Lexapro (Escitalopram Oxylate). 10 mg is the once daily average dose for an adolescent or adult. It can be prescribed in 20 mg doses too. It cannot be taken alongside any M.A.O.I.'s (Mono Amine Oxydase Inhibitors) and is contraindicative if taken with Citalopram (a no no!).
I take a 40 mg daily dose of Citalopram. Soon to be increased to 60 mg. Although I would prefer 80 mg per day with 'a chaser'! Sometimes when one crosses swords with other members it can make a meek and mild chap such as I both anxious and'very depressed'!
OOOOH! THAT IS 'A CAN OF WORMS' ..AS THEY SAY! PHEW!: Sharp intake of breath. Yes! America appears to lead the way .. in just about everything (?)! Even young Japanese 'love' to copy the fads coming out of America.
I think the most dangerous setting of any social standard in any society anywhere in the world .. is when MONEY/CAPITALISM/MATERIALISM/WEALTH are placed above human lives.
When things made of paper and metal become more valued than a human life, THAT is when a society and their culture start to rot.
And the world as we know it today, beautiful though it is in parts, and happy though millions are, many who are content with their lives, and humanitarian contributions to other people (s), their locality/localities, environment (s), countries, animals, etcetera, the rot in our respective infrastructures has been festering for a very long time!
I wish I could conclude my reply to your blog on a happier note. Better disappear into my kitchen and see how my soup is coming along. Sigh.
JANA28 .. I refute that allegation! I would never resort to using such language .. especially to a Lady; of my acquaintance. There is only one woman with whom I have crossed swords with on CS.
iS THIS A QUOTATION FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE BIBLE [JESUS SPEAKING TO HIS FATHER 'YAHWE' FROM THE CROSS] PERHAPS? (Forgive them Father for they know not what they do!) There are times .. when I wish that I was able to [do, just that .. forgive]. Three people on this site spring to my mind.
However, having read INTHEMIND's objective article about 'debates and debaters' and SOME DUDE's missive, I now find myself able to take a step backwards and strive to look at bigotry in an objective manner. And yet despite that, I am still angry.
Congratulations Julie4 on your new life in Australia! Your tenacity and fortitude are admirable. What did you do and where did you live before you settled in Australia?
pacificfans .. Am I correct in thinking that you may be an Accountant? Or a Banker, perhaps? Confrontations with a Client are never easy where bad news is to be given. I hope that your client will come to see that the fault was not your own (?) and that your past/present services to him or her are/were second to none.
Wow! Your Blog has to be the longest and most thoughtfully complex that I have ever seen anywhere (including at CS)!! Clearly you are a bright intelligent articulate young Lady; speaking from the heart; about her own experience (s) within an inter-racial marriage (?) (At least this was the impression I had.)
Your views are thought provoking and your use of the English language well done. It is my fervent hope that your marriage has been a successful one, and as the result of you and your partner respecting each other and working together to overcome all obstacles and challenges to your joint happiness as described in your article (?).
I enjoyed reading it. And I thank you for sharing it with us here at CS.
I am saddened to hear this. What happened? Can I help? Whatever it was that cast a shadow over your day, I hope that it was not a bad thing, and that you will soon feel more positive? Thank you for your thought though!
Hearing 'that' breaks my heart! I am rendered verbally speechless! I hope that wherever people go after death (if one believes) that this couple will always be together.
Was it reported as to what the circumstances of their deaths were?
Tut tut tut, poor cynical you! I have NO sympathy with a statement such as yours. It is soo cold 'brrrr!' that it makes me want to wear a warm (er) coat!
Rewrite the search criteria in your profile? Ask for that casual friend to be 'a responsive kind of person' with whom you would want to interact (?).
You did not clarify though as to the kinds of personality that you 'wouldn't normally want to be good friends with' nor did you suggest why 'they' [in particular] were more likely to pursue you than other men would?
It should be relatively easy for you to avoid any man who is 'a controlling persona' and/or whom desires 'a committed relationship' with you, because basing this on your earlier experiences of interacting with such people, you should be able to spot them coming at you from a mile away!
And .. since you clearly stated that you did not want or need a committment from men in general, simply say so in your profile, in any way that cannot be misunderstood or misinterpreted.
My sympathies! It is sad that you have come to feel this way about this particular site. You DO NOT have to be a 10/10 to attract interest at CS.
Hopefully in time, you will encounter the kind of person you were seeking, and find that 'he' has been seeking you in turn! I hope so, as we each deserve to have some happiness in our lives, that does not necessarily come from our immediate family and friends, where we are lucky to have them.
Try to be positive, keep your chin up, and soldier on .. Everything comes to she who waits, as an old adage goes! Good luck!
Indamel. Hello. Everyone, at sometime in their life, has moments of self pity (?). Don't begrudge yourself the luxury! Feeling 'sorry' for ourself can be a great 'pick-me-up' and tonic booster for a mope of insecurity and or, a loss of faith or direction.
This does not work for everybody and may not appeal to some. But it does give us an opportunity to reflect upon our situation, and may provide insights to resolve it that were previously obscure.
I hope that you are feeling much better now, and I wish you well.
"Truth" has been considered by many to be 'The Elixir Of Life'. Yet conversely to some people, one person's 'truth' is another person's 'poison'. Aye even the most sophisticated, intelligent, and successful people can be misguided or misled by another person's version of 'the truth'.
You only have to read some of the blogs on this site to see what I mean!
Good luck to you! I think that you are both brave and optimstic. Keep looking forward. One day (hopefully soon) you will find the right person, and 'she' [will find] you!
The more often that you delete me, says more about your own inability to pay attention to constructive criticism. Your actions suggest less intellect than I gave you credit for. Be ashamed that you will not let others see what I wrote in my own defence.
Chaw3y .. my sympathies to you! What an awful experience: to be stood up by someone you were so looking forward to meeting. Whatever the cause of his absence back in September (nothing short of sudden death or complete incapacitation would have kept me away) I hope things turn around for you, and that you will find happiness very soon!

None. Apparently.
