Still more depressed/maudlin than baseline. Stupid Paxil. down to 5mg daily; in two weeks it'll be 5mg/every other day, and then it'll be GONE FROM MY LIFE and I should really have a party

re: link - YES! i did. and thanked you effusively which may well have been eaten <3 it was great. re: Cymbalta - never taken it personally; have had friends who have taken it. reports have been mixedish tending toward good. (for the best reports of side effects check out Crazymeds.) Did they finally put you on something for your pain/baseline anxiety? Jesus fucking Christ it's about damn time.) Paxil is good for some people; it used to be good for me. Then I was seriously overdosed due to an idiot attending, proving that my insurance also covers total fucking idiots (between it and the Celexa, which is similar enough to be more or less chemically the same, I was taking 100mg/day and that was fucking me up HARDCORE. It's also the WORST SSRI to go off of: see Crazymeds for why. <3)
My doctor put me on Paxil once. Oh my God, what a horror show. I lasted two weeks. After that they tried Effexor and Wellbutrin, but it made my blood pressure skyrocket. My doctor kept telling me it was a rare side effect, as if I was doing it on purpose. Bitch. Anyway, they switched me to Cipralex and it's much better. No side effects.
I had a physical allergic reaction to Paxil - terrible rash all over my chest. Another one of my friends was on Paxil for a few months when she needed some help getting stability in her life. I guess it all depends.
Don't worry. It's not an obsession, just a fixation.
it used to work for me for a long time, and then i got overdosed (equivalent of 100mg/day due to an idiot attending) and it ended up this way. i'll be SO glad when it's gone.
Yeah, i know what you mean (re: the other states). I have several friends from arkansas. to quote monty python: "it's people like you wot cause unrest."
i'm assuming the resident who did the twittering for that surgery wasn't on the surgical team in a hands-on kinda way. kinda cool, tho, if you're a medical student or a resident or an attending or whoever, and you want to be able to follow someone's surgery to learn from it. but i'd want my surgeons to be paying attention to my kidney, and not running off to twitter every other thing they're doing to me.
this may be a dumb question, but how does arkansas plan to enforce their no-atheists rule? you can't ask someone if they believe in god or follow a particular religion and then disqualify them for a job based on their answer. and me, i'd lie.

No they haven't added anything yet, but I am going to ask next time I go b/c it isn't getting any better unfortunately.
Wow 100mg? Damn, that is a lot.
