Ooh, that's not good! I don't want to be a zombie. I just got off

the amitriptyline and I finally feel sort of normal. I always felt

so drugged all day when I was on that - even though I only took it at

night.

Well, I definitely don't want to get addicted to the Xanax, so I'll

be real careful with it. How does the magnesium work? I take that

all day. Should I just take it at night? It doesn't seem to relax

me or anything.

How are you doing Barby? I read one of your posts the other day that

you've been out and about - driving and everything. Good for you!

Love ya.
