i have taken the plunge and i purchased the corally reddy orange tweedy yarn yesterday at work. i was wavering i must confess, for a lovely little tweedy green number kept whispering my name. however it was declared by the dearies at work i am always wearing green and i must branch out.
so i did
upon arrival home, Little Olive inspected the colour closely and declared it was tres jolly and most suited to a crochet knitty sweater vest. that is the grand thing about critters, they are always on your side and always optimistic about things. we could learn a lot from little critters i am thinking
i sat down and quite frighteningly did the maths (maths not being my forte), i checked it thrice, not twice. i pondered the arm holes and the neckline, after some pondering and a bit of planning, decided that will come later, for now the most important thing was to cast on the correct amount of stitches to make the rib work out (and fit my bod) and then the crochet stitch pattern i wished to do, fit also with the number of stitches of rib (and fit my bod).
again i wavered... i noted Mr Doubter in the corner, smiling happily to himself, i told him, "not today Mr Doubter, no sirree!" and i plunged again, the second time in one day, into casting on my stitches
as the rows grew, so did my doubt, i noted Mr Doubter had moved a little closer. my man then exclaimed upon arrival home, "are you working on hair band?" alarmed by this question, i told him what it was to become, he looked a little doubtful and asked "will it fit?" i then decided to ignore both him and Mr Doubter and told myself their knowledge on yarny matters was quite sketchy and i must trust my inner crafty soul and that the yarny gods were guiding me wisely.
this morn i have high hopes the waistband will fit, i have banished Mr Doubter once and for all and as soon as the rib is finished and Mr Hook comes into play i will be able to try it on. although half of me does not wish to, for if it does not fit i will have to go back to square one and i do not wish to do so. i tell myself only a fool of the utmost kind would think such a thing, surely it is better to rip back and start again now rather than ending up with a crochet knitty sweater vest suitable only for a small being or little critter
footynote: next week i will be rambling on about other things than yarn, "about time too!" i hear you cry, "point taken," says i

Kenya is electing a new president on Tuesday. And one of the four candidates is promising to transform the country by legalizing marijuana, hanging corrupt politicians and exporting hyena testicles. His long-shot campaign is rife with comedy, but it might also signal a different kind of politics in the country. NPR's Eyder Peralta reports.
EYDER PERALTA, BYLINE: George Wajackoyah enters the town, sticking out from the sunroof of an SUV. And as soon as the people of Mwea realize what's happening, they run to catch up to him.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: (Non-English language spoken).
PERALTA: Wajackoyah is a respected human rights lawyer, but he became an overnight celebrity when he announced his run for president. Now he wears a silk do-rag and a big gold watch. He tells the crowd it's time to choose a new direction, not influenced by religion or by politicians. And he offers one huge solution.
GEORGE WAJACKOYAH: We have to change our mindsets to look at the economics and fix those economics. And the only way to fix our economics is by growing weed.
PERALTA: As he drives away, you feel euphoria weave through the little fruit stands on the side of the road. I turn to a group of teenage girls enthralled by the pot president. I ask why they like him, and they answer by pretending to take a hit of a joint.
Because of the weed?
UNIDENTIFIED PEOPLE: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: And he will bring us money.
PERALTA: He'll bring you money?
UNIDENTIFIED PEOPLE: Yes.
PERALTA: The adults next to them push them out of the way. Maureen Kaonda says Wajackoyah isn't talking about smoking.
MAUREEN KAONDA: (Speaking Swahili).
PERALTA: Simon Machira, who is 57, agrees wholeheartedly.
SIMON MACHIRA: The Kenyan government have tried with the tea plantation, with the cotton plantation and any other plantation. But it has not borne fruit.
PERALTA: Years of government promises, and they're still poor. Maybe, he says, it's time to try weed.
NGALA CHOME: These are comical suggestions, but they are all tied to the economy still.
PERALTA: That is political analyst Ngala Chome at Sahan Research. He says Wajackoyah's campaign is part of something new in Kenya. In the past, politics has centered around tribalism. But this time, with high inflation, fuel shortages and high unemployment, the economy is the more powerful message. And even a fringe candidate, like Wajackoyah, can feel that.
CHOME: He's tapping to that emotion of people who are in debt, people who are basically broke.
PERALTA: Chome says he's doubtful any of these promises will come true. But the good thing is that for the first time, he says, politicians are being forced to think about the issues Kenyans most care about.
I catch up with Wajackoyah at a restaurant down the road from the rally, which is already playing some reggae. And he rattles off solutions - selling hyena testicles to China, selling medical marijuana to Israel, starting snake venom farms. If he were president, he says, he would put all corrupt politicians on trial, including the president and the two front-runners in this election.
WAJACKOYAH: African problems can be sorted. It's very simple. That's why I'm telling even the president. I'm telling Raila Odinga. I'm telling Ruto. The money you have stolen - return it. Otherwise, I'm going to kill you.
PERALTA: You're presenting a very simple solution to an extremely complex problem. Are you giving Kenyans false hope?
WAJACKOYAH: It's not false hope. Mine is the rule of law, just like they do it in Philippines, just like they do it in China.
