Side Effects Page #2

Of course.

It was soft. Absolutely,

it was soft in that first...

But we are going to tighten it up.

Sure, that's what we do.

Yeah. I think it'll be interesting

to regroup after the Dallas groups.

JOAN:
Emily?

Are you okay?

(DOOR OPENING)

Emily?

(EMILY RETCHING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Aww!

What happened?

Oh!

These made me sick, too.

I had better luck with Celexa.

EMILY:
I used to draw when I was a kid.

Mostly people, though.

Teachers and kids from my class.

Boys that I liked.

Sometimes cats.

(CHUCKLES)

I used to try and get

their faces perfect.

That's why I came to New York, I

wanted to get into graphic design.

I was taking classes

when I met Martin.

How did that happen?

I was working at this, uh, bar

downtown to help pay for school,

and he kept coming in after work.

And he would just order the

most complicated drinks.

Things that I had no idea how to make.

(CHUCKLES)

One night, he climbed over the bar

and offered to teach

me how to make them.

And he ended up staying until we closed.

Then he asked me out.

And you went.

I didn't know who he was or what he did.

He was just...

He was just this guy in a suit.

And watched me while I made drinks,

and that made me really nervous.

Then he stared at me

like I was a painting.

He had this beautiful sailboat,

and he took me out on it.

Taught me how to ski.

He swept me off my feet.

Proposed to me in Maui that winter

and we were married by spring.

How old were you?

That was five years ago, so I was 23.

Time goes by so fast.

Is this ever going to go away?

You said you felt depressed before.

Did you see anyone about it last time?

Yeah. In Greenwich, Connecticut.

Victoria Siebert.

I had to stop seeing her when

they took our house away

and I had to move back to the city.

Do you mind if I contact

Dr. Siebert about your history?

No, of course not.

SIEBERT:
I saw her four years ago.

BANKS:
Mmm.

SIEBERT:
For a little

over nine months.

She didn't just have the

rug pulled from under her,

she had the rug,

the home, the husband.

Her entire life, gone.

Even her health insurance. She

moved into the city to find work

and I never heard from her again.

I'm glad she's seeing a man this time.

I think that will help.

Why is that?

Never felt seen by her father.

Then her husband ends up in

jail and she's abandoned again.

I'd be happy to see her have a

different kind of experience.

She says you tried her on medication.

Oh, yes. Wellbutrin.

Prozac. Effexor.

Really struggled.

Mmm.

I remember she had problems with

sleep and nausea. Chills...

I'm putting her on Zoloft, see

if she can tolerate that.

Oh. Well, maybe she's a candidate

for one of these newer meds.
