Xanax.

I refuse point-blank to believe what other gb'ers say these days.
There's too much internal rivalry for me to take anything as gospel any more.
Nowadays, I prefer to take everyone at face value.
If I find out later that it was bs, fine -I'll deal with it then.

I didn't believe it either until someone linked his early posts. Facts is facts.

His drug experience appears to me as one of personal use.

 

[BossMan62]

A couple of Xanex and some killer weed, makes you think you're in heaven.

(Miles knows even less about who I am than he does about Xanax)

 

[koalabear]

Ahhhh...so Merc is back to his physician persona again. Sorry the stock broker gig didn't work out.

They foreclosed on his cyber stockbroker office, pereg was there to see it.

May I ask then, are you a physician or financial adviser?

I'm a psychiatrist with a sub-specialty. Not going to say what it is because there are only a few of me and Miles has a track record of deducing who people are in rl and posting their personal information on porn sites.

I occasionally discuss stocks and investing sometimes because my wife and I invest and I find it interesting. Miles thinks this this means I'm a stock broker.

diagnose miles for us!

That would require a whole medical team. In Vienna or something.

with half-moon glasses to frown over?
and leather elbow patches?

...do you have leather elbow patches?
if you don't then miles might be right!

 

[ChinaBandit]

I take back what I said about the personal drug use. Sorry!

I remember some flap about miles but did not know it involved posting factual information somewhere without permission.

 

[fair_warning]

I hope it would include lots of electric shock treament.

Is there a medication on the market that doesn't come with side effects?


And didn't you, WQ, make an entire thread about your ex's wife and how you're going to take away her kids? I might be confused but if this is the case, maybe they have a reason to fear you.

My grandfather believed that all women were evil and were going to give him a disease, even if they just sneezed in the immediate vicinity. Psychosis sucks and paranoia is even worse. It seems like some, many, people would rather risk the side effects than deal with the mental issues non-stop.

Is LJ your grandfather?

I wish I had restless leg syndrome, that drug has all the good side effects;
Increased compulsive gambling and wanting more sex......AWESOME!

Psychiatrists today or lazy and owned by the pharmaceutical industry. Take one of these and call me in the morning.....

No, he's dead now. LJ is actually nicer than he was, imagine that.

And it's not just psychiatry but most of the medical profession as a whole. But we also have a general population that expect to be medicated no matter what is wrong with them. To put it all on the doctors isn't accurate.

Advertising works.... I wonder if the drug companies advertise in other countries.

OHHHH look I have that!

Influence from advertising isn't the same thing as ownership.

i'm sure i have prostate cancer but the doctor won'r believe me.

 

[RobDownSouth]

I'm watching a segment on this drug, and there are many doctors here and in the USA who are saying this drug is 100 times more addictive than heroin.
They are also saying that Xanax, despite being used as a treatment for panic attacks and anxiety, actually cause MORE anxiety over the first few weeks of it being taken.
Coming off it can cause hallucinations, fits, rebound depression, and a whole host of other withdrawel symptome.
Not only that, but the tablets also cause blackouts in certain people, leading to dangerous behaviour (driving while under the influence, etc), and there has also been a determined link to dementia. The longer you are on it, the more chance you have of developing dementia.
Scary stuff!

I was in the hospital for an operation last month and a woman in the room next door to me shrieked and screamed literally all night. I asked a nurse what on earth they were doing to that poor woman and she told me that the woman was going through Xanax withdrawal and they couldn't resume her Xanax until 24 hrs post-anesthesia.

Quite an ugly night.

Your hospital kinda sucks at patient privacy.

Would you like a second opinion...a probe may be in order

It is early here. I am sure you have a veiled point there, but I missed it.

Yeah. Your point isn't accurate.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

Yeah. Your point isn't accurate.

My point was that advertising works......, that is not just my point but my exact words.

If you have evidence that it does not, please share with the world. The billions you can save companies and politicians will be a boon to society.

Eh? What's your point? Let me know when you settle on one I guess.
