I just took three Xanax. Ask me anything!

[Bertha Venation]

Bring it on!

[Fenris]

1. Three's a lot! What's the dosage?

[Bertha Venation]

5. 0.5 mg

:shrug:

[Fenris]

7. I can usually just take one

For panic attacks/severe anxiety/afternoons when I don't want to feel.

[Bertha Venation]

11. that's the goal -- not feeling

and it works fast! wooo.....

[Fenris]

14. Yes, Ma'am!

It's fast! I once took it on the way to have an ingrown toenail removed. My mom said it was the happiest thirty minutes I ever had. And that's sad. :P

[catzies]

2. No I won't! Go lie down right now!

It'll be tomorrow before you know it.

[Bertha Venation]

6. I wish.

:boring: would be nice.

[jus_the_facts]

13. I's about to ask.....are ya gettin'....S...L...E...E...P...Y yet?

....those things'll knock ya OUT!! :evilgrin:

[Bertha Venation]

19. Nope.

Don't expect to. I just expect to mellow.

Please, god.

[DevinDNC]

3. Ann Coulter

Why does the RNC embrace Ann Coulter, when she is an obvious nutcase, and an embarrasment to America.

[Bertha Venation]

4. because she's nucking futs enough to

spout their shit in public and act like they believe it. They can't find too many people who will do that.

[pagerbear]

8. Why, oh why, oh why-oh?

Why did I ever leave Ohio?

[Bertha Venation]

16. because they don't tolerate Bears very well there?

Hmm?

[Burma Jones]

9. Brrgh Grrgh Werrrgh Cleppoterrrgh?

Have a nice nap

[madmax]

10. Bertha

Ask your doctor about Lexapro. Taking care of my Mom who had a stroke for four years and my son who was diagnosed with cancer took it's toll on me. Panic attacks, depression, blah, blah. I asked for Xanax but, my dr. prescribed Lexapro. This stuff is great! I sleep like a teen-ager, no more panic or anxiety attacks. My memory is back - well sort of ;) No side affects whatsover.

They should put this stuff in the water. :evilgrin:

[Bertha Venation]

15. tried it, max . . .

it didn't work for shit. I take Zoloft, and Xanax prn. Zoloft isn't doing too great lately, either -- hence the 3 Xanax!

I took Effexor for a while, and it was fantastic -- 'til I had a heart attack because of the blood pressure spike. :(

Your son - jesus. I'm sorry.

But I'm way glad the Lexapro works for you!

[madmax]

21. Thank you

Please don't over medicate yourself. :hug:

I think we'll all be feeling much better once bush is out of the White House.

[otohara]

12. Ahhh...

lucky you...3 should take away the pain of knowing Bush is the president for about 5 hours.

[Westegg]

17. Can you come over...

...and operate some heavy machinery for me?

[Bertha Venation]

20. Sorry. I'm busy operating my own.

The phone's getting pretty heavy . . . and these damn keys are stuck . . . .

[Westegg]

23. Solution? Gram of coke and pint of Wild Turkey...

You'll have yourself one hell of an evening.

[jus_the_facts]

25. YEAH....let's PAR~TAY!!!

.....sounds gooooood to ME!! WOOO HOOOO!!!! :evilgrin:

[Bertha Venation]

26. nah . . . just a few shots of Cuervo Gold

oughta do the trick . . . unless you know where I can get some grass in Southern Maryland. :shrug:

[SammyWinstonJack]

30. That would probably be better for ya

>unless you know where I can get some grass in Southern Maryland. :shrug:

[Bertha Venation]

33. never partoked . . .

wouldn't know the first thing about where to go or how to roll . . . i'd probably light the wrong end.

[geniph]

18. Laura? Is that you?

Hell, I'd be popping anxiolytics like candy if I were married to the shrub, myself.

By the way Bertha-whose-name-is-not-Heidi (see, I can read!), ask your doc about Klonopin. It's a bit more hefty than Xanax, for those of us that have nuclear-class panic attacks.

