@historyguy, I don’t mind at all asking me what medication I use.. I currently take Amitriptyline for depression and anxiety, it’s an older medication that they still use for those of us who don’t adapt easily to the newer ones..I also take lorazepam and I have been on them for 22 years, I never even thought they were a problem until recent years…I understand their concern with drugs like this but they always paint everything with the same brush and I am fed up with them…I had enough to deal with and suddenly my doctor gets into it and puts all this pressure on me..he even had the nerve to reduce my dosage by more than half without a talk or anything, he would even leave messages at the pharmacy about how I am to use this medication, you could have knocked me over with a feather. I hate these meds but I am addicted to them and I get very nervous when I have to deal with doctors who worry more about their reputation and not wanting to be associated with them, I thought they were supposed to be caregivers but I strongly doubt that very much and when I read all the sad things going on with people I get sick to my stomach
