Dear Nichole:

50 mg Zoloft in the morning, good it is not in the evening, as last time prescribed to you. I used to take 400 mg Zoloft every morning for years, that is 8 times what you were prescribed, can you imagine that. It will probably work well for you and your depression will lessen in a couple weeks or so.

Interesting I was prescribed Klonipin, which is like Xanax, I think, anti anxiety, the same dosage you were prescribed, 1 mg 3 times per day, “when needed” in my case. Short term the Xanax will very likely help you a lot.

You will get out of Chicago soon enough, if this is what you want, maybe later this year, before heavy duty winter. Did you sign a lease on the apartment?

It is just after 8:30pm your time, I sure hope you sleep well after taking the ambien. I am very impressed with you that you persevered and did not knock on your brother/father’s door or your aunt’s or anyone else in your family. I think you beat your codependence. Don’t you think?
