How long has she been taking it, Bonny? It takes a couple of weeks to really kick in.
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

She really hasn't given it enough time. That's true. My concern is whether or not the higher dosage is undermining her in any way.
I gave her a bunch of CBT stuff to do, which might help her to be more patient with the prescribed dosage.

Steph, if you are around, my friend was prescribed 20mg per day and took 40mg for 5 days and then 20mg for 3, but has been taking 60mg for the last 2 days because it didn't seem to be managing the anxiety.
Not Steph... but self-dosage is generally not a good idea. Especially right at the start of an anti-d regimen.

Thanks, Erin! We were cheese eating surrender monkeys last night having fondue at Melt.

With people who are fondue -- fond Du U?!
Oh, god, keep me from the keyboard before I've had a full cup...
bonny, remind her -- I had to have this pounded in my head the hard way --- that anti-D's are like BP meds -- there's not usually going to be an instantaneous effect.
Which, I know, is hella frustrating when you're still feeling depresso or anxious. If her anxiety is really bad, can she talk to her doc about a tiny PRN Rx for anti-anxieties?
Sometimes just KNOWING I have a few Xanax helps me manage any bad anxiety feelings from edging into an attack.
And, huh....I haven't even had the WHISPER of an anxiety attack in the last month. Just realized. I've been anxious, I've been nervy, but good levels of anxiety and nerves.

With all the cheese puns available to you that's where you're going to go?
I expect cheddar from you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hec, you don't know Jack about cheese puns.

You know those stick figure decals on the back of cars. I was just driving behind a minivan with skull decals for the family. The mother one with a tiara and the daughter with a pink bow. But the best part was the license plate which was "cupcke".

sj, that is awesome!
Trudy, I meant to say earlier, I'm sorry to hear about your pup. It's so, so hard, and I am firmly in denial about my cats' age. As for Frankie, well, he just has to live forever. Not an option.
