Except for the persistent stomach cramps, I'm happy and relaxed. You and M. were very supportive and understanding. I can't say that I won't ever go back on something, but I would stay the hell away from Effexor. Did I mention that it has a half life of five hours? If you miss a dose, you can start feeling otherworldly in short order. And they say now it should only be considered a last resort, because the side effects and withdrawal are worse than the other ones. I am well, Jennifer.

The work episode scared the hell out of me way back when. Have always wondered if I was appropriately supportive. So better life through chemistry is not the option? I was thinking of taking it up :-) How are you? The work episode scared the hell out of me way back when. Have always wondered if I was appropriately supportive.

I might just stick with it. developing my own is an option too... but no time right now. As I told mom, I've only seen 4 ambulatory leprechauns, so I think I'm doing okay. But the withdrawal is hell. It's all about Fish Oil. And Gingko Biloba (my new favorite). I like the hemingway theme as well, though in my advanced age, the font might be a wee smallish.
