Gandalf, I couldn't help noticing this. What I am confused on is several times you complain that your doctor doesn't give you enough meds to handle your pain but then you blast the doctor of the OP's mother as wanting to give more and more pills. Which is it, complain about not giving enough pills or wanting more and more pills? I'm very confused. I understand that the cases are different, depression versus chronic pain but what gives?

What I would like to know is if the OP's mother receives psychotherapy or not.

Defense mechanisms are a true barrier to recovery.
FakeBoobsRule Reviewed by FakeBoobsRule on . Sad... So my mom is 60 years old. she is on 11 medications for diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, and various other needless things. The one that really scares me the most is the anti-depressant. She's been on anti-depressants since my dad died 14 years ago. They have changed the medication so many times I can't keep up, because she keeps building tolerances. Everytime they get a new "wonder" drug she's on it, because after 14 years I guess it's hard to find one that works. Without the pill Rating: 5
