Zo,
Many people here ARE worried about Sal, and have expressed their worry about his meds in mnay mnay posts. Sal insists that self medication is fine, but I think we are witnessing the fact that self medicvation can be bad. he does seem to be in trouble some how right now, and I for one wish he would see a doctor.
If you can manage to get him to see that, great, but I fear he will continue to self medicate.