PERALTA: I point out that both the Philippines and China have atrocious human rights records.
WAJACKOYAH: Why would you be stealing, and then I take you to court? Then, yes, you finish. Oh, human rights, human - human rights, my ass. Come on. Let us liberate our country first. Then we can now do what we have to do.
PERALTA: It'll be very easy, he promises.

NOTE: Delivery of torque to the ground and top speed depends on tire size, which is a function of nominal size and pressure.How the variable-speed drive works:
Operator interface features:
Transaxle features:
NOTE: Differential design reduces scuffing of the turf during turns because it allows the inside wheels to turn slower than the outside wheels.
MFWD features:

This Gator™ XUV Crossover Utility Vehicle is equipped with power steering and a dual A-arm front suspension. These automotive-type systems exhibit excellent handling characteristics, as well as responsive steering and low steering effort:
Electric power-assist steering (EPAS) system has advanced features:
With the EPAS system, the operator maintains a direct mechanical linkage from the steering wheel to the front wheels. The power steering system interfaces mechanically with the steering system by being inserted between the steering wheel and the rack-and-pinion assembly.A differential torque sensor is integrated into the power steering assembly. The circuit board assembly is also integral with the power steering assembly.Power steering does not reduce turning radius but significantly reduces steering effort by approximately 85 percent compared to models without power steering.
The numbered descriptions refer to the EPAS interface diagram shown above:
The M trim adds electrical power-assist steering (EPAS) and brings in the main wiring harness for easier attachment hook-up. Cabs are available in this trim level. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is also an option within the M-trim level.

Thomas Rhett Honors 'Sesame Street' at 2019 Kennedy Center Honors
Thomas Rhett joined in the celebration at the 2019 Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C., which aired Sunday (Dec. 15), helping to pay tribute to the legacy of the classic children's TV show, Sesame Street.
The show, lauded by actor Lucy Liu as an "unlikely marriage of academic research and creative genius," introduced Rhett whimsically with all the characters in attendance.
"Elmo, I have a good idea,,,Why don't we introduce the next guest together?" inquired Liu to the beloved red puppet. "Oh! Yeah, Ms. Lucy! We can co-op-er-ate. Yes, just like on Sesame Street," crowed Elmo. "Oh, can Elmo start, please? And now please welcome ACM Male Vocalist of the Year... Mr. Thomas Rhett!"
Rhett, who is no stranger to Sesame Street, was right at home greeting his buddy. "Elmo, how are you?" he asked. "I've been on a lot of roads touring and playing music. But there is no street quite like Sesame Street. Yeah, it's pretty special. Come on, guys. Let's sing 'em a song."
That they did, with Rhett belting out "I want to go to that street where kindness is the way/ Learn new things each and every single day/ See the whole gang and never, never go away, yeah, never go away...'Cause this is my street... Sesame Street."
The Muppets weren't content with just that, however, launching into the classic "Sing a Song," which had everyone in the audience singing out loud and long, "La, la, la la la...La, la, la la la!"
Michael Tilson Thomas, Earth, Wind & Fire and Linda Ronstadt were also among the 2019 Kennedy Center honorees, and several other country stars were on hand to honor Ronstadt's contribution to various forms of popular music.
Trisha Yearwood honored Ronstadt by performing "You're No Good" and "I Don't Know Much," the latter of which featured Aaron Neville. Carrie Underwood took the Kennedy Center stage to perform "Blue Bayou" and "When Will I Be Loved," and she lavished praise on 73-year-old Ronstadt on the red carpet before the ceremony.
"One of the things I always admired about her is her ability to do whatever she wants. She always broke the rules and sang music that she felt like was true to her," Underwood observed (quotes via CNN).
"She was a chameleon," Underwood stated. "She loved music and she sang so many different kinds and genres. She wanted to sing country music, rock music, she would sing Spanish. She is just somebody I think the rest of us should all be more like."
The 2019 Kennedy Center Honors took place at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 8, and aired Sunday (Dec. 15) on CBS.

When Phish concluded 1995 with a peak performance at Madison Square Garden on New Year's Eve, nobody in their fanbase could have predicted that the band would return to the same room, two years to the day, and sound diametrically different. In fact, the same could be said for the their two-night MSG stand that nearly bisected these year-end holiday shows in late-October of 1996. There was still no hint as to the band's oncoming metamorphosis, despite the fact that it would start in just over a week. In just the opposite vain, the band, for the first time in their career, had downshifted into a stylistic neutral following the end of their crowing year of '95. That's not to say didn't play great shows. Virtually the entirety of their short US Summer Tour were standout shows. The Red Rocks, Deer Creek and Clifford Ball runs were stuff the of legend (and still are), while Hershey has come to light over the years as a show on the level with any of them. The only standard performances that aren't still discussed today were their stateside return at Wolf Mountain, and Alpine Valley. But despite these standout Summer shows, Phish was treading stylistic water. They were riding out the wave of fast-paced psych rock that had delivered them to The World's Most Famous Arena on the biggest night of the year, but they didn't quite possess the same full-throttle nature as the previous Fall. Having only played a handful of headlining gigs in Europe while opening for Carlos Santana earlier in July, and with a resultingly truncated US Summer, they hadn't had much on-stage time to develop a new direction before the start of Fall.
