In the midst of Kim Cattrall’s well-known dispute with Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex and the City superstar Jason Lewis has dramatically changed his mind about her. As the attractive and compassionate waiter-turned-actor Smith Jerrod on the program, Lewis, 54, gained praise for his chemistry with love interest Samantha Jones, portrayed by Cattrall, 69. But in 2018, Lewis staunchly supported Carrie Bradshaw’s character Parker, praising her as a “gracious lady” and criticizing Cattrall by saying, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” Lewis gushed over his co-star to a fan on Instagram eight years later, suggesting that…

Research has revealed that this prescription can have potentially harmful adverse effects that last into the next day. Although quetiapine, an antipsychotic medication marketed under the brand name Seroquel, is allowed to treat schizophrenia, it is often taken off-label for sleeplessness. Instead of using quetiapine for its prescribed purposes, about 75% of patients use it for sleep-related problems. According to a world-first clinical experiment conducted in Australia, quetiapine dramatically reduces alertness and driving performance in patients who take the medication before bed. Flinders…
