Hi Johnny, hope you are well

Well, I guess if it helps and it does good to you - then I guess it'll be ok.
On the other hand, you may become Stevie Nicks of the 1990's.

I understand why this would be frightening but as long as you stick to the advised dosage (one a night) I think you'll be ok. Bear in mind that Stevie said many, many times that her Doctor kept upping her dose so who knows how many she was on by the end. The crucial thing is to monitor yourself throughout the day and if you don't feel right or have bad side effects then discuss them with your doctor. There may be other medications that are more appropriate.

take it as prescribed. and don't go to LA looking for physicians who write open-ended RX's. and don't give them to your personal assistants.

WWSD? Immediately run out of the doctor's office, I think she once advised.

However, she's silly.

You'll be fine...assuming you're not kicking some other chemical dependancy, à la our beloved Stevie at the time.

Prescription drugs aren't the answer to anything.Either are doctors. Maybe opt for something more natural

From someone who has had multiple medical procedures and operations that have saved his life, I find this statement remarkably offensive....... and tinged with ignorance.