Phish released their sixth album, Billy Breathes, the day before kicking off Fall Tour '96 in Lake Placid. And as they set out in support of this album (whose songs were virtually all live staples already), their shows—in retrospect—were pretty uninspired. This may seem hard to believe, but in the 11 shows that pre-date Halloween on Fall Tour, there are but three jams with all-time musical value eighteen years later—Pittsburgh's "Maze," Charlotte's "Simple," and Tallahassee's "Mike's Song" (whose treasure lies in its sub rosa rehearsal of Talking Heads' "Houses in Motion"). That's slim pickings for twenty-two sets of Phish, regardless of what year it is! Only two months removed from a stellar Summer run, Phish's sense of purpose had faded and their shows were suffering.
But then came Halloween. A proverbial shot in the arm if there ever was one, Phish's musical costume of the Talking Heads on October 31 in Atlanta, forever changed the course of their career. To learn "Remain in Light" for their third Halloween set, the band had to embrace a percussive style of groove-based playing with which they had only flirted. Composed with a far more democratic style Phish was used to up through 1995, "Remain in Light" gave the band a new way of looking at improvisation. This seminal performance was the first brick in the road to the band's funk-based paradigm shift of 1997. But five weeks of Fall Tour still remained!
And in these last five weeks, Phish's new direction began emerge. The tempo of many jams slowed down. Trey became more and more enamored with his wah pedal, playing sparse and chunky chords structures for his band mates retort. Highlights began to bubble up at a far quicker rate—inspiration was clearly afoot—and they sounded far different than the music before Halloween. The thick grooves that we would come to know so well started to seep into Phish's repertoire slowly but surely over the rest of Fall. This time period represents the beginning of a process that culminate on that fateful night in Hamburg, Germany, March 1, 1997—commemorated on "Slip, Stitch and Pass"—when everything "clicked" for the band, and they had fully realized their new direction.
During a 1998 interview with David Byrne, himself, for Sessions at West 54th St., Page looked back on Halloween '96 and noted:
It may have had the biggest effect on us because we really learned the grooves and we really tried to get inside the grooves on the album…I took so much away from that. And the groove-oriented playing that we've done in the last few years – repetition, pulling things out, putting them back – all that sort of thing, a lot of it was from learning [Remain In Light].
The point of today's playlist is to bridge the gap between Halloween and the the Hamburg's March 1st arrival. I have selected tracks with which you can track the band's stylistic progression over this time. Enjoy the selections. (And forgive the repetition of songs, there were only so many jams they were taking in this direction.)
"Crosseyed > Antelope" 11.2.96 II, West Palm Beach, FL
The band was so amped about their Halloween set that they brought "Crosseyed"—and the whole Talking Heads style of jamming—directly to their next show. The results were legendary.
"Tweezer" 11.3.96 II, Gainesville, FL
Still with Karl Perazzo, acting as training wheels for their first excursions into full-blown groove, Phish continued their percussive style of play with this "Tweezer."
"Mike's Song" 11.6.96 II, Knoxville, TN
After a more conventional and high quality "Mike's" jam (some with Trey on mini-kit), the band breaks into an extended section of collaborative funk grooves, bobbing and weaving through some straight James Brown steez! This jam illustrates just how gargantuan of a pivot point that Halloween truly was, as only a week later, the band's jamming sounds completely different.
"Tweezer" 11.11.96 II, Grand Rapids, MI
Here's a "Tweezer" I've featured a lot before that sounds like it could be plucked from some point in '97. Only 11 days after Halloween and the band was already turning the party out with dance music funkier than they had ever played before.
"Suzy Greenberg" 11.13.96 II, Minneapolis, MN
In between more torrid musical bookends to this long-form jam, Phish slows down into some serious wah-funk.
"Tweezer" 11.18.96 II, Memphis, TN
Gary Gazaway sits in on trumpet for this slowed down and swanky "Tweezer" jam. A cool diversion from the norm, but underneath Gazaway's soloing, the band is plugging away at thick, collaborative grooves.
"Tweezer" 11.27.96 II, Seattle, WA
Within this standout "Tweezer" jam (and even within the composed song) you can feel the oncoming funk train slowly moving in. The pace has slowed and the music is thick. Toto, "Are we still in '96?"
"Mike's Song" 12.4.96 II, San Diego, CA
In this "Mike's," Trey starts in with the wah feel early in the first jam, and then again about ten minutes into this monster "Mike's" jam, the band shifts into a very forward-looking musical feel without losing the harder edge of "Mike's."
"2001" 12.6.96 I, Las Vegas, NV
From the first set of Fall Tour's finale, this is one of the very first jammed out "2001s," and none had reached this length or absolute smoothness.
"Down With Disease" 2.17.97 II, Amsterdam, NL
I can still remember hearing this tape for the first time in college and thinking, "Who is this band?!" with beaming excitement. In this gooey "Disease," the band is honing in on Cowfunk.
"2001" 2.18.97 II, Paris, FR
While this version may sound relatively common place after all these years, in the Winter of '97, it was blazing a funkwards path.
