This weekend was a little bleak. The high point was playing fetch with a border collie. But I felt like I had slipped away from reality in an uncomfortable way.

Not long ago, however, I think I mentioned Mental Health America’s most recent report: Ranking America’s Mental Health: An Analysis of Depression Across the States. Yesterday Joe sent me an email about that study, saying,

In this day and age, how to make a report on our nation’s mental health suspect in one easy lesson: “This report was supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Wyeth Pharmaceuticals.”

Ugh. He’s so right.

Liz,I really hope that you start to feel better once again. I decided to stop lurking and tell you what an inspiration you are. I don’t know whether you increased your antidepressant, and I don’t know how your akethesia is, but knowing that you are slipping is surely a sign to get back to the good doctor. I am rooting for you. You are brilliant and beautiful.

Your impudence becomes you – it wasn’t hard to imagine a proud middle finger waving around the big red letters :)

I was on EffexorXR in 2001 and am still dealing with the consequences. No offense meant to any who have seen improvement in their lives from this drug, I simply wouldn’t trust this company to tell me the sky was blue.
