copy/paste to grab my button:
I saw my doctor yesterday. He basically wanted to make sure my Citalopram was working or if I needed a different anti-depressant.
I explained that 90% of the time I'm good. But then THE NANA.
I did tell him I was deciding between seeing him of carrying a flask. He laughed. I didn't.
I also told him that I just can't. That I'm at Target with her and Grayson and it's MAYHEM. and I can't deal.
I'm now the proud owner of 20 tablets of Valium. with no refills.
He explained that I should probably only take 1 or 2 a week and only when necessary (the nana)
That I should not be taking one to just hang out at the house alone.
I told him that being home alone was awesome by itself.
So at 1 or 2 a week - These SHOULD last me several months.
I hope I still have some after New Years.
Kidding.... mostly.

Whether you have any left after New Years is going to depend on how much time you spend with Nana between now and then......better you than me, hahahahahaha!!
I think you were honest in your approach on why you needed them and I think he was wise to give you the "small stash". I know you will use them wisely and judiciously!
betty
Yay! I am sad to admit that I'm jealous. I need some "crazy nana" meds to take when I feel overwhelmed. Seriously.
Go you! If I didn't hate taking meds...and if I had insurance...I'd be on something.
YEAH for teh smart doctor! He must have a crazy nana too! LOL
Girl, I was thinking about you last night after I went to see my neuro...I made an off the cuff remark about my moods being more up and down than the MS...and got myself a shiny new prescription for a new med. I'm kinda skeered.
Good for you! If possible you might even get by with just half and they can last even longer!
wahoo!! drugs! haha
Your point that being home alone was awesome just cracks me up. My kids are older now (13 and almost 16), but I remember how hard it was when they were little.
I had an overnight stay in the hospital after an ACL repair when the kids were 4 and 7. Family and friends offered to be there with me and I told them to LEAVE ME ALONE! It was better than a spa day! An entire day and night by myself, people waiting on me, bringing me food, and morphine? dude....
Oh to be home alone. The best! I need some of those nana pills only they'd be sister in law pills for me. sigh. ;)
oh to be home alone. and with a glass of wine. and valium. haha I dream big obvi
I'm super proud of you! You did exactly the right thing talking to your doctor and explaining how you're feeling and I'm glad you have a little something extra to help you through the hard times.
I hope you have lots of joy over the holidays and that THE NANA settles down a bit and gives you a break.
Yay for drugs!!
Sounds like you need a babysitter for Nana. :(
Is Nana the MIL or YOUR mom? Just trying to remember. I feel for you. I bet that valium is good stuff.
awesome!
(I too have a crazy mother...I drink a lot more wine when she visits. Don't tell.)
Good luck with the holidays!
LOL...I could use some of those to deal with my in-laws.
