    Are you/have you been depressed?

    I'm now on Prozac (fluoxetine). It's not extra-strong flavour; just the minimum starting dose. I was on Zispin (mirtazapine), which just made me sleepy and hungry. I have found a few side-effects, but I've been really lucky: the loss of appetite is just what I need to lose some weight, the...

    Are you/have you been depressed?

    I have been depressed for nearly half my life. Scary thought. (Yes, clinically depressed, with consultant psychiatrists and all.) I finally bullied my shrink into changing my antidepressant seven weeks ago, and within two weeks of starting the new one I was cheerful instead of gloomy. Now I am...

    Ask a doctor

    A few insect stings can be neutralised by the application of common household substances, like biocarb for acid stings (e.g. formic acid from ants) and lemon juice for alkaline stings. The problem is that you have to accurately identify the beasty that bit/stung/scratched you, look up what...

    Astronomy Picture thread

    www.galaxyzoo.org is a project to classify a million galaxies. We get to look at pretty pictures, and they get some useful data from the buttons we click. Here are some good examples (hey, this is the Astronomy Picture Thread, after all). All pictures courtesy of Galaxy Zoo; many found...

    Happy Birthday, Sophie 378!!!!!

    [party] Yay, you made me a thread! Thank you, everyone! :D I know it's been a long time since I've posted here, but I had to log in when I saw that. I've lurked a little, and done some drive-by spamming on the chatroom a couple of times; but now I'm mainly not coming because I'm too happy and...

    The Alternative Member's Photo Thread 6. The Dark Ages

    Uh, why? :confused: Have I insulted you or something, or come across as particularly fanatical about vegetables or fox-fur? Hey, it wasn't until after quoting you that I realised that the picture is of Sophie Ellis Bextor. :crazyeye:

    Summer Reading List

    OK, I'll come out of lurk mode long enough to do a hit-and-run. Why have you put Natural Sciences in the list of "soft sciences", when a quick look at a dictionary should assure you that "natural sciences" means the opposite of things like anthropology and social sciences? :mad: [/rant]...

    Funny Pictures IX: Giggles Galore!

    ybbor: for the same reason that the CH3 points up instead of down (and that the level of the liquid is straight instead of following the curve of the mug) - an error by someone more interested in the joke than accuracy. ;) An old funny from a newspaper :D

    The Alternative Member's Photo Thread 6. The Dark Ages

    :woohoo: Yay me, I was very bored and compiled this list of everyone who's ever said they can be done (or posted pictures, which counts for the same IMO) on these threads. Possible addition to the OP? If I've missed you out, or put you in the wrong category, then quote that list with the...

    What music are you currently enjoying? #15

    I've just swapped memory sticks - I feel like classical atm, though I've mostly been listening to Queen for the last few days. Albinoni's adagio in G minor.
