Over the course of my career I have seen some individuals do poorly with these medicines. As with most every medication that people can be given there can be untoward side effects, complicated interactions, and/or simply ‘a bad fit’ between the person’s particular brain and body chemistry and the med(s) Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492461563889268879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103914919249706024.post-90242874881104188232014-01-10T22:34:34.088-08:002014-01-10T22:34:34.088-08:00I have really enjoyed this series, thank you for s...I have really enjoyed this series, thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

I will continue to write memories - just probably not a cohesive unit on my work. It'll go back to being more random segments on themes (as it was before this series).<br /><br />The other blogs I wrote were closed to general viewing when I got stalked by some people who sent me some hate mail.

I retired myself a few years ago from a job where I felt I had made significant contributions and developed very meaningful relationships with some peers.

I am glad you were able to successfully battle your depression but I know that it's like a little piece of you is not right and it can be hard to keep from getting depressed again.

I hope that this blog helps you on some level as I know it has helped me sort through some thoughts I had and continue to have to a degree about going to Japan.
