essbee, glad you made it to the doctor, and got your prescription sorted out - you are moving forward from your position last weekend. At least you now can give the medication a chance - just see how it goes. You're in my thoughts.

essbee - which ads are you taking?

gothicmama · 05/07/2004 12:20

NOt to panic anyone but just to say the spacey feeling should go if it does not, or you get it often be careful when driving or parking cars as it can affect judgement (spacial awarness?? sp) IT is one side effect that never seems to be mentionned Iused to have trouble with door ways - luckily wasnot driving at time na da couple of women I know have had trouble parking - like I said do not panic but is worth being aware of

Did anyone see "you are what you eat" last night?

Apparently this woman (who had a diabolically bad diet)was very low in the B vitamins, esp B6 IIRC, which was said to contribute to her depression.

Could anyone comment

gloworm · 05/07/2004 23:25

actually i was just about to post a message to kizzie to say that B vitamins are recommended for people with depression!
it is better to use a "B complex" which has all the b vitamins in it, rather than just picking one b vitamin, such as B6. In the body all the b vitamins work together so a b-complex tablet will be better.

Hello essbee, how are you today? How you are feeling is completely understandable, in fact it would be strange if you weren't feeling a bit crap after the last several months. The question is, and the one you asked, is what to do about it. Well looks like you've made the right moves so far, hope the ads help soon. Keep talking, love for now, Cam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

saintshar · 06/07/2004 21:19

Yes jmg1, i did mean today.

jmg1 · 06/07/2004 21:33

Will give her a call.

wobblyknicks · 06/07/2004 21:45

saintshar - when did you contact her?

gothicmama · 06/07/2004 21:46

Mirage · 06/07/2004 21:47

Have just emailed her-hope she is ok.

wobblyknicks · 06/07/2004 21:49

would phone her but no point atm if jmg is.

gothicmama · 06/07/2004 21:54

maybe she is catching up on her work - I keep hoping she has posted

jmg1 · 06/07/2004 21:55

Just had a chat with her. She is going to sort the kids out and take a bath. She obviously has a lot to worry about at the moment.

wobblyknicks · 06/07/2004 21:55

hopefully she's just having a bit of time out

wobblyknicks · 06/07/2004 21:56

glad you spoke to her jmg - is she ok, am sure soupy could pop round if she needed.

SoupDragon · 06/07/2004 22:36

I don't think so.

jmg1 · 06/07/2004 22:41

fio I don't think so. I am not an expert but as she has two young children who is going to make her leave the house if push comes to shove? do you know what I mean. That is a big issue and surely she must have rights?

wobblyknicks · 07/07/2004 09:57

if anyone speaks to essbee, could they just post on here to say she's ok?
