If you thought you were depressed before, wait till you finish this paragraph.

Researchers say popular painkillers could block the effects of antidepressants like Celexa, Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac or Lexapro…

This means YOU or a loved one. Do you take Advil or Motrin or Aleve? Well, the researchers found that people taking these NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) were significantly less likely to get results from their SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) antidepressants.

And Tylenol is no picnic either. Research suggests the same thing for acetaminophen.

The key word here is “significantly.” It’s not like Advil turned Prozac totally off. Plus, a lot more research is needed.

Deuteronomy 33 New International Version

Moses Blesses the Tribes

33 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced on the Israelite’s before his death. ²He said:

“The Lord came from Sinai
    and dawned over them from Seir;
    he shone forth from Mount Paran.
He came with^[a] myriads of holy ones
    from the south, from his mountain slopes.^[b]
³Surely it is you who love the people;
    all the holy ones are in your hand.
At your feet they all bow down,
    and from you receive instruction,
⁴the law that Moses gave us,
    the possession of the assembly of Jacob.
⁵He was king over Jeshurun^[c]
    when the leaders of the people assembled,
    along with the tribes of Israel. Image result for deuteronomy 33 v12

⁶“Let Reuben live and not die,
nor^[d] his people be few.”

⁷And this he said about Judah:

“Hear, Lord, the cry of Judah;
bring him to his people.
With his own hands he defends his cause.
Oh, be his help against his foes!”

⁸About Levi he said:

“Your Thummim and Urim belong
    to your faithful servant.
You tested him at Massah;
    you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.
⁹He said of his father and mother,
    ‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognise his brothers
    or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
    and guarded your covenant.
¹⁰He teaches your precepts to Jacob
    and your law to Israel.
He offers incense before you
    and whole burnt offerings on your altar.
¹¹Bless all his skills, Lord,
    and be pleased with the work of his hands.
Strike down those who rise against him,
    his foes till they rise no more.”

¹²About Benjamin he said:

“Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him,
for he shields him all day long,
and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders.”
