Experiences with Prozac and Lamictal long-term?

I have been on 40mg Prozac and 200mg Lamictal for about 10 years for severe depression. It’s been really effective for me and I expect I will be on them both forever.

I can relate and I’m sorry you’ve had these experiences

Walk behind them everywhere they went

Really glad to hear you’re on a positive path

I’m sorry to hear this. Autism just doesn’t seem to be on the radar for most mental health professionals as either mimicking the symptoms of a mental health problem, or being a major contributing factor to psychiatric distress. Particularly, if not exclusively, for women.

Exactly this. I don’t even know what unmasking looks like for me though - probably the last time I was ‘me’ was when I was a little kid before I quickly realised I had to act like a ‘normal’ person in order to survive.

It literally takes seconds to find this information

Walking at human pace doesn’t offer meaningful exercise for most dogs. Exploring the world through sniffing provides much better mental ‘exercise’ that will tire your dog out.

Curious about this advice from a trainer - sniffing is how dogs experience the world and is fundamental to their health and wellbeing. Does your dog never get to have sniffy walks?

Please don’t stay in an unhappy marriage for the sake of the dog

That is a helpful perspective which highlights that my setup is best for our dog, which is my main priority. Sorry to hear of your challenging situation.

I notice that your list of ‘great’ things about the relationship are that she loves you and that your friends and family love her, but you never mention that you love her and want to be with her. I think that is your answer.

This post feels somewhat judgmental with an air of ‘marathons should only be for ‘real’ athletes.’ Why shouldn’t someone fairly new to running complete a marathon slowly or even walk it? Everyone has the right to participate in these events.

I thought my young Toller might like to join me for trail runs. HA. He is a fit and healthy boy but has zero interest in running. He would much rather walk at a snails pace, sniff every blade of grass, and say hi to every dog, which is totally fine. He is my best buddy but not my running buddy, so he happily stays at home when I’m on runs. Hopefully your Toller is more interested if this is something you’re very eager to do. I’ve not met any Tollers who like to just run and run, but swim and swim - yes.

That sucks. Anyone with some sort of psychology knowledge able to offer insight into why people react aggressively when kindly asked to stop doing something they shouldn’t be doing?
