Hi Honore:
I guess it does come in handy to have nine children, in good health, at my mother's time of need.
Thank you for explaining what the 'Physicians' Desk Reference' is. I do know the book now that you desribe it.
It is so incredible that you would take your time to check on line to get information for me and my mother. My mom is on 10 mg. of cipralex which I gather is also called lexapro. I will certainly tell my brothers and sisters this in case they are the one at the doctor with her.
Thank you for wishing my mother well. Over the last two days she has had a breakthrough and was able to attend a Christmas get together at her apartment. Although she didn't seem so great this morning, perhaps it is a start.
Having suffered with depression for so long, I have found that after so many years, so many people have said to me that they wish they could help and I know that it has been hard on my family as you start to get worse and isolate yourself. It is particularily hard for my daughter and of course my mother also feels helpless, even though I try to reassure them that there support has meant more than anything.
That is a good idea about the possibility of a cancellation. I will call my brother tomorrow as he is the one who will be taking her.
I cannot thank you enough for the time you took to help us. It used to be, before my depression got so bad, that I would be able to do more and gather information. It is great to know that you have friends here at babble who are willing to go the extra distance.maryhelen
