Yep, I have a great psychiatrist and a good family doctor. We're doing the weaning nice and slow. :)

My medications are mostly mood stabilizers rather than antidepressants. I've been on them for ... jeez... maybe only 4 years. It took a long time to find the right mix. My doctor mentioned that an SSRI may be ok for pregnancy, but unfortunately those aren't really what I need. (Congrats on three pregnancies!)

Oh, I also wanted to add that we weigh about the same and my arms are the same exact size as yours. And, if I strength train without eating right, they get even bigger. Just keep trying to eat right and do those push-ups! :smile:

Hey there, I have the same issue. It's just genetic I think. My thighs and my upper arms carry a disproportionate amount of weight. I always have to size up in shirts because of this (and still sometimes sleeves are too tight). But, hey, that's just the way we are made. Try not to sweat it too much. You are not "horrible"…

Yeah, cold turkey is not for me. A while back there was a glitch with my pharmacy and I could not get my medications over a 3-day holiday weekend, it was actually 5 days in total. Never ever want to go through that again. I'm weaning off gradually.

Yeah, I don't feel like exercising most of the time, but I'm trying to make it non-optional. I'm treating 30-minutes of movement a day as a required medication in itself. But it's hard. Congrats on your success.

The brain zaps are so so weird. I also feel a little drunk? Like, I'll turn my head to the left or right quickly and it seems to take my eyesight a little longer to catch up.

Positive self speak. Yes yes yes. Never say anything about yourself that you wouldn't say to your best friend or to your child.

Good luck to you as well! I would prefer to stay on mine, but I'm considering (maybe??) trying to get pregnant. (OMG. hahha!) Doc says it's best to try and get off of everything. So far it's been rocky. I find good music during my workout really helps. Music therapy I guess! :)

Hi! Totally new here. Would love to find some encouraging friends.

Fellow geek here! I'm totally new here. Feel free to friend. I grew up on Star Trek TNG. And, so, I think my highest geek cred is the fact that I watch at least one episode every night (it puts me to sleep). What are your favorite TNG episodes besides the obvious (Best of Both Worlds, Inner Light, etc.)? I also love BSG…

New here! Anyone out there an aerial acrobat (pole dance, static trapeze, silks, rope)? Would love to friend! I'm also always looking for fellow geek friends (gamers, Star Trek, Sci-Fi, etc). Any Zombie Runners? :)

I'm a fellow pole dancer. Feel free to friend! Congrats on graduating!

Fellow pole dancer and aspiring aerial acrobat here! Would love some pole pals, feel free to friend. :)

Hi there! Fellow pole dancer and aspiring aerial acrobat here. We def need a group. :)

Hi, fellow pole dancer here. Looking for others too, feel free to connect. :)
