With some of the dreadful reactions I have had to medications I mostly say no to drugs. The psychotropics turn me psycho. I read about addictions and have been through thus...I went off cold turkey with pain medication, antidepressants, anti psychotics, anti anxiety...I do not care to go through anything like that again. If I can get something stronger than an OTC I only want a low dose and do not want to go through what I did in 2010 again. This is where I am currently. Maybe my pain is not as severe as pain is for others. I do know what withdrawal is like and...I have had a good life all in all. I endeavor to be content and learn what I can. I do know what does not work for me.
