Dawdy’s got an interesting post over at Furious Seasons critiquing the FDA’s recent approval process vis-a-vis the use of Lexapro in kids 12-17. He explains his opposition to the use of the med in teens quite clearly; the only thing I would quibble with is the assumption that withdrawal is the same in every case. [...]

The problem is that when I'm pregnant, I need to eat almost constantly to gain enough weight. As soon as I'm not pregnant, I gain weight like a champ, even though I'm not even eating a quarter of ...
