Seconding GC's question about taking ADs while pregnant. It's still a while off for me but any experience buffistas could share on the subject would be much appreciated.
Thank you, vw. Your support has meant so much.
Love makes you do the wacky.

Nora, my grad school sistah! It is nice to be this close, though, isn't it? Of course, it'll be nicer come mid-December when it is OVER!!!!

Me: Oh, fuck them. What'd the ferret farmer say?
Phone: I'll tell you later. *ring*
Me: C'mon...

Me: Can I help you with something?
FCO'tD: Yes. I was talking to this other woman the other day about family leave. I don't remember her name.
Me: Okay...
FCO'tD: ...

FCO'tD: Can I talk to her again?
Me: Was her name [Co-worker]?

I've been on Effexor before. I've never had withdrawl from ADs, and I have always been a bad girl and just stopped them.

Sadly, since I'm only doing 1 class per semester, my freedom does not kick in until June- 1 fall class, 1 spring class, and the first summer session class.
I'll be able to walk with the regular commencement in the spring though! It just seems so far away.

It'll be here before you know it, Nora. I'm taking a summer school class right now (AINotFG) and 2 classes in the fall (one for fun - Young Adult Lit!!!). Doing my portfolio presentation in the fall.

The conversation in the thread the last 24-hours or so has reminded me that I really want to write a book that is essentially, "The Girlfriend's Guide to Anti-Depressants."

For those who are considering taking ADs while pregnant, if you decide to do so, you should call the company and offer to be part of a study. They would really love to know how the drug affects pregnant women, and they would probably give you your drugs for free. Also, possibly some free medical care/checkups.
