Re: Weepy times

here. Unfortunately I can't blame Prednisone for my reactions.

I am not presently on it and have only had to take it when I got nuked

from bug spray. Was able to take for a couple days and then go right

off. I'm afraid my mental status can't be blamed on that

(darn it). Hopefully with time I will be able to overcome

this but truly I believe my personal relationship with God is so strong

it can withstand anything. Church helps, but I really believe it

is how I live each day and treat others that is the most important to

God.

I will consider the St. 's wart. I have read some about it

and probably do need some type of emotional buster right now. Hate

to go on any more meds but realize they do have a place for most of us.

I do know that when I do surgery counseling the surgical facilities want

patients to stop taking St. 's wart a few weeks before surgery.

Also advise those on Gingo Biloba and other vitamins and herbs to stop

also. Will bring home the information from the surgery centers and

post for everyone. Some of the herbs and vitamins affect the way

anesthesia works, thins blood etc. This will be good for everyone

to know. This is new information from surgery centers so will be

happy to pass it on to everyone.

Thanks for the advise . Really appreciate this group and

all the valuable input from everybody. Hopefully the St. 's Wart

will stop some of the tears! I cry not only at sad things but also

at happy things too. Oh well, guess I'm just a wimp. Of course,

I've never been able to watch a Hallmark commercial without crying and

Lassie Come Home about did me in.

Hope everyone has a good Monday!

Have you ever thought about your over-reactions to church being

related to

the peculiar kind of sentimentality and depression you can get

on prednisone?

I was starting to get weepy, too, and doc suggested I try

St. 's Wort.

I worked wonders. Started with three capsules (500

mg) a day, then went

down to two as I decreased prednisone. Am going to

try a week or two

without it now and see if there is any return of the quick tears.
