Yeah I did. Ended up taking somewhat less of the eye drops accidentally than I should, but not so much I can't make up for it. Thats because of a pig encounter, when I heard they were here from my old man. Although this time they were here to, so to speak, cop an earful.

But didn't know what it was about at first, and courtesy of PTSD fixing to rear its ugly face again, I took a solid dose of a couple of different strong anti-anxiety meds I have a few of around, and after I was finished berating them on behalf of the rest of the pigs, sending them back with fleas to stick in the ears of the other pigs, the stuff fully kicked in, and I've only just woken up about 3/4 hour ago or thereabouts. Took an extra dose of pain meds due to the eye, plus my antiseizure med, the chlormethiazole (probably the last of the real good honest old-school tranqs around here these days that weren't taken off the market for abuse potential and or being too effective. And hopefully it won't be either, although it isn't a difficult synthesis itself, along with 10mg nitrazepam and some of an adrenal blocker-in a manner of speaking it is anyway, blocks noradrenaline release and I use it as a muscle relaxer usually but this time it was to effectively short-circuit any fight-flight response before it crawled out of the womb. Chemical coathanger. Worked a treat. Someone's going to find something pink and ugly in their wheelie bin with a coathanger stuck up the .....less said the better:autism:

That lot plus the additional pain meds pretty much floored my ass, all day. Might not even have been up for 3/4 hour even, guessing really, I've had about enough time to stick eye drops in my eye (well where else would you stick eye drops:P), eat a can of rice pudding I'd been keeping cold in the fridge, have a piss and roll a smoke. Plus more stinkin' eye fucking drops.  God damn though I AM grateful for at least one of them, well two, the dexamethasone is helping with the irritation, and the local anaesthetic is letting me take off my welding goggles for short periods if I really need to see something in the pitch dark with my good eye.

Lol...hope that shit the pigs up too, my having to answer the door wearing a pair of welding goggles like shades

  Yes I did, including Prilosec and ibuprofen for my middle-aged woes.  :P

I stopped taking the Ritalin. It's great for getting things done, but absolutely killed my creativity. It's like it switched my brain over to the left brain and shut down the right side. My productivity increased markedly, but I just didn't enjoy things like I used to. Everything was broken down into quantifiable attributes, and I lost appreciation for aesthetics and the small details that make life worthwhile.

Is that what brings you back? (or was it Jack, as usual?)
In any case, welcome back :)

Thanks, just randomly checking in. Life's kept me pretty bust the past few years.

Neither The PR nor I have taken our meds today.  Nor will we this evening.  If she's still sick tomorrow, I'll call the dr. for advice on how to handle them.

Took mine late but still took them.

Have a psychiatrist appointment on the 16th of December, going to ask about alternative meds to haloperidol.

We're both much, much better, so yes.
