I've heard them say she is fragile, blank, etc. etc. etc..
How did she ever manage to drive to Orange Beach, AL with three kids in a minivan in this condition. There's lots of folks who couldn't do that in the best of situations!
The one thing that I got from my time in the trenches that is still with me is my wife. In addition to my work on professional ambulances I also did time on the volunteer ambluance in my home town. For six months I was the crew chief on the Friday night shift (no one else would take it). And the woman who is now my wife and her mother were my crew. Of course I got spoiled as my wife did everything I told her... then we got married... ;^>
Check you mail in a second.
Some good info about psychiatric drugs here. I would just like to add that I have recently experienced Severe Discontinuation Syndrome from going off Effexor. I had severe episodes of nausea and vomiting three times within 48 hours after missing a dose or stopping it to switch to another anti-depressant. The info to TAPER OFF ANY PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS is very important and even then you will sometimes have problems. And sad to say there is still a lot of stigma attached to mental illness (including depression) in some areas.
Whether or not this has any bearing on the Winkler tragedy, I admire so much the way they and their community are handling this tragedy
