Ah, just take a handful. Like M&Ms.

That's what I was hoping.

Christ, really I just wish I didn't have cramps right now.

all in all I think I'd just as soon go back to Celexa anyway. How high can you go on that, for curiosity's sake? I think I had 40mg when I switched over.

You can go to 60 mg/day, but it's not markedly more effective at doses higher than 40 mg/day. Celexa, that is. It's a whole law of diminishing returns thing.

Doesn't it make the drug less effective if you take a higher dose and try to return to a lower dose? Like a capacity thing. IME.

Cool, thanks.

Hmm. I honestly don't know on that one. I'll have to poke around and see what info I can dig up.

IIRC (from the video clips I cut for their website lo these many years ago), 10mg Lexapro = 20mg Celexa. (Lexapro, as a molecule, is essentially half a Celexa, so you only need half as much to get the same effect. In theory, anyway -- obviously some people still do better on Celexa, so it's not an exact science.)

Yeah, that's more or less what my doctor told me, and that Lexapro is supposed to have fewer side effects. I haven't really found that to be true - I have more sides, though not severe ones, and some vaguely alarming mood spirals that I never experienced on Celexa. Now I just have to get around to making an appointment, though.

Seriously, one of the most upsetting things I see on The Sopranos(With all the adultery, kneecappings, and stranglings) is Tony Soprano taking great big handfuls of Prozac. You'd think he had a problem following the rules or something.

crammed with lashings of delicious grub, and then as one gradually empties it, one's loving mater and pater gradually send more ripping treats.

I want lashings of delicious grub! And also some ripping treats. Somebody get right on that, please.

Um....

Megalomaniac Darwinian globalists are in the process of creating a new world order in which the Masters (themselves) will be served by scientifically-re-engineered “Un Man.” The stumbling block is Christianity and the individualism that naturally occurs from belief in God as Sovereign of the universe. Hence the unrelenting and increasingly virulent hatred being spewed at Christians, Christmas, and all things relating to Christianity.

...

As Americans began turning their backs on God, atheist and infidel alike began crawling out of the dark, sharpening their swords, and forging our chains.

Fuck, I haven't been sharpening my sword. I don't even have a sword. And I must have missed the notices of the chain-forging parties.
