Antidepressants Impair Driving Ability? Really?

A couple of months ago I read a few articles about a study that seriously makes me want to scream and throw things. “Antidepressants May Impair Driving Ability, Research Finds” says one headline.

    Wow Deborah, it is so weird to find somebody that do crafts and …blue. Everybody is so happy with their lives, my DD, really?, I don’t even speak with her, my DH or hubby, well, mine left me with 2 babies, (2-3yo) for another woman, (he is separated again, and alone, ho ho ho), but I developed my late Dad illness, Depression, I go to the doctor, just because I cannot buy medication (any where I live), without a prescription, OK, she is the number 1,ooooo or more that I’ve had, but, what is the thing to go there?, has any doctor ever cure a mental disease?, no, they just keep us with a little hope, and there we fall again, up, down, I am not bipolar, so I am flat, or down, meaning, today I will stay in bed, or I will get up to the computer, oh my btw, I am now alone at the farm, away from everybody, since yesterday, and this place is known for the earthquakes, almost 10-15 in just 2 days, I am not scared, but just in case, I live in Chile, so if something happens here, remember me!!. There are 2 kinds of, for us, these ones are just a shake, for 1/2-1 min, a real one, is hold on because you can fall, or away from the windows,a mayor cathastrophy. See?, I am so scared of people, not by a real thing. I was once a very intelligent kid, just 15 yo I was studying my major in cell biology, I taught, researched with several int. publications, but, the dark thing came to me….now I do math with crochet, research a new stitch and speak with my yorkie.
    Sorry if I bother you, but things you mention, as driving, vitamins-minerals suplements, were things I have always done. Eating?, no, I just eat carbohidrates, as the pills make you feel anxius for, sugar, flour stuff, as spagettis, and now I am overweight, how long?, can’t say, then can come the anorexia and only my vit. minerals, water. Just to share, and at last somebody who knit so nice things and sad, at the same time. But, as now I am flat, I will go to eat my ..noodles soup..and continue with my socks while my medication takes me to a non-dream dream. Ruth
