3. You mean that Yankees sports network? |
|
Do they really show stuff on the Yankees 24/7, 365 days a year? Because that's kind of freaky gimpy.

.... I take a low dose of a well-known (but poorly understood) mineral that prevents lots of unpleasantness. I said lots, not all :)

Paroxetine, famotidine, and nortriptyline daily; Ativan sometimes; Canadian Tylenol for headaches and such; and viscous lidocaine for mouth pain.
That isn't much compared to a few years ago, when my daily meds were fluoxetine, bupropion, then a BIG dose of Compazine, followed by some other anti-nausea stuff (the name escapes me), amifostine, heparin, morphine, fentanyl, and Saligen.

12. Tylenol with codeine and caffeine |
|
It's sold without prescription in Canada, and it's the best migraine medicine I've ever had. (Does jack-all for cramps though.)

13. Does it have a lot of codine in it? |
|
You can't get anything with a narcotic in it in this country without a script. And it almost impossible to get a script too.

Something like 5 mg, I think. Less than prescription Tylenol-3.
I think the US attitude toward opiate and opioid painkillers is silly; there's a presumption that everyone who takes them will get addicted, and that just isn't so. I took pure morphine for many months, did not become addicted, and had no untoward effects when I went off of it. But doctors *still* look at me with suspicion when I request short-term Percoset prescriptions for mouth pain.

15. I wouldn't want to take that much tylenol for that little amt. of codine. |
|
I really shouldn't take any tylenol at all.

I only need it to help me make it through the Christmas Holidays without becoming a basket case.
Some years I use Prozac - It just depends what health plan I'm on at the time. :-)
