I've said it before, but it so nice when a thread deviates slightly towards the lighter side of life and I really get a giggle.

However, Suzanne, thanks for bringing us back on track and this might be a good time to update. Like magic, Alex is heading back towards his old self. The drug he is taking is Avanza(mirtazapine)which is a tetracyclic antidepressant if that means anything to anyone. I am still trying to get the time to research the whole depression thing and so far have not really got far enough into it to feel like I know what is going on. It's on the list though.

Also on the list is a full blood work up with TSH and testosterone levels included which might also give us some pointers. I think that is to be done this week or next. Alex has the paperwork, just needs to get around to it.

A counsellor is still not an option - especially now Alex feels so good, I have no chance of getting him anywhere near an "ologist" anything. At the moment, I am not so concerned though.
