PamelaJune...what a nightmare. Thanks for sharing and so very sorry you went thru all that. I believe doctors are far knowledgeable about Zanac and opiods as of late but still fail miserably with other drugs and their potential side effects and consequences. Personally I try to stay away from them but I am in a very dark place lately and if things do not improve I may need some help from anti anxiety and anti depressants. I am not suicidal but I flirt with thoughts of how lovely it would be to just go to sleep forever.

Wide-O, pets are great and yes, you are right.... they don't need much. This sweet old guy gives me purpose and he is getting up there in years too so likely not adoptable. We are stuck with each other, for better or worse.
