    I'm a bit surprised you got by with that 911 call. In most situations when a cop responds to that kind of a call they assume some basic responsibility for you. I know several years ago in Georgia my oldest sister had a flat tire about a mile north of the I-85 I 985 split on north I-985. A trooper came by and once she told him she was not going to change the tire but was waiting on her husband to drive almost 65 miles to do it he said no, her husband got turned around and they called for help. That trooper did not leave until help got there.

    I was in the middle of nowhere around Telluride mountains. It was 1.00 AM. Yes I came down the Imogene pass at 12:00 AM. Crazy right. Got lucky the flat tire happened when I was on the highway, not up on the pass. But I had food, water and blankets. I would have been fine spending the night on the pass. It is such a beautiful place.
    So I called 911 because everything else was closed. Dumb me forgot to take a jack with me on the road trip. I had overconfidence in my 35 inch Duratracs. I was shocked some rock tore it. Cops came, and they were kind of lazy. So they let me sleep along the highway lol. In the morning roadside assistance showed up abd put my spare on.

    I love Cops, specially State Troopers. I have taken selfies with State Troopers of many states, and other police officers too.
    I broke the traffic law in 2015(illegal u-turn), I got punished, and I have become nice since then lol. My driving abstract is super clean now

    You must have some very mellow LEOs in your area. In my neighborhood 9 1 1 calls are supposed to be made only in emergencies or in matters of life and death. If you call 911 and waste the dispatchers time with a barking dog complaint...or a flat tire...you'll get a visit from a LEO but you're not going to like the outcome.

    I had the intention to sleep by the highway. I thought getting noticed by the law enforcement was not a good idea. So I called 911 and the first thing I told them was can I sleep by the highway in my car, I got a flat tire and no jack. Roadside assistance will come in the morning. They did not like the idea. They sent the cops. I told the cops the same thing. I told them I have blankets and food. They said ok you are fine lol. In the morning I had to defecate in a garbage bag, and covered it with three more garbage bags haha. Please don't ask me where I dumped the garbage bag haha.

    What exactly about the medicines in the OP makes that an issue? Just because somebody has prescriptions doesn't mean they're suddenly a danger to society.

    Thank you. A depressed man is more dangerous to the society than a man on antidepressants. A depressed guy with crazy thoughts behind the wheel is more dangerous than a man who is calm due to antidepressants. It is time we stop shaming depressed people. It is like shaming people who have diabetes due to genetics.
    I am 38. You can lecture me and counsel me all you want, it is not going to change anything. My brain needs serotonin and that doesn't come from counselling and lectures, it comes from SSRIs
