birdie had another Episode. they put her on depacote this time.
stacy was on depacote for awhile. it was part of her cocktail.

"do you think i'm crazy?"
"no, stacy. i don't think you're crazy."
"do you think i need the medication?"
"i don't know. i've never seen you off medication."
"maybe i'll take myself off it. i can do that, you know."

last time birdie had an Episode, they put her on paxil. it made her shake like the homeless people downtown. emphatically. they took her off it again. (her mom kept the unused portion. she likes it a lot.) the depacote makes birdie nauseous. she has an ulcer, like everyone else, and it doesn't like pills. they might have to take her off this one and try again. next time she has an Episode.

(i'm going crazy too.)
