Sorry for the late post, we just moved and finally have the internet hooked up again. My DX is major depression w/agitated anxiety. It has been hard to figure out which is primary and even the pdocs are not able to tell me which. My suspiscion is the anxiety leads to depression.
I like what you said about sleepy, yet wired. That was me before my depression at 27, nearly 10 years ago. It was a panic attack followed by a drop into the depths of despair that cannot be explained but can only known by those that have experienced it.
I take nortryptline(TCA), lithium as an augument to the AD and tranxene at 22.5 mg. I have not heard of provigil. what exactly is it?
My wife is Japanese and a wonderful person. People with social difficulties, and I experience some, would find Japan quite difficult. That is just my opinion. If you are foreign and in a smaller city you will get stared at most of the time. In the large cities, Tokyo, Osaka, people won't pay you much mind, but it is too crowded for me. I am sure there is a balance there, like living with monks practicing zen or martial arts.
Take care, I always enjoy your posts. They are uplifting. I do have high hopes for lex/celex, but will wait a while. The exam is an engineering exam (8 hours), but we get a book of equations so I think I might be ok. I am reading Dr. Burns book and trying to implement some of it into my thinking. I have always thought therapy was bunk, but now I am not so sure.
Cheers
