I've been prescribed a very short course (six days) of zoplicone. Bit nervous of taking it, in case I get psychotic again (it seems that hallucinations can be a side effect) but if it works it might get me falling to sleep before three am again. The only thing that's currently "wrong" with me is that my sleep pattern is up the wall.
So wish me luck tonight... I'll try it once and see what happens. |

I have wake up medicine and go to sleep medicine and high blood pressure medicine and hypothyroid medicine and OTC medicine for arthritis pain which has been nasty this winter.
I hate all the medicine but I'd probably be dead as a doornail without it. I'd have surely had a stroke or heart attack by now, what with my blood pressure being so damn high.

Looks to me, for some reason, patients in the US are taking more meds than patients in the UK... is there a reason for that?

US makes billions of medications, doctors prescribe more because they get more money from doing so.

Pharmaceutical companies target patients? Most of us don't have the medical expertise to make a good choice, or know about drug interactions, and if you have a mental health disorder what are the chances that you'll always make the best decisions anyway? Good grief, that's awful!

That is a real risk, I know there are medications I can't get here that are available to you guys. (Melatonin is one.) And there are cancer medications out there that we can't get here either.

New meds do not necessarily work better than the old ones. It has been documented that testers tend not to publish negative outcomes, and exaggerate the positive benefits.
I am not really anxious about beeing deprived of new meds. So far, I am content with my cocktail (although it lacks an umbrella on top) |