[PVnRT]

22. Wh g i o ?

/t

[Bertha Venation]

27. heh heh -- I like all the gobbledy-gook responses!

I recognize that they're gobbledy-gook! Makes me feel like I'm in control!

[PVnRT]

28. !lortnoc ni er'uoy kniht ylno uoY

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAWB

[Bertha Venation]

31. eh?

how's that? heh heh :7

I AM in congrorlt! Farb now the glimrod!

[AgadorSparticus]

39. ?lla ew t'nod

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

24. Sounds like Mrs. Bertha might be getting lucky tonight

and it might be a good night for that pasta recipe I gave you, because sex and pasta go together!

[Bertha Venation]

29. Already tried the pasta recipe -- it was great!

And yes, um . . . I can testify to the sex thing. :evilgrin:

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

35. Glad you liked it! n/t

n/t

[UrbScotty]

32. To quote a spam email message I got recently...

"Would you like a bigger peniz?"

What the heck is a 'peniz?'

[LynneSin]

34. Do you know this person?

[Bertha Venation]

37. bloody fucking hell, no -- this is a LEGAL prescription in MY name!

Hah!

[ronnykmarshall]

40. Was Laura Bush waiting outside the pharmacy?

I'm surprised she didn't try score a few off ya!

[LynneSin]

45. Heck she'd probably jump them if they had Xanax

:shrug:

[Bertha Venation]

48. why -- what's this about her & drugs?

I've heard nothing.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

36. Xanax! My drug of choice...

if I were to actually do drugs. :)

I am terrified of flying, so I hit the ol' Xanax when it's time to take to the skies. I have it down to a science - .75 an hour and half before flight time, another .75 40 minutes before take-off. That way I am nice and relaxed the entire time I'm waiting at the airport. Any drug that makes me care less if I go down in a fiery ball is okay by me!

What's really funny is when I have dreams where I am getting on a plane to travel, I always remember to take my Xanax -- IN MY DREAM. That's how scared I am of flying!

[Westegg]

38. Xanax plus Lexapro equals...

...A world I can almost tolerate. I too need Xanax before flying. No other way I'm getting on the plane. Those fuckers are death traps. At least with Xanax, I've stopped examining the rivets on the plane door before I get in (which always caused problems for the people behind me in line). If there's a connecting flight, well, honey, that's another Xanax down the hatch. Lexapro, which I ingest daily, is the first SSRI I can handle, but I need MORE when I fly. And I ain't found a doctor yet who'll supply me with morphine...

[Hell Hath No Fury]

47. I'm waiting for...

the invention of the Xanax drip! :)

[Padraig18]

41. Give me 2 or 3 too, Kim!

This has been a God-awful day for me!

[Bertha Venation]

43. Sigh. I know. I' so sorry.

About the msgr, about the doctor . . . :hug:

[Nikia]

42. Wow, that's a lot

I have panic attacks occaisionally. One usually brings me down pretty quickly. When I had a really bad one and made the neighbor take me to the hospital, they gave me two after one didn't get me down. Then I felt megstoned and barely remmeber anything else the entire evening.
Do you take beta blockers? They can help both with the cardiac issues and anxiety. Learning to breathe helps too.

[Bertha Venation]

44. Yeah, I take a beta blocker.

Was taking it when I had the heart attack. The Effexor was just too much. But damn, it worked better than anything I've ever taken. Figures.

I didn't know the BB helped w/ anxiety -- wouldn't know it to look at me, lately. :) Thanks, Nikia.

[NashVegas]

46. Have You Tried Any Alternatives?

Moderate excersize is great for giving the stress that's causing the attacks an outlet to channel itself through. Yoga was the best I found.

I once had a "Xanax Winter" and it got to the point where I'd rather head outdoors for a *very* brisk walk at the outset of an attack than have to spend whole days where everything was just .. okay.

[Bertha Venation]

49. no

I'm in a big fat ugly fucking blue funk. Alternatives like actual activity don't occur to me. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
