I love my new job as an administrative assistant at an orthodontics office!! Just got my scrubs today  |
I've been taking that med for 17 years, if you can believe it. I have never abused it, though i have been prescribed WAY too much. You are talking about a med that is highly addictive and very difficult to stop taking. the risk of seizure is very high - I state that from personal experience. Be very, very careful taking them because you are "bored" which I'm sorry but i don't believe for one second. If you're bored, try playing solitaire. You will build up a tolerance, and next thing you know, it's take 6mg to give you the same calming effect. Seriously, be careful. I'd rather be addicted to heroin.
