Kirk, I was joshing you about your malas. Actually I hundreds of malas of rudraksha beads, many of the beads are monstrous and rare. We're looking at enough money to buy a small Lexus with my beads. Glad you took the time off. You needed to get back together. And yes, Celexa is an SSRI. It prevents the amount of seratonin (relaxation, sleep, gaining weight) in your brain from being degraded. So yes, it does allow you to feel better about yourself. But it's not a crutch. It's just bringing back into balance what is your birthright. There are all sorts of (drug) ways to attack depression. I would have loved to hear that you got a testosterone patch and an anti-depressent which dealt with more than one neurotransmitter, but when dealing with depression, all roads lead to Rome. Expect to be on an anti-depressant for at least a year. Two years would be good. It takes a long time to get everything fine tuned and remember that you'll have to be titrated down not just discontinue the drug. I don't quite remember the name of the guy in the Boston area who lost his high tech job and was on increasing amounts of Prozac on a.t.m. Remember him? He told me he met Judy for lunch and it was pretty obvious why she never married. Expect to find yourself doing things you haven't done in a long time or never did before. This will happen as your emotions free up and flow more. Also expect yourself deciding to quit taking various drugs. As you're more self-satisfied or at least able to be happy with just who you are you'll find yourself actually desiring fewer drugs. Don't worry, they won't go to waste. Package them up and send them out to FFLers who ask for them. Make your first shipment to Turq and faithfully list the contents of the package on the customs declaration. Don't think it strange if ideas of making money in new ways come to you. Getting your emotions/physiology unfrozen does that to you.
