. . . nights like this are the most fun you’ve had in months?
And what’s really pathetic: I have actually had worse dates than this, several in fact. Yes, they were worse dates than an evening spent in an emergency room getting stuck with needles because they couldn’t find a vein and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. Seriously!
I’ll explain later as it’s 2:00 and I need to write to my bosses and tell them I’ll be late in the morning.
Oh . . . and . . . Scorpio says hi. Believe it or not from the sound of things he’s had worse dates than tonight too. It’s a jungle out there I tell you!

Yikes. You’ve got me worried now. I hope it was an annoyance and not something too upsetting. I’ll be back to see, and I’ll be thinking of you.

Dear Hedonistic Pleasureseeker:
I CANNOT tell you the ending of Pan’s Labyrinth, it would be against my code of ethics regarding narrative surprise. You’ll have to see the whole thing. But of course Generalissimo Francisco Franco won the Spanish Civil War, so that’s sort of a hint.
I’m so sorry you ended up in the Emergency Room; I hope you’re all right now.
I always enjoy your posts.
yrs, B. Dagger Lee

Hello everyone!
I passed out in a movie theater: Turns out I was extremely weak and dehydrated. Then I quite inconveniently had an attack of diarrhea. How embarrassing!
Can you believe I FORGOT TO EAT yesterday? I just plumb forgot: I had breakfast but absolutely no appetite after that so I just tootled through the day not eating . . . not drinking . . . what? That, a half glass of wine, the fact that I just recently upped my meds, and my family history of syncope? Folks, I could have written that ending ahead of time. What was I thinking????
Anyway, Scorpio was a dear, practially carrying me to the ladies room and holding me over the toilet so that I wouldn’t soil myself. What a guy!

…… I’m not a Doctor of medicine-technically- but everone else in my family is, and every other person I know takes SSRI’s.
I really am pretty sure that you can’t just up and quadruple your Meds over night. maybe I’m misinformed.
anyways, glad you’re Ok.
give Scorpio a kiss for me.

Whoops, guess what I had for lunch yesterday? GRAPEFRUIT!!! From a drug interactions website:
http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Interaction/ChooseDrugs
1 potential interaction was found for the drugs you selected.
You searched for interactions between the following drugs:
* Zoloft
* Zyrtec
(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. )
SERTRALINE HYDROCHLORIDE (in Zoloft) may interact with GRAPEFRUIT JUICE
Sertraline is broken down in the body by the liver. Grapefruit may interfere with the liver’s ability to break down the sertraline, causing sertraline to remain in the body for a longer period of time. This could cause an increase in both the intended effect and the side effects of sertraline including nausea, dizziness, headaches, and sleep disturbances. Patients taking sertraline may want to avoid any type of grapefruit including its juice, the fruit itself, and any supplements that may contain grapefruit. You may drink other types of juices with sertraline. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.
This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity.

BTW Dan, I didn’t quadruple the Zoloft overnight! I doubled it every few days. When I told this to the ER doctor he was unconcerned and said it couldn’t possibly be the reason that I passed out!
However, alcohol and grapefruit intensify the effects of Zoloft, and I was dehydrated, and I have a family history of syncope (passing out due to blood pressure) so I’m not really surprised anymore that it happened.

Yes, the Count Z can be very nasty in certain combos & w/o eating & drinking normally. In any case I’m sure Scorpio got more excitement than he’s used to, and I’m sure he got points for this too. Glad to hear you’re doing a bit better. Cheers & God Luck! ‘VJ’
