hello,
after I drink coffee, I have to take a nap! I know it sounds weird, but it’s unfortunately true 
Once I bought an energy drink and instead of feeling more energetic… it made me go to bed 
Recently, I found out that I have ADD and I’ve begun taking ritalin, a stimulant. Well, it makes me sleepy! I think I will stop it, it’s horrible.
I remember a few years ago, I suffered from some anxiety and the doctor prescribed me Xanax,…. well it didn’t work at all, I had much more anxiety after taking Xanax than before so I stopped it.
There must be something terribly wrong with the chemicals in my brain 
Has anybody ever heard of something like this?
Thank you in advance.
I’m really sad about what I put my lil’ sis through! She lives an unusual life. She lives with my Dad who is 71 and her Mom comes and goes (she’s a drug addict and an alcholic). She’s a very pretty girl and is so mature for her age (probably from hanging out with so many adults). She’s bi-racial (my Dad is white and her Mom is black) and I think that’s a little rough on her since she goes to a kinda small country school and there’s only a few black or bi-racial kids. She is also much bigger and more developed than the other girls. She looks more like she should be in highschool than sixth grade. Anyways, here’s the weird part! I’m 35! I found out about her when my Dad confessed about 9 years ago that he had a girlfriend (they aren’t together anymore, he was basically her “sugardaddy” ’cause he had money at the time) and a baby from her. I was upset but excited. I have a sis around my own age but this was so un-expected! I fell in love with her. She was the most adorable toddler and so smart! Everyone that met her fell in love with her. She was just precious. Her Mom began using drugs and alcohol really bad. I was a recovering addict and alcholic myself. I devolped a close relationship with the little girl and I’d go visit her in the winter in Florida (my Dad would enroll her in school in Florida in the winter). However, my last visit was a disaster! She was nine (going on 10). I had been re-lapsing really bad and using drugs and drinking again. I partied when I was down there and instead of hanging out with her, I went out drinking and using drugs and staying out all night. I know she was crushed especially since she saw her Mom act the same way so often. She had really looked up to me! I treated her more like an adult than a little kid and we could talk about anything! I got so drunk and my Dad was yelling at me that I threatened suicide and jumped into the bay. It was embarassing and stupid and she saw it all. She saw me barely able to walk and I had overdosed on Xanax (a sedative) and I’m sure she thought I was dying. Since then (almost 2 years?), I haven’t talked to her even though she lives only a mile away! I desperately want to gain her respect back. It’s going to be awkward though. Should I apologize and explain what happened (she’s old enough to understand addiction and she knows about it well because of her mother)? What are some things that we could do together? I was thinking shopping! I was going to buy her something special! Any suggestions? Something cool! What about a pretty pre-paid cell phone that takes pics. so she can call me? I want to be there for her even though I think her Mom has straightened up a little. Any advice is so apprecciated! I AM SO SORRY THAT THIS IS SOOOO LONG! I REALLY THANK YOU FOR READING ALL OF THISI!!!
This is an argumentive essay but we were able to choose a side or explain cause and effects. Please let me know what is wrong.

Pain Medications are Ruining Our Lives
If you think about how often a person goes to the doctor for pain its more than necessary. Doctors prescribe you a pain pill no matter what you may have, you go in for a cold and they give you vicodin, you have a headache and you get oxycodeine, your glands in your neck are swollen so they give you a pain shot. In fact, painkiller use has boomed by 88% in less than a decade. Every year more and more humans get addicted to pain pills. Not only does the person ruin their life (health), but they are also harming everyone around them. However not all the time is it the persons fault for becoming addicted, but it’s the doctors fault.
Doctors (especially in Roseburg) are extremly lazy and really don’t care about their patients. They want you in and out as quickly as possible. So for most people if you are in pain you will get vicodin automatically. Yes vicodin is the most body friendly prescription, but it is very addictive. What consumers don’t realize is the major side affects that the doctors know. You don’t get a, “warning this drug may cause an addiction,” label on the side of the prescription nor on the paperwork that comes with it. So the average American is really clueless when they take that first dose.
However, many pain pills also carry a dangerous side effect (the potential for addiction). Many people have become addicted over the years to drugs that should have been used only temporarily to treat a medical condition. Taken too long or in larger amounts than prescribed, many drugs can become a problem and a threat to your life and other around you. About 6.2 million Americans abuse painkillers, sedatives, tranquilizers, and stimulants (making prescription drugs second to marijuana). Among uses of all drugs that’s more than the number of cocaine addicts nationwide and the number appears to be growing.
