Who the f*** is Cameron Kroetsch and what the f*** is 'The Strand'? Still good for a laugh, though.

every day is matthew good appreciation day.

thank you so much!

luckily never received morphine... when i had my wisdom teeth taken out i already fell in love with the gas they gave me.

i do agree with cringleman. i have seen people benefitting greatly from a nice daily dose of chemically induced happiness. i did, too. however, from all the people i know that took effexor in particular, there weren't many that did not go through hell kicking them.

it wasn't about the stigma. they worked, but as the drug was very new at the time, there wasn't much known about the long term effects. i decided to take a different route - away from meds. if i could have stayed on them forever with the assurance it was not going to mess with my brain, i would have. just the fact that kicking them was THAT horrible, tells me i made the right choice.

several years ago, i took the pink pills (effexor) for my sanity (yeah, i had to take them twice a day at exactly the same time or otherwise i'd get really weird), and just like muran, kicking them was one of the worst experiences in my life, too. every time i moved my eyeballs, my brain had a delayed reaction. i was seriously scared to cross the street as i did not trust my brain to process things around me properly. it took me a very long time to come off them and even though they worked wonders while taking them, i'll never take them again.
