...unless your physician is aware that you're using it in addition to your Rx meds. (Other things, like 5-HTP, if I'm not mistaken) can have similar potentially dangerous side effects in combination with Rx antidepressants. Just sayin' ....

St. John's wort
Does anyone take this and if so, has it worked? I hate taking prescription antidepressants (made me way too tired, etc.) so was wondering if this helps.
i use ALOT of st. john's wort. sm
take 1 once a day every day. after ovulation, take 2 a day. as i get closer to my period i will take 2 in the morning and 2 at night. when i am going to snap, i will take up to 10 a day. my sister tried it too and loves it. hope you find something. i have even considered depression meds, but don't like the side effects. let us know if you find something awesome. good luck.
SAMe and St. John's Wort do that. It takes weeks to

Some people are just not aware how dangerous
it is. I tried to talk with my sister-in-law about her husband (the half-brother of my husband). She has worked in the medical field. I was so sorry my words not heeded. I have been around him, seen him falling asleep just sitting down, the wreck, even out of town with my husband 1 night my DH told me about his horrible snoring, he is overweight but diabetic too and does not pay much attention to that. You cannot help where they don’t want it.
We never go anywhere either. too dangerous!
my sympathies about your hubby :(
Yes, very dangerous...sm
I haven't even thought about getting her a helmet yet because she's only 9 months old. I didn't realize I would have to worry about her being on anything this dangerous already! It's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. My brother-in-law has a 15-month-old who he takes on the riding lawnmower with him while he's mowing the lawn, and they don't understand why I need to have someone watch my daughter while I'm mowing the lawn! I know they think I'm overprotective, but that's ok I guess.
oh how I know - they are the most dangerous gang
most dangerous gang here in America - the world has become a very dangerous place....all some of us wanted was peace and love an all we got was guns, terrorism, gangs, death, and more destruction!
makes me VERY ILL..........
Oh Yea I SURE HAVE!! Equally as DANGEROUS!!
Why trampolines are dangerous ...
New hazard of trampolines discovered in Wisconsin.
And I don’t think it is dangerous just to travel, sm
If I had waited for a Starbuck I might never had a trip before. Believe it or not, never remember seeing 1 anywhere I traveled. Your response is strange.
Speaking of dangerous LIARS
Have you made note of the people running OUR country into the ground - while killing with abandon in Iraq, etc., ad nauseam?
Banging his head could be dangerous...
My son did that a couple of times when he was about 3, and I was telling a guy at work about it. He said his girlfriend's son did that all the time and actually got brain damage from it, which really freaked me out. The next time he did it I just got down on my knees right in his face and told him verrrry seriously that he could really hurt himself doing that and let him know it was unacceptable. He must have sensed something in my tone, because he's never done it since!
It sounds like he just needs to figure out a better way to manage his anger. Maybe buy a book about how to help kids deal with outbursts or get him a couple of counseling sessions? Does he ever express what is making him so mad verbally to you so that he can vent? It sounds like he may just need to get it all out, and instead of doing it in a healthy way he hurts himself, so maybe that anger could just be redirected.
Maybe you could also explain to him that everybody learns new stuff. Tell him if he doesn't let people teach him he will only be as smart as a 5-year-old his whole life! Tell him he's smart for a 5-year-old but no one is going to want to hire someone with a kindergarten education! I don't know if he will understand those exact words, but just try to get the point across to him that even adults learn new things every day and that's what makes us smarter. Tell him to at least watch the way you do it and consider doing it your way. Maybe if he knows he has a choice to do it your way or his way he will feel better. Kids want choices too, I guess. I don't know for sure, so like I said - I would try to find a book on the subject too or something. Good luck! Before I had kids I had no idea how smart and sly you have to be to constantly figure them out!
I think it is a dangerous thing to do for several reasons.
First, it shows the employer that the employee is not responsible with their finances. Creates a feeling of always desperate and can never get enough.
Secondly, how can one ever possibly try to hold to a budget with constant borrowing from the future? You can never, ever borrow your way out of debt.
