I was coming off of a lot of psyche meds and other things.
I was diagnosed with ADD - see also: raised on sugary cereals and cartoons - and manic depression. So I was prescribed Ritalin for the ADD, and for the manic imbalances I was prescribed mostly benzodiazepines, which I loved, and antidepressants.
I'm by no means condemning prescription medicine for mental health. I've seen it save a lot of people's lives.
I was terrified when my doctor told me that I had a unique and interesting personality trait, but then he told me about new Zoloft or Prozac and now I just take three pills a day and I blend right into this horrible inbred corporate landscape.
I get freaked out by pills. Everyone I know is always like, "I'm just going to take a Valium or an Ambien on the plane." But I can't do any of that stuff - it scares me.
I wish I had my beta-blockers handy.
Klonopin is a horrible, dangerous drug.
Just out of curiosity, sweetheart; did you ever talk to your doctor about givin' you some tranquilizers?
