And no need to set yourself in concrete. You can make ANY expression you want, if you go easy. Depends how much you use. People used to recently scoff at antidepressents and benzos using similar "pollyanna/Barbie" rebukes, too. Consider "frown" isn't exactly the same as "smile lines". It's also less invasive to inject an easily understood neutralized toxin into specific vertical facial muscles which frown (and the substance stays there) than it is to injest vaguely understood drugs which travel all over your body and BRAIN, affecting thought, mood, and behavior, I figure. At some 300-500$ for 3 months of effect, that's way, way cheaper than EMSAM, any day.

> Phillipa, that is just so bizzare hon. Do you think it could be a pharmacutical con job/push to make more money, I have to admit I smell a rat, and you wouldn't even be able to tell if they felt sad because their faces wouldn't show any signs of emotion, LOL. I call it permantely surprised Jane syndrome, how on earth could you look depressed when your face is set like concrete. hehe, luv ya Paul. you have to see the funny side of that one!!
