> Wellbutrin ... Remeron and ... Prozac....
What you might try, for some generally sound information on these drugs and their side effects written for consumers, is to go several different drug stores that are part of national chains. The three big chains I've used here in NYC -- Duane Reade, Rite Aid, and Walgreens -- all print out patient information sheets for any prescription you receive. Tell the pharmacist what information you're looking for -- I'd bet they wouldn't have any problems giving it to you. Although these sheets are often based on information from the manufacturers, I imagine that different chains might have slightly different sheets ... so you may get more info by visiting several of them.
I second what Jamie said about providing a shoulder and I think it's great that you're doing this for your sister-in-law. You may not be in any position to provide support to her granddaughter, but you can pass it on through yor in-law and be supportive for her. Starting meds can be a really strange, disconcerting process ... or it can be like a long-needed fresh breeze (the former was me, the latter was my #$*&@! brother ;^).
Best of luck to you all,
Bob
