Hey, does Lexapro help you lose weight? I take Cymbalta which I like but I think it makes me drink more. Anybody else? I order my drugs through the mail & takes forever. Just had to pay $18 for rush. Ins. co. will reimburse for emergencies, but it is a pain. [ Reply | More

ouch. borrow from a friend / family member? Beg for one pill at your local pharmacy (discreetly of course) That actually worked for me once. SSRI's arn't considered "dangerous drugs" and if your pharmacist knows you regularly prescribe, s/he may give you a pill to get through the day. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Girls are so much more mature than boys - my 6 yo ds got a phonecall from one of his classmates, a girl who's 6 1/2 yo. She left the most mature-sounding message ... "Hi guys, this is 'Jane' - I'm wondering if 'Jack' & I can play this Tuesday. Ok, well, give me a call back." She was articulate and fluid. My ds left an articulate message back for her but he didn't sound 1/2 as mature or fluid as she did. Granted, she *is* 7 months older than him but still ...
