I was reading a thread on another channel and was a bit surprised at how many people are on. Not the usual cold stuff but industrial strength anti depressants, sleep meds, benzos, sedatives, pain killers, one guy washes them down with cough syrup and rum  I'm not on any and and basically a rube when it comes to prescribed meds. Of course there are those who need the daily dose of heart or bp medication or others for a condition but why get hooked on painkillers and sleep meds? A couple of colleagues pop happy pills, now that's demeaning to people who need ssris I know, 'To get through the day'. Another is hooked on migraine pills but she has no migraines anymore, just hooked. Do people really need something to take off the edge or give them a buzz? |

Thats what crap jobs and even crappier bosses do to people. For many I think its the only thing that allows them to get out of bed in the morning rather than spending the day in a blacked out room. |

Plenty of zombies on the "paradise islands" in the south too.
Travel halfway across the world to end up in that state....sad situation.

Misuse of these medicines is the road to ruin. More problems get created than solved, I use codeine but only when absolutely necessary which is roughly once a year

Something to help me sleep on those long haul flights and that's it. Cough syrup chasers sound interesting...

Make sure you do not have any.....even with a prescription if you pass through Dubai. Some have found the cells are not very comfortable there and it is totally banned even for transit passengers. |

I need Gavapentin so that the dog that keeps chewing on my leg that was cut off does not make me scream sometimes. When it is bad I take a couple of asprins and if that does not work a couple of Panadol. I would preveer some Codein as it works better but it is too hard to get here. I have two places where it hurts...the stump of my leg and my mashed up hip and pelvis that waas wired together. Do not try taking on a car with your scooter. I ttake the Gavapentin regularly as it seems to work best that way...the other about once every two weeks if it gets bad and lasts more than half an hour or so. |
