Sunday, December 7th, 2008I am in my last year of university now and finding myself not quite the person I am inside.

Antidepressants and oral health
Monday, October 20th, 2008 Do medications like antidepressants affect a person’s dental health?
I had a question. Do medications such as zoloft, geodon, lexapro, or lithium eventually lead to premature aging of the teeth or tooth decay or tooth recession? I’ve heard of stories of the old anti-epilipsey drugs causing things like gum problems which eventually led to tooth [...]

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006I was hoping you could give me advice with regards to a series of symptoms that nobody has been able to explain, despite my seeing many doctors and having many tests.
It all started when I was 12 when I woke up randomly with back pain. I’m pretty active, so I wrote it off as overdoing [...]
Unmotivated, Sleepy - Depression?
Wednesday, November 1st, 2006My son is 19. Since graduation from high school in May 2005, he has steadily become unmotivated to do anything. He started college, but then quit going.

Thursday, October 26th, 2006This is all new to me so if anyone can help it can’t be worse than the 14 doctors I have been to. When I was 18 i would become shaky inside and out at work maybe every couple months. As the years went on the shakiness became much more. I now [...]
