Dear West,

Lost on SSRI's--your question is a provocative one, and I feel sad thinking about it. What's comes my mind right now, in response to your musings, is the grief I feel over what seem to be diminished opportunities and capabilities due to (mental) illness itself. This is a side thread to your question, I realize.

warm wishes,

Candace
