How long have you been doing poetry?
Congratulations on the anniversary! I’m on the following meds:
Sertraline (Zoloft)- An SSRI anti depressant.
Hydroxyzine- as needed 4 anxiety / helps me sleep at night as well
Vyvanse- ADHD
Lisinopril- High blood pressure
Pravastatin- cholesterol (recommended for diabetics)
I meet with the prescriber usually every month or two, and my therapist every two weeks and these meds are adjusted in dosage as necessary. It was frustrating at first and then I read a comment that put it all in perspective for me:
Alcohol (or whatever your drug of choice was) has altered the chemistry of our brains. And sometimes, depending on how severe that alteration is, requires medication. And that involves a lengthy process or seeing how we react to certain medications and how long these effects last, and make adjustments as necessary.
As a completely sober individual I'm not capable of taking any medication or providing medical advice. However, it's important to follow the advice of a licensed healthcare provider regarding medication and treatment options. It's great that you have a skincare routine and enjoy taking care of your fiance's skin. Pursuing a career as an esthetician can be a fulfilling and rewarding path. Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary, and I hope you have a restful night's sleep.
Honey I’m on clonidine and suboxne! I been clean 202 days today from a bad opioid addiction!
