Status report, aka Me! Me! Me!

Hello, livejournal. My life has finally stopped its downward descent into the pits of hell. It's holding steady now. There is potential for the reversal of my late disturbing trend to ignore everything and hide in a corner.

For college, I'm going off books on medical grounds for the rest of the year. I'll be repeating first year, and transferring out of French, probably to biblical and theological studies, or - if I'm lucky - to medieval history. I won't be doing exams this year.

Oh, and a favour? Is there anyone out there who can point me at information about 'Serotonin re-uptake inhibitors'? What they are, what they do, how they work? I know they're anti-depressants, but that's about all I know, and Google hates me tonight.

http://neuroland.com/psy/ssri.htm -- looks like a formulary

http://www.biopsychiatry.com/ssris.htm -- appears to be a psychiatric reference. Look it over and let me know what your questions are; I can translate for you.

http://psychcentral.com/library/choosing_ssri.htm -- looks more approachable for the layperson.

http://history.nih.gov/exhibits/bowman/SSssri.htm -- some of the history behind serotonin.

http://www.emedicinehealth.com/ssris_and_depression/article_em.htm -- medical information for the layperson.


I should stop here and let you process the information. Feel free to email me directly if you'd rather not share all the questions with LJ. :-)

I owe you, you know that? :-) Thanks.

Hey, I owe you...for Naomi Novik, amongst others. So we're even.

Naomi Novik

Throne of Jade is out, isn't it? I'll just wander over to Amazon and drool at the page for a while :-).

(And still, thanks)

I'll join you in drooling over the page, as I haven't got my copy yet. ;-)

Oh, you're welcome.
