> I was devastated to see my window to the real world close so quickly; such a brief glimpse seemed like a cruel joke. I went into deep mourning; it felt like (and still does) I had died, leaving behind this useless, spiritless husk. Sorry to sound so melodramatic; I hadn't experienced emotions that intense in decades.
I have also experienced this cruel joke. I'm sure anyone else who has should find your description to be more understatement than hyperbole.
> My pdoc's reaction? "At least we know the wiring is still there." It was a reasonable response (a stroke many years ago wiped out a sizeable chunk of my right parietal lobe), but I thought it lacked a certain empathy.
I sometimes think that pdocs try very hard to act dispassionately. Maybe it is an attempt to create some sort of stability during the waiting process. I think it might help temper one's reaction to treatment failures. I don't know.
You are extraordinarily persevering.
While I've got your ear...How would you compare Ambien to Ativan in terms of efficacy and side effects?
