It seems to have maintained all year, with no noticeable side effects.

As for the rest, I'm fed up with being told I have a disorder just because I have more passion and intensity than most other people do. I'm angry that I have to fit in, but I'm also angry because I am different from most people. It's all just Talk about an existential dilemma....
I'm sorry, Beth. I know. I do know. People just don't get us. It's why I spend so much time on PC--you guys do get it. I will have to look into Pristiq and see if that is a maybe possibility.
