    50% of us. I'm on a heap of prescribed medicines. Are we relying too much on medication?

    Have you ever considered eating all your medicine at once, washed down with a litre of vodka?

    Such is the volume of medication swilling about my failing tabernacle, the chemist actually sends a courier to my home.

    Diabetes. Kidney Failure. OCD. Sleep Deprivation. Excoriation Disorder. The list goes on and on...

    Grapefruit juice is probably worse to have with meds than alcohol.

    Shouldn't you be able to categorically state which is worse?

    I was on that for a while Pud. Anxiety attacks and depression.

    Now I am on a derivative of Prozac.

    I wish I didn't have a brain to be honest.

    The last time I seen a doctor was about 2 years ago after I nearly chopped my thumb off - before that it was about 10 years. Headache tablets for hangovers are standard now - although I'm not too smug, as all that alcohol will probably give me some sort of disease at some point.
