Look at it this way, though, Burnable. People aren't necessarily alway using a prescribed drug to escape or relieve a normal human emotion or condition. Besides, the statistics tell us that when they are, they're just as likely to be self-medicating with an illicit substance or alcohol.

It's been my experience that people are more frequently using prescribed drugs to help them function better, not simply escape emotions. Issues like fear/anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder and heavier psychiatric problems can truly affect people's quality of life, and I don't see the use of medicines to keep those conditions in check as something that shouldn't be considered. For some reason medicines that are used for mental health issues get slammed unnecessarily. But if someone had diabetes or cancer or heart disease, no one would hesitate for a moment to treat those issues medically. I just want people to keep an open mind.

Lexapro is an SARI antidepressant that happens to also be particularly helpful, at least for many, in treating anxiety. Here's some info about it.

Topamax is an anti-seizure drug that is also beneficial for treating headaches.

When I was a young stay-at-home mom--and I only had one baby for whom I was responsible--I had a phase of bad headaches. As it turned out, I wasn't getting enough rest and wasn't exercising enough or eating as well as I could. I was also trying to work from home and take care of the baby. It was a rough period. The exercise and balanced diet do a lot for me in helping me manage stress, even now. Fortunately, that phase passed. But that's a decidedly rough time. I think that's lovely that you're a stay-at-home dad.
