Chemical Copers

That's not copping that's coping. Two different things. Most of us are in danger of becoming chemical copers if we aren't already. Tired? Well don't go try and get enough sleep! Drink some coffee instead. Got heartburn? What ever you do don't lay off the cigarettes and booze. Take one of those purple pills. I once had a patient tell me that she took a xanax because she got really "anxious" after eating a really sweet piece of birthday cake. Xanax as treatment for a sugar rush. "You mean it was what happens to the kids when they eat too much sugar?" she asked me after I explained it to her. A while back a lady asked me to prescribe Strattera for her son because she wanted him to be like those kids on their ads. I had to tell her those kids are actors. Best argument so far for putting an end to direct to the public pharmaceutical advertisments.
