>Last time I was in Finland was 30 years ago when I was a kid. I think it would be fun to go back as an adult but there is the language thing. Nice country as I recall.
And yes my Mom is Finnish as was her Mom. Her maiden name was Ukkonnen. (sp?)
The Seroquel helps a lot thanks for asking. Actually I was just recently diagnosed as bipolar after about 20 years of messing around with various SSRI's and TCA's. When I took the Seroquel it was almost instantly like "ahhhhhhhh".
I might even have to cut back or eliminate the prozac. We'll see.
