"wellbuetrin (get off the couch). zoloft (be happy). pristiq (be happier). xanax (chill out). adderall (get &#039;er done, efficiently). dexilant (ulcer, of course).  lisinopril (blood pressure).  up. down. up. down.  and then....because i felt so awful and helpless, pain pills.  i&#039;m a smart girl.  i understand the epidemic and the risk of addiction, but didn&#039;t care.  went into new dr. (one that finally didn&#039;t just take out a prescription pad and ask me &quot;what do you want?&quot;, but asked questions to better understand me.  the plan?  to taper off a ton of these drugs (not cold turkey), and prescribed lamictal.  game changer.  less meds for liver.  more money in my pocket.  more genuine calmness and happiness. seriously, game changer"
