A week ago, my doctor at my college prescribed me 25mg of Zoloft, and said that after 7 days, I am supposed to take two each day. (Making it 50mg.) The thing is, I already feel a little better. My gut instinct says to ignore the prescription, and just take one 25mg. However, I am not a doctor. There is also no way to get ahold of my doctor for about two more weeks...by then it will probably be too late.

On the other hand, my "feeling better" could just be the placebo effect, and I should, therefore, take 50mg tonight.

Does anyone have any idea what I should do?

I have regular 500mg Paracetamol tablets and Panadeine tablets that contain 500mg paracetamol and 8mg codeine phosphate. Is that 8 mg of codeine REALLY makes any difference? Is it going to be a significant difference or is it just a trick from pharmaceutical companies to make people feel better phyhologicly?

Since cells must have a docking port on it for HIV to infect, what happens to HIV in a person who lacks this docking mechanism? Does it just float around in the body? Does it die? and Can the person infect others? Serious answers only.

I was thinking about Alzheimer patients and memory loss. For a neuron to fire in the brain a calcium ion has land in a gateway channel at the base of the axon. The calcium atom must be ionic. A neutral diatomic calcium molecule (I think) wouldn't work.

I've always thought that calcium was a pretty important component of good memory based on the above. (I wonder if a lack of calcium in the brain triggers osteoporosis.)

What I was really thinking about is what is the makeup of the "plaque" that forms around neurons, which is thought to be the cause of alzheimer's. Is the plaque caused by a lack of what ever keeps atoms from forming diatomic bonds? Are normally ionic atoms forming harmful molecules that clump around the neuron?
