Cap when I was on brand name Celexa, I only needed 10 mg. Then the generic came out and I got switched to that. I was put on 20 mg. Another Dr. at the clinic asked how I was doing.
I thought I was doing great. Well he decided I should be doing GREATER and upped the dose to 40 mg.

Then HE departed suddenly for NM. I wonder if h was a "real" doctor. Anyway have been weaning myself off and down to 10 mg. with a new doctor's assistance and he has me off of them completely in another week.

I hope you will do well without it.

Micro how is little Varn doing? I know he is quite a character.

I told him the other day that if he didn't behave himself I was going to seal him up in a box, punch some holes in it, toss in a few dog biscuits and ship him to you.....but you wouldn't keep him long.

In all seriousness, he is doing great. Still has more attitude than he needs and loves to jump up and do the 'cattle dog nip' if he doesn't get his own way. He and I had a little 'discussion' about that yesterday after he jumped up and grabbed a hold of my upper arm and left tooth mark bruises. Today he was the perfect little gentleman, rolling over on his back for belly 'skritches' and just being a clown.

They are all doing great though and we have finally started seeing signs of 'maturity' in them. Instead of trying to destroy the house, they come in, play with us for a while and then find a spot to stretch out and nap.

But Varn and Diesel are both too darn smart for their own good. I'll be glad when we get the back yard properly fenced in for them hopefully next month.

There is a big difference between parents getting their kids on 'behavior control' medication and people who are suffering from clinical depression and other forms of depression. The first need a wack on their backsides and sent to their rooms WITHOUT their cell phones, tvs and gameboys. The latter need medication to help balance out the chemical imbalances in their brains that is causing the problems for them. Chemical depression is a legitimate medical condition. Throwing a temper tantrum because mommy and daddy won't buy them the latest IPhone is a completely different kettle of fish.

Trust me I will not get on my soapbox on this one .. I am the one that had no children herself I knew it would not be a benefit.. The rest I will never repeat in public

Sometimes the more you give them, they worse they are.

Ooo had a dog do that to me once, snuck up behind me, fcker!

Chemical depression is a legitimate medical condition.

Chemical or Clinical?
Clinical is chronic(long lasting rather than acute which is shorter lived following a trauma).

 

[microchick]

If I'm remembering it right, clinical depression is caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain and is a chronic condition.

At least that is what I remember being taught in nurses training. Maybe the definitions have changed down through the years but I see what you are saying and yes, depression can happen after anything traumatic and be short termed not to be confused with the long term type.
