She is 5'2" tall and weighed 96-99 lbs. She kept telling this psychiatrist she was depressed and felt suicidal thoughts. They hospitalized her for about 4 days and just kept upping the dose. She was shaking so bad she could not hold a spoon to eat a bowl of cereal.
I got really upset when the school called me because she was throwing up all of the time. She ended up with Strep throat and when we went to the ER because her throat was swollen so bad she couldnt swallow her own spit, the ER doctor told me to start weaning her off the Zoloft. He thought it was ridiculous. She was also on Risperdal 0.5 mg twice a day and clonidine at bedtime.
Finally, summer vacation came and I weaned her off everything. She now is fine and its been over a year.
This all happened after she broke up with a boyfriend and got really upset. She was self mutilating and was just beside herself. I think meds are over prescribed. What do you think?

How do you measure penis size? When you read do google searches for penis size statistics, are those measurements for stiff penises are soft penises? I get a different measurement when I measure from top than when I measure from the bottom or the side. How exactly do you measure?

My husband recently decided that he wasn't going to eat red meat or pork products anymore in an attempt to lose weight. He is also eating more veggies/fruits etc., however he is physically exhausted and having difficulty in bed. Could this be due to the change in diet? He does take a multi-vitamin but that hasn't helped. Please share your experiences and suggestions.

I understand that an activists job is to protect their "bottom line" and not to give an inch to the opposition for fear of weakening their position. Why though, can't their respective leaderships make some concessions in order to appear reasonable to the public and maybe even earn more followers to their causes?

I am against the idea of abortion but I believe a woman should always have the final word on medical matters. It saddens me that so many choose to abort pregnancies, but making it illegal seems like it's not the right answer either. You may ask how someone can be anti abortion but for a woman's right to choose all at the same time, but sorry folks, that's me.

My problem is with those who advocate something as brutal as a Partial Birth Abortion....and ...Those who want to stop a rape victim from doing what they need to do to put their horror behind them.

Both sides are guilty of promoting, untenable and unrealistic agendas. How can we accomplish anything this way?

Since Dec. I've only been getting my periods every 2 months... I missed Jan. got it in Feb.. Missed March...still not yet in April... I took a preg. test which is negative, my doctor said maybe I'm just ovulating later... but could it be anything else?? Do you think this is the beginning of a bigger issue or that it'll be harder for me to get pregnant?

I played soccer all through higschool. I was average weight and healthy. Senior year for some unknown reason I gained 5-10 pds. Than I went to college gained another 12 pds (was not playing soccer every day) that summer ran everyday a mile for a month and lost 6 pds. Next year at school gained it back plus 10 more pds. Maintained that weight for rest of college. Gradated college, joined a gym and play soccer on a team once a week. Still notice all my old jeans are tight. I do not understand.....I work out more now than I did in college...so why do I continue to gain weight if I excercise more. I also drink (booze)way less!!! Very confused..