With each year, pain pills are getting pushed to everyone that has any kind of symptoms. When a person starts a pain pill, after taking the pill for so long, that person gets addicted (An addiction is primarily a state where the body begins to rely on a drug or an external chemical substance in order to carry out its normal functions. For instance vicodin is the most body friendly drug but very addicting.). The person loves the feeling that he/she has when they are on the pill (usually most people feel energy but there isn’t the caffeine headache/crash from drinking caffeine) that they want more. Then the person is tracking down people that have that pain medications that they need and once they find a person with their pill of choice they buy it for an outrageous amount of money (oxycotin is one of the worst pills out there and people spend up to sixty dollars just for one pill). People buying each others prescriptions are happening more and more each day. The people today are so bad about needing/wanting the pills that they will go through garbage’s just to find what they need. Most of the pills being prescribed give the user major withdrawls and the person has to get professional help to get off the medication. You get placed on a medication to get better not to get addicted then have to spend more money on classes to get over your addiction. Not only is it a waste of money, but to be seen by a doctor for your addiction can take up to six months or even longer.
The United States has become a huge pill popping nation. Everyone wants a pill to relieve them of any feeling that is undesirable. The most commonly abused medications include pain relievers such as: Vicodin, Oxycontin, Percocet and Morphine; Depressants like: Valium and Xanax; As well as Stimulants including: Adderall and Ritalin. It is estimated that twenty percent of Americans age twelve and older have used prescription medications for non-medical use (the young children are becoming addicted and starting to sell pills as well). The elderly are usually more vulnerable for abuse issues because they are generally prescribed more medications than other age groups. However, prescription drug abuse is increasing most in ages 18-25 up from 5.4% in 2002 to 6.4% in 2006. Prescription medications are perceived as an expected discomfort relief tool or a luxury for those in dire need. With today’s addictive epidemic, narcotic medications need to be administered more sparingly to avoid abuse and addiction. Many do not recognize that turning to prescription medications for relief opens the door to possible abuse and addiction.
Of course when you feel pain, you definitely don’t like the feeling, but pain isn’t going to kill us. Pain is a message that tells are body that we are alive. It lets us no good and bad. Pain can tell us that we need to exercise, get up and stretch, or that
My almost 26 year old stepdaughter has announced that she is marrying a fellow that she has only dated for 10 days prior to the announcement. The fellow is a nice guy but what can I say, when on the second time I met him they announced they were getting married? Knowing Tasha like I do, there is no way to try to talk to her to maybe postpone the wedding date of June 20. I would prefer they live together and save some money as they are both broke and working paycheck to paycheck. They also announced that she is not pregnant, thank goodness! (She has a 6 year old son from another relationship) I decided to support her in her decision because if I didn’t it would have damaged our relationship that I have so enjoyed for the last two years. Tasha I’m positive is Bi Polar but unmedicated and her family doctor has prescribed Xanax for her. ????? I don’t even know if she takes it like she’s supposed to or not. The problem is Tasha was rattling off every wedding plan immediately after the announcement of the engagement at a resturant we were eating at as a family, and ignoring her son and her soon to be husband. She was highly agitated and wound up like she has been in the past. She asked me if I would take her to the bridal shops and help her pick the dresses out and help her pick her dress out. I said of course I would, but I sensed her nervousness and said don’t forget they have their biggest sale right after the holidays so just enjoy your first holidays together and don’t worry about planning you can do that after the holidays, just have a happy time at Christmas together. We then planned a family outting to get to know the fellow better the next Sat. I spoke to Tasha that Sat morning about the family outing and we were to meet them at 3pm. The next thing I know is my sister in law who is in the wedding calls me on the phone asking ‘Hey are you coming down?’……… Tasha had invited all the other girls in the wedding to go try on dresses and buy her wedding dress, but delibarately did not tell me or her step sister, my 13 year old daughter is to be a bridesmaid also. This absolutely broke my heart and broke the heart of my daughter who worships the ground Tasha walks on. I was crushed. One, she hurt he step sister and doesn’t care that she did it. Two, I’ve been her ‘mom’ for the last 9 years, granted it’s been more than difficult most of the time. She lies uncontrollably, she’s hateful, she’s absolutely unbearable at times, but I’ve always been there to catch her when she fell. Never taking control of her life but letting her make the decisions and if she asked for an opinion I gave it as an option for her to think about. I was the one she called when she was hurt or sick or lonely. I never tried to replace her Mother but was whatever she wanted me to be. She and her real Mother have a horrible relationship because they are