Chris A: What kind of lethal med did your spouse keep around for influenza? I am just curious...
> I was wondering the same thing.....Dear David and Shirley,
Forgive me for getting your curiosity aroused. I
edited out the name of the med from my first post,
because I don't want for someone else to off
themselves with it. I know how tempting it was
for me. It is too available from harried primary
care docs at this time of year who may not be
attentive to the risk for suicide because patients
needing the meds are presenting with other symptoms.
Hopefully my hubby learned that when he's prescribing that
patients only need half of what he dragged home to
ameliorate the course of Influenza A. He's a pack rat
and my last serious attempt (almost seven years ago)
was mostly on samples he had stashed in the garage.
He doesn't bring any samples home anymore, which is fine
with me. If we really are in need of something we can get
it 24 hours a day less than two miles away.Frankly, I am sick of fighting this battle with suicidal
ideation/pressure/bipolar II and either need to get out or
get a life. Both are easier said than done. I have
the best medical/psychological care available in my
area, so guess it's up to me. I even have a good
family - I just need to appreciate them more.
