My doctor started me on fluoxetine 10 mg a day x2 weeks, then increase to 20 mg daily.   (For insomnia and mild depression due to menopause.) 

Just wondering if anyone has been on this drug, if it worked and how long before you saw results?   I know drugs vary greatly from person to person, but I just want to know what people's experience has been.  I take very drugs, but my sleep pattern has been horrible and I am willing to try anything.  TIA

Can a person be walking around with a PE and not know it?  Would they be able to cough it up?  I know that sounds strange, but I have a rattling in my chest that I can't expectorate.  Sorry to be so graphic. 

Thank you, anyone, for answering.

Just recently got out of the hospital with PE but need to go back to work right away.  On the usual meds that come with this condition and feeling lightheaded.  Anyone here been through same thing and how soon did you return to work as an MT?  I would prefer you e-mail me privately.  If this is too personal for you.  I understand.  I tend to be more candid than most.  Also would prefer to talk to someone who has been through it.

Thank you so much.

Don't worry about it.  A drink (in moderation) every now and then, in my opinion, is better than being hooked on Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, etc.   I know several women who do not drink, never drank but can not do without their "happy pill".  I have a glass of wine or beer after a hard day while cooking dinner which probably happens less than once a month.

I recently had an awakening about the witch hunt currently going on for one "convicted sexual predator."  Predator first offense:  18 y.o. dating 15 y.o. Dad of 15 y.o. angry and had 18 y.o. arrested.  My grandmother was 16 when she married my grandfather who was 19.  I guess he should have been arrested too.

Second offense:  21 y.o. made copy of nude on internet.  Copy found by off-duty policeman who reported find.  Predator arrested, mother's computer confiscated, 100 y.o. public defender appointed.  Predator had to prove person posing for picture was over 18.  How could anyone do that if they do not even know name of person appearing in picture.  Predator convicted and on probation.  Cannot be anywhere with any children.  No Christmas get togethers with family, no church, must leave restaurant or other public place if children come in, MUST be registered and can be locked up if too close to daycare, school bus stop, etc. and must go ???somewhere if children present in Dr. waiting room etc.  Neighbors informed of sexual predator in midst and regularly egg car and persecute in other ways.  I wish they would round up every photographer and reader who ever looked at girl's breast in magazine and could not prove girl of age.  (National Geographic for instance.)  I find sexual predators abhorrent but think we have gone too far.  Am I the only one who sees the backlash from fear? 

To do business at this rate, the hospital would have to be contracting the jobs themselve.  Most hospitals I am aware of, go through a service, which has overhead.  So to that 7 cents you have to add pay for management, building, utilites and all the other costs of doing business.  The services I work for charge anywhere from 11 to 13 cpl, so it really isn't any cheaper to go through a service or have your own accts from the hospital point of view.

In my opinion, it would be better to wait for something that pays a little more.  At 6 cpl you are going to work your butt off.  I mean, if you think about it that's what the people in India are getting paid, either 5.5 cpl or 6 cpl.  I think American MTs are worth more, much more, but that's just my opinion.  If your current job is not too, too bad where you can't wait it out, I would say look around and give it a little more time.  Gook luck!!
