On the topic of pill-popping
| The ever provocative Gawker blog came across an article in a NY magazine about the prevalence of pill-popping in the Big Apple. The article itself doesn't seem to be online, but Gawker neatly summarizes:
In this weekend's Page Six magazine, we met "Andy," a 30-year-old financial manager who occasionally supplements his Propecia, Ambien, Viagra, and Effexor regimen with a Valium or three when a day is "rougher than usual" and the occasional Oxy to improve his beer buzz. We also encountered Kenny, a 27-year-old graphic designer who loves Concerta, Wellbutrin, Klonopin and grapefruit seed extract, and, most sadly, Sylvia, a 31-year-old lawyer who gets through her days with Prozac, Klonopin and Adderall: "I have a big fear of addiction with [Klonopin], but today was a bad depression day so I took it at work." Holy shit, this makes it seem like people take a ton of prescription drugs! Feeling undermedicated, we immediately started asking everyone we know whether they were on something.
Which, you know, sounds like a great question to ask right here on DoseNation! What gets you through the day these days? Is your pill collection bigger than the average CD collection, or do you just muddle by on caffeine and, sob, that little bit of hope you've got left over from childhood that hasn't been mercilessly stomped by the brutal whims of modern reality?

Really though, if I had a script for Ritalin and a benzo(I like serax), I could probably cut down most of that to nothing. Damn medical files and their DSBs.....
