Mrs. Nasher (Ally) and I really appreciate your concern, we do.
I didn't make myself clear enough, I wanted to see if my pain meds were ready (they were) because I wanted pick them up while I was out and about taking care of other business. I don't like to make two or three trips in one day if I don't have to.
It wasn't so much that I was jonesing for the pills (I wasn't) it's just I wanted to stop by the pharmacy after the doctor's office.
I called them in on Friday, I didn't even bother to see if they were ready until today.
If I had my druthers I'd rather not take the pain killers at all, some people like the high, I personally think the high sucks, but they are so damn effective. I never run out of my monthly allotment before the refill date, a sure fire sign that you do not have a problem with opioids.
The other meds I'm on (blood pressure and vitamins) are never problem either, the one med (Adderall) that's the one I keep an eye on.
I'm prescribed Adderall for a couple of reasons mainly for sleep as I have worked the overnights for many years, and for focus .
As a Mainframe IT Operations Analyst working graveyard without a safety net so to speak you need to be focused especially when the upcoming business day depends on what I'm doing.
Adderall is a wonder drug, I like to call it cocaine in a pill. And if one isn't careful it can be addictive.
I love it, I can think and focus like a cobra on it, the high is nice, but you really have to be careful.
I've been on it for 20 years without a problem so I don't see a problem with it going forward.
