Pills, pills, and more pills! I saw a new doctor for my headaches yesterday. Like the last neuro guy, he told me to stop drinking. Unlike the last guy, he didn't call me headstrong and immature, or refuse to refill my happy pill prescriptions, when I refused, and we didn't have the awkward endgame: "I guess there's no point in my coming back here." "I guess not." Instead he just said to avoid wine completely and minimize the rest. So I think me and this new doctor are going to be just fine.

He told me to stop taking antidepressants and move on up to the anticonvulsants. Now I have two bottles of something called Topamax, which epileptics call "Stupamax." It has a little picture of a brain stem on it.
