Love is the Drug
The best part about my visit to the doctor last week was sure not the trip there on the bus. The only thing that sucks worse than having to go see a doctor when you're sick is having to take the bus to go see a doctor when you're sick.No, it was the lorazepam.
Lorazepam, in case you don't know, and are too lazy to look it up in the Wikipedia, is a happy drug. A chill pill. An anti-anxiety medication. Or, more scientifically, an anxiolytic. It's also categorized as a sedative, an amnesic, an anticonvulsant and, my favourite, a hypnotic.
Gosh, how I love this country!
Sarcasm, Gentle Reader, sarcasm.
But you have to love a country with doctors that'll give you a prescription for an addictive hypnotic and sometime hallucinogenic just for the asking, when you came in to see them for an earache. For that, by the way, they prescribed Robitussin and nasal spray. Over the counter.
And if you think I'm joking, you must be one of my non-American readers.
Next, it's Postmodern Sass's birthday.

the question is, can you drink while on said happy pill? Hope the robitussin's kicked in!
Ah, the American kicks in first. :-)
The warning on the label says, "Alcohol may intensify effects."
I'm thinkin', that's not a bad thing.
It's a shame you didn't have those pills before you had to travel by bus...
There is nothing wrong with a little recreational lorazepam, people. It is necessary for dealing with the vicissitudes of actually being an American, God help us.
I'm sure that I, too, would be able to get off the anti anxiety meds if I were Canadian.
not sure if it is appropriate, but all my alcohol and 'happy pill' combinations have worked quite nicely, thank you very much
