This document discusses street prices for the drug Klonopin and trends in prescription drug use in the United States. It notes that from 1998 to 2008, Americans consumed enough prescription narcotics that every person could have received a year's worth of drugs. It questions what has changed to increase prescription drug use over 300% in a decade. The document provides data on prescription narcotic production quotas over this period and argues this level of drug use has negatively impacted judgment and spending habits in America.
This document discusses the street price of Klonopin and analyzes trends in prescription drug use and overspending in American culture.
1) Americans consume 300% more prescription narcotics now than in 1998, enough for every person to feel euphoric all year.

Klonopin (clonazepam) addiction is a serious problem that is often perpetuated by doctors who unknowingly prescribe addictive drugs long-term without treating the underlying emotional or spiritual issues causing pain. While meant to help reduce pain, ongoing prescription of narcotic or sedative drugs like Klonopin covers up problems rather than treating them, and leads to continued drug dependence. For those struggling with addiction, support groups like NA/AA can help wean from drug dependence and find sobriety without ongoing medication.
1) Prescription drug addiction is a serious problem affecting many lives through overdoses, hospitalizations, and even suicide.
2) Taking prescription painkillers or anti-anxiety drugs long-term does not treat the underlying emotional or spiritual issues driving addiction, but rather perpetuates addiction by covering up pain with drugs.
3) For those seeking treatment, support groups like Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous can help wean from drug dependence and find sobriety without ongoing medication. Addressing the root causes is key to healing.
This document discusses the risks of klonopin (clonazepam) and other sleeping pills and anxiety medications.

The author was prescribed klonopin to treat anxiety but became dependent on the drug within a few months. When they missed a dose, they experienced severe withdrawal symptoms like headaches, trembling, and disorientation. Tapering off klonopin under a doctor's supervision proved difficult, with debilitating symptoms. The author had to check into a detox center to fully withdraw from the drug, and it took two years to fully recover from the physical dependence. The author questions if the risks of klonopin dependence and withdrawal are adequately considered, given their terrible experience.
Daylight Saving Time will occur on Sunday, March 11th at 2am, when clocks are set forward one hour. DST starts earlier in the year now and runs until November 4th. The practice began in World War I to conserve energy and is now observed in about 75 countries worldwide.
Daylight Savings Time 2012 - At 2 a.m. on the morning of Sunday, March 11, we'll be springing our clocks forward—and losing an hour of the day, for Daylight Saving Time. The good news: sunset will be an hour later
Daylight Savings Time - You may have noticed the annual tradition of Daylight Saving Time has crept forward a bit. We used to spring forward on the first Sunday in April and fall back on last Sunday in October. But a couple years ago, Congress changed the date—adding more Daylight Saving Time to the calendar. This year, it will run from March 11 until Nov. 4.

