[br]What a gift to wake up this morning, just when I was about to call the pharmacy to get the script for requip, and find the post about drug companies.  I have really struggled with the TV ads as my posts have indicated, and I often want to GIVE UP AND FIND AN EASIER WAY rather than do the TMS work.  This post inspired me to commit to re-reading the psychological parts of Sarno's stuff.

These drug companies are so evil.  I remember when Neurontin came out and all the Fibromyalgia docs were pushing it.  I thought I needed it for about 5 years.  I thought I needed the restless leg stuff for about 4 years.

Fear keeps sabotaging my recovery - either with the RLS or with anxiety.  Meds of any kind look so carefree, easy, and without a down side.  I don't know about anyone else, but I find the lure of the meds the worst part of challenging myself and the medical profession.   If there were no meds I think I might be more able to focus on using my own skills.  I think it's the same with antidepressants - many of us have been convinced that there is no downside.  Why not take something to deal with stress, loss, anxiety, fear, disorganization, etc.  What's the harm.  I am here to attest that every drug I have tried for every aspect of TMS - whether it be physical manifestation or psychological - has taken me years to get off. Because a person often ruled by fear, it's hard to let go of something that you THINK might just be something that is helping or that you need.
