Scientists have done studies to show that women are actually the final choosers in a relationship. This is because they have more at risk, because if they get pregnant, they want to make sure the guy is responsible, has some degree of attractiveness, can support her and the child, etc... It truly is a purely biological thing. You see it out in the wild, too. Males will take any females they can get, as females are always looking for the better males. Sorry if that's a downer for some of you guys, but you will find someone who's standards you meet, because every female has different standards.

I was on it for about 2 years, on a true therapuetic and regular dose, (not just a tad I took when I felt like it.) At first, it is SO kick-ass... feel like you can do just about anything and basically DO! But then the depressive swings in the manic-depressive pattern kick in, and ugh.... it's hell. Then the manic comes back - not the fluffy little happy, giddy spells you've mostly seen on TV. The up-for-4-days-straight, mind-racing, paranoid, feel-like-your-on-crack spells.

Joy >> Correct. If you miss doses of just about ANY psychiatric medication, it can cause serious problems. I took (as I always do) my medication just as directed. Even if you decide to stop taking the medication, work with your doctor to wean you off, or it will shock your system. A common problem with this medication is that it makes bipolarity worse, or even brings about bipolar depression in people that are truly only depressed, with general anxiety disorder. I fell in this category. As I got worse, the doctor only INCREASED the Paxil dosage, just saying I needed more. Or increasing my other medications to try to "lessen" the "side effects" - tried just about everything BUT the actual medications I needed to be taking instead. After talking to MANY people who have been on these medications, as well as health care professionals in this field, I finally INSISTED to be taken off this medication. (Mind you, I have gone thru several doctors and had serious medical problems of both physical and psychological nature since I was 4 years old. By the time I was 10, I knew more than most third year interns.) My doctor wasn't too happy about it, but we started steadily decreasing my Paxil and started me on another medication. I'm not doing cartwheels, but I'm much better than I was before. I spent about two years either being an emotional wreck, manic or depressed, or, if I was lucky, in between I would be a complete zombie from time to time. Basically, I was just so depressed most of the time that my brain transfered that pain into physical pain. (That is my constant headaches and body aches are considered some of the many signs of possible depression. You're hurting, but you don't really know how to process the pain. Or, if you have family like me, you are constantly being asked "What's wrong?" when you don't feel like doing anything, or you feel too dead to cry although you are truly down, or you just want to lie in bed with the lights off and sleep all day. Depression? A valid excuse? Nah, that's all just in your head.) Even though numerous doctors, both physicians and psychiatrists, told her this was completely valid, she still doesn't believe. Thus, there is your reason that all of this is twice is hard for me.
