Hey Ed,

Yeah, it's the effexor + patience next. I'm taking Risperidal and Lamictal right now, and will probably stay on them during the effexor trial (or experiment somewhat if I think they may be flattening the effects). Iive been taking Ativan for anxiety- placebo effect maybe, but not much noticeable reduction in anxiety.

Baroque music... Hah!. It's very complex and exciting guitar-wise. I learned one of Bach's Bourees a LONG time ago, and it's still my warm-up tune of choice- one of my favorites, and THE song which taught me to drop the pick and play with my fingers. I love the counterpoint between the bassline and the melody note (implying chordal movement). Bach transposes very well to guitar actually, and can even be jazzed up to swing a little. You'd have to talk to my dad about that one. I also learned Bach's "Alemande" a long time back- simple and beautiful melody. Now the 80's pop Ed, that's gonna be a problem we'll have to work through together. I'll be happy to offer my support to see you past this little phase of yours :)

Much Love,
-matt-
