So, I got put on a laundry list of medications. Sixty-something pills a day, probably 25, 30 different prescriptions we were on. - Goodness. - I mean, Cymbalta, Adderall, Gabapentin, heavy, heavy doses.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I came out of this rehab program. They put me on these medications, and I felt like a million bucks. I got really hurt in 2013. Amnesia, forgetting where I was at, and when I went down, they gave me these pills, and I felt like Jesus came down and touched me. "You gave me Adderall and Cymbalta."
Lyrica. I've been on everything. Amitriptyline to sleep, taking a heavy dose of those. Ambien obviously. Everything. Everything in between, you take it all, and you don't realize that you're smashed all day because you're not hitting alcohol. You don't realize that you're processing pharmaceuticals 24 hours a day, every single day, 52 weeks out of the year. You don't realize it. You're not sober.
