Part 4 My First Prescription for SSRI Medication

Image
I last left my story of medication for OCD with Dr. Celexa in 2001, and his confidence that a med would fix any side effects I might have if I started on Celexa. Shortly after, I began researching whether Celexa was the right medication. I was terrified of making a mistake. In the midst of this, my therapist, Molly, started a session by saying, "This is going to be hard for both of us. I need to have brain surgery, and will be out for 6 weeks." OCD doesn't leave a lot of room for learning how to cope with the chaos of life. Yeah, I researched her surgery, and that anesthetized the anxiety for a fleeting moment.

Online Prescription Glasses Are Affordable And Stylish

By Roseann Hudson Even though more people are able to purchase medical insurance today, most health policies exclude coverage for vision. In past years eye-care was traditionally managed from start to finish by ophthalmologists or optometrists, many of whom still stock a wide range of frames and styles. The convenience and popularity of Internet shopping has dramatically upended that arrangement, and buying online prescription glasses and contact lenses is now big business. This explosion in consumer choice does not decrease the vital importance of regular eye exams. People with serious vision problems realize how vital regular checkups are in maintaining their eyesight. Optometrists and ophthalmologists are trained to recognize and treat potentially serious problems in addition to correcting common issues such as astigmatism or myopia. When a prescription has been written, federal laws enacted within the past forty years guarantee that patients have the right to choose their own...
