I got into some real problems with tranquilizers a few years back even though they were prescribed by a doctor and I was taking the recommended dose. I'll never take them again, no matter what the reason. Beware!
ReplyDeleteI found a bottle of pills in my daughters jean pocket when I was doing the laundry. I came to this sight to identify the mix and I'm sad to say they were all here. I haven't talked to her yet but I'm sure by now she knows I've found her stash. I hope I can handle this.
ReplyDeleteMy doctor talked to me about valium just the other day. I told him I'd think about it. After reading this, my answer will be no. It's just too scary.
ReplyDeleteI remember my mom taking valium when most of us kids were in our teens. I haven't heard of any of my friends taking tranquilizers but I guess that doesn't mean they don't. We all have kids, I just hope if they do they are being cautious with them.
ReplyDeleteI have enough trouble with my brain not working fast enough. I'm frequently teased about being blond. I know I would never take a tranquilizer. It would probably put me right to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people are taking one of these medications? I bet if they got involved in an outdoor activity, they wouldn't need a pill. Fresh air and sunshine are a couple of underused prescriptions as far as I'm concerned.
