I didn't intend to continue this thread, and I thought I'ld be over this tailspin by now. But I'm not.

For some months, I'ld been on a reduced dosage of amitriptyline, an antidepressant. (I went from 60 mg to 45 mg.) I think I better go back to a higher dose.

It's been feeling like I'm stuck in this trough. When I make myself get up and do things, I do feel better. But it doesn't last. I keep slipping back down. That's not my usual patten, which is why I'm concerned. I feel like I need help.

I don't doubt that I can get better. It's just taking too long.
