You’re an interesting species. An interesting mix. You’re capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you’re not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.

Toddler received world’s smallest artificial heart as he waited for a transplant
Italian doctors have saved the life of a 16-month-old boy by implanting the world’s smallest artificial heart to keep the infant alive until a donor was found for a transplant.
The tiny titanium pump weighs only 11 grams and can handle a blood flow of 1.5 liters a minute. An artificial heart for adults weighs 900 grams.
Surgeon Antonio Amodeo said the baby had become family and his team wanted to do everything to help him.
“Every day, every hour, for more than one year he was with us. So when we had a problem we couldn’t do anything more than our best,” he said. (Photo: Alessandro Bianchi/Reuters)

5You're Not Alone: Common antidepressant side effects and how to cope with them
- Nausea
Try taking your antidepressant with food, eat smaller but more frequent meals, suck on sugarless hard candy, drink plenty of fluids such as cold water and ginger ale (with less carbonation is better), Pepto-Bismol, if nothing works talk to your doctor about your dosage.
- Increased appetite/weight gain
Cut back on unhealthy foods, exercise regularly, eat slower (this worked well for me, you get more full faster), keep a food diary, talk to a dietitian.
- Sexual side effects
You may need to talk to your doctor about changing your medication, or talk to your partner about changing sexual routines (perhaps longer foreplay)
- Fatigue/drowsiness
Exercise, take brief naps, avoid driving or operating machinery until fatigue passes, change the time of when you take your antidepressant(s)
- Insomnia
Take your antidepressant in the morning, talk to your doctor about a sedating medication, get regular exercise and work out 4-5 hours before bed time, avoid caffeine.
- Dry mouth
Drink plenty of water and sip it regularly, suck on ice chips, chew sugarless gum, suck on hard candy, breathe through your nose and not your mouth, brush your teeth twice a day because dry mouth can lead to cavities, try a moisturizing mouth spray.
- Constipation
Drink plenty of water, eat high in fiber foods (you could even try fiber pills, they’re technically food so you can take as many as you want), regular exercise, consider stool softeners if nothing else works.
- Blurred Vision
Eyedrops, talk to your doctor about changing your dose or medication, get an eye exam to see if your medication is not the underlying problem.
- Dizziness
Rise slowly from sitting or laying down, use handrails for support, avoid driving or operating machinery, avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco, drink plenty of fluids, take your antidepressant at bed time.
- Anxiety
Exercise (yoga is good), deep breathing exercises, talk to your doctor about taking a relaxing medication, or change your medication to something not as stimulating.
