NOT SO HAPPY WITH HAPPY PILLS!!!

It's 4:30 AM and I have been up since 4 AM. In all fairness, I never got off the couch from about 3PM on---AND I MEAN I AM SITTING HERE SNOOZING AND DOZING. I just can't seem to get going. LETHARGIC! For 2 days now! THIS IS NOT ME! I have LOTS I need to be doing------SO

I read the possible side effects of the HAPPY :) PILLS! HUMMMM--drowsiness/sleepiness/lethargic (:!

So since I am a self proclaimed self healer----I am backing off those suckers SLOWLY---I DO have enough sense to not quit cold turkey. I went on them slowly---I was up to full strength and after the first day of full strength--I am not able to function. So I'll back off them slowly. I will wait and see how I am functioning after total weaning----but sleeping all the time is NOT what I call functioning!


ON ANOTHER NOTE-----the deer walked into my garden which is a 2 foot drop from the yard and on stone---and totally stripped the potato vine of leaves in one of my pots. I GIVE UP---JUST EAT IT ALL AND I WILL PUT PLASTIC FLOWERS OUT INSTEAD! LOVELY--it will look like a country cemetery!

I did the exact same thing! It has been 20+ years and I hear they are better nowdays, but not having any feelings at all....being in neutral was not my idea of a good time or any other kind! I decided I would rather feel my feelings no matter how bad they were. Now something for sleeping...that is a different animal and I am all for that!
