Hmmmm... guess I should get out that cheesecake that I got from Ruth Chris last night :D I went to a presentation by a drug company at Ruth Chris... sheesh, what I have to do for my job, LOL!

Those darn drug reps hook you guys up! It really makes me wonder on just how docs decide which medication to prescribe. After all, there could be a damn cheescake in it for them :)

You aren't kidding, Salem. I took scripts for many years, for anxiety, but I didn't start feeling better, until I stopped using them.

5C, are you ill? I thought that I heard something had happened but I was not sure. I hope that you are okay.

I believe he is having difficulties with one of his eye or both eyes, his vision - still; the docs have not got him fixed up yet. :( I vaguely remember him commenting on it at another place not too long ago...

I remember that he dripped some ejuice in his eye. But a feed bag might indicate a much worse condition. Maybe he was joking. I hope so.

Well, this was for IV Tylenol, so I think you both are safe :) And, it was mostly nurses, CRNAs, and a couple of pharmacists there. We don't prescribe drugs. But, it is good for us to be knowledgable about them, when we administer them.

My mom has felt like chit for quite some time now. She is slowly getting off some of her meds after figuring out that the meds are at least 1/2 the trouble.

Hello everyone (waving). I guess the novelty wore off for me. I cannot see me hanging out at the other forum any more. Its okay but I like ECF better. I lubs the DIY forum and I am just getting into some new things related to DIY.

Its good to see your back Salem. :)

Thanks, Sd! I am glad to be back. I was saying earlier that road trips are nice but there is really no place like home :)

I'm not surprised, Salem. I was tired all of the time when I was on that stuff, I was sleeping about 15 hours a day. I finally smartened up, dumped the shrink and the drugs and now I only use natural meds, when I need them. Big difference !!! :)

I have not been able to take anti anxiety meds for that exact same reason. Sd hooked me up with some natural stuff that I think is working pretty well :)

My mom was on Plavix for years and getting what she called bleeders down her arms. They were quite nasty looking. They were lines running down her arms that would actually bleed. She stopped the Plavix and started taking baby aspirin. They are completely gone now.

I do believe that it many cases the side effects from the drugs are worse than the symptoms of illness. Some drugs are needed in some cases though.
