We are definitely a pill popping society. And marketing to that demographic is smart. But I would rather sell to those non-pill poppers (like myself) who aren't always looking for the quick fix, the quick cash, the quick burger.

I was just thinking that today, as of right now (that post was written a week ago) I've taken two Xanax to calm my anxiety & both times I felt 100x better... I've also noticed that the rest of the week I've been really calm and more collected than normal. I think its just 'knowing' or feeling at least like I have a way to control things that does it.

I used to be anti-prescriptions for all my life but have always had incredible anxiety. It was only until a little over 3 months ago that I gave in and decided on a prescription. As far as I can tell, it has drastically changed my life for the positive. Placebo, perceived, or real, it is working and I do not feel ashamed about it. Wow that is a very thought provoking post.
