Hi Everyone:
I guess I should share this. It might help someone. Or it might not. I don't know.
The doctors do not give me any tranquilizers or sleeping pills. No xanas, no ativan. Nothing like that.
There is a reason.
Once I was very depressed. Deep in the pits. There may have been a reason but it is besides the point now.
And Also I'd used alcohol to medicate with. For a good long while.
Doctors are aware that if anyone relied on alcohol to feel okay that they have an addictive personality. So they don't give that person those medications.
But the foremost reason that they don't give those typed meds to someone subject to depression is because those medications tend to depress.
I am so happy that I finally have reached the point where I don't need them. I guess I lived longer than my problems. LOL
No , seriously, I do sometimes have problems.
But anyway, there you are.
I doubt that will help anyone. But thought I'd put that out there.
MJ
