For people with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, antipsychotic medications are the key to recovery. Yet, older medications have serious side effects, do not completely alleviate the psychotic symptoms, and rarely affect other symptoms like lethargy. The new antipsychotics have several advantages over the older medications, and are transforming the lives of many people, but they are not for everyone: They also have side effects and the cost can be prohibitive. Breakthroughs in Antipsychotic Medications helps consumers and their families weigh the pros and cons of switching medications and guides them through the process of switching. With clear, simple language, the book answers such questions as: What are antipsychotic medications and what do they do? What kinds of antipsychotic are available and how are they different? How do I know if switching might (or might not) be a good idea? When is the best time to switch? Which medication should I switch to? How do I make the switch? What will happen after I switch? How can I afford the cost of the new antipsychotics? The book also gives clinicians technical details on the new medications and their side effects. For example, eight “medication fact sheets” and seven “side effect fact sheets” are included, as well as a discussion of the switching process, assessing the patient's response to the switch, and the long-term issues after switching antipsychotics. A clear and authoritative map for the road to recovery, Breakthroughs in Antipsychotic Medications is a valuable resource for consumers, families, and clinicians.

As the first in the Two Widows Mystery Series by Pacific Northwest writer, Ruth Ross, Two Widows and the Thrift Store Murders is a humorous and touching tale of murder, mayhem, and great bargains. Widow Millie Mahoney is a dabbler. She dabbles in all sorts of things: art, writing, politics, and sometimes employment. Unfortunately, nothing captures her attention for long, at least not until she finds herself dabbling in murder. Millie's mother, Margaret Cisneros is also a widow, but she doesn't dabble like her daughter. Instead, she quilts. She’s also the voice of reason with her occasional efforts to keep Millie on track and the dog out of trouble. But even Margaret can't resist going along on this shopping trip. Join the Two Widows as they find more than they bargained for at the local charity thrift store.

Millie Mahoney and her mother, Margaret Cisneros, live in a small suburb of Seattle with their tiny terror of a dog and an overweight cat named Chance the Cat. They are also the proud owners of a brand-new office and a shiny shingle that reads "Two Widows Investigations". When the phone rings at two in the morning, it is seldom a good thing. When Millie and Margaret receive just such a call, another adventure can’t be far behind. Soon they find themselves on the trail of dark secrets, devious plots, and disturbing wardrobe choices. By the time this escapade is over, at least one rowdy bunch will learn not to stand in the way of The Two Widows and that things are rarely as they seem.
