I rather like your doctor.
ReplyDeleteI use Xanax but only for flying. It's a party in the sky, that's for sure;).
he's convinced the government hates xanax because they haven't figured out how to tax it like alcohol. i don't use xanax for much of anything, all told, but i like to know where we stand on these things.
ReplyDeleteXanax is great except it makes me fall asleep immediately. Like, within 5 minutes of swallowing it, no matter where I am. Apparently this isn't standard, so my doctor's theory is that I'm sleep deprived and just waiting for something to force me to stop thinking so much.
ReplyDeleteI thought that American doctors would prescribe you anything that you pay for? I figured that was the trade off for privatised healthcare.
