Ruth A. Lawrence is an authority on this. See if you find what she says about it. She tends to say that most things except the very harshest drugs (chemo, etc.) are OK. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Am weaning off Zoloft and in the past few weeks have developed eczema, something I've never had before. Anyone have similar experience? Was prescribed a steroid by MD, but we both figured it wasn't chronic (steriods shouldn't be used for protracted periods). Thoughts? Will the eczema stick around much longer after I finish weaning? 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

it might not be related to the Zoloft, but could be a seasonal thing. I heard that a lot of people who have never had eczema or hayfever before are getting them this year due to the heavy amount of allergens in the air. [ Reply | More

eh, first try over the counter cortisone. Get the highest strength one they offer (it's really not that high in strength -- my dermatologist told me it doesn't penetrate the skin). If that doesn't help, see a derm. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Why in 2008, is there still such a stigma about mental health issues? Even problems like depression and anxiety are often met with stunned silence or shock. It's really hurtful and I feel like people are judging me w/o really knowing. It's no fun knowing that people are wondering what you *MIGHT DO*. ugh 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I don't walk up to people and say, "Hi, I'm depressed and anxious", but it comes up sometimes w/ acquaintances and when building relationships. For example, I can't tolerate large crowds. Should I always have to make up a reason why I avoid them? [ Reply | More

Because most people don't want to talk about something so personal. They don't know what to say, much like when someone dies. I wouldn't dwell on others' reactions, it seems to get you angry and resentful and nothing good will come of that. [ Reply | More

so much judgment-like there is something you can do about this. it is slowly changing (mental health parity act), but most people think it is just about snapping out of it (whether it is depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc) [ Reply | More

could be the start of teething, could be gas, could be hungry/growth spurt. agree with poster below though, no harm calling your ped if you want. [ Reply | More

first make sure he's not sick (feels feverish? eating pooping peeing normally?). if not sick, is he getting enough to eat? might be growth spurt and he's extra hungry? is anything calming him down at all? does it seem like he's in pain? is he arching his back during feedings? when specifically is he crying? is it only in the late afternoon/evenings? literally all day/all night? what kind of cry is it?

i'd call the ped. could just be normal baby weirdness, or growth spurt, or gas or teething, but if it feels abnormal to you, i'd have him checked just to make sure he's not in pain due to something wrong. [ Reply | More
