      From catslave October 12, 2007

      I came here through a friend of a friend with a drive by purring just for you! For the next minute my 25 cats will purr in unison (Tilly, get out of the food bowls!), just for you! (Hoover, get out of the kitchen!) This will happen momentarily (Magic stop hitting Tabitha!). Any time now (Bob get out of the LITTERBOX!). Ok, we may have to do this tomorrow (as a green cloud engulfs the computer) because Bob just went to the litterbox and no one wants to be around when that happens...ummm..so...Happy Day! (as massive coughing and choking ensues)

      using it for nerve pain...and it works well for that. As far as the depression goes, i dont see a difference. The other medications i took worked much better.

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      i have done therapy before and it has worked, going to start going back though.
