To: Flo, Randy;
I just need to say this I usually stay out and don't give You advice. I have taken medications the majority of My Life. From childhood to adulthood. I needed medications to control seizures as a child. If I did not take them I would most likely would not be here today. In the end I took Phenobarbital 4 pills a day, Dilantin 5 pills a day, and Tegretol 18 pills a day. That was to control the seizures. As an Adult I was able to get off all that medications that I was taking in the end
You medications are not all bad for You. This is were I am going with this. That is why I am saying this in the end. To help You understand that medications can help You.
I started to suffer Insomnia really only sleeping 1 to 2 hours a night. I should have gone to the doctor back then but did not do so. I was suffering Petite Mal Seizures from My Insomnia I had 70 to 100 seizures in 2 to 3 years. But I started drinking beer on a daily bases instead of not going to the doctor like I should have in the end. Today I take Trazodone for the Insomnia.
I have also suffered Depression for over 20 plus years in My Life too. I did not take anything for the depression for years when I really should have done so. Today I take Cymbalta for the depression.
You if I did not start taking medications in the last few years I most likely would not even care to be on the Internet today. Because I would still be to depressed to be on the Internet. And most likely still drinking on a daily bases instead.
Not everybody that takes medications is a bad person either I what to make that very clear. You need to be less judgemental about that I beleive.
If You have AS or even Bipolar it does not matter to Me and You should not be judgemental about that either in the end.
I hope the herbs and teas work for You. But know this even herbs can effect You in ways that might not be good in the end.
I hope for the best for You always.
