    The side effects are temporary. The body gets used to them. After almost 20 days on them, the side effects are no more.

    Yes...Kyle G pretty much nailed it here.....:thumbup:

    When you do finally get into the cab--you truly need to be "ready to roll"--that is....truly able to focus completely on the tasks at hand.

    If...instead...you are dealing with/pre-occupied by pain and/or anxiety issues--you will NOT be ready for "prime time"...and thus you will be miserable as a truck driver.

    AND....your carrier will also be miserable with you....:confused: :(

    ~~~~~~~

    I'll take it one step further....if you don't already have a stout sense of humor--get one...before you get into the cab.

    Laughter and/or a good sense of humor will help you with your pain/anxiety issues....and will also help you deal with the challenges you will certainly face later...as a beginning truck driver.

    One good way to feed a sense of humor (or get a stronger one)...is by regularly watching sitcoms. Of course--some are better than others (which can obviously be a matter of taste). Easy examples:
    • Becker
    • Cheers (especially those that included Kirstie Alley)
    • Frazier
    • Two and a Half Men (the Charlie Sheen episodes)
    • Spin City
    • Just Shoot Me
    Others here may offer still more examples....but this list gets you started, anyway.

    It has been said, "laughter is the best medicine."

    You might give it an honest try.....:D

    Gradually I will leave Lorazepam. Doctor also said take as needed. The other 3 meds are perfectly safe long term, even for decades.

    EXACTLY!

    And look at the state of our massive pharmaceutical ingesting society as a result of those decades.

    pharmaceutical ingesting society is cured of diseases that killed people in the past. Now we live longer thanks to Medical Science and medicines. If you broke a bone 500 years ago, you would be in horrible agony. Now pain meds save us from that unbearable agony. Do you know how painful cancer gets towards its end. At least those cancer patients don't die in agony. Medicines help.