"Down With Disease" 2.21.97 I, Florence, IT
Phish had begun to shift jam vehicles already, shying from "Mike's" a tad more and leaning towards "Disease." This version from Florence is brniging the band closer and closer to the goal of their collaborative quest. This one is an under the radar, first set gem.

Slots are one of the most popular casino games that offer more payouts compared to the other casino games of roulette, blackjack, poker etc. A slot machine is often referred to as a fruit machine or a poker machine. Sometimes a slot machine is also termed as a one-armed bandit. Charles Fey first invented the one-armed bandit. Initially he designed the machine with three spinning reels and five symbols comprising diamonds, hearts, spades, horseshoes and a liberty bell.
Later many improvements were made to Fey's machine. the WMS Industries Inc developed the first video ซุปเปอร์ สล็อต 100 machine, which gave the facility of winning an additional payout. Instead of the usual three spinning reels, an online video slot comprises five reels. Unlike the three reel versions, which offer only one payline, an online video slot can offer as many as nine paylines. These can also have several other symbols such as wild symbols, multipliers and scatter symbols. Most popular themes used in online video slots are Easter Slots, Halloween Slots, Tomb Raider, Christmas Slots, Hitman etc.
A slot machine has a random number generator that constantly generates numbers. The numbers are automatically generated even when the machine is not in use. As soon as you start playing the machine displays the most recent numbers that would determine the result of the game.
Slots games have been an all time popular game to casino goers. With the introduction of online slots casinos it has become easier. Some such casinos encourage players to play on the website for which you do not have to download anything. There are some online casino sites where you need to download the game software on your computer to participate in it.
As a beginner you can play these casino games just for fun online. As you hone your gambling skills and gain confidence you can try out real money games. Initially it can be a bit confusing deciding the right casino for you. Websites with slots reviews will feature games with the highest payouts and the best online videos. If you are depositing real money to your player's account then it is always better to go for online slots with highest payout. While playing online video slots choose an authentic site and also check the payouts. At some casinos you will be encouraged to take the risk of doubling or quadrupling the whole amount.
Bonuses in a slots game generally depend on the game you have chosen to play. They are issued when a winning combination demonstrates a set of symbols. Sometimes bonuses in a game are given as a session of free spins. In some rounds, a player may be asked to choose an item from a number of options displayed on the screen. The bonus amount is rewarded as soon as the player makes their selection.

The use of helmets by motorcycle riders not only saves lives -- it saves money too, according to a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In fact, annual cost savings in states with universal motorcycle helmet laws were nearly four times greater (per registered motorcycle) than in states without these comprehensive laws. Universal helmet laws require that motorcycle riders and passengers wear a helmet every time they ride.
Big savings
Annual costs saved from helmet use -- in terms of medical, productivity and other costs -- ranged from a high of $394 million in California (which has a universal helmet law) to a low of $2.6 million in New Mexico (which has a partial law). Partial helmet laws require that only certain riders, such as those under age 21, wear a helmet.
Universal helmet laws result in cost savings by increasing helmet use among riders and passengers, which reduces crash-related injuries and deaths. According to a CDC analysis of fatal crash data from 2008 to 2010, 12 percent of motorcyclists in states with universal helmet laws were not wearing helmets.
In comparison, 64 percent of riders were not wearing helmets in states with partial helmet laws, and 79 percent of riders were not wearing helmets in states with no helmet laws.
"Increasing motorcycle helmet use can save lives and money," said CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. "In 2010, more than $3 billion in economic costs were saved due to helmet use in the United States. Another $1.4 billion could have been saved if all motorcyclists had worn helmets."
Life savers
Helmets prevent 37 percent of crash deaths among riders and 41 percent among passengers. They also prevent 13 percent of serious injuries and 8 percent of minor injuries to riders and passengers.
For the study, CDC researchers analyzed data from two national sources: 2008-2010 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data and 2010 data on economic costs saved by motorcycle helmet use -- both from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Fatal crash data from FARS provide an accurate means of determining in each state whether riders wore helmets at the time of these severe crashes. Cost savings estimates included medical and emergency services costs, work-related and household productivity losses, insurance administration costs, and legal costs resulting from deaths and injuries from motorcycle crashes.
Universal helmet laws are the most effective strategy for increasing helmet use and protecting motorcycle riders and their passengers. As of May 2012, 19 states and the District of Columbia had universal helmet laws, 28 states had partial helmet laws, and three states had no helmet law.
New safety guide
CDC is also releasing an updated version of Motorcycle Safety: How To Save Lives and Save Money (Motorcycle Safety Guide), designed to convey evidence-based motorcycle safety information in an easy-to-use format.
"It's simple advice -- wear a helmet to save your life. Motorcycling is fun and provides riders a sense of freedom, but that also brings responsibility to use proper safety equipment, including helmets," said Linda C. Degutis, Dr. P.H., M.S.N., director of CDC's Injury Center.
CDC encourages motorcycle riders to:
- Always wear a helmet.
- Never ride a motorcycle after drinking.
- Wear protective clothing that provides some level of injury protection.
- Avoid tailgating.
