Would using an antidepressant (such as 10 mg Lexapro) for a month be long enough to cause significant long-term side effects if you off it? Would this have a significant impact on your brain? Lexapro can cause withdrawal symptoms, even after just a month. My daughter was on it for a while, and when her depression ended (it was actually a symptom of a more serious disease, Addison's), she had to wean herself off to prevent the irregular heartbeat she experienced when stopping suddenly.

I doubt that you are keeping it a secret from him. He is a non smoker, and he can smell smoke on you. Sure, you can eat a mint and maybe mask the smell on your breath, but the smell comes from your lungs, not your mouth. Smoke gets in your clothes and hair, smoking leaves yellow stains on your fingers. I suspect he knows you are smoking, and just hasn't confronted you about it.

My nephew still wasn't speaking much at the age of 3, so his doctor said he needed his eyes tested. He needed glasses, and once he could see, his speech improved immensly. He also went to speech therapy where he learned sign language, which I understand helps youngsters learn to speak.

What do you think of young children being asked by their schools to go door-to-door selling chocolate, wrapping paper, magazines, etc., to raise money for the schools? Do you usually buy this stuff when a kid comes to your door? Our local schools don't ask kids to go door to door anymore. They actually recommend having the parents take the brochures to work with them, and only go door to door if their parent goes with them. I don't usually buy because I have nieces and nephews who are going to want me to buy from them.

Should someone intervene when parents deny medical treatment for their young children? For example - a child with cancer is denied chemotherapy in favor of homeopathy or other alternative therapy, or all treatment is denied for religious reasons. Chemotherapy is harsh. It makes people sick. Sometimes chemo is an attempt to lengthen a life, rather than cure the cancer. If a parent doesn't want to watch their child suffer through that just for a chance of a few more months, they shouldn't be forced to. Is it the quantity of the remaining life that matters, or the quality? IMO, the quality is more important. I watched my mother...

Why was it more common for people to have alot of kids back then and now its not as common? my guess is because aids and stuff wasnt as common. "Back then" people didn't have readily available effective birth control. I think they probably needed all the help they could get to run their farms, and having more kids was a way to do it. Now, we have better birth control, and no longer need as many people to help out with chores. We have also realized that if every family had 12 kids, we will run out of room eventually.

She can call me when she is ready. She also uses it to call her older sister, who lives in a small town 20 miles from here, we don't...

I think you should educate yourself about how the reproductive system works before you have sex again.

Do you think you should have to take an I.Q. test to have kids? I think it would do the world some good to set standards. I don't think an IQ test is needed, as even less intelligent parents can raise intelligent kids. It isn't about how smart your parents are, it is about how well they raise you. If any test were needed, it should be a parenting test. Although, it would never happen, as forcing women to either be sterilized or use birth control would go against our civil rights.

So when Bobby Griffith-Brown meets Susan Whiteford-Abbot...do we end up with Susan Whiteford-Abbot-Griffith-Brown, and what about their kids? I was wondering this too, as my husband's new grandson has a hyphenated name. When he marries, and has children, will their names be Hiswife-Janedoe-Johndoe, or will they drop the Janedoe and name their kids Hiswife-Johndoe? How will this poor kid ever learn to spell his name, with a 9 letter first name, a 7 letter surname from mom, hyphen, 12 letter surname from dad.

What cause your blood sugar to drop suddenly?? What is the best way to get your blood sugar to rise, after it has dropped? Too much insulin can cause your blood sugar to drop, whether it is the insulin naturally produced by the body, or insulin that is injected. If you give yourself an injection, then don't eat soon enough, the insulin will deplete the sugar in your blood, and cause a drop. If your body isn't producing an adequate supply of insulin on it's own, the same thing can happen. For...

Why do women tend to have such extreme shower procedures compared to men? I would use bar soap as shampoo, while my girlfriend made me install a shower caddy for all her stuff. If your gf used bar soap on her hair, it would be dry and straw-like. We need the shampoos and conditioners to make our hair touchably soft, in case you men want to run your fingers through it. We need our body wash full of moisturizers to keep our skin soft so you will love touching us.

I enjoy taking a skein of yarn and making something useful out of it. It used to be cheaper to make stuff from yarn, but nowadays it is cheaper to buy blankets and sweaters ready-made. I spend a couple hours a day crocheting. It doesn't cost me much, mostly because I have a room full of yarn I inherited, or bought for a few dollars at auctions.

