Yes. I think you're right. I met someone out here that I put a lot of trust into and broke down on her and it turned out it was a baaaad idea... She has a crazy ex and it triggered stuff in her and I felt super bad about it. We're still friends, which is good, and she's as supportive as she can be, but sometimes she'll say things like "why do you always make things so complicated for yourself?" etc. etc. that don't really help.

Yeah. Ugh, ugh, ugh. Don't know if it was the right choice of pill for me in the first place anyway. Siigh.
> I hate to say to sit tight until December, but unfortunately I can't advise you to do certain things with certain pharmacies that Dr. Bob doesn't like. There are alternative treatments like Kava but they should never be taken more than like once or twice a week, it is bad on the liver.
>Unfortunately, I can't take anything that would be hard on the liver, as I've got a medical condition that has me taking meds that can damage the liver as well. Don't want to risk it! I have to get liver screens every 3 months--ick.
I did, however, call my MD back home. She recommends Celexa and has phoned me in a scrip. Unfortunately, I can't take it til Friday since I've got a driver's test on Thurs. In the meantime, I took the last of the medication I've been perscribed for flying--Buspar, 10mgs and it's starting to take effect. The clench is gone from my stomach. I can gaze happily at my kitten, asleep in her cat tree. I feel better.
Thanks for your kind words, Jay. They have helped a lot!
Best,
