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.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.
Yup. Ativan is the brand name, lorazepam is the generic. Ativan:lorazepam::Tylenol:acetaminophen.
(And I probably totally screwed up the formatting on that.)
The bottle doesn't mention anything about interactions. Anything I should be worrying about that I don't remember?
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.

And here I was thinking how very pre-Brad Angelina. But Spike works.

Wellbutrin did nothing for me. Celexa worked really great for straight depression, but didn't hold off anxiety attacks for me. Ativan was fucking miraculous, when I needed it. But, now that I'm on Lamictal, I don't need the Ativan at all. The only thing I need, occasionally, is a good sleep aid and I've got Ambien for that.
As much as I love Wisconsin and the green of summer, I'm sick to death of the winters. I lived 15 years of my life in warmer climes (California, Arizona, Florida, Tennessee and southern Spain), I'm ready to go back to one of them (but not Arizona.) California would be my first choice, Florida my second.

Thrive to spite them
I skipped.
Two days, nearly four hours combined with tech support between Comcast Linksys (sucks ass totally crap) and Belkin and I think I finally finally have a wireless connection that won't crap out.
We'll see.
IF I have to call comcast and wait again I'll scream.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I can't get over how fucking gorgeous Wisconsin is during the summer. Green, cool clear and just awesome to be outside. I think it might totally be worth suffering through the winters (but I've only been through the one, so I may change my mind later).
My side effects with Lexapro have been nearly non existent. I think I take the lowest dose but if I miss one or two days of pills I get ansty and anxious and easily depressed.
