1. Adderall.
It helps me function and for those who don't have ADD, it will give them a great time.

2. Imitrex. I'd vote for vicodin if it worked on my migraines, but it has NO
effect...so Imitrex is my pick.

31. Lunesta
It beats the pants off of Ambien. Far less side effects and just as effective.

14. My grandmother had that
Her cancer started in her breasts but by the time they caught it it was everywhere, including her bones. So she got a morphine iv drip at home (the machine that dispenses it every two minutes, like a person gets after surgery) and the liquid for when that wasn't enough. At that point there wasn't much to do but keep her comfortable, and they did as good a job of that as possible, and she never spent a night in the hospital, which was a relief because she wanted to die at home and her doctors and the beautiful amazing hospice nurses made it possible.

6. Celexa
It helped me alot during a brutal break-up with my ex a couple of years ago. It also didn't diminish my sex drive which is unusual for an SSRI.

10. Tussionex extended-release hydrocodone cough syrup.
Only good thing about getting a serious sinus infection (which happens almost every fall, for me); my doctor prescribes this stuff.

12. Another vote for Imitrex. (for migraines)
I would not be able to function if this hadn't come out about a dozen years ago.

20. I'm not a big fan of Vicodin. I only take it if absolutely necessary.
I mean really, really, really necessary.

I'd like to hear it for Lexapro and Ambien.

21. I'll second the vicodin vote.
I was diagnosed with "basilar" migraines several years ago,
and NOTHING else will touch them when they rear their ugly,
compound little heads....

37. Topamax Made Me Realize That My Head Could *Not* Hurt!
I've been taking it for a couple years now, and rarely get migraines anymore - I used to have them nearly all the time. I haven't had to refill my Maxalt or Imitrex for ... I can't even remember. I still have fiorinal for the once-in-a-while one that can actually be knocked down now.

25. Either cymbalta or frova.
both have made my life much more livable!

I suppose that a close third would be ritalin- another of my "happy pills"

26. Happiness can only mean seven-hundred and fourteen
But since they don't make quaaludes anymore, I'll settle for a valium. I guess that makes me old school.

36. But Which?
I always say they can have my Buspar when they pry it from my cold, dead, crazy hands... If you know what Lomotil is, you have my sympathies! I have to take it daily.

39. I used to work for a doctor
who specialized in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I have tendencies toward the latter. Not too bad, but I carry lomotil with me all the time, just in case.
