It was Christmas week of 1999. I was trying to date this college professor who, as they say nowadays, "just wasn't that into me". So I was alone all week while he was visiting family. I was probably googling (did google even exist then?) stuff on depression and found the meds page. I just lurked. I think I registered, but I lost my ID. For some reason started posting in 2001 as "Tabitha" which was my first cat's name. Can't even remember what was going on with me then. Oh yeah, I was probably lonely & struggling with depression. Hmmm kinda sounds like now.

Oddly enough I was looking for verification that my chosen method of suicide would work. I didn't find that, but I found babble instead in 2003.

I think you all know how I got here,so far I`ve loved every minute of it,everyone is so kind and helpful with their wisdom on how to cope with the torments of the mind.
I just wish Slinky had told me of this site, who knows,knowing what I know now,perhaps it may have given me more of a deeper insight as to her feelings and I may have been able to stop her doing what she did.Dave(Slinky`s old man)

> ..to babble? For me----well--back in 2001--I just Googled, "Side effects for Zyprexa"--and it took me to the Med board. That was my first babble experience. I am curious as to how others came to reside here. Any stories?
i lived in oklahoma and couldn't find any resources for withdrawal from effexorXR....my doctor was angry because i wasn't that enamoured with his skills and wouldn't help me. my pharamcist helped me taper...(i wasn't eating very often. lost 38 lbs. i'm 5' tall)
i googled "effexorXR withdrawl" and among other sites, i find Babble....

I was fresh out of the bin in 2000. While looking for med info on the net, I stumbled upon our beloved Babble. Just lurked for a while. Then on that fateful day in early 01 I decided to register....Since then I have met some truly amazing "crazies" here.(I say that with love)

I don't remember fer sure....but I think it was because I heard that somebody I regularly dealt with elsewhere had been blocked here, again......suggesting that the wild west of the Internet had a civilized node.....

> I stayed because of the people. Slinky and Mair and Pax and Willow and Mouse and Bobby. Krazy Kat, who if I remember correctly, shared my liking of hiding in the closet. Noa, who I thought was the very epitome of wisdom.
I'm *so* not a name person....I thank you for bring back these people to me. I hope they all are well.

I've been saying I've been here since 2002, but apparently I'm just a big fat liar because I just googled it and it was 2003. I think I lurked about a year before I actually posted though, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. I stumbled across babble by googling to find out if anyone else in the world was having these 'strange side effects' from Topamax.
Of course, if you know me you know I can't remember names worth a crap, but the one person I remember from way back then was PartlyCloudy. I was going through some hard times (imagine that!) and she said something that made me feel so much better I printed it out and hung it on the refrigerator door.
My first PBC was when there was this guy who was bashing all meds and making everyone mad, and I broke in and said, "Aww, come on, admit it. You're secretly Tom Cruise, right?" (this was in his more notorious couch jumping days). The guy actually thought it was pretty funny but I could see how if I could get away with that, then someone would go just a little bit further and just a little bit further and so on. So I apologized to the dude for accusing him of being Tom Cruise because, we "wouldn't want any one to feel put down".

I don't suppose I could persuade you to stay around and tell us how you're doing?