- Maintain a safe speed and exercise caution when traveling over slippery surfaces or gravel.

Back to Health to A-Z
Antidepressents are a type of medication used to treat Clinical depression.
They can also be used to treat a number of other conditions including:
Antidepressants are also sometimes used to treat people with long-term (chronic) pain.
It's not known exactly how antidepressants work.
It is thought they work by increasing the levels of chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. Certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and noradrenaline, are linked to mood and emotion.
Neurotransmitters may also affect pain signals sent by nerves, which may explain why some antidepressants can help relieve long-term pain.
While antidepressants can treat the symptoms of depression, they do not always address its causes. This is why they are usually used in combination with therapy to treat more severe depression or other mental health conditions.
Research suggests that antidepressants can be helpful for people with moderate or severe depression.
They're not usually recommended for mild depression, unless other treatments like therapy have not helped.
Antidepressants are usually taken in tablet form. When they're prescribed, you'll start on the lowest possible dose thought necessary to improve your symptoms.
Antidepressants usually need to be taken for 1 or 2 weeks (without missing a dose) before the benefit starts to be felt. It's important not to stop taking them if you get some mild side effects early on, as these effects usually wear off quickly.
If you take an antidepressant for 4 weeks without feeling any benefit, speak to your GP or mental health specialist. They may recommend increasing your dose or trying an alternative medicine.
A course of treatment usually lasts at least 6 months after you start to feel better. Some people with recurrent depression may be advised to take them indefinitely.
Different antidepressants can have a range of different side effects. Always check the information leaflet that comes with your medicine to see what the possible side effects are.
The most common side effects of antidepressants are usually mild. Side effects should improve within a few days or weeks of treatment, as the body gets used to the medicine.
Talk to your doctor before you stop taking antidepressants. It's important that you do not stop taking antidepressants suddenly.
Once you're ready to come off antidepressants, your doctor will probably recommend reducing your dose gradually over several weeks – or longer, if you have been taking them for a long time.
This is to help prevent any withdrawal symptoms you might get as a reaction to coming off the medicine.
There are several different types of antidepressants.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
SSRIs are the most widely prescribed type of antidepressants. They're usually preferred over other antidepressants, as they cause fewer side effects. An overdose is also less likely to be serious.
Fluoxetine is probably the best known SSRI (sold under the brand name Prozac). Other SSRIs include citalopram (Cipramil), escitalopram (Cipralex), paroxetine (Seroxat) and sertraline (Lustral).
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
SNRIs are similar to SSRIs. They were designed to be a more effective antidepressant than SSRIs. However, the evidence that SNRIs are more effective in treating depression is uncertain. It seems some people respond better to SSRIs, while others respond better to SNRIs.
Examples of SNRIs include duloxetine (Cymbalta and Yentreve) and venlafaxine (Efexor).
Noradrenaline and specific serotonergic antidepressants (NASSAs)
NASSAs may be effective for some people who are unable to take SSRIs. The side effects of NASSAs are similar to those of SSRIs, but they're thought to cause fewer sexual problems. However, they may also cause more drowsiness at first.
The main NASSA prescribed in the UK is mirtazapine (Zispin).
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)
TCAs are an older type of antidepressants. They are no longer usually recommended as the first treatment for depression because they can be more dangerous if an overdose is taken. They also cause more unpleasant side effects than SSRIs and SNRIs.
Exceptions are sometimes made in people with severe depression that fails to respond to other treatments. TCAs may also be recommended for other mental health conditions such as OCD and bipolar disorder.
Examples of TCAs include amitriptyline, clomipramine, dosulepin, imipramine, lofepramine and nortriptyline.
Some types of TCAs, such as amitriptyline, can also be used to treat chronic nerve pain.
Serotonin antagonists and reuptake inhibitors (SARIs)
SARIs are not usually the first choice of antidepressant, but they may be prescribed if other antidepressants have not worked or have caused side effects.
The main SARI prescribed in the UK is trazodone (Molipaxin).
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
MAOIs are an older type of antidepressant that are rarely used nowadays.
They can cause potentially serious side effects so should only be prescribed by a specialist doctor.
Examples of MAOIs include tranylcypromine, phenelzine and isocarboxazid.
Other treatments for depression include talking therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
Increasingly, people with moderate to severe depression are usually treated using a combination of antidepressants and CBT. Antidepressants work quickly in reducing symptoms, whereas CBT takes time to deal with causes of depression and ways of overcoming it.
Regular exercise has also been shown to be useful for those with mild depression.
The Yellow Card Scheme allows you to report suspected side effects from any type of medicine you're taking. It's run by a medicines safety watchdog called the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
See the Yellow Card Scheme website for more information.
The main use for antidepressants is treating clinical depression in adults. They're also used for other mental health conditions and treatment of long-term pain.
In most cases, adults with moderate to severe depression are given antidepressants as a first form of treatment. They're often prescribed along with a talking therapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is a type of therapy that uses a problem-solving approach to help improve thought, mood and behaviour.
Antidepressants are not always recommended for treating mild depression because research has found limited effectiveness.
