Lexapro and zoloft are

Can someone out there confirm that most antidepressants are dispensed as pills, which are hard to grind to soluble dust?
I grant that the effect is real, as many women on Lexapro have found, but its administration has to be subtle.

what you need is Zoloft, and a psychiatrist. None of these new age feminazis, but a REAL one with insight into the workings of the criminal mind.

Kat needs some medication or something to chill the hell out, like Zoloft so she's not in her own head some damm much and doesn't crash so far down..

Bipolar disorder is one beast where what some may consider 'selfishness' or 'laziness' is anything but. You keep on doing whatever you have to, James, for your health and for your family. I'm sure I've said it before and I'll say it again, your fans aren't going anywhere. Sorry about the power hit to your open docs. I hate that. Ditto for the meds.
After trouble with Geodon, and being prescribed Zoloft solo, my wife is currently extremely stable on Zoloft as the anti-depressant and Lamictal as the stabilizer after tweaking the dosages and sticking with Pfizer's brand rather than generic for the Zoloft. Not perfect, energy draining side-effects, but very, very stable. From outside you *may* see 'moody' or 'a bit odd' but not 'nuts'. She's held a highly technical office job for 11 years and been with me for 10, the first four years were untreated and she self-contained in public but let loose in private. Lithium would be fantastic if not for the necessary periodic blood tests because, as luck would have it -- needles trip her trigger for a panic attack which sends her into a bipolar (II) episode.
Take care, James. For every one of us who comments, there's a legion of lurkers thinking similar thoughts. You're held in the highest esteem.

Okay, I'm depressed after reading about depression. Just kidding.
Most people still do not seek help until it is too late.
I had a boss once who was on medication Zoloft, and then took himself off without consulting his doctor. Well, a few days later he shot and killed two of his partners in my office. Luckily, I was not there. True story.
He was the nicest guy, too. You just never know.
Good job on the story.

So he's going to make the same mistake again, both female love interest are exactly the same. If he takes merilee back not only is he willingly cuckolding himself he's asking to be dumped again. He works and works at a relationship but as soon as someone better comes along he gets ditched. No confident self respecting man such as the protagonist would take that shit 3 times and not be weary. Yes people make mistakes but you ever hear the saying once bitten, twice shy?
You're making duke turn from an intersting strongman to a weak passive one by letting these women seemingly walk all over him. I'm not saying he should crucify merilee but his opinion of women in general has to be at a low point. Yet he doesn't seem like that actually far from it, almost as if he was on zoloft. He should be cursing to the heavens at his luck not wracking his brain over an ex.

As the title says, I'm not a doctor (or a lawyer, counselor, or any other medical type), but I am an engineer. I hadn't noticed the comparision to Ohios' story, but it is valid. I'll buy the BiPolar excuse before the depression. I have inlaws, outlaws, and regular relatives that are bipolar, and each in their own way are very scary. The biggest problem with the bipolar excuse, is that it just doesn't manifest in six months. The infidelity was, I assume (risking all for that word) was a one-time occurence. She knew what she was doing but couldn't (wouldn't) help herself. Very strange circumstances, but I guess the onset of menopause could start triggering symptoms. God knows menopause triggers enough on its own. Things just didn't seem to fit together on the cheating.
Next thing that bothered me, Ju never seemed to profess any desire to have a restored muscle car, that was his dream. Why would he plan to give it to her? Especially as a surprise. It would make more sense to tell her upfront that he wanted to give her a part of his dream, and let her share in the restoration. Then she'd appreciate the car.
Lastly an observation, if I were to see my S.O. performing in a car next to me, I'd loose it too. I don't know if I'd be racing the troopers, but I'd sure be leaving in a hurry! Strange that the wife gets a 'walk' on her infidelity due to mental health issues. The husband gets nailed for loosing it during what could be considered a serious mental health incident. Seems like the constant inequities in civil vs criminal offenses will never change.
Time for me to take my Lexapro again, I'm starting to feel depressed (grin)! Thanks for sharing a very good story!
