So far, so good on the 20 mg Prozac - - no ill side effects. I realize it will take weeks to work (if it even helps at all). It was my mainstay for years until my former pdoc took me off it in May (for no explicable reason), so hopefully it will help me get on track again.

Amazingly, I made it until about 10 p.m. at the Christmas Eve party, and to all events the next day too. I was surprised I was able to stay up until 10 (latest I've been up in a very long time). Really enjoyed both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Glad we made it to church yesterday. Now it's back to my ho-hum routine - - looking for a job/waiting for the appropriate time (a couple of weeks or so) to call back my top job prospect to see if he and his partner have made a decision about hiring me. I sure as hell hope so . . . Throw in a little laundry, some 12 steps meetings, tidying up the house, too much watching t.v. and resting, and you have my life lately!
