If one believes in this hypothesis, then the bad things that happen to your are due to your negative thoughts. Francoise Sagan really got frosted by this idea when she contracted breast cancer. "Positive Thinking" is also a fundamental concept of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism.

I say use what works for you, regardless of the source. Personally, I am a skeptical adherent of the scientific method, as well as an empiricist regarding my own experience with anti-depressant meds, (in which I believe).

hi there high hat!

Dear bizi,

Hi!

Same-o, same-o. Trying to segue from Paxil to Lexapro, (this time, last time, it was Cymbalta). I have cut my Paxil dosage down from 90 mg. to 15 mg. over the past four months and am still OK, (I think). I have added 10 mg. of Lexapro and will cut out the Paxil entirely in a month if all goes well.

My computer finally came back from the shop for the second time. It may have to go back a third, however, as the fan is noisy and I hear that noisy fans are a symptom of a faulty motherboard.

I have also acquired a cell phone. Lost it almost as soon as I got it but had purchased the staggeringly expensive damaged/lost insurance so it only set me back $50. The cell phone accessory that I need is a cable with which one could fasten the phone around one's waist. Not available, unfortunately.

How have you been?

You sound good high hat!
Hopefully your med change will prove to be your ticket!
I am stabilizing after a manicy period of time...so I feel much better.
thanks for asking.
