And I haven&#8217;t even taken tonight&#8217;s dosage, so tomorrow will be my last.  I&#8217;ve taken over 2 and a half months to wean off of it, which is a good thing.  When you try to stop anti-depressants quickly, your body does NOT like it.  While I&#8217;ve had the occasional headache, and my sleeping pattern has changed slightly, I&#8217;d say I&#8217;ve done pretty good.<br \/>\nNow, I&#8217;ll be honest; I am TERRIFIED of what may happen once I stop completely.  I NEVER want to go back to how I was before.  I don&#8217;t want to spend days at a time in bed.  I don&#8217;t want to cry at the drop of a hat.  I don&#8217;t want to start having anxiety attacks.  This time last year, I was a total mess.  I remember talking to the doctor, TRYING to sound normal.  When I wasn&#8217;t lethargic, I was nervous.  It sucked.<br \/>\nApparently the photo lab is looking for a new supervisor.  I refuse to even think about it.  I know the money would be REALLY good, and it would make our financial situation better, but I just can&#8217;t do it.  I think it reminds me too much of a time when I was messed up.  I do miss the people that I worked with, but all of them have since quit anyways.  They&#8217;ve all had babies.<br \/>\nAnyhooo&#8230;.we&#8217;ll see how this goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I have two pills of Lexapro left.