However, antidepressants are sometimes prescribed for a few months for mild depression to see if you experience any improvement in your symptoms. If you don't see any benefits in this time, the medicine will be slowly withdrawn.
Initially, a type of antidepressant called a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) is usually prescribed. If your symptoms have not improved after about 4 weeks, an alternative antidepressant may be recommended or your dose may be increased.
Many antidepressants can be prescribed by your GP, but some types can only be used under the supervision of a mental health professional. If the depression does not respond to antidepressants alone, other treatments such as CBT may also be used to help achieve better results. They may also give higher doses of the medicine.
Children and young people with moderate to severe depression should first be offered a course of psychotherapy (talking therapy) that lasts for at least 3 months.
In some cases, an SSRI called fluoxetine may be offered in combination with psychotherapy to treat moderate to severe depression in young people aged 12-18.
Antidepressants can also be used to help treat other mental health conditions, including:
As with depression, SSRIs are usually the first choice of treatment for these conditions. If SSRIs prove ineffective, another type of antidepressant can be used.
Even though a type of antidepressant called tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) were not originally designed to be painkillers, there's evidence to suggest they're effective in treating long-term (chronic) nerve pain in some people.
Chronic nerve pain, also known as neuropathic pain, is caused by nerve damage or other problems with the nerves, and is often unresponsive to regular painkillers, such as paracetamol.
Amitriptyline is a TCA that's usually used to treat neuropathic pain. Conditions that may benefit from treatment with amitriptyline include:
Antidepressants have also been used to treat cases of chronic pain that do not involve nerves (non-neuropathic pain). However, they're thought to be less effective for this purpose. As well as TCAs, SSRIs and serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) can also be used to treat chronic non-neuropathic pain.
Conditions that cause non-neuropathic pain which may benefit from treatment with antidepressants include fibromyalgia, chronic back pain and chronic neck pain.
Tricylic antidepressants (TCAs) are sometimes used to treat bedwetting in children, if other treatments have not worked.
They can help relax the muscles of the bladder. This increases bladder capacity and reduces the urge to urinate.
There are several important things to consider when taking antidepressants. You should discuss these with a GP or mental health professional.
Antidepressants can react unpredictably with other medicines, including some over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine to see if there are any medicines you should avoid.
If in doubt, your pharmacist or GP should be able to advise you.
As a precaution, antidepressants are not usually recommended for most pregnant women, especially during the early stages of a pregnancy.
This is because they might be dangerous for you or your baby.
But it's important that depression is well treated because it can affect both you and your baby's wellbeing. Depression and anxiety can sometimes get worse during pregnancy and after your baby is born.
Speak to your doctor, who will help you understand the risks and benefits so you can decide on the best treatment for you and your baby.
Some antidepressants can be taken while breastfeeding if your doctor or health visitor says your baby is healthy.
The use of antidepressants is not usually recommended in children and young people under the age of 18. This is because there is some evidence that, in rare cases, they can trigger thoughts about suicide and acts of self-harm in this age group.
Antidepressants are not recommended for the initial treatment of mild depression in children and young people.
For moderate to severe depression, antidepressants may be used if both the following apply:
You should be wary of drinking alcohol if you're taking antidepressants, as alcohol is itself a depressant and drinking alcohol can make your symptoms worse.
If you drink alcohol while taking types of antidepressants called tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), you may become drowsy and dizzy.
You're less likely to experience unpleasant or unpredictable effects if you drink alcohol while taking an SSRI or a serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant, but avoiding alcohol is often still recommended.
The use of illegal drugs is not recommended if you're taking antidepressants, particularly if you've been prescribed a TCA. This is because they can cause unpredictable and unpleasant effects.
In particular, you should avoid taking:
As with alcohol, illegal drugs can make symptoms of depression or other mental health conditions worse.
You should only take 2 different types of antidepressants, such as an SSRI and a TCA, if a doctor advises you to. This is because taking certain combinations of antidepressants can make you feel very ill and can be life-threatening.
If a decision is taken to switch you from a particular type to another, the dosage of the first antidepressant will usually be gradually reduced before the second is started.
St John's Wort is a popular herbal remedy promoted for the treatment of depression.
While there's evidence of its effectiveness, many experts advise against its use, because the amount of active ingredient varies among individual brands and batches, making the effects unpredictable.
Taking St John's Wort with other medicines, such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, anticoagulants and the contraceptive pill, can also cause serious health problems.
You shouldn't take St John's Wort if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, as it's unclear whether it's safe.
Some antidepressants can cause dizziness, drowsiness and blurred vision, particularly when you first start taking them.
If you do experience these problems, you should not drive or use tools and machinery.
SSRIs may not be suitable if you have:
SNRIs may not be suitable if you have a history of heart disease or you have poorly controlled high blood pressure (hypertension).
TCAs may not be suitable if you have:
When prescribing antidepressants, a GP usually selects the lowest possible dose thought necessary to improve your symptoms.
This approach is intended to reduce the risk of side effects. If this dose does not work, it can be gradually increased.
Antidepressants are usually taken in tablet form. Depending on the type of antidepressant prescribed and the severity of your depression, you may have to take 1 to 3 tablets a day.
