He only takes it at night to go to sleep. Not during the day. No pain killers whatsoever. The only thing he takes (so he can sleep), is the Alprazolam. He would never be able to sleep. When he lies on his back, the PN between his toes acts up so he can't sleep. Then he takes his alprazolam, and in 15 minutes, he's out like a light.
It's much cheaper than sleep meds. Much cheaper!!!! And Dr. Fred (his primary care physician), is well aware of what he's on. So, in his case, it's a relief that he can sleep at night.
He can't worry about any future effects because, as he puts it, "at least I can sleep at night".
Can't fault him for this.