Sad.
facebook dangerous in my mind sm
Friends invite friends who invite "friends only" until there are people from all over on what is supposed to be my "family space" according to one family member. Never place a full-face picture on there as they can lift it and put it on a phony license, etc. My son had his identity stolen, had to take time out of work, travel to the city where the crime was originated and go to court. My son is Caucasian, the other person was not, it was horrific! I also do not like other family members posting pics of me and my family on there at every family function under their "family and stuff" albums. I am so sick and tired of preaching - nobody listens, they love the attention, they post every move they are making during the day which to me is sooo ridiculous! I feel the same about Twitter and My Space. I vote hands down.
Be aware
there are companies preying on job seekers. I have received several spam emails, they look legit, but they want a one time payment fee accompanied by an application, resume, etc. Google them, then block and delete them from your email account.
not that I am aware of. --sm
I do believe that amazon has it though. or just type in TheSecret.com and it could take you to their website.
and be aware anyone with one of those--sm
Smart Alarmclocks, like me, that the smart clocks are not smart enough to know that the govt had to make yet another d*u*m*b move and change things (and the reason is???)and will not change to daylight savings time on the new date. now these Smart Alarmclocks will change to daylight savings time on the ORIGINAL date and change back on the ORIGINAL date, so we paid extra for something that is totally useless now....I want my money back or change the time back! which I thought was a useless idea in the first place!
had my daily vent. sorry. keep smiling. ks
do be aware though...
After my tubal, OMG...my periods were horrible. Never had a problem before the tubal, but after...I got severely iron deficient, absolutely no ferritin whatsoever, and had to have IV iron therapy to get back on track, not a fun experience. Just be aware that this can happen, maybe speak to your doctor about it before you decide to go ahead with the tubal. Good luck with whatever you choose!
just be aware that--sm
what the temporary denture looks like in hand is nothing like what it looks like in your mouth. You just cannot tell by looking at it how it is going to look on you, or how it will feel. good luck. I hope you are more happy with your outcome than I was/am. :^)
I am very aware
of what you're saying, but at this point, I'll do anything to get my daughter away from this loser. My son did not actually see the records per se, but he is privy to information regarding inmates at the jail. And no, I do not expect my daughter to not have sex again, but if I can help it, it WILL NOT be with this joker. Why am I being made out to be the bad guy here? I'm protecting MY child...she's still a child, only 17, and still living under our roof, with us supporting her. So yes ma'am, I have every right to do whatever it takes to protect her from her own bad judgement.
I'm aware of that
As I noted in the previous post, I did say that the love I felt was for the man he isn't now. There also is a degree of romantic idealism at work here. Hard though it may be to believe, when I was a little slip of a lass, when I dreamed of my future spouse, it was of a dark-haired blue-eyed cowboy, living in the middle of nowhere, with a bunch of horses, and in R, I found that. The first time I laid eyes on him, my heart stopped, and even after being together about 2 years, even after all that had happened, that was still the case.
However, him serving time in jail at this point will, in essence, save me from myself. When his drinking would escalate to where I couldn't cope at all, I have run home and stayed there, shed my tears, etc. He would always contact me, begging me to "come home", saying he understood things needed to change, etc. I'm thinking that after I've sent him to jail, he's not going to be asking me back, and in a year, no matter how much I love him, I will have moved on in my life. To steal a cliche, I'm not one of those people where absence makes the heart grow fonder. I'm not exactly out of site, out of mind, but to maintain the psychological hold that he has, whether it's love or whatever, requires more ongoing attention that he is going to be able to provide from a prison 600 miles away without phone calls (I don't have a landline he can make a collect call to) or even email (I don't think they get those in prison, do they?).
Borax washing powder is not dangerous.....
Borax sold in the supermarkets for laundry washing and other uses is not poisonous to the public. However, REAL boric acid is......just be careful with it.......that's all.....regarding pets and people.......
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is dangerous, not aspirin
Patti is right - aspirin can safely be given to dogs. It's Tylenol (acetaminophen) that is dangerous to give to dogs, and I believe also to cats. (Anyone with doubts, please call the nearest veterinarian, but I know several vets have told me so, I've had probably 20 dogs in my life, and though I love cats, I'm allergic to them  ) The animal livers can't handle Tylenol like human livers (and it's also very dangerous to our livers in overdoses) Chocolate is also bad for dogs, by the way.
the best plan is lifestyle change, not some dangerous
like the previous poster said, the weight will come back when you stop. I have kept a food diary and counted calories and now am down to 108 lbs. Creating a calorie deficit is the only safe way to lose weight.
