Basically the Academy is the cast of Cocoon. Brimleeeeeey!

I thought mama and sugar had broken up already?

Hooray for whichever IUD you choose!

Thanks! And with regard to the IUD, I just got my second Mirena in last week. It is ... The tits! It nearly eliminates your period to the point where tampons are basically unnecessary, and pads are needed sparingly which saves money every month. Insertion can be painful. Recommend you get it put in when you're…

No health insurance? Ugh, I'm so sorry. You don't deserve to have to choose between meds. That said, it will be an opportunity to test your theory. I've come up with lots of theories, including that my being Asian increased my chances of gaining a crazy amount of weight ... in the way we metabolize alcohol differently…

The junk wants what the junk wants. My dream type is Pete Sampras but I got a weird thing for Travis Barker too. Oh well.

Where is that gif from? Please, I need answers. Pleeaaaaaaaase

Yeah, that's mine. Kind of scary the side effects on such a low dosage. So you said you no longer feel like slamming your car into a tree (so sorry you ever felt that way, and so flax you don't continue to) is that bc the Effexor worked, even after you got off? Or did you get off but withdrawal was so bad you got back…

Uhhhhhh, that sounds like such a pain in the ass. Hope things get easier. Sending you good vibes.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. So glad you seem to be taking awesome care of yourself. I aspire to do the same.

That's the most vivid description of withdrawal I've read. Sounds horrible and scary. So sorry you had to go through that.

rock on meggus, thank you! My psych had mentioned Prozac helped with withdrawing from Effexor but it's good to hear you say it too.

thanks for sharing your experience! And sorry it was so awful. Sometimes it's hard to believe the medicine is supposed to be better than the depression. My memory is shot too from years on depakote for a seizure disorder ... and brain zaps! Oh and congrats on the weight loss!! I'm about five pounds from my starting…

wow thank you! I agree with the losing weight ... Been almost two years off celexa and weight has only now almost all come off after working my ass off at the stupid gym. Doctors are so eager to get you on the meds. After shit hits the fan they act like a few dozen pounds is nothing. "You look the same to me!" Tell…

thanks! That's my prescription.

does withdrawal feel like nausea?

Wow thanks for all the info! Best of luck to you too!

Do you think you felt better bc the meds worked their magic and healed you? Or more like being med free felt awesome bc they had made you feel shitty while in your system?

So sorry. It's a shitty feeling ... I wish I didn't care about the weight gain on celexa BC otherwise I felt great. But gaining a bunch of weight so fast is scary. I've never heard of lyrica. Sounds like an antidepressant for songwriters.

Good luck. Trying to find the right meds is the opposite of fun. Feel like a guinea pig.