There are three people who have been poisoned - a newly born infant, a kind business owner who is in charge of thousands of employees, and an old lady. You have the antidote to the poison, but only enough to save one person... who would you give it to? I would be inclined to give it to the business man. I love babies and old people, but seriously, the baby has no responsibilities, the old lady has lived her life. The business man has all those employees working for him, and if he dies, all those people would be in upheaval, worried about whether their jobs were going to be gone. Out of the 3, he appears (to me) to be the most productive, and...

I think your best bet is to take a class of some sort. My local library offers free classes on a variety of crafts, including sewing. I know if you buy a sewing machine from Sears, they will do a short class on how to use the machine. I own a Kenmore (Sears brand) sewing machine that I have had for over 20 yrs, it was about $100. I have never owned any other machine, so I can't recommend any.

My 7 month old kitten has a lump in her throat and is beathing very shallow breaths. She has had a considerate amount of weight loss in the last week and a half. do you know what could be wrong with her? She may have gotten ahold of a chicken bone, or something like that. Chicken bones splinter, and are very sharp, if a cat tries to swallow one it can stick in their throat. If it has been in there for a week and a half, she probably has some sort of infection to go with it. She should go to the vet, I would consider this an emergency.

Why does the entire approach of many ABers change when answering, "How do I tell my parents I'm a Satanist?" as opposed to "How do I tell my parents I'm a Christian?" For the most part, parents are going to be more accepting of a child announcing christianity. Parents are going to freak when their child says, "I am a satanist" and will likely not stop to listen to an explanation of satanism. If your child says, "I am a christian" parents are less likely to freak out. To most people, christianity equals good, and satanism equals evil.

He cares what happens to me, and I care about what happens to him, I guess you could even say we are friends. We have been divorced for 16 yrs. My mother and father divorced when I...

Why should people work? it seems it easier to not work and count on the gov to give you money, if you work money is taken If no one worked, no one would pay taxes. Where is the money the government would pay us going to come from? Why should the government pay us all not to work? If no one works, who will run the government that will pay us all?

What do you think life would be like if everything was made out of candy? There would need to be a lot more dentists, plus everything would have bites out of it, so construction companies would have to be more plentiful. How would the streets be when it rained? Eww, probably sticky. Too much rain, and your fence dissolves, and needs replaced. Ants would be loving it, and would probably be EVERYWHERE! I am thinking sweet would not be what life would be.

My 16 month old cat has started hissing at her kittens who are now 5 months old. They have lived together quite happily up until about 2 months ago but now she hisses at them whenever she sees them and chases them out of her way. Can anyone advise? It sounds to me like she is trying to get them to move out, lol. Seriously, in nature, mothers will force their offspring to leave them, and go out on their own, so she is doing what nature intended. If you are going to keep the kittens, she will eventually get used to them being around and not hiss at them as much. I have 2 grown kittens and their mother, she did the same thing, but now they...

Do you think tipping at a restaurant is necessary? Why or why not? In Kansas waitress minimum wage is $2.13 an hour. We rely on tips to make a living. When I go out to eat, I overtip, unless the service is really bad, then I may not leave a tip at all. My opinion is, if you can't make enough tips to live on, then you need another job. Some people have told me that restaurants should pay their employees, instead of letting the customers pay them, but if...

Would you insist on a prenuptial agreement? I don't have anything of value to put in a prenuptial agreement. Asking someone to sign a prenup seems (to me, anyway) like a lack of trust, or faith in the relationship. I suppose there are those with a lot of money that have to worry that people are marrying them for their money, and the prenup would prevent that.

He has stated he wants nothing to do with the child so he does not have to pay, but his mother keeps threatning to take the baby away from me. what are my rights? i live in CA. Whether he has anything to do with the baby has no bearing on whether he pays child support. He is responsible for supporting the baby even if he never sees it. Taking a child away from it's mother is not all that easy. The mother would have to prove that you are unfit to be a mother. Just saying you aren't capable of raising the child is not enough proof. I suspect she is mostly...

I really dislike that show, as well as Maury, who is starting to be a lot like Jerry.

It was 1 day after my period. I'm freaking out someone please answer! I would say the chances are very slim that you are pregnant. In most menstrual cycles, there is about 2 wks between your period and ovulation. Birth control prevents ovulation, which prevents pregnancy. I doubt that ovulation happened between Sunday and Tuesday.
