Sean, even though I'm somewhere on the ocean right now, and not in LA, you are missed. LA will be better for having you back. Looking forward to seeing you when I finally get back home myself.

Michigan has a green color that I miss

When I was in Pennsylvania, I would just stand at windows and stare. Green. Everywhere. With no sprinklers. Trees tightly packed and hanging over the roads, and no one planted them.

The people, not so much, but my god, I've missed my hills.

. . . but I'll never live there again, unless I can spend the summer months somewhere with a dry climate. Or 30 degrees cooler.

I miss Michigan every summer. February, not so much. I'm not sure that NC is "home" per se (is it weird to feel a place is a temporary residence for 25 years?), but it's a lovely place to live nonetheless.

My prescription says lorazepam substituted for ativan. Same thing?

I'm trying to decide if I should start the effexor tonight or not. I was looking forward to going to the farmer's market tomorrow. I haven't been for a couple of weeks. But I'm always kind of out of it for the first week or so after starting an AD, and I don't think I will be able to drive. The bottle doesn't mention anything about interactions. Anything I should be worrying about that I don't remember? t /pill phobia

My prescription says lorazepam substituted for ativan. Same thing?

Same thing. They can only sub the same active drug/dose, but always ask if you have any worries about it.

is it weird to feel a place is a temporary residence for 25 years?

Not at all. I've been living in Florida for 21 years and it still doesn't feel like 'home'. I miss California dreadfully and ache to move back.

Drew, I'm missing you and Kristin right now. And I know you won't be there when I get back, but it will be so good to be back tomorrow. I'll be glad to see you both when you return.

Yup. Ativan is the brand name, lorazepam is the generic. Ativan:lorazepam::Tylenol:acetaminophen.

(And I probably totally screwed up the formatting on that.)

What else are you taking? (And if you aren't comfortable posting it publically, you can e-mail me with it; I'm home and parked in front of the laptop for a little while.)

Xanax saved my pah-toot at the SF2F.

Huh. I remember that *I* had a complete psychotic break at the SF2F Prom (and I'm only slightly kidding about that, but it is the biggest factor in my non-attendance at subsequent F2Fs), but you seemed totally fine. Go team Xanax!

You were the one Kristin checked with before giving it to me cause I was on the Lamictal and I was fall.ing. apart in Amyth, Kate P, smonster, and juliana's room.

Okay, *now* I do vaguely remember.

OTOH, Wellbutrin, while pregnant, made me crazy. Like, scary, angry crazy.

Wellbutrin made me angry/violent/agitated/very very horny. Like, I wanted to fuck everyone and then kill them. First part great, second part not so good.

Teppy, insent.

Like, I wanted to fuck everyone and then kill them.

How very Spike of you!
