Zoloft and lorazepam

what you need is Zoloft, and a psychiatrist. None of these new age feminazis, but a REAL one with insight into the workings of the criminal mind.

Kat needs some medication or something to chill the hell out, like Zoloft so she's not in her own head some damm much and doesn't crash so far down..

Bipolar disorder is one beast where what some may consider 'selfishness' or 'laziness' is anything but. You keep on doing whatever you have to, James, for your health and for your family. I'm sure I've said it before and I'll say it again, your fans aren't going anywhere. Sorry about the power hit to your open docs. I hate that. Ditto for the meds.
After trouble with Geodon, and being prescribed Zoloft solo, my wife is currently extremely stable on Zoloft as the anti-depressant and Lamictal as the stabilizer after tweaking the dosages and sticking with Pfizer's brand rather than generic for the Zoloft. Not perfect, energy draining side-effects, but very, very stable. From outside you *may* see 'moody' or 'a bit odd' but not 'nuts'. She's held a highly technical office job for 11 years and been with me for 10, the first four years were untreated and she self-contained in public but let loose in private. Lithium would be fantastic if not for the necessary periodic blood tests because, as luck would have it -- needles trip her trigger for a panic attack which sends her into a bipolar (II) episode.
Take care, James. For every one of us who comments, there's a legion of lurkers thinking similar thoughts. You're held in the highest esteem.

Okay, I'm depressed after reading about depression. Just kidding.
Most people still do not seek help until it is too late.
I had a boss once who was on medication Zoloft, and then took himself off without consulting his doctor. Well, a few days later he shot and killed two of his partners in my office. Luckily, I was not there. True story.
He was the nicest guy, too. You just never know.
Good job on the story.
