Hey Byron,
Last year I quit taking all the experimental
drugs, I did go to an old standby. Yes Xanax.
When I was in my mid 20's to early 30's I had some anxiety problems, but had been drug free for that too for at least 4 years.
Anyway, I asked the doctor for some Xanax and told him I threw out all the other stuff.
The Xanax did absolutely nothing for the pain, but
did keep me calm when attacks came. Problem is, they are addicting. In fact, I'm still on them to this day. But, I use them very sparingly, only when necessary.
Be careful what drugs you mix that with!
I need to find out about mixing it with Imitrex before I take any of those, if I do.
I've got a little cocker spaniel named "Shadow",
I thought about renaming him after I've heard so much referral to "shadows" in here. Then I got to thinking, Hmmmm..He was named Shadow in the first place for always being there, everywhere ya'd go he be tangled at you feet, just always lingering around ya no matter what. I won't change his name,
but kinda makes the term shadows all the more appropiate to me : )
