Mentor FarmGirlWorks Posted July 2, 2018 Mentor Share Posted July 2, 2018 THANKS for this article, @TryingToHoldOn. I went to the gym maybe twice last week and was appalled by how weak my legs are even though I am walking a bit in a hilly city. The yoga I do is great for the nervous system (and arms) but not so much for the legs. More gym motivation 🙂 Prozac | late 2004-mid-2005 | CT WD in a couple months, mostly emotional Sertraline 50-100mg | 11/2011-3/2014, 10/2014-3/2017 Sertraline fast taper March 2017, 4 weeks, OFF sertraline April 1, 2017 Quit alcohol May 20, 2017 Lifestyle changes: AA, kundalini yoga "If you've seen a monster, even if it's horrible, that's evidence of divinity." – Damien Echols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