Severe warning about dangerous dog-toys!!
I came across this blog today on Craigslist: http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/
And if you have a dog, it's a must-see. It details what happened to a dog that was severely injured by a dog toy called a "Pimple Ball" made by Four Paws, Inc. The dog ended up losing his tongue, and the pain he had to endure was excruciating.
The dog's owner relates that the Four Paws Co. hasn't owned up to the fact that its toy is dangerous, and he's calling for a international boycott of Four Paws, Inc. After watching his video links of his poor dog's suffering, even though I have cats, I plan to be sure I don't purchase ANYTHING from this company, andhopefully you won't either.
Well aware, still a shock
when you see it laid out in black and white,and it becomes a reality.
I'm well aware of the statistics but
that's all they are. You cannot make factual claims based on statistics. I personally know of people with both pancreatic and ovarian cancer. While the survival rates are grim, there are survivors. Furthermore, the claim stated that he had 5 weeks to live. Since when does a doctor stick an expiration tag on someone like that? I've worked for several oncologists and not one patient was ever given an expiration date as exact as that.
Treatments do work and can shrink the size of someone's cancer, thereby increasing their survival rate and prolonging their life. Your chance of survival is also based on many factors: lifestyle, hereditary factors, early detection, methods of prevention, etc. While many may eventually succumb to the disease, still some do survive. I would never spread spread rumors with my source being a gossip column. What does the name tell you?
Just saw a report on news where they listed it as a dangerous drug
apparently caused something that looked like malignant polyps in the colon but other than that, people told not to take it on a first date, not good idea and you should maybe, starting to take for first time, wear dark pants. I guess that is so the orange diarrhea won't show through so much.
The difference is...the doctor is working in dangerous territory (sm)
on a person who needs help. The people are having surgery or in the hospital because they need help. The accidental gun deaths are completely unnecessary.
Cell phones - How dangerous is their long-term use?
Hoax or not, the long-term safety of cell phones is still very much in question! They are not innocuous, and emit harmful electromagnetic radiation in varying amounts. Just as policemen's radar guns laid in their laps have caused testicular cancer, so the incidence of brain tumors from cell phone usage has also been on the rise.
That very thing happened to my stepdad, a brain tumor & aneurysm right above his right ear, where he holds his cordless phone constantly. Cell phone signals decrease fertility of humans & animals alike, & Swedish researchers have proven that they are ESPECIALLY damaging to the brains of children! Cell phone-using kids are FIVE times more likely to get brain cancer. I gave mine up over 5 years ago & will never use another one on a routine basis. This issue is being covered up, but is certain to become the controversy of the 21st century, just as tobacco was in the 20th century.
I'm well aware of such business ventures.
It is one thing to have legal international business ventures and quite another for our financial institutions to be actively pursuing illegal aliens in this country and offering them financial sanctuary.
Go douse yourself with some of that flea repellent, lol.
sorry...just ask. They're much more aware of music than you think! :) nm

I was not aware this was a test question. SM
I answered honestly. I am sorry it was not to your liking. If you want me to agree with you, okay, your ex is nuts and call the police on him. Whatever.
Just remember one thing, troubled people tend to gravatate toward each other in life. Think about it.
I would say go for it. Just be aware of surroundings and people, but
xx
Being aware of it doesn't mean they would excuse it...SM
Especially with the bee in the bonnet that was obvious based on the follow-up post by OP. There ARE teachers and administrators who go on power trips.