too much alike. They haven’t spoken civil to one another for years. Tasha and my relationship had really grown the last two years, she texted or called me EVERYDAY on her lunch hour and all the way home after work. She moved into a rental home down the road from us, I open the door every morning at 5am for her to drop off our grandson, so that I can get him to & from school daily with my children, helping her as I have from the beginging. (mind you I’m only 40). I literally have include Tasha in every family gathering that we have. Her Dad and I were also wanting to surprise her for her birthday (Jan) and buy her wedding dress for her. I also wanted to take pictures of the day she found the wedding dress and the whole process for her to make a scrapbook for her to have as another personal gift for her. Needless to say, Tasha & her fellow never showed up to the family outing we planned, but that same evening we stopped by the sister in laws home visiting and Tasha & Fellow showed up. She never spoke a word to her Dad or I let alone even looked at us. She’s refused my texts, my phone calls, so I stopped trying, thinking it would give her some room to think. I cried and cried. The other children are upset with her for treating “Mom’ like that. Now tonight, she calls her Dad and says ‘I’m bringing your grandson in the morning @ 5′. He proceeds to tell her, ‘ You know I leave at 4am to go to work. That’s yours and Momma’s thing,…….’ Tasha hung up on him. What in the world do I do? She won’t talk to me at this point, I’ve debated writing a letter to her, but I don’t know what I’ve done. How do I handle this? Do I allow her to have me in her life ONLY when it’s convenient for her or when she wants something? I can’t handle the hurt much,….I’ve gotten close to her in the past only to let her sucker punch me with episodes like this. When is enough enough? I’m exhausted. Sometimes I believe I’ve used up so much of myself trying to help her and be there for her that when my own children may need me in the future that there may not be en
I got hold of some xanax recently (actual ones, NOT bought from the street), around 80 0.5mg pills, but I have no prescription for them obviously. I heard that possessing benzos like this counts as Class C in the UK. I would have them for personal use and by no means I would sell them. The question is, would this be illegal, and count as smuggling? Would they even notice if I had the pills in my suitcase?

I hear about those websites all the time. Super low cost, for people who do not have insurance. I found one in particular, and I’m not exactly sure how to feel about it. How can you just go online and buy Vicodin, Adderall, Xanax all at once? Is that legal?
The website I found and am thinking of ordering from is easybuymeds.com
I don’t want to get scammed or ripped off. If anyone has any information about this website, or another one that is legit please let me know. I’m very interested.

I have been taking 1mg a day for about the last 6 months. Problem is i do not have insurance and can not afford to buy them, plus i dont feel as tho i need them anymore, i am doing really well in public and i am having less panic attacks. I tried to not take them one day and got really really ill. i JUST started a new job and cannot really afford to take time off but i cannot work when i am going thru the withdrawals they feel horrible. I dont have insurance so i cant just go get more. I was wondering if there was any easier way to deal with these withdrawals or if i am going to HAVE to go to the hospital to deal with it?
(they were perscribed to me, i was on workers comp and my workers comp case is closed, so i cant get my meds anymore)
And i have gone down to only .5mg a day, i take it right before i go to sleep.
The more I read the more scared I get. How are we going to afford heating the house, buying food, getting gas, and everything else this winter?? So, how are you handling it? I would love to know…..and, for now, I’m just going to take another xanax. LOL.

I am taking a red eye from L.A. to Pitts with my 2 kids. I’m still breastfeeding so medication is out of the question (most people tell me to take xanax). I recently bought a book on fear of flying and an audio book for the car. But I just saw a recent unexplained crash on AirFrance and know I am over the top with flight jitters, help!!!!! I already feel sick just thinking about getting on the flight.
It is illegal to buy xanax and vicodin online!without a prescription from a doctor, so it is very , very big chance, that anyone, who posts a link for a xanax site is just a scammer taking an advantage of this sitaution.
You can save some money if you order other meds online, just check the pharmacies very careful before you buy anything.
Here are some tips from my experience with online drugstores.
One thing I know for sure - do not buy anything from a pharmacy that sends spam emails, I know a few guys who been ripped that way, including myself.
When you have found something that looks like a good and trusted pharmacy, check if the pharmacy has got a live support chat or a support phone number. If you have any doubts I suggest to contact the support staff before placing any orders, because if your shipping will be delayed or if there will be any other problems, it is better you have already tested the quality of support they can provide. Also ask the support what are their shipping and refund policies.http://www.half-price-pharmacy.net probably is one of the cheapest sites online. Have ordered a couple times, the meds work ok, just as the ones I can get at Wal Mart. It is from the UK and I feel much better ordering from a British pharmacy than a pharmacy from India or Mexico.
