Thanks Ed *hugs*
Yea I was quite shocked he wanted to put me on a phenothiazine, especially with what they do to your heart and me being on a high dose of clomipramine. He is talking about going upto 400mg max. Its really scaring me now.
And again HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you legal drinking age in the UK or is it like it is here in Aus, which is 18.
Take care and lots of love
Chris
