Some drugs can screw with your hormones, which in turn tweaks your metabolism -- birth control pills do that.

Do you know which Elavil does? It affects the appetite at the very least, since increased desire for sweets is also listed as a possible side effect. But I wonder if it'd be just more to burn off should one succumb, or if Elavil would make it stick too.

Do you know which Elavil does?

Just from a cursory glance through the literature, it looks like Elavil t edit *can* increase your craving for sweets AND slow your metabolism (though it doesn't do so in every patient). t /edit I also read something about "alterations in the regulation of fat stores," which I didn't find a full explanation for, though it sounds like it makes your body hang onto fat instead of burning it as efficiently as it should.

Does anyone have a Chicago Style Manual they're willing to part with?

Or at least, how does one cite internet sources in Chicago?

I'm telling you, they'll wish they had trampolines set up all around the base of shrift's building the day she hands in her notice.

I'm no fan of melodrama in my day-to-day life, but some rending of garments would be satisfying.

Thanks, Teppy. I'm really curious to know what an increased craving for sweets will feel like, assuming by sweets they mean dessert-like stuff. If it means candy I will gross myself out.

I mean, should I get that side effect in the lottery.

Allyson, I've got a 14th edition you can have. (The current edition is 15).

[edit: the 14th edition is old enough that they don't talk about the Internet in it much, though]

"alterations in the regulation of fat stores,"

"Fat stores must close no later than 9:00 PM and provide adequate handicapped parking."

I don't see it in this FAQ, Allyson, but maybe there's something here: [link]

Oh, here's something. [link] And one more: [link]

Thanks, Jesse!

I think I better buy one. Thank you Tom. Most of my concern is net cites.
