For anxiety, you could, for example take Seroquel (quetiapine) 50 mg at night and then take two 25 mg doses during the day. At 75 mg/day, extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) are often non-existent and the risk of tardive dyskinesia (TD) is minimal. You can discuss the specifics with your doctor. A rather unusual choice for anxiety is promethazine (Phenergan). I saw this drug work well as a substitute for Zyprexa (olanzapine) when weight-gain became an issue.

> > I get the feeling that your case is not so straight-forward. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a type of psychotherapy, can be very helpful to deal with depression and anxiety. It really isn't that hard or intense, but just takes some practice outside the therapist's office. In fact, some people practice using a workbook. CBT treatment doesn't last forever like some other forms of psychotherapy seem to. A course of CBT can be relatively brief. It is very much like taking a school course to learn how to change how you think about things and thus changes how your feel. CBT is not a drilling down to the inner workings of your psyche. You aren't forced to reveal your most secret thoughts or feelings.

> Look what Scott has said above. Be not deceived. Because Mr. Hsiung is allowing it, you could be seriously misled to act on what Scott is promulgating here in toto because Mr. Hsiung states that being supportive takes precedence. But it is much worse than that which could lead you to a life-time of misery and kill yourself and/or others along with you.
> I now want to present what is know as the fallacy of moving the goalposts which is related to slothful induction. You see, Mr. Hsiung has changed his standards that were originally used here. But how could him changing his standards make his community improved in his thinking? The answer will shock you.
> LouFriends,
Not everyone will be shocked by what I am going to tell you. For there could be a subset of readers that already know what I am going to say here. Those could be the members in concert with Mr. Hsiung and some deputies of record that collaborated with Mr. Hsiung to do his wishes as a deputy does. I know of only one singular reason why the deputies that were of record allowed my notifications to remain outstanding.
But let us look at one standard that Mr. Hsiung has changed in moderating his site. The original standard is that one match could start a forest fire. His new standard that he changed is that many matches are needed to start a forest fire. But how could you accept that the fact that one match could start a forest fire is not a fact when it is. Is this not tantamount for Mr. Hsiung to say that the Earth is flat? Science shows and proves that the Earth is flat and who can change that proof? Science shows that one match could start a forest fire and who has the authority to change that proof? If he moves the goalposts there, what does that show? The answer "could" shock you, but some already know.
