~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Jude58]

Howdy empyr3al! Thanks for stopping by the cafe, and hope that you are doing well.

Rava, have you talked to your doctor about getting off of the antidepressants? Might not be a bad idea.

I just put in my notice at work that I'm going to retire at the end of February. My boss told me that I can always go back if I wanted to, which is comforting to know.

I'm in for another 24 hours...

Great to see you, empyr3al! It's been ages. Hope all is well with you.

Jude, that's wonderful news about your decision to retire! I love being retired. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities if you feel you need a little something to do to get you out of the house.

It seems that getting off regular alcohol abuse might change brain chemistry enough that it would be worth discussion with a doc. Perhaps the need for the antidepressant is reduced when alcohol abuse is eliminated. When I was on Lexapro all those years ago I was still abusing al and I think my drinking actually increased at the time. It's no wonder I couldn't see if it was helping me or not. I certainly wasn't helping myself at the time. Ginger and Rava, it might be worth a mention to your GPs that you have stopped drinking and whether that would affect any of your other medications.

Cowboy, are you thinking about helping with the planting this spring?

Waves to you Mul!

24 more for all of us please and thank you.
