Warren: I forgot to tell you that I am taking Clonazepam (Very Addictive) at night as taking it during the day will make you tire and sleepy. Don’t take Ativan (Lorazepam) as it is also very addictive and really screwed me up for two years as I was being tapered off of it. If a drug has side effects going on and off it, I will have them even ones not listed in the pamphlets. Take care JaneL @manysilver
Hi Jane: I don’t have many friends either, and I have a brother who is far away and also mentally ill. Fortunately I have my wife’s family and her children by her first marriage, but as you can imagine, although we love/like each other, they, too, are far away, and I don’t always have a lot of positive things to share with them in any case.
I have not been religious in my life, but I’m thinking about becoming so. Sometimes I think that only a miracle will save me!
Best regards, Warren
Hi Warren: What a relief! There is someone out there that finally understands what I’ve been through and am currently going through. I am currently taking Melatonin per directions of my psychiatrist but I may ask her whether I should go off of it to see if I am more alert when I wake up. To combat my sleepiness in the morning, my psychiatrist prescribed D-Amphetamine Salt Combo (Allderal sp?) an upper. Nothing like taking one pill to combat the side effects of another drug. I hate that! I’ll ask my psychiatrist about Valerian. Meanwhile, I still am suffering. I have no friends to speak of and I am estranged from my family so there isn’t anyone I can really talk to. Thanks Warren for understanding and your words of comfort!
