Dear Loving Helen,

My hand hurts so this will be short. <smile>

Thanks so very much for the lovings!

I'm taking Prozack for depression and anxiety.

I was doing so very well on the 40 MGS a day, that we desided to cut back
to 20 MGS, and I tried that for a little over a month, and I'm not doing so
good with 20 MGS so I'm going back on the 40 MGS a day.

See my post to Phil, it explains more. <smile>

Thanks.

Love you!
Pat Ferguson
