[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 174055, member: 3419"] Good catch, Sara. I hadn't even noticed that. Could you switch to Effexor, Jody? (I have no idea what the cost is.) The only problem is, like Prozac, it takes a few wks to kick in. How long have you been on the Prozac? I know several people who take it and it makes them forgetful and zoned out, but it does take the edge off. Yrs ago, when I started peri-menopause, I talked to my OBGYN about stress. He asked me what sorts of stress, and I said, "Oh, I just feel like clawing out my husband's and son's eyeballs and then shooting them." He nodded calmly, and said, "Okay, try Effexor for awhile and see what that does." ROFL!!!! I asked if he had a lot of women coming in and saying that and he said, "Yes, actually." Yrs ago, our pediatrician refused to give difficult child anything for his ADHD. (This, after difficult child had yanked the battery charged otoscope and other equip off the wall, cleared the dr's desk onto the floor, yanked the dr's tie on his neck and nearly choked him, and knocked his glasses off.) Over the din, the dr. shouted, "He's just a BOY! I had four of them! There isn't anything they can give for that!" I shouted back, over my son's screaming, "Then, can you give ME something?" And he shouted, "Yes, a glass of wine." I said "I already do that," and he replied, "Then have the whole bottle!" (by the way, he retired, and as my son got older, the teachers had a hard time dealing with-him, as did I--major understatement--so the new dr gave us a scrip. We'd run out of options after we'd gone through diet changes and counseling. Turns out that the scrip helped difficult child deal with and comprehend the diet changes and counseling. Sometimes it works backward.) [/QUOTE]
