This is just a general information post to the few people who may be interested, or whom this pertains to.

Andrew, as you may have noticed, has just started taking his medication again. He is taking 3 pills: Depakote, Paxil and some form of lithium which I don't know the brand of. I am not a doctor, so I couldn't tell you how these drugs interact. These were mentioned in Andrew's canon, and so that's what I'm going with. All of these are anti-depressant/anti-mania medications.

While Andrew is on his medication, expect him to be lucid, but generally apathetic and somewhat lethargic. He will not seem drunk, and he will be able to function normally, he will just appear disinterested in most everything. "So fucking numb," to quote him from the movie.

I'm going to be my meticulous pharmaceutical EMT-y bratcreature and say if you do need to know the interactions for any reason, I could easily tell you what they are. :)

Well, if it's that easy, hell yeah! Lay it on me!

[I must confess that I find the idea of Large going back on the antidepressives that his father so effectively shackled to his guilt to be incredibly ... well ... depressing.]

You're telling me. It was a difficult decision to put him back on them. *squeezes her Woobie*
