Yet another dark gray day. It was somewhat mitigated by the fact that it warmed up slightly, enough so that I could chip the ice off the edge of the porch with my sturdy steel square-edged spade. Sometimes a snow shovel won't do, and you have to get out the heavy equipment.

The Sparrowhawk mailed the Advent calendars out to the kids. He also bought stamps for the Christmas cards, and a few stamps for my mother, too, in case she gets around to sending any cards this year. He said the non-religious Christmas stamps were "insipid," so he bought dragons instead. I am totally on board with this decision. I can't wait to put dragon stamps on my Christmas cards. We went for a walk and didn't fall down. We walked over to the garden store/greenhouse to look at Christmas greens and trees.

I've decided to go off the Wellbutrin and see what happens. I don't feel that I'm significantly less depressed. It could be that I'm not an accurate observer. However, the side effects that I think I've been experiencing are joint pain and stomach pain, and they've become bad enough that I think I would be happier with less pain, even if I'm still depressed. Hello, PAIN IS DEPRESSING. An anti-depression drug that causes pain isn't helping. I still have several weeks worth of pills, so I can start taking them again if I want to. But I don't think I will.

your body, your decision

i dunno if tapering is recommended for welbutrin, is the only caveat.

i've been enjoying the hell out of xmas stamps for almost 40 years, which is when i got a rubber stamp that says "it's a girl!" it always cheers me up, and in the dark of winter, that's important.

Any time I've gotten off any antidepressant, I've had to taper off over a period of weeks. I hope your doctor can advise you. The side effects sound nasty!

As long as you're safe and well, anything goes.
