I'm thinking a very low dose of Xanax. I did take it to deal with wound therapy back about the time I joined up here. It worked! It kept me from strangling the therapist even when massive doses of opiates didn't kill the pain.Xanax. Or...some pot?I hear ya... Got a few customers I want to hurt from time to time.My blood pressure is up too. Mine can be cured with an incendiary drop on a particular employee.
I am a bit more angry lately. It's the nicotine withdrawal. I'm sure.
I'm one of the most level, no confrontational people I know. For me to get angry over some of the stuff that is affecting me lately is not not normal. I have a doctor's appointment late tomorrow morning. We'll see if there is something I can do for a while. Ammunition is too costly.
Good news it's been 31 days since my last cigarette.
Hope you feel better soon, and congrats on the 31 days!
Lowest dose are the pink ones. I take half of one at night once in awhile. That half is enough to keep the edge off, ya know? After awhile your body will get used to it....so you might have to go with a whole pinkie (which is what I call them). The blue ones are much stronger. Avoid those.I'm thinking a very low dose of Xanax. I did take it to deal with wound therapy back about the time I joined up here. It worked!

Hey Y'all! What do sand castles and the LSU Tigers have in common?
I'll bite. What?
They both look great until the Tide rolls in.
I'm not detoxed at this point. I'm getting nicotine from the patches (stage 2) as if I were smoking about 12 cigarettes a day. Way down from 30 actual smokes. I may go to stage 3 which cuts that in half.It's out of your system (nicotine), but not out of your head. THAT is the bitch. And its why I keep falling off the wagon myself. You made it a month. Just keep on keeping on. Mr G said it took about a month and half to get over his anger and habit and desire of wanting a cig. TWo more weeks, Ernie. Then you will probably do much better.

I am surprised that losing weight brought my BP down to "normal" levels. They are still high by younger standards, but normal otherwise. Changing diet is tough, but I am so encouraged by the results, I am determined to maintain the diet I prefer now.Glad you figured it out. Mr G takes dulcolax. I can't. I take these gelatous pills to soften stool...not make me "go". I don't need any help for that, lol. But the Doc-Q-Lace works great...and my dr said it is a more natural way to..well..do your thang. Maybe google it, Ringel?Last night after 3 days of blinding headaches I finally did something I should have been doing all along, I checked my blood pressure. No wonder I was having massive headaches!!!! It was in the high 150s over the high 90s, very high for me so at 2 AM I went to the Beaumont ER. They tested everything heart related and a few other things but could not determine any reason for the raised BP or headaches. They did give me a medication cocktail that put me out all the rest of the night and I was released to go home at 8:30 this morning. Fed the cats and went to bed sleeping until 2 PM was up for about 45 minutes than back to bed for another hour and a half....... That was some cocktail.
Finally did figure out what I'm absolutely sure is the problem. Something is blocking the absorption of the medications into my system, okay, what am I doing differently in the last 3 - 4 weeks........ Metamucil, I started taking generic Metamucil during that period but more importantly I started taking it with my medications, bad idea. Psyllium husk expands very quickly into a gelatinous mass, in my case the meds were being trapped in that mass and I was able to only absorb some of the medication. So no taking my meds with the Metamucil anymore.
Also..my BP has been 160 over 85 for the past month. I take my BP meds faithfully, so after doing blood tests, Dr and I talked about it today. There is nothing more I can take to make it go down, so we think its stress. I don't think I am stressing, but I probably am...hence the weird dreams, too.
You have a lot of stress you are dealing with too. That might be why yours is so high.
