Catching up on old posts since I haven't been on the computttteee much!!
Jack is doing well and started back at his part-time job last week. He will have his first PSA since his surgery the 16th.
I was busy with my granddaughter last week. She stayed wth us for a week, so we were doing crafts, playing outside, going to fireworks an then camping... Great time!
I am dealing with the big D since my doctor put me on the anti-depressant Paxil!! Started Friday and what a pain in my arse it is!!!
Is there anybody here that is on a anti-depressant that is known NOT to cause us to have the D???????? Sad thing is, the Paxil made me feel great, but I had to stop it...
Barb, I hope you can get to feeling better. You've sure been thru it with your thyroid problem and meds.
Oma & Wayne. Has that rain stopped for now??? I couldn't believe the amounts that some areas received.
JJ, if I missed, have you been notified abut a job??
Mars, how was your visit with your daughter, her new hubby, and your grandson?????
I don't mean to not include others. Just have to read previous posts to catch up!!
Love To All~~~~

Dee,
Glad you're back. We missed you. I was afraid something bad had happened, and I was afraid to ask.
The rains have pretty much stopped here, (at least they're down to widely scattered showers, now). Hopefully, the reservoirs and rivers will have time to get back to more normal levels before any other significant rains occur. I think we're out of the woods, anyway.
Love,
Wayne

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Our weather here in Ohio has been extremely dry! All of our yards look like it's September. Very dried out! Hurting crops also! We are really below the norm as far as rainfall.
I can remember commenting last year how green everything was here In August.
We need a nice steady rain for a few days.
Love

Hi There Barb!!!!
I'll tell ya, that Paxil was like a miracle pill for me!!! It was the best that I have felt in years!
Now, I have no idea what can be prescribed .
People that have never suffered with an anxiety disorder or depression have no idea what your life is like!
I have an appt. this Thursday with my doctor, so I'll see if there is another option.
Love

Dee,
Paxil, (as I'm sure you know), is an SSRI, and as a group, the SSRIs generally have less risk of major problems, (such as overdose risks), but, of course, all the antidepressants are fraught with peril, and loaded with side effects. If I am not mistaken, only the SSRIs list D as a side effect.
The TCAs and MAOIs don't list D, but have more, (and often more serious), side effects. You might want to discuss Bupropion, (Wellbutrin) with your doctor, since it seems to show fewer side effects than the TCAs and MAOIs, other than the risk of seizure, associated with high doses, (for which it was pulled from the market for a while).
Here's an article where most of this is discussed:
http://www.clinical-depression.co.uk/Tr ... ffects.htm
I hope it starts raining there pretty soon. Our annual rainfall is listed at 35 inches. So far this year, we've had just a fraction over 38 inches, (and we've still got half a year to go).
Love,
Tex

Dee, I have taken both Effexor (a seratonin and norephenephrine reuptake inhibitor) and Lexapro (currently on). Neither caused me problems. I don't feel as well on my current dose of Lexapro as I did on the Effexor, but will talk to the doc about that when I see them in August. I either feel great or I feel like crap. But I also think recently that could be from not being careful enough with avoiding hidden gluten. So many variables...
Good luck.
Katy

Hi Dee....I have been taking 1/2 of Buspar pill 2 x day. Had no D with it. I am suppose to be talikng a whole pill twice a day, but cannot toerate it....makes me real dizzy. I stopped crying all the time and actually feel better...not quite so depressed. Love Oma
May I be more compassionate and loving than yeterday*and be able to spot the idiots in advance
Thanks for your replies on the anti-depressants!
I just hope I'm not back to square one with the MC...
I've been dealing with the watery D since Friday.
Upped my Entocort to 2 this morning in hopes to quell whatever the Paxil has caused..
I usually research new meds and didn't before starting the Paxil.
DARN!!!!!!!
Love
