A lot of good references out there. Here are two:

Current psych meds: Clomipramine (200mg.) , Abilify (2.5 mg.), (Ambien 10mg) Ativan (as needed)
Other Meds: Crestor, Metformin
Physical woes: Migraine, PCOS, CFS, Diabetes, High cholesterol

Just as an aside, I know sarah and we used to make out all the time. I really had a thing for her [ and I think her for me] but our timing was always off, so we never could see if it went anywhere.
ANYWAY
She's a pretty smart chic with a great "head on her shoulders".
Cool to see this.
But unfourtunate, too.
