Thank you all for being here for me.

yes i am inclined to think after reading your posts probably what is going on is related to the benzo reduction, at least in part.

Bizi... (thanks for dropping in on me here, btw) just a mention on the 5-HTP: it can make you manic yes, but for the same reasons any SSRI can. and the two should not be combined for risk of Serotonin Syndrome. however, with a mood stabilizer on board, 5-HTP, per se, should be alright... but... it is not well-standardized since it is sold as a supplement and not a med, and i don't believe there is an established dose range either, so it's a bit like playing Russian Roulette... my pdoc quite firmly advised to stick with the Zoloft so that was that.

i slept but i have a nasty headache of unknown origin (could be any of about 4 things again no telling) - kept waking with it too... blech what a night. so i will go for now. just wanted to drop in and say how much i appreciate you all.

(((Misti and Reyn)))... i hope you two feel better soon, also.