This document provides information about the medication Clonazepam. It is intended to treat seizures, panic attacks, and other conditions by relaxing the brain and body. Some key points mentioned are that it is generally a mild medication but can be habit-forming, it should not be mixed with other drugs or substances without consulting a doctor first, and there are potential side effects that a user should watch out for and report to their doctor. The document encourages discussing the risks and benefits of Clonazepam with a medical professional.
This document discusses how many antidepressant medications can cause weight gain as a side effect. It explains several ways this can occur, such as by slowing metabolism, increasing appetite through hormonal changes, and causing sedation or mood swings that make exercise discipline difficult. It notes that SSRIs (Celexa, Prozac, etc.) on average cause a 15-20 pound weight gain, while tricyclic antidepressants may cause a gain of over 20 pounds. Alternative antidepressants like Wellbutrin generally do not cause weight gain. The conclusion advises discussing weight gain concerns with a doctor to consider alternative medication options if needed.
Klonopin xr data - One of the most severe psychiatric disorders is the bipolar disorder. This is a condition of alternating periods of high creativity and energy, mania and depression with varying degrees of severity.
Ativan and Xanax are benzodiazepines used to treat anxiety disorders. Ativan has a longer duration of action of 14-15 hours while Xanax has a shorter duration of 11-12 hours. Ativan has less abuse potential than Xanax and other benzodiazepines. Both drugs can cause side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, and memory problems. People should avoid drinking alcohol and using certain other drugs when taking Ativan or Xanax.
Klonopin is a drug used to treat bipolar disorder and control mania. It can interact with other medications and cause side effects like drowsiness, nausea, and hair loss. Patients taking Klonopin should avoid alcohol and notify their doctor of any vision or breathing problems that develop. Proper medical supervision is required when taking Klonopin to monitor side effects and effectiveness in treating bipolar disorder.
Within a few months of starting klonopin therapy for anxiety, the author began experiencing withdrawal symptoms if they missed a dose. They became dependent on the drug but it was no longer effective for their anxiety. Tapering off klonopin under a doctor's supervision proved difficult, with severe physical and mental withdrawal symptoms. The author had to seek treatment at a detox center to fully withdraw from the drug. They question whether the risks of klonopin dependence are properly conveyed, given their terrible withdrawal experience.
An alcohol detox protocol involves withdrawing the body from toxic effects of alcohol in a planned manner. It generally uses medication to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, close monitoring of patients, and is the first step in recovery programs for chronic alcoholics. The protocol has defined stages including stabilization, withdrawal symptom management using drugs like Valium or Klonopin, and preventing hypoglycemia with carbohydrate drinks under medical supervision. The goal is to help patients get through discomfort to accept further treatment and recovery.
Klonopin (clonazepam) is a benzodiazepine tranquilizer that is sometimes prescribed to treat agoraphobia. While it can help reduce symptoms in the short term, it also carries risks of side effects and addiction if taken long term or improperly. Klonopin passes into breastmilk, so breastfeeding mothers should discuss risks and alternatives with their doctors. Overall medication should be seen as just one part of a treatment plan for agoraphobia, which usually also includes therapies like CBT.
This document discusses obtaining prescription pain medications like Vicodin and Klonopin online without a prescription. It notes several websites advertising the sale of these drugs and claims people with chronic pain can still obtain needed medications due to some doctors understanding pain issues. However, it acknowledges government regulations and stigma around addiction have made doctors hesitant to prescribe such medications. The document advocates for better pain management access and treatment of chronic pain patients.
Klonopin and Ativan are prescription drugs used to treat anxiety. This article provides an 8-step program to help people gain control of their expenses by breaking free from consumerism and lifestyle addictions. The steps include only using cash, cutting up credit cards, tracking spending, questioning unnecessary purchases, paying off debts, and setting savings goals. Following this program can help reduce expenses, become debt-free, and build wealth over time by changing one's mindset around spending and consumption.
This document discusses the use of Klonopin (clonazepam) to treat social anxiety disorder. It notes that while SSRIs are commonly prescribed, benzodiazepines like Klonopin can provide faster relief from anxiety symptoms. However, benzodiazepines can be addictive if used regularly. The document recommends using Klonopin sparingly and only before anxiety-provoking events to avoid addiction. It also cautions against mixing benzodiazepines with alcohol.
Klonopin (clonazepam) and many other human medications are toxic to dogs. Smaller dogs, puppies, and dogs with pre-existing medical conditions are most at risk. Signs of medication toxicity in dogs include drooling, vomiting, seizures, disorientation, and lethargy. If a dog ingests any human medication, owners should contact a veterinarian immediately.
This document discusses using Klonopin (clonazepam) to treat social anxiety. It notes that Klonopin and other benzodiazepines like Xanax and Ativan can be effective at reducing physical symptoms of anxiety but may not be strong enough to overcome panic attacks. It recommends considering medications as well as mind-based methods involving exposure to anxiety-provoking situations and challenges safety behaviors that avoid anxiety. The document encourages facing anxiety to overcome it rather than hiding symptoms and avoiding social situations.
Klonopin is a prescription drug used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It carries several potential side effects including drowsiness, impaired coordination, confusion, impaired speech and judgment, depression, memory loss, and nausea. The document recommends using hypnosis as a natural and side effect-free alternative to medications for reducing anxiety and stress. Hypnosis allows people to take control of their anxiety without the dangers and side effects of prescription drugs.
The document discusses the author's experience with klonopin (clonazepam) use and withdrawal. They were prescribed a high dose of klonopin for anxiety by their psychiatrist. While it initially helped reduce anxiety symptoms, the author soon developed dependence and would experience severe withdrawal if they missed a dose. They struggled to taper off the medication due to debilitating withdrawal symptoms like headaches, trembling, nausea and inability to sleep or walk. The author had to check into a detox center to fully withdraw from klonopin, which took weeks and left them feeling unwell for years after. They question if doctors adequately inform patients about the risks of dependence and withdrawal from long-term benzodiazepine use.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a condition characterized by an uncomfortable sensation in the legs and a desire to move them, especially at night or during periods of inactivity. It is often underdiagnosed. RLS symptoms include unusual sensations deep in the legs along with overt restless leg movements that are worse at rest and may be temporarily relieved by movement. Periodic leg movements of sleep (PLMS) often accompany RLS and involve abrupt leg movements during sleep. While there is no cure, treatment with dopamine-boosting medications can reduce symptoms and improve functioning.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

