I switched insurance and had five days without prozac, prempro (I can't believe I'm on estrogen replacement), and ambien though I did have xanax (which didn't help). My dad's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, which made for an interesting family Christmas. I broke my leg over summer, snapping my tibia, which makes me terrified of falling again. I had gastric bypass surgery, but have regained since of course re-routing one's digestive tract does NOTHING for an eating addiction. Our work started up its annual Great Weight Challenge, and a friend got me to sign up -- which was enough to trigger compulsive eating. Again. I've got to find an OA group I can attend. FAST. I'm with you in spirit.Emmalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085723668683619452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-15954060434774587792011-01-17T11:26:51.941-05:002011-01-17T11:26:51.941-05:00Hi, I check your blog frequently for updates.

If you have the strength to recognize all this, you have the strength to overcome it. But sometimes, you just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other for a while. That is all.

Of course, this post makes me worry still... your depression sounds worse, not better... and the prozac seems to complicate things, not improve them. Maybe it is time to find another doctor who can untangle the med's and other therapies and come up with another way to help you help yourself.<br />Keep fighting, Frances. I am rooting for you!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036007550826655610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15680498.post-20011645339472933142011-01-04T15:08:34.066-05:002011-01-04T15:08:34.066-05:00So glad you're back.
