I gotsta git me sum of dem, I'm all outta weed and it's down right depressing!
My Doctor prescribe me Abilify, and Seroquel.. (Both Anti-Psychotcs) after talking with me for 15 second: trouble sleeping.. Take These.
ReplyDeleteI never took the Abilify, and had a difficult time getting off Seroquel. I'm a creative person and a songwriter.. journalist. On Serquel.. I couldn't create a thought let alone a Song or Article! It is Illegal in Canada to prescribe Abilify or Seroquel for "off label use".. which means sleeping. I contacted the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons - about this Dr. .. He is No Longer Practicing .. but is working in Research! Thank God!@