It usually takes around 7 days before you begin to notice the effects of antidepressants. Contact your doctor if you have not noticed any improvement after 4 weeks, as they may recommend increasing your dose or trying a different antidepressant.
It's usually recommended that a course of antidepressants continues for at least 6 months after you feel better, to prevent your condition recurring when you stop. Some people with recurrent illness are advised to carry on taking medicine indefinitely.
The recommended course of treatment largely depends on weighing up the benefits of the medication against the side effects. If your illness is severe and the medicine is effective, treatment will often be continued. If your illness is mild and the medication does not help and causes side effects, continued treatment will not be recommended.
It's important not to miss any of your doses, as this could make your treatment less effective.
You may also get withdrawal symptoms as a result of missing a dose of the medicine.
If you do miss 1 of your doses skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose you missed.
If you take more tablets than prescribed, contact your GP or NHS 111 Wales as soon as possible for advice.
This is to help prevent any withdrawal symptoms you might get as a reaction to coming off the medicine. These include:
Withdrawal symptoms are often mild and get better on their own. However, some people have withdrawal symptoms that are severe and last for several months or more.
Coming off antidepressants too soon can cause your condition to return. Stopping before you have been taking them for 4 weeks may mean the medicine has not had a chance to work.
The side effects of antidepressants can cause problems at first, but they generally improve with time.
It's important to continue treatment, even if you're affected by side effects, as it will take several weeks before you begin to benefit from treatment. With time, you should find that the benefits of treatment outweigh any problems from side effects.
During the first few months of treatment, you'll usually see your doctor or a specialist nurse at least once every 2 to 4 weeks to see how well the medicine is working.
For more information about your specific medicine, see the patient information leaflet that comes with it.
Common side effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) can include:
These side effects should improve within a few weeks, although some can occasionally persist.
Common side effects of TCAs can include:
The side effects should ease after a couple of weeks as your body begins to get used to the medicine.
Serotonin syndrome
Serotonin syndrome is an uncommon, but potentially serious, set of side effects linked to SSRIs and SNRIs.
Serotonin syndrome occurs when the levels of a chemical called serotonin in your brain become too high. It's usually triggered when you take an SSRI or SNRI in combination with another medicine (or substance) that also raises serotonin levels, such as another antidepressant or St John's Wort.
Symptoms of serotonin syndrome can include:
If you experience these symptoms, you should stop taking the medicine and get immediate advice from your GP or specialist. If this is not possible call NHS 111 Wales.
Symptoms of severe serotonin syndrome include:
If you experience symptoms of severe serotonin syndrome, get emergency medical help immediately by dialling 999 to ask for an ambulance.
Elderly people who take antidepressants, particularly those who take SSRIs, may experience a severe fall in sodium (salt) levels, known as hyponatraemia. This may lead to a build-up of fluid inside the cells of the body, which can be potentially dangerous.
This can happen because SSRIs can block the effects of a hormone that regulates levels of sodium and fluid in the body. Elderly people are vulnerable because fluid levels become more difficult for the body to regulate as people age.
Mild hyponatraemia can cause symptoms similar to depression or side effects of antidepressants, such as:
More severe hyponatraemia can cause:
The most serious cases of hyponatraemia can cause you to stop breathing or enter a coma.
If you suspect mild hyponatraemia, you should call your GP for advice and stop taking SSRIs for the time being.
If you suspect severe hyponatraemia, call 999 and ask for an ambulance.
Hyponatraemia can be treated by feeding a sodium solution into the body through an intravenous drip.
Long-term use of SSRIs and TCAs has been linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, although it's not clear if the use of these antidepressants directly causes diabetes to develop.
It may be that the weight gain some people using antidepressants experience increases the risk of them developing type 2 diabetes.
Suicidal thoughts
In rare cases, some people experience suicidal thoughts and a desire to self-harm when they first take antidepressants. Young people under 25 seem particularly at risk.
Contact your GP, or go to A&E immediately, if you have thoughts of killing or harming yourself at any time while taking antidepressants.
It may be useful to tell a relative or close friend if you've started taking antidepressants and ask them to read the leaflet that comes with your medicines. You should then ask them to tell you if they think your symptoms are getting worse, or if they're worried about changes in your behaviour.
Several treatments can be used instead of antidepressants for treating depression and other mental health conditions.
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy that is increasingly being used in the treatment of depression. Most experts recommend that people with moderate to severe depression are treated with a combination of CBT and antidepressants.
However, if you are unable or unwilling to take antidepressants, you have the option of receiving CBT on its own.
CBT helps you understand your thoughts and behaviour, and how they affect you. It helps you recognise that events in your past may have affected you, but it concentrates mostly on how you can change the way you think, feel and behave in the present. It also teaches you how to overcome negative thoughts.
CBT is usually available on the NHS, although the waiting lists are usually long. You normally have a short course of sessions, usually 6 to 8 sessions, over 10 to 12 weeks, on a 1-to-1 basis with a therapist trained in CBT. In some cases, you may be offered group CBT.
Online CBT
Computerised or online CBT is a form of CBT that works through a computer screen, rather than face-to-face with a therapist.
