Mermaid 2006

Wry humour there.

Anyway, went to the doc (she's just great) and have decided to come off the meds altogether over the next two weeks and go it alone because I am strong and I have support; diet, exercise, positive thinking and the love of some special people will get me there.

No more crutches and no more excuses. Today is a brand new day.

Multivitamin 1x

Extra Vit C at moment to fight off cold
Inkephalin (phenylalanine (sp), tyrosine, zinc) 1 tab 4x
Probiotic (until it runs out) 2x
Sesapure 1 tab 4x
Glucorell 1 tab 4x
ZMA before bed 1x
Cardio Breeze 2x (before AM workout - see how that goes in case I need to cycle off)

Keep in mind ... wellbutrin, is one of milder ADs ... You can do this gurl !!!

And I'm sorry , if you need to get in some extra cardio, to vent, DO IT ... I use to run and run and run ... for an hour at least every day, at least ... helped me pound the pavement, clear my head, I also write, journal, draw, etc.... I mean there are so many things to help ... we are here for you
