It’s not, honest. You and Guin nailed one of the things I’d been feeling for a long time–that I was being selfish for concentrating so much on myself, and not on my family or friends or other people.

**Kalhoun** , I take 40 mg. of the generic form of prozac, 150 mg. of topomax, 3-4 generic xanax (mg. unknown), one trazodone (mg unknown), and one provigil (mg. unknown).

I also take other non-depression/anxiety related medications from my internist.

I’m not sure of all of the spellings.

I retired from teaching on a disability pension, but I have my full pension now. I don’t think I could have taken everything I needed and still have functioned.

I’m so pleased that you are able to do it without medications now! (I’ll bet that you stay awake in movies better than I do!)
