughts are with you.  Take care.
