hi Mariposa!
great to have you back !
grateful to hear you're doing better ... i've missed you ...
so glad to read your posts ... ...i understand completely that if your neurotransmitters aren't up for posting, then you just aren't going to feel like posting ...
i am so sorry to hear about the circumstances of your mother-in-law's death ... ... you have my sympathies for your experience from that tragedy ... ... i was present when my father-in-law died from lung cancer ... but we had already had to have given up hope for him when he went ...
... of course, stresses like those and your job insecurity compound the burden on your neurotransmitters and the suppport your lexapro can give you ....
... ... i think that jc12578 may have a point about body weight being a consideration in lex dosage levels ... ... i wonder if it doesn't require blood level concentrations to be raised to minmum targets to be able to get the CNS to receive the expected med dose ... particularly across the blood-brain barrier ... and i wonder ... that our circulatory system's contents are like a sponge soaking up the lex we put in ... so that our bigger sponges end up with lower concentrations than our smaller sponges on the same dose .... ... ????
... how CAN a 90 pounder and a 270 pounder get similar CNS levels on the same , say, 20 miillgrams ???
<<< ... these days it's just any excuse for jim to justify him getting more, isn't it? ... ... HA!>>
... coursin' there's another reason some of us read our sweet Mariposa's posts here ... ... i'm sorry to admit this ... but you _are_ our "canary in the coal mine" now that you've suffered this dry spell of yours (ours?) ... at least for the waynes and jims who are dependng on lex and have to be vigilant for reports of "poop out" ...
so your cheerleader is going to always be cheering for you, babe ... hang in there ... and always ...
... TAKE CARE !!!
