Tylenol Sleep or whatever it's called works pretty well, as does vicodin. i only had vicodin for our trans-pacific flight. the only people i know who take Xanax are usually those tripping on 6 hits of acid and they want to chill out. i don’t think i’d take it though.

I went to Kaiser and explained to the doctor (who never once even made eye contact with me) that I wanted to get my thyroid checked out and told him my "symptoms". He immediately prescribed me Paxil without my even asking for an anti-depressant. So I have this year-old, unopened bottle of Paxil in my bathroom cabinet! It shocks me too how easily these drugs are doled out. Geesh…a year ago I was going through Spring doldrums and thought it might be a thyroid issue.

I was told that dentists won't use each others' x-rays. They're very proprietary about them, and it's almost impossible to get an old dentist to send x-rays over...and new dentist's don't trust others' x-rays, and insist on doing their own anyway. I think it's just a way to leech more money, but regardless: getting the x-rays transfered didn't seem to be an option.

Just something to inquire about next time you're in this situation.
