LIVE from the Paxilprotest!!

Just getting prepared for the protest. Ryan and I head out of here about noon tomorrow and WILL have the laptop with us. I'll post as often as I can and take pics. A HUGE thanks for Rob for making this possible and to Darcy for keeping the ball rolling over all these years. We WILL be heard!

Re: LIVE from the Paxilprotest!!

OK, First installment! We're safely here. I though you would all get a kick out of the view from our room at the hotel.
Sorry about the size, I don't have the program with me to re-size! If anyone can resize feel free(Darcy!!) Off to meet up with Rob!

Re: LIVE from the Paxilprotest!!

What a view Laurie!! Just by looking at the pic I feel like marching my very own protest right in my living room... Just wondering what might be cooking behind those windows, especially on the top floor where the big ones usually have their offices. Keep'em coming Laurie....

Same year, 3 .5 mil Xanax a day, 4 by the end. Pooped out on me. 1 1/2 years on the drug. Doctors taper. Very bad w/d.

9 months later took 10 mg Paxil and my Xanax w/d dissapeared. On 20 mg by end. Pooped out on me. C/T then restarted it again after 3 days and big blow up. 6 months taper, never feeling much better. 2 1/2 years solid w/d then sporadic stuff for 5 years.

Completely recovered!
