Who's YES medicated here?

[Minimus]

I take a buttload daily just to function.

1. still drinking whiskey following my work holiday party

does that count?

[Minimus]

2. Sure, self medication works. Medication does not have to include

prescriptions only.

3. You mean that Yankees sports network?

Do they really show stuff on the Yankees 24/7, 365 days a year? Because that's kind of freaky gimpy.

:freak:

4. Me...

.... I take a low dose of a well-known (but poorly understood) mineral that prevents lots of unpleasantness. I said lots, not all :)

5. present.

6. Just say yes!

Paroxetine, famotidine, and nortriptyline daily; Ativan sometimes; Canadian Tylenol for headaches and such; and viscous lidocaine for mouth pain.

That isn't much compared to a few years ago, when my daily meds were fluoxetine, bupropion, then a BIG dose of Compazine, followed by some other anti-nausea stuff (the name escapes me), amifostine, heparin, morphine, fentanyl, and Saligen.

9. What is Canadian Tylenol?

:shrug:

[AlienGirl]

12. Tylenol with codeine and caffeine

It's sold without prescription in Canada, and it's the best migraine medicine I've ever had. (Does jack-all for cramps though.)

13. Does it have a lot of codine in it?

You can't get anything with a narcotic in it in this country without a script. And it almost impossible to get a script too.

[AlienGirl]

14. Not much

Something like 5 mg, I think. Less than prescription Tylenol-3.

I think the US attitude toward opiate and opioid painkillers is silly; there's a presumption that everyone who takes them will get addicted, and that just isn't so. I took pure morphine for many months, did not become addicted, and had no untoward effects when I went off of it. But doctors *still* look at me with suspicion when I request short-term Percoset prescriptions for mouth pain.

15. I wouldn't want to take that much tylenol for that little amt. of codine.

I really shouldn't take any tylenol at all.

7. Effexor ER......

I only need it to help me make it through the Christmas Holidays without becoming a basket case.

Some years I use Prozac - It just depends what health plan I'm on at the time. :-)

[newsguyatl]

8. hope effexor works better for you than it did for me

i got ZERO effect.

[TheDebbieDee]

11. Sorry it didn''t help you, Newsguyatl....

I know it's a horrible feeling to constantly KNOW that the world is going to hell in a handbasket!

[Fenris]

16. Yes. Drug of the Gods.

Makes me unfortunately lazy, however.

[bleedingheart]

10. Singulair..

Asthma...sure sucks not to be able to breathe...

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. 9 a day. Hopefully less after January 5th.
