I couldn't take more than 15 mg because it threw me into mild hypomania. It was

Aspirin? How come?

That was my thought, ultramar. That seems like a weird replacement, genetic. Like comparing apples & oranges... Weird.
How are you today Coco?

I've been feeling ok but no difference in depression. I still fight the low energy and no motivation. I'm hoping Lamictal will help soon

I hope so too! It's hard to be patient, especially when feeling crummy. I heard an acronym for time pertaining to time/patience.

T.I.M.E. = Things I Must Endure
Turns into: Things I May Enjoy

I'm impatient: Time Is My Enemy. LOL I want to feel better right now! (Add a stamping foot).

I like the TIME acronym. I'm impatient too but am trying to do better. Thanks for the hug.
