Like I said in the 500, glad you are okay. I was starting to worry about you.
What med do they have you on, if you don't mind me asking. I have been on a few meds like that. It is the worst.

I appreciate the sentiment it brother.
I don't mind anyone asking at all. The majority of my life I have been on Zoloft for depression and Lorazepam for anxiety and they worked great for me. No side affects, Never felt drugged the Zoloft was to be taken every day, the lorazepam was as needed which was not often at all. The hospital put me back on the lorazepam after I had my stroke because of the area of the brain that got broke.
Any how after the stroke and almost 2 years of trying to find a Dr that dealt with this kind of chit my Attorney of all people suggested I try here because my Drs was not doing the trick. Any how this crazy bat Dr has that mentality of "Oh No you will get addicted and start buying street drugs Blah Blah Blah" We are going to take you off the lorazepam, and put you on 3 other psychotropic drugs for depression and anxiety. So now instead of taking zoloft daily and lorazepm as needed.
I am now taking Zoloft and...
Hydroxyzine which is used to treat itching caused by allergies. It is an antihistamine and works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction.
Hydroxyzine may also be used short-term to treat anxiety or to help you feel sleepy/relaxed before and after surgery.
and,
Remeron, which is used to treat depression. It improves mood and feelings of well-being. Mirtazapine is an antidepressant that works by restoring the balance of natural chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain. It is also used for sleep.
The Remeron: I was diagnosed with seizures at the age of 22. Taking this med is a no no if you have a hx of epilepsy. Also its a no no if one has a hx of recent heart attack, angina or stroke and I have had both. And, yes this Dr Knows my medical history.
The Hydroxyzine is to take the place of the lorazepam because "this drug is not addicting" it just keeps you in a coma!
So in essance I have those two meds that knock me the heck out. Two: Should not be taking due to other health issues and this Dr Knows this but is adamant I stay on them because Lorazepam is "BAD" cause you might get addicted and become a druggie. So I now stay in a coma most of the time and when I am awake well, Depressed because I am pissing my life away. Now here is the real kicker. When I am frustrated, in a dont give a chit mood, sad, happy.... I don't know if its me that feels this way or if the drugs are making me feel this way. Its about as phuged up as it comes I think. But hey, now I wont start selling or buy street drugs cause that is what is really important here. My health and well being takes 4th place when in comparison. Blahhhh!.......... Any how time for bed again head is bouncing off the keyboard.
Sorry for the book. 🇨🇮
