I would like to try LDN but I do not think anyone will respond to that request. Does it help emotions, Sally?

No drinking for me; haven't had anything other than one hard cider bottle since last Christmas/Chanukkah season. Blacked out after two drinks. I remember getting in the car (my daughter was driving) and coming to a few miles away. Heather said I was sitting up, with my eyes open & didn't talk to her when I was asked questions. So, no alcohol for me.
I will NEVER take any type of antidepressant. My poor mom is bipolar (this is the current term...she has been dx'd with several terms over the years); I've seen too many dr's (they insisted the whole family be "treated") handing out way too many drugs. In fact, I'm very glad that my current dr & neurologist see me as pretty well balanced. Otherwise, I'd be finding a new dr.
Some people need this type of therapy & I hope they follow their dr's advice. Others fall into a group I think some docs don't understand...so they medicate first & ask questions about what's going on later...when it's too late to be sure. So they "adjust" the meds. Not a good place to be.
Gripe session over, I think I need to go find a nice bar of chocolate!
