    Rum. The nectar of paradise.

    Also:
    Now that it’s called “Medical” (wink), Marijuana is a distant second. I never liked pills.  This post was edited by Don Barzini at February 17, 2018 11:31 AM MST

    Love has always been the best medicine for me.
    It seems to cure many issues.

    CAUTION:
    It's also very easy to get addicted to it and then not want to live without it.

      That's a good one. I have a problem with my prescription of it, though; I reach for the bottle marked Love Pills and I always get the Lust Pills by mistake.   Oh well (sigh) . . .

    Metoprolol. Keeps my blood pressure and heart rate down after my heart attack 13 years ago.

    I forgot to take it for more than 24 hours once and ended up in the ER. Regular sex works pretty good, too. This post was edited by Element 99 at February 17, 2018 12:20 PM MST

    Do you know that alcohol can't be consumed when you take Xanax.  I'm saying this because I'm aware of a disaster due to that mix.

  • I won’t mix any meds with alcohol, even stuff like ibuprofen or Benadryl or even gas x. It makes me super nervous.

    It can make you much more than nervous.  You can completely lose your judgment and decide that jumping off a cliff looks like fun.  Please don't do it.  In fact, don't take that drug (Xanax) unless you can't survive without it.  That goes for all antidepressents, anxiety drugs, and antipsychotics.  Please.

    There is a disability well known in the military, called "bellyache". I got it. Doctors didn't have a clue. It cleared up after a while. I got it again in 1988, and again, doctors didn't have a clue. Again, it cleared up after a while. Same again in 1990 and thought I was going to die screaming, but this time I said "Waitaminnit, this is a spasm, and magnesium relieves spasms." I took a small dose of epsom salt and in ten minutes it was all over. I have kept epsom salt near me at all times since then, and I have not bothered going to see to any doctor.

    I thought 'bellyaching' got you extra duty?

    Probably amoxicillin due to my chronic sinus and ear issues.

    I take few maintenance medicines each day along with a few supplements.  I'm not big on taking meds and getting vaccines. 

    My answer to your question is whatever was in that epidural that I accepted with my second child.
