The sky is falling!

Feb 16, 2006 20:25

Captain Trips is what I call my dance with the devil xanax. It is also the name of the plague that struck the world in Stephen King's "The Stand", but you know, it's fitting here as well. I've experienced a level of mellowness I never thought could exist outside of herb brownies. They're not strong -- only 0.5 mg pill(etts) -- but they clobber me ( Read more... )

I'm glad you got a whole bottle...
I hope the results come back okay. :)

No one's more glad than I am. Shit was getting weird for a second there. And thanks -- I'll be sure to post my results. Fingers crossed that it's anemia!

I was recently tested for anemia, too. :/ Haven't gotten my results yet, but I sure do look like a junkie now!! :)

oh dear, sorry about the attacks *frownie face.* A few thoughts, having been exactly in your position more than once (paramedics, EKGs, etc): 1 - yay xanax! 2 - my doctor says I'm not anemic, but after 45 days on a daily supplement (gentle iron) I noticed a difference, so maybe take it anyway. 3 - any chance of allergies or food reactions triggering your attacks? I have had multiple incidents triggered by cheap coffee (60-90 min after drinking it,) cheese (immediately,) and anything with aspartame in it (diet drinks, gum, etc...) just some thoughts, I'm a compulsive advice-giver.

Aspartame sucks. I'm allergic to it.

Funnily enough, allergies were discussed in depth. I will be making an appointment to see an allergist to run more sophisticated breathing tests because I truly believe some degree of asthma exists. I cut my caffeine intake by about 80% but am not aware of any food allergies. Just dust, mold, certain plantlife, etc. -- your normal allergens.

Well, I hope that all goes well with the tests, but you just gotta love those panic attacks and the things they do to fix em. Happy pills are this shit!

Oh and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that soaks up the sympathy thing when I have to go to the docs. That would be one of the reasons I just love being pregnant!

I've had more than one co-worker trying to buy my happy pills. Hello? These are things I truly need -- you're not going to try to scalp an old man from his heart medication, too, are you? Goddamn vultures.

pocahontas_1 February 19 2006, 22:32:07 UTC

Okay, that's just wrong... on way too many levels. Freakin' druggies!

particle_person February 17 2006, 17:10:12 UTC

Jeez, that's awful. I'm glad the xanax is working for you. So you're okay now, unless one of the tests says something else is up?

sexion8 February 17 2006, 22:06:36 UTC

Oh, 'tis smooth sailing all the way. Whenever I start to feel anxious, I'll take about half. My last attack was about 6 months ago and I didn't completely recover for, I believe, 2 weeks? 3? Just look at it as a devastating earthquake -- you're going to feel aftershocks for quite some time afterward.

I'm so glad you're feeling better! Your lovely pills sound tempting to me, a fellow insomniac.

I'm sorry you had to go in the boob hating machine! I am terrified of the time when I will be forced into there, too.

Hopefully by the time you have to go, the machine they've been promising for years will finally become available nationwide. You just lie face-down on a table, drop your boobs in two holes and an x-ray light shines harmlessly back and forth underneath the table. Like the eye-laser identification machine, only it's your boobies.

Also...FUCKING WINGER, MAN! I just downloaded "You're Sexxing Me", his duet with Fiona. It makes me want to have day-glo sex.
