lunabee341. While at his appointment to renew his Zoloft prescription, Josh had to submit to a pee test to prove he's not an oxycontin swilling methhead. WTF? It's ZOLOFT! This is a new policy; apparently SSRIs are now classified as controlled substances. Wow.
2. Josh took Fiona for her 18 month appointment today whereupon he learned that despite being almost entirely asymptomatic (no fever, no runny nose, no sleep or eating disruptions, playing and laughing and happy; she did cough a little the past few nights but that's not unusual for her)--SHE IS ON THE BORDERLINE OF HAVING PNEUMONIA! So today has been full of traumatic breathing treatments, and she's on Prednisone again. *sigh* I can't wait for the monster to be unleashed. *flails*

But Zoloft is an anti-depressant ala Prozac or something. It's not a narcotic at all. IDK what the deal is.
I wonder if this particular practice got in trouble for over prescribing or something.
