I totally agree--having known people who were on Topamax before I took it, and knowing it was called "Dopamax" made me wary--but didn't stop me from taking it. And made me feel better about having some but not all the side effects--I mean, reading the side effect profile tells me I could have practically ANYTHING. Knowing real people who say "Yes, I lost words"...
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

[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.

Oh my gosh. I don't know what I would do without the support and recommendations I get from Buffistas!
It's such a great place to begin, or enrich, a discernment process about pretty much anything. That is true precisely because I trust the intelligence and good intentions of everyone who responds to a query.
In fact, I've seen more "YMMVs" here than anywhere else, ever. That is terrifically reassuring.

Very much this. My previous doctor always told me not to worry about new meds, and I read all the info that came with the drugs I would probably make myself a wreck. It's good to just get a general sense from people who have btdt.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
That is true precisely because I trust the intelligence and good intentions of everyone who responds to a query.
This is a very good point. People here have good sense and are lovely. It's a wonderful combination.

Hells to the yeah. I'm glad it worked for tommy, but what a clusterfuck for my life.
Man, that stuff was NASTY for me. NASTY.
I cannot fully articulate the extent of its nasty.
Heh. Have any female takers had any luck with it? Because the few people I know who it worked for were all dudes.

Somebody please tell that I didn't forget to turn off and unplug the blow heater when I left the office today, and that I only think about it because of that infomercial in the radio. Thank you.

You're good, Shir.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Trazadone made me a zombie, literally staggering around like the shuffling undead. Just....stupid and slow and TIRED.
Yet it didn't PUT ME ASLEEP. I still had insomnia, but I also had a sedative drug in my system. It was awful. Horrible.
Happily, ION I just had leftover roasted cauliflower from last night and it was so YUM. And I have a pot roast in the crock pot and may make a cobbler. Plus, I have rocked out on my article today. SNOW DAY WIN.
Also, it's still snowing here. I am (ever so) gently starting to entertain the possibility that there might...also be a snow day tomorrow. Maybe.
(Don't jinx it!)

Thanks, P-C.
And hey, btw, did you ever get to read that book I sent you?
