Smiling granny starver says what? White House budget director Mick Mulvaney just keeps bringing the hits -- we have a feeling the smiling sociopath will get a lot of attention here at Yr wonkette, at least until police start getting complaints about the smells and muffled cries for help coming from his house's crawlspace. After last week's brilliant observation that we simply
Not taking it the wrong way at all. My previous doctor, as it turns out, was sketchy as hell. He had me on that dose on a schedule, not "as needed", which was apparently how it should have been, only at a much lower dose. I'm really pissed off at him for the betrayal and what it's doing to me right now. When I saw my new doc yesterday, i told her how i felt like I'd failed and that I felt like a POS drug addict. She quickly told me this wasn't my fault, that someone else did this to me and that really helped my mindset a lot.
Thanks for the concern, that really does mean a lot to me. She's upped my Neurontin to help with the pain and stave off any seizures. I'm also not alone in this. I have a wife who knows all of this and she's been super helpful in weening off this outpatient. I'm now down to only 1.5 mgs a day on the Xanax and my doc wants me to stay there for another week and she wants to see me once a week for a while until I get completely off of this. Even at this point, that will take about two more months. It really is shitty and I absolutely hate Benzos right now. Just want that crap out of my body.
Getting off Benzos is such a hard and dangerous endeavor- I don't need to tell you that. I knew plenty of people who got fucked up on those after years of having been prescribed way too much for way too long. I guess for some doctors keeping the patients zombied up so they don't bug you is SOP. You should be proud of how strong you are being to go through this process. Take care and best wishes for your continued recovery.
It happened so gradually and over so many years, I didn't even realize what was happening to me. My entire brain chemistry has changed. My personality has been changed. I was too zombied out to realize it was happening and even my wife didn't realize it was going on because it was so gradual.
Thank you for your kind words and your knowledge on the subject. I'm proud of myself for tackling this but i am also humbled by all the support I'm getting IRL right now. My wife, her (my) family, my friends and even my new doctor. i really couldn't do it without them. I also couldn't do it without a clear timeline. In about two months, I'll be done with the Xanax. By the end of the year, I'll be off the Restoril (another Benzo)and be completely Benzo free. I'm looking forward to that like I can't even begin to describe.
Trump now seems desperate, childish, and vulnerable.Conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin...what, you mean like just now? Where the fuck have you been all this time?
That's pretty rich, saving an industry who's profits and executive salaries are at an all time high. But then again, there are plenty of poor people in America who are stupid enough to believe that saving insurance companies are a priority.
Hey, if we all went out and held up banks, think of the jobs we'd create: more lawyers, more judges, and, oh, yes, more prison jobs.... MILYUNS AND MILYUNS of them....
He can use all his Russian tenants to fill the 100s of govt positions that remain unnamed.

Holy Fuck. Mind you, I said that yesterday too. And the day before I think.
