nothingsacred - what happened w/ the ambien that made it evil?

One of the first times I took it I didn't realize how quick it would kick in and I got distracted talking on the phone and I guess not realizing I was fighting the sleep while I was trying to finish my conversation. That did make for some slight hallucinations...but since then I've learned to lay down as soon as I take it and I think it makes for a great nights sleep.

Alicia Silverstone has a new show.

Kristin Bell is coming back to Heroes, the question is just for how many episodes.

Did Drea DeMatteo get fired before Joey was cancelled?

the bee endorses Nasonex. And for some reason, he's Hispanic.

Maybe because he's Antonio Banderas? ;) I think he got the bee job because everyone loved his character in Shrek 2.

Rebecca Romijn would be well-known for the X-Men movies, not just tv.

One of the reasons antidepressants raise the suicide rate is because without them, many people are too depressed to attempt suicide. So in a funny way, being suicidal can be a sign of improvement.

How about Rebecca what's-her-name from Ugly Betty?...

How about Rebecca what's-her-name from Ugly Betty? She is not coming back.

2008-05-08T08:37:00.000-07:00

nothingsacred - I wasn't suggesting that patients should diagnose themselves. All I meant was that today people do research, so are often aware of the pros and cons to certain drugs. That's all. Doctors are not Gods, they are human, and I think a well-informed person would discuss the advantages and possible side effects of any medication being suggested. Just so there's no misunderstanding, I'm all for drugs (hope that came out right!)

2008-05-08T08:26:00.000-07:00

I agree that Effexor is the best anti-depressant ever. I went off of it because of one of the side effects, and I will say that going off of it is an *experience*. Even carefully tapering down, that first day without it I had very foreign thoughts and feelings. Not suicidal, but not happy either.

Still, if they could eliminate a side effect, I would be back on it in a flash...

nothingsacred, the bee endorses Nasonex. And for some reason, he's Hispanic.

If not for Paxil, I'd "bee" in the looney bin or dead right now. Different thinks work for different people.

2008-05-08T07:55:00.000-07:00

Isn't that Julianna Margulies with Rossum?

Me thinks it cold be her. I read in some gossip rag a few years ago that she had some issues with depression.

2008-05-08T06:44:00.000-07:00

i don't equate it as being "well-informed", i see it as drug companies trying to get people to diagnose themselves.
As I've stated before, it shouldn't be the patients job to do these things.

2008-05-08T05:24:00.000-07:00

I take Effexor and it is the best thing that ever happened to me. Drugs work differently for different people.

2008-05-08T05:21:00.000-07:00

It's not just medicine that causes suicidal thoughts. Every time I hear the words "Perez" and "Hilton" in the same sentence, I want to kill myself.

2008-05-08T05:20:00.000-07:00

Eliza Dushku is also listed. Angie Harmon is too, but she is only semi-attractive.

2008-05-08T05:15:00.001-07:00

Drea DeMatteo just had a baby in November 2007 with Shooter Jennings. I can't imagine it is her. I would not put Nikki Cox in the "very attractive column" as she is freakish looking. Samaire Armstrong is not that attractive either.

Anyone who attempts suicide cannot get insurance in Hollywood.

2008-05-08T05:15:00.000-07:00

Beth, I take Effexor and it has helped me tremendously. I think it is pointless to label a drug as evil just because it doesn't work for some. All drugs have this problem. Some work and some don't. My sister had a very horrible experience with Chantix, but others have positive experiences. Also, you slipped when you were talking about "your friend."

2008-05-08T05:03:00.000-07:00

lauren, I think Drea DeMatteo is a great guess. I don't remember her losing a job, but I could be wrong.

2008-05-08T03:56:00.000-07:00

Relax nothingsacred. If anything, it shows that we are all pretty well informed these days. And that's a good thing. A little knowledge goes a long way.

2008-05-07T22:25:00.000-07:00

dude, like almost every medicine these days causes at least suicidal thoughts.
I was going to take Neurontin for my migraines, but turns out that people throw themselves through windows while on it. SO! yeah, not taking that.
I hate that society has become so pharmacologically obsessed. i mean (and this is no offense to anyone on here, just something i've noticed) you guys can name like 10 drugs off the cuff. Thats not a patients job, you know? lol Its nice to be informed, but now with all the commercials and the kickbacks, docs work is um, easy. it gets people to the doctor, being like "oh i felt sniffly the other day, i think i have allergies GIVE ME THE MEDICINE THE BEE ENDORSES SINGULAIR"
that and all the shit with Ambien. THAT Shits evil.

ok off my soapbox for now, i'm exhausted.

Definitely D'rea De'Matteo! Soprano's and Joey!

dbf -- Brynn took cocaine the night of Phil's death. This is what caused the fight between Andy Dick and Jon Lovitz. The night of Phil's death Jon and friends were furious; Andy gave her cocaine knowing she had remained clean up until that point and because all knew she was dangerous when she took it. He gave it to her, she took it and a few hours later Phil is killed.

crosstown & parklady I give 4.5 to SARAH:
for the distillation of numerous online pharmalot articles to one incredibly ridiculous phrase/show of non-comprehension:

"It's a complicated issue, but the risks of either position on the fence are great."

Truly, I'm speechless with awe at the supreme stupidity and amazing resemblance to the Bush administration Iraq WMDs explanations.

Surely this is non NYer josie again, drinking pitchers w/ Jimmy whilst making up stories on the non crosstown bus.

2008-05-07T19:28:00.000-07:00

OMG I just found my new catch phrase - "I have post graduate credits beyond a master's degree". LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it because every hs dropout genius tries this at one time or another. Oxymoron anyone?

2008-05-07T19:20:00.000-07:00

Samaire Armstrong is a drug addict, not depressed. She went to rehab, not for depression but drug addictio, doesn't fit.

Paxil-interesting factoid-since the FDA outlawed it for teens and children the suicide rate has increased for those populations. Sad. It's a complicated issue, but the risks of either position on the fence are great.

I thought Alicia Silverstone was a list at one time? For film?

2008-05-07T19:00:00.000-07:00

a new guess - what about Alicia Silverstone???

She was huge and expected to be a big star... and then kinda disappeared. Also, after clueless, she was signed onto a long contract to star in and produce movies and there was only one made.

I think i've heard that she suffers from depression, too.
