Im usually not one to tell people not judge someone, but lets say he has a wife, and 2-3 kids.

Its flue season and also just a sickly time of year. What do you think is more likely? Someone taking upwards of 8 pills, or someone picking up a bunch of prescriptions for possibly the entire family?

benadryl every night to sleep

CBD oil for spot treating anxiety or when I've just had too much coffee.

Yeah

Not nearly as well as a benzo obviously, but it definitely takes the edge off. I put a couple milligrams of the oil under my tongue for a minute and let it sit before swallowing.

Its the best herbal/holistic remedy I've found outside of cannabis indica (which I do as well, but obviously can't before/during work).

41. Never been on medication. I can’t even remember the last time I took anything over the counter for a cold.

It may be annoying, but if they help keep your brain chemistry where you need it to be, be thankful for them.

My wife has BP and she takes the smallest dosages available of lithium and lamictal. Exercise, proper sleep, meditation, and those small doses keep her 5 by 5. She doesn't like taking them, but knows how much they help her.

Cheers to you for being responsible with your health.

yea i am thinking about trying it instead of getting on pills

My doctor will call in 6 xanax and I take a half when I feeling anxious. 6 will last me about 2 months.

Like someone else said, this is a perfect example of over medication. Get off the BC and your dependence on thyroid meds would decrease dramatically. It’s a shame a doc would allow that. Those do not play well together.

This concept might be too hard to grasp for some of the idiots in this thread HC.

But yes....PCOS and several other women issues are commonly treated with birth control pills.

If we are including otc, I take a good bit of ibuprofen. Also pop Zyrtec when the allergies get bad.

ibuprofen and adderall

Adderall is the truth. I take it before the gym and I take a little in the mornings before work but not always. I can't take too much it makes me a weirdo during my meetings. I can't be running meetings like an autist
