Sorry about that Robin! ohmygod_smile
I have Graves disease, one of the side effects of it is nausea and vomiting. I also have Gall Stones, which causes nausea, vomiting and pain. So it's a double whammy for me. I have to be very careful what I eat, so the gall bladder doesn't act up. But sometimes, no matter how careful I am, the Graves takes over and I'm praying to the god of cars! (Buuuuick!!!) :lol: So I have a running refill on my nausea meds. No, the xanax doesn't make me loopy unless I take several, they are low dose. 1 or 2 is all I usually take, it's for my anxiety disorder, but works for nausea in a pinch. I took 1 earlier because I was feeling iffy and now the nausea went away, but I feel no other effect from it, except a calmness, I can't get stressed out on them! :lol:
Being the type of drug that it is, I rarely take more than a couple a week and sometimes can go a week or 2 without needing them. It depends on my anxiety level. I'm funny about addictive meds, being a recovering addict and clean since 1992. So when it comes to the xanax or pain meds, I keep close eye on them and I've been on both for years. I get a 2 weeks supply of the pain meds, which used to last a month and now that I'm not working and causing myself pain, that 2 weeks supply lasts for 3 months. I'm also on a pain patch, which controls 90%, so rarely need the pills except for breakthough pain when I do too much physical activity. Or break a toe. ohmygod_smile
There's a bunch of TMI!! :lol: I don't care who knows what about me! :lol: I've had a hell of a life and managed to survive it, so I'm proud of that. :thumbup
Anyone else notice that 'addict' starts with ADD? How funny is that?!?! I never noticed but it sure fits! :lol:
