>Sorry, Sly. I didn't intend to offend you or anyone else. Why ARE you offended, anyway? I'm not offended by your response and I didn't take any more cheap shots at you than you fired off at me! "Me thinketh the fellow protesteth too much!"--

Cheers,
Jannbeau

calm down Jannbeau!

Since none of us are medical Doctor's none of us are in a position to offer recommendations on medication - and I hope Xena would consult her Dr. if she's concerned.

> When I was very depressed I used to waste hours at work researching and responding to every critical statement in an email defending my opinion and point of view, kind of like you here - again, you didn't invent the stuff - but proving someone wrong was a hollow victory, when I got better I finally realised, NOBODY CARES! only I did, and in the process I alienated my co-workers/friends.
