Mindy,
I say give it a try.
I second that.
I resisted/refused to take them when i was in the hospital. I was
infuriated that they told me I should be depressed because i was
paralyzed, because they, the doctors, would be.
I thought it was a trick bag. I wasn't depressed, I was in great
pain and they were crass and insensitive. I didn't like anything they
wanted me to take, so took only
what was necessary: wafarin, oxy-b/detrol. Now my wafarin is aspirin
and I take naltrexone. My pain is about 2-3. This past winter was
pretty hellish.... it still goes down to 30 degrees at night here in
NY, and the cold is depressing as is the lack of transportation BUT
thus far I've avoided clinical depression. ALL PRAISES!
