Hi, Farfromhome;
I went to Amherst schools for 2 years - marvelous area, so different (much more $$) then ours in Kenmore!
Funny you mention the financial thing; actually, my doctor has given me samples since the beginning (that nasty singlemom/deadbeatdad/livinghandtomouth thing)...in spite of my appreciation, I really hated calling for more when I ran out. The real financial problems came when he tried to get me on something else; recognizing that the Lexapro was no longer working out, he sold me on another med (can't remember it now) - how it should be perfect for me. Then we found that my insurance wouldn't pay for that Rx; he didn't receive enough samples of it, I certainly couldn't afford it...I felt as if staying on the Lexapro was a sad consolation price....not the right reason to take such a chemical, in my mind.
(Brianna, I just now phoned my doctor to inquire about my safety in going off cold turkey...
I'm a good girl!)
Still....I do want to know the answers to my initial Q's, if anyone can....I'm fascinated by these 'brain jolts'!
Have a great day, all! (bzzzzzp!)
Barbara
