Nice ed! I turn 21 in June as well! =)
On lunch so I have to be brief... Sorry to have offended anyone with the term 'narcotic,' I do recognize the significant role opiates play in managing chronic pain. Especially those like fentanyl which have been made accessable to those like lunesta -- which at not to long ago would have been unheard of. (Though opiates were once a treatment for depression... and even still at times today!)
The first thread by lunesta aroused my initial concern, the thread seemed to convey a sense of drug-induced stupor. (I don't mean stupid when I say that -- so please don't be offended!)
All I know is that many times patients are prescribed medications from different doctors without the knowledge of what other medications are already in use. This can put the patient in potential jeopardy, so I only wanted to express my concern considering what had been presented. I do not know the whole story -- and am merely making statements based on what I can surmise from the original post. Gotta Run!
Regards,
Matt
