Yes Criminal Minds is on Netflix, it's kind of like those SVU shows. I have season seven of the Big Bang Theory waiting for me at the Library, may wait and watch it with Sierra this weekend, we LOVED getting junk food (fast food) and pigging out while watching Big Bang. She has already asked me if she can go somewhere on Saturday night with her friends...*sigh*...it's not like I expect her to sit on my lap for 3 days or something, but dang. LOL

ok.....drug question
I do not sleep well...doc has had me on klonopin for years....what does anyone know about Xanax vs. Seroquel.....
I need something to help me sleep and keep mild anxiety at bay...but I have to be able to get up and function in the mornings

sorry about the double post...computer went wonky

I have been on Ativan, Xanax and am currently on Librium. Librium is my favorite one so far, but I feel like I am building up a tolerance to it (quickly too). At first it would knock me out but now it's taking more and more. I am going to my Doc on the 26th. I find that Benadryl knocks me out more than any of the others I mentioned above. I assume Melatonin doesn't work for you??

[K9Lover]

but to edit my last post...Librium DOES work well for the anxiety....

[mama bear]

no...melatonin, ambien, lunesta...those don't work

[K9Lover]

Wow....you're a hard gal to knock out! LOL

[mama bear]

I know right.....I am the one in a million that gets the strange side effects..sleep walking in the front yard on Ambien, for example. And I had not been drinking!!

[mama bear]

maybe I'll add Benadryl to my klonipin.....I have taken it for years and have built up a tolerance as well. PLus, my doc said insomnia or poor sleep is yet another wonderful benefit of menopause....

[mama bear]

home made chili simmering and planning on watching Rudolph with hubs....

I take benedryl if I cant sleep...never taken anything else. Melatonin didn't work for me either. mama yes it is a problem in menopause...sigh like we need something else messing with us.....ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi guys. Busy day at work! I was informed today that the tech who covers my co worker and I will no longer be allowed to do so. My co worker Ann just got back fromvisitin her sick dad and will be off two weeks in January, am I expected now to cover her and my hours. That would be 50 hours a week. My boss has mentioned nothing to me. I'm pretty upset that this is "expected" of me. What do you guy think?

Happy that you guys are seeing your babies!

Dottie , my hubby bought stafford memory foam "shoes". They are back and are a bit dressier than sneakers, but are super comfortable. Just a thought.

Mama, I have taken Ativan and was hallucinating. Not for me. I occasionally take a Xanax. I have actually taken Dramamine and that works great. My sleep has improved greatly without taking anything, thankfully.

Hope everyone has a good nights sleep!

Liz I think that is expecting way too much but I have been there done that....yet another reason I am glad I am retired...employers take advantage because they know folks don't have many choices....sucks..
