Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sorry. I got big time distracted.

Good on you Tommy. That was a brave and good thing to do.

So my doc is taking me off Generic Zoloft and putting me on Celexa. She is my GP, not a psychiatrist She said just stop taking Z and start with half a C for 6 days, then go to a whole. Does that sound right? Steph?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

How much Z are you currently on? Cold turkey off an AD is not generally a good idea...

(which made me realize that I've got a headache b/c I accidentally skipped *my* dose of generic Zoloft today. whoops.)

yeah, but if msbelle's going straight from one AD to another, that's not cold turkeying; they're both SSRI's, right?

NOT A DOCTORB!

Because books.

Maybe it's okay if you're starting something else right away, though? But I agree with smonster -- it's a little odd not to taper off. What's the dose of Celexa, if you don't mind me asking? Because half depends on what the whole is.

I had brain zaps for a while when I went cold turkey off of Z, which I think is fairly common, but Celexa is an SSRI, too, right? Maybe that's why no tapering? Plus dosage might work differently. (ETA: I'm all x-posty)

No idea why I'm talking since I don't really know.

ION, I need to pack! But not tonight.

100 mg of Z, and 40 mg of C, so half dose is 20.


Amy - Nov 17, 2011 6:13:29 pm PST #7374 of 30001
Because books.

Okay, the half dose is what I started on. I don't know how it relates to the Zoloft, but doing that for a week should be fine if you stop the other.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Some ADs you don't need to taper off. Ion, just had dinner. Now i have a vodka tonic.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I got a letter from the IRS saying "we were wrong, you are right, you don't owe us any money". YAYAY!!!

And apparently KCD got a letter from the IRS today saying "you owe us a crap ton of money". Both letters were for the same tax year so I guess they looked at his after I sent in my documentation. I'll probably be nice and review the letter and his taxes for him. I think I even prepared his taxes for him that year. Don't remember.
