Since 1999

[Menshevik]

3. chocolate

[ET Awful]

4. You forgot the second half of the question . . .

and why don't you share? :)

[datasuspect]

5. i'm self-medicating

stopped my seven and seven regimen and switched to bourbon and beer.

[Pacifist Patriot]

7. I can answer that!

My prescription drug plan is fantastic. I have a $7 co-pay on everything except what my doctors prescribe. Then it's $40.

[Pacifist Patriot]

6. serafem

[donheld]

8. This and That

[datasuspect]

10. YUMMY

[jdots]

9. 4 pounds of sugar per day

[DrWeird]

11. Chrome VI. My alternative healer recommended it.

It's very good for my out of balance humors.

[meisje]

12. Uppers to get me going and downers to put me out...and then

I like to level out my hi's and low's by snorting a cocktail of Oxy, Phentermine and Tabasco sauce. Giddyup!

[pink-o]

25. Hey

Thanks for sharing, Rush:toast:

[StopTheMorans]

13. beer, whiskey, and occasionally

cough syrup...

[Fenris]

14. Ëffëxör

300 MG. :(

I wish I could get off, but i'm too hooked.

[Groggy]

15. my doc just prescribed Lorazepam

for anxiety attacks if I need it. Is it any good? I only have 10 pills.

[datasuspect]

17. if you use them as indicated

and not as a drug of abuse, they take the edge off.

taking a few at a time with some booze will get you loaded though.

[flamingyouth]

19. Yes, it's also known as Ativan

Good stuff for anxiety.

[flamingyouth]

16. Not enough, clearly

Xanax, and occasionally Ambien to sleep.

[Der Blaue Engel]

30. Hey, that was going to be my answer

(The not enough part.) ;)

I'm on 300mg of Wellbutrin and also take Ativan (Lorazepam) on occasion when my anxiety gets out of control. Like...after stolen elections and during unjust wars and things. :eyes:

[flamingyouth]

31. Yeah, the election sent me into a tailspin

And this is the first holiday season after my estranged husband killed himself in June, so I really think I don't think I could get enough drugs at this point. Whatever makes the pain go away, I'll take it.

I'm going to ask my doc about Wellbutrin on Wednesday. :hi:

[Der Blaue Engel]

34. I'm so sorry to hear about your ex

(for lack of a better term). A friend of mine was estranged from her husband for about a year, and he recently died of pancreatic cancer from alcoholism...basically a slow suicide, as he had every possibility of stopping it before it got to that point. She wanted nothing to do with him by then, but it was still sad and hard to deal with when she got the news.

I've been on Wellbutrin for 4.5 out of 6 years on meds. (Switched to Effexor for a while, which seriously made me crazy.) I'm a big fan of the Wellbutrin. :) Although it doesn't seem to be quite as effective as it once was...but it's hard to say if it's the drug or life.

[flamingyouth]

35. Thanks again

And I am going to check that out. I tried Effexor and ended up in the ER from it. It didn't agree with me, to put it mildly.

Hope things get better for you and me, and for all of us.

[Padraig18]

18. Nabumentone and Darvocet.

I'm not a happy camper at the moment...

:P

[datasuspect]

21. whoa

rock on . . .

[Padraig18]

22. I've got a ruptured cervical disc,on top of degenerative arthritis.

*sigh*

[datasuspect]

23. yow

i had a friend with a screwed up sciatic nerve.

he couldn't walk for a long time and had to take lots of pills.

[Deja Q]

20. Zoloft no good. Am starting Lexapro.

I wish they'd start going after the root causes though, treating the symptoms only goes so far.

[Spinzonner]

24. Like with a lobotomy ?

Getting at 'causes' in the brain are relatively difficult unless you have and can identify a true organic cause like a tumor or a nexus of activity like in some cases of epilepsy and Parkinons, etc.

For diffusely manifested diseases, especially those which appear as emotional disturbances, treating the symptoms is currently the only practical and safe alternative.

[WindRavenX]

26. vodka and orthocyclin

Good for the heart AND the ovaries :D

[eauclaireliberal]

27. RE:"what meds are you taking?"

Lorazepam, Keppra, Lamictal, Tylenol PM after a bad day at work and Benydryl because my Mrs. keeps insisting on the importance of all these damned animals in our house.

[smirkymonkey]

28. Going Through Scary Ass Detox from Paxil

right now. It sucks, but I really want to be medication free (numerous reasons).

[Catshrink]

29. Wild Turkey....

[WCGreen]

32. Slo-Bin, Accutane, Advair, Alburtoral, Ambien,

and a few others I can;t remember...

got rid of Celebrex and Prilosec.....

[sakabatou]

33. Escitalopram Oxalate

Except it doesn't work anymore, and I'm getting more aggitated/anxious in some places.

[Nikia]

36. I've just started taking Asacol

I am hoping that it will help me with my digestive problems because the other medicines that I've tried to take for it either didn't work at all or gave me intolerable side effects.
I also take a beta blocker, atenenol, but am thinking about asking my doctor if I can cut the dosage in half and eventually try to get off of it. I weigh 40 pounds less now than when I was prescribed it and my blood pressure has been well into normal change.
I also take oral contraceptives and probably will until we start trying for children.

[thatgemguy]

37. Morphine Sulfate

I have chronic pain, Dr. wants to implant a morphine pump in January.

[name not needed]

38. Nyquill

I should probably take some more right about now.
