this combo of meds i'm on now (i space out some days and forget to take - like today whoops) i am fine to drive on. i have to drive a lot with work and 3 kids - small pickins compared to your 8 lol!!! and they used to call me Fertile Myrtle :P
good for you going to give the doc a try. i don't look at it as some terminal thing that i'll have to do forever. but i do appreciate the meds for now. since i'm not self-medicating with pot and alcohol anymore, and I need to work, and raise kids right now. someday i be lyin on that beach somewhere... healed... needin no meds

like when i'm 80 hehe
