[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 587434, member: 15907"] Oh, no worries. I was a little worried myself, it's the second time this week I've had a touch of misunderstanding due to, I guess the best way to describe it, the assumption that my routine of thinking was either obvious or common. I blame some lack of sleep and the trip stress, but those add up to lack of presence and awareness which is something I try to avoid. I think all the therapy and exercise I was doing kept the creeping black fog at bay until it just overwhelmed me - I remember one specific moment, a week before my appointment, where we were visiting the inlaws. DEX already knew I was having bad problems and he kept feeding me coffee and tea so I could get out of bed in the morning. So, I'm dishing up dinner salads, and spilled a little - some fell in the silverware drawer, some fell on the floor, and I froze - I could NOT decide which to pick up first. I started shaking, I was that bad, and he saw, ran over and helped. The Zoloft - it helped me detach, but it wasn't a pleasant detachment. On the other hand, anything short of an axe to the skull would have been welcome by that point. So I get what you're saying. My mantra was "Some days, honor is all there is." I couldn't run away in any sense because abandoning my kids would have been about the worst thing on the planet for me. Contrast that to how I feel now. :) It's a pretty strange journey, parenthood. To keep on topic better, someone mentioned Strattera - A bipolar friend who is a walking pharm encyclopedia suggested that may be what's prescribed when Kiddo gets to the point of medications. Are there any suggestions or comments from the other parents here who've had their kids on it? [/QUOTE]