I'm not aware of any standards at public places
And to add to your point about Mexicans, all their dirty business is NOT only under their fingernails. Have you not heard of the gangs they have all over this country...something 13 or another they call themselves. They are viscious, ruthless people, and are going into areas where they think the local law officials won't be on to them. They try to intimidate and scare communities into silence so they can get their garbage drug trade and smuggling stuff going in silence. Our prisons are so full of illegals, they can't hold the legals, but of course, lets not gather them up and deport them back to their wonderful country...lets house and feed them, give their kids a free education better than they're getting there, free healthcare, the list goes on and on. Now, our president wants to make sure they can get SS benefits....for WHAT? In our community, you can go into Wal-Mart late in the evening and our stores are full of young Mexicans, mother, father, and always a baby, maybe 2 or 3, but where do you suppose they were born? The parents can't or won't speak English (since they want to be a loyal US citizen). My daughter teaches a school where the kids abound and their parents are most likely illegal, but until we stop this practice of giving citizenship to an illegal born in this country, this will never change. I'm with Ron Paul on this one....we can't keep a sovereign nation when we allow an invasion of our country. We can't absorb these people into our communities without major negative consequences.
your being heard made her aware of her rudenss

my point is I would like people to be aware that it is common (sm)
so there is not such a stigma about it. I don't think it is as big a deal as people make of it.
Were you at all aware of the 60s and 70s? That's exactly what the bulk of rock stars WERE doing!
fffff
that's not my intention. I just wanted to make him aware s/m
of how he was hurting my son's feelings. I do see your point, though. Hubby has never been violent...I will NOT tolerate that. He is just gets frustrated very easily and yells.
they are aware of it, not a virus, they fixed it once and are working on it NM

Klonopin is a wonderful drug but a benzodiazepam. Be aware of withdrawal.
I was placed on Klonopin during a stressful year when sleep was elusive, leaving me dragging all day.
It worked amazingly. But, there came a time I had to get off of it. I thought I could just stop taking it. Not so. The drug leaving my system placed me in a state that was far worse than the anxiety I took it for. For three months, I had ringing in my ears, was in an agitated state that I likened to listening to fingernails being scraped across a chaulkboard and then having that sound magnified a thousand times.
I watched a show that featured drug addicts in a methadone clinic and one person interviewed said that the worst drug to get off of was "bennies." Worse than heroin and methadone, and I believe him. I also came to realize there are many people hooked on these powerful drugs simply because the withdrawal is so very unpleasant to go through.
I suggest taking it periodically, never more than two weeks in a row. I only wish my doctor would have said that I would become physically addicted to it to the point that medical supervision would be required to stop taking it. Instead, they appeared to think I had developed "drug-seeking behavior" because of my anxious calls to the office when I was experiencing the symptoms.
John Bon Jovi
See now I think he's really hot now. LOL. I remember reading that his wife was his high school sweetheart. I agree with you there though...I dont think that great either.
Oh, and Richard Gere's father was my insurance agent. He doesn't live far from my house.
John Lennon
Well, you didn't specify if they had to be alive or not, so I'm gonna fantasize for a moment here. If he did knock on my door the first order of business would be to wet myself. Then I'd b*tch slap him for the whole Yoko thing. Then I'd smack him again for getting himself killed strictly because he went the Yoko route and went all retarded on us. Then I'd shut the door, turn around, walk to the phone and call the crisis hotline because someone had obviously tainted my Crystal Light with Crystal Meth.
John Adams - HBO
Is anyone watching the John Adams series on HBO and if so what do you think? I thinks its by far one of the best shows I have ever seen. We saw the first three shows during the HBO free preview weekend and ordered HBO just so we could continue watching.
Throughout my school days I detested history. Found it to be quite dull. All I remember was having to memorize dates but don't remember a thing about learning about the people or times (although I'm sure I must have). Now I can't get enough history and search every site I can think of to learn what I almost failed in school.
Just wonder what your thoughts are about the show.
Where is John's head? (sm)
It's in his crotch.
I just saw John and his family on the
Today show. What a wonderful man with such a beautiful family. The picture of little Adam in the baseball cap holding the bat is just precious. So much good has been done in Adam's name. They are amazing people.
John Travolta is gay????
This is the first I'm hearing this. Is this true or just speculation?
John Stamos!!! nm

Saw John Edwards in Las Vegas
not that thrilled, no time for most of the audience, accepted very few questions from very few folks so would have felt better if more able to participate than say 4 or 5 for the total time.