These therapies can be prescribed by your GP or a mental health specialist and are carried out with their advice and support.
Ask your GP for more information about self-help therapies.
Interpersonal therapy (IPT)
Interpersonal therapy (IPT) focuses on your relationships with other people and on problems you may be having in your relationships, such as difficulties with communication or coping with bereavement.
A course of IPT is usually structured in the same way as a course of CBT.
There's some evidence that IPT can be as effective as antidepressants or CBT, but more research is needed.
Counselling is a form of therapy that helps you think about the problems you're experiencing in your life to find new ways of dealing with them. Counsellors support you in finding solutions to problems, but do not tell you what to do.
Counselling on the NHS usually consists of 6 to 12 sessions lasting an hour each. You talk in confidence to a counsellor, who supports you and offers practical advice.
Counselling is ideal for people who are healthy but need help coping with a current crisis, such as anger, relationship issues, bereavement, redundancy, infertility or the onset of a serious illness.
Talking therapies on the NHS
You can get talking therapies like counselling for depression and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) on the NHS.
You can refer yourself directly to an NHS talking therapies service without a referral from a GP.
Research suggests that regular exercise may be a more effective treatment for mild depression than antidepressants.
Exercise helps boost levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain, which can lift your mood.
Exercising on a regular basis can boost self-esteem and confidence which can help to relieve symptoms of depression.
Your GP may be able to refer you via the National Exercise Referral Scheme, a partnership with the Local Authorities and the NHS in Wales.
Talking through your feelings can be helpful. You can either talk to a friend or relative, or you can ask your GP to suggest a local self-help group. The Health Wellbeing and Support local services search is also a useful place to look for self-help groups that are local to you. There are also chat rooms that offer support.
If you've tried several different antidepressants and seen no improvement, your doctor may offer you a medicine called lithium, in addition to your current treatment.
If the level of lithium in your blood becomes too high, it can become toxic. So, you'll need blood tests every few months to check your lithium levels while you're taking it.
You'll also need to avoid eating a low-salt diet because this can also cause the lithium to become toxic. Ask your GP for advice about your diet.
Side effects of lithium include:
These side effects usually pass with time once your body gets used to the medicine.
Sometimes a treatment called electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may be recommended if you have severe depression and other treatments have not worked, as it can be highly effective.
During ECT, you'll first be given an anaesthetic and medicine to relax your muscles. Then you'll receive an electric current to your brain through electrodes placed on your head.
You may be given a series of ECT sessions. It's usually given twice a week for 3 to 6 weeks.
It's not exactly clear how ECT works, but recent studies suggest it may help reduce connections in an area of the brain linked to depression.
For most people, ECT is good for relieving severe depression, but the beneficial effect tends to wear off after several months.
Some people get unpleasant side effects, including short-term headaches, memory problems, nausea and muscle aches.
However, these risks need to be balanced against the risks of other treatments and the effects of not treating depression.

In this blog post, I will talk about how to use Update Management solution to manage updates for your Azure VMs. Right from within your Azure VM you can quickly assess the status of available updates, initiate the process of installing required updates, and review deployment results to verify that updates were applied successfully to the VM.
This feature is currently in private preview. If you're interested in giving it a try, please sign up!
Enabling Update Management
From your VM, you can select "Manage Updates" on the virtual machines blade, under Automation + Control. After selecting it, validation is performed to determine if the Update Management solution is enabled for this VM. If it is not enabled, you will have the option to enable the solution.
The solution enablement process can take up to 15 minutes, and during this time you should not close the browser window. Once the solution is enabled and log data starts to flow to the workspace, it can take more than 30 minutes for data to be available for analysis in the dashboard described in the next section. We expect this timing to significantly improve in the future.
Review update assessment
From the Manage Updates dashboard, you can review the update compliance state of the VM from the Missing updates by severity tile, which displays a count and graphical representation of the number of updates missing on the VM. The table below shows how the tile categorizes the updates missing by update classification.
To create an update deployment and bring the VM into compliance, you configure a deployment that follows your release schedule and service window. This entails what update types to include in the deployment, such as only critical or security updates, or if you want to exclude certain updates.
Create a new Update Deployment for the VM by clicking the "Schedule deployment for this VM" button at the top of the blade and specify the required values.
After you have completed configuring the schedule, click the "OK" button and you return to the status dashboard. You will notice that the Scheduled table shows the deployment schedule you just created.
View update deployment state
When the scheduled deployment executes, you see the status appear for that deployment under the Completed and in-progress table. Double-clicking the completed update deployment takes you to the detailed deployment status page.
To review all detailed activities performed as part of the update deployment, select "All Logs and Output tiles". This will show the job stream of the runbook responsible for managing the update deployment on the target VM.
OS support
- Windows: Windows 2012 and above
- Linux: RedHat Linux 6 & 7, Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 15.10, and 16.04
New to OMS Update Management
If you are new to OMS Update Management, you can view the current capabilities which include Update Insights across Windows and Linux, and the ability to deploy updates, as well as documentation.
In future posts, I'll talk about how to manage updates for multiple VMs in your subscription and how to orchestrate the update deployments including running pre/post steps, sequencing, and much more!
