God-damn my soul.

You ‘won’t take Thorazine’? You god-damned will when your pendulum swings in a mental hospital. You don’t mind the lithium tremors? Are you proud of your medications? I cannot imagine a psychiatrist in these times prescribing all the shite you swallow.

Xanax has the same Good Name as opioids these days. And it’s just as cautiously prescribed. Xanax is indicated for those with anxiety and panic disorders; not for ‘anger’ issues.

I’m shocked that recommendations for so many controlled substances are being thrown out, willy-nilly-willy, as remedies for less-than-lethal concerns.

A mod is really needed, I suppose, to define ‘support.’ My suggestion, should the OP reside in a more enlightened State, is some form of medicinal marijuana. Controlled, yes. Federally illegal? Oh, yes. Soothing and calming and helpful for many - but not all - types of pain? A-1.

But cannabis is not as addictive as alprazolam. A user won’t die from seizures going through cannabis withdrawal.

I should delete my account. Nothing but my ire is raised when I read of those wallowing in their symptoms and wishing to drag others along, diagnosing and dispensing psychotropic medications.
