Crikey, Baba . . . it's a wonder you're on your feet!

I take a multivitamin every morning, and that's about it.

Humira this Thursday hopefully!

Vitamin C every day.
Occasional Benedril for stuffiness.

At least the baba is honest.

At least the baba has provided an explanation for a great many things.

Why do you need all those meds, baba?

Benadryl when ever I visit my sister, as since I had a septoplasty a few years ago, I've developed quite a bad reaction to cat hair that I never used to have.

More than I care to list, but in total, around 13 pills spaced out over the course of a day.

"They" had me taking anti-inflammatories four times a day. I'm usually quite good at being compliant when taking pills, but this did not work.

flintstones vitamin

sleeping pills when i need them (temazapan? pam? something like that.)

800mg ibuprofen for cramps

supposed to be taking antidepressants but I decided against it.

^Any particular reason?

Irrational fear of it changing me at a more fundamental level than I could accept, I suppose. I dunno. I was scared that I wouldn't feel anything the way I'm used to. I'm not exceptionally smart and I don't have any amazing musical talents or anything like that, but I'm good at feeling. I'm good at loving. It might sound dumb, but it's what I got. I felt like the sadness was an extension of that, and I just knew that getting rid of it with a happy pill wasn't going to come without consequences. I don't think I'm explaining myself very well. I guess it was kind of an abstract fear that I've not bothered to put into words before.

1.) Zoloft
2.) Ortho Evera
3.) Albertol

damn... i can't spell.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my fiancee has battled clinical depression most of her life. Her anti-depressants don't make her happy, but they smooth out the ride. The highs are higher and the lows aren't as low. She still cries and gets upset and angry, but she can work her way out of it (therapy has helped quite a bit on that score). She's an incredibly loving and compassionate person, and the meds help her to bring that out. They haven't changed her, but they have helped her.

I used to take anti-depressants, but like Mrs. A, I didn't like them. They changed me too much and when I forgot to fill up my prescription for like two weeks once, I felt sooo much better.

Yeah, I've had to learn to deal with the ups and downs a lot more than I used to, but it's worth all the other feelings I get.

*jams out to sublime*

thanks for that.

I take them. I am not perfect, not my far. I still go nuts once and awhile. But they help. I am a lot more angry when I don't take them. And I cry a lot more. I am just a wreck without them. But they aren't for everyone. For some people they work and others they don't. It sort of depends on what exactly made you depressed. Something in you life that has effected it or just a simple chemical imbalance.

You raise a very important point. If it's a life event that's causing the depression, just being on medication will not make it go away. Counseling in tandem with the meds can get at the thing and pull it out by the roots, though that may not happen overnight.

Still, when you can stare the trauma in the eye and beat it, you may find you can gradually wean off the meds.

Say it with me.
Once in a while.
Say it again.
You'll realize why what you typed sounds wrong since in the context once and awhile doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense in any context actually.
