I will NOT take this medication again, unless absolutely necessary, because it makes me so numb and I lose my creativity.
Just a bit of info of why our brains react the way they do to a loss.

Hi SunAngel firstly I would like to offer my sympathy about your pet,this also happened to me and I was so devastated,it was years ago but I've not forgotten.
Your doc seems to have gave you a good back up plan there,and although I know you don't seem to like those pills its reassuring to know that they are there if needs be.
I wish they would give me something like that for my husband as he is in charge of my medication and I believe it would re assure him also. Also if it prevents hospitalisation its got to be a good thing.
I hope you start to feel a little better soon and you are in my thoughts
Take care
JK
