thank you for posting this, imp . ativan is helping a lot. i think i call everything i take a 'crazy med', i don't mind - it's said without stigma (on my part). im interested in anything that will give me relief for a while.

it feels so bizarre that i can just switch like this. that for months i could be in such despair and then after a day i can just be... nothing.