3. Adderall (TM) (mixed amphetamine salts) and Ritalin (TM) (methylphenidate), Desoxyn (methamphetamine),
and others, we build an even stronger case for reduced judgment capacity during the spending and fiscal
planning process in the individual household.
Have you ever wondered why we spend so much money as Americans?
It is interesting to ask people whether in Thailand or Braz il who is the easiest sell and who is the big
spender. They will rarely reply Italy or U.K. or Australia or New Z ealand. They will reply Americans. The
Americans of this past decade are accustomed to being irresponsible with their money and not negotiating.
We are also accustomed to gaining face through overspending instead of saving face by negotiating such
as many other cultures do. We have become culturally predisposed to overspending and thusly erasing our
core savings rate.
It only takes a street salesman of T-Shirts to notice: " If I call foreigner from UK cheap. He not care. He want
good price. I say CHEAP CHEAP to American. He not happy. He pay more money for SAME" .
Hearing this from and independent 3rd party in broken english yields a bigger picture. We are trained not to
negotiate under threat of being CHEAP and CHEAP is BAD. Frugality is demoniz ed in modern American
culture. This was not always the case. There was once pride in the same.
Where has this pride gone?
Who has gained the most from a culture that thinks that it is cool to waste money?
Our image in the world versus say the U.K. or Australia is a culture that spends without restraint, doesn't
negotiate, and are a relatively easy sell. MTV and Copying our favorite Television stars and Musicians has
made a culture all about every we " MUST HAVE" . We have become overly pacified and overly reliant on
government and our envisioned " SYSTEM" .
What is the 10 year and 20 year picture of American habits, core savings, and medication changes.
1. Core Savings Has Disappeared. The premise of living within your means and clearing your mortgage has
vanished and been replaced with buying that dress and car you always wanted to impress someone. What
PDFmyURL.com
4. has happened to the concept of retiring on a free and clear title to one's home?
2. We were much more likely to buy what we did not need 2002- 2006 versus 1991- 1998. Why is that?
3. Anti- Depressants, Anti- Anxiety Medication, Narcotics, Amphetamines, and other psychotropic prescriptions
have all exploded in quantity and dosage and breadth of population within this past decade.
4. Television, Advertising, Mass Media and observations of friends, family, and neighbors has led to a form
of behavioral therapy wherein even those unmedicated have felt pressure from the culture to copy and
align with the overspending patterns.
Are these events related or not ?
I do not think so. The Sheep Chronicles does not think so. I believe that if we bring enough data clearly out
into the open that common sense will prevail and Americans will be able to perceive what may well have
been happening.
Ask 10 people who you know take an SSRI anti- depressant or SNRI anti- depressant or who regularly use
an anti- anxiety medication such as Xanax (Alpraz olam) or Klonopin (Clonaz apam). Ask them for
impressions.
D O YO U SPEN D MO R E MO N EY O N T HIS MED IC AT IO N ?
When your anxiety levels are reduced and you are not sad, you feel more open to spending money in many
cases. This is the same as a person who drinks alcohol in a bar, gets drunk, and then the next day says;
WOW! How could I have spent so much money in that bar? It's easy when you anxiety centers are relaxed
and you feel good.
Irrespective of the neurotransmitters in question, Serotonin, GABA, Dopamine, or others; chemically there is
no doubt that medications, alcohol, tobacco, and other substances modify our chemically perceived reality
and mood and thereby effect our behaviors. Now continue this equation with the massive use of
prescription pain management (narcotics) in the United States and we have a continuation of the same
effects. A person who is feeling a " chemical high" is a potent consumer. They do not control their excess or
surplus of income by directing it into a boring savings account. They have reduced impulse control and they

WHAT D O ES T HIS SAY AB O UT US?
We are Sheeple but there is nothing new about that aspect of humanity.
We are passive. We use the word " THEY" much more than 20 years prior. We fancy ourselves more civiliz ed
but we may well be less so.
We accept many ANTI- CONSUMER behaviors with a sense that we cannot do anything about it.
We see a blatant election scandal in 2000 and no million man march. Just as with anything that angers us,
it is brief and fleeting and then we return to a pacified existence. What triggers our anger anymore for more
than 1 week?
We are VERY INSECURE as a people amongst ourselves more so than 20 years prior. We are more focused
on the brand names of clothing and type of car. It used to be that the wealthy family had a Mercedez - Benz
and others did not expect to own one. Now every family feels a heightened sense of competition and
entitlement. There is a lack of contentment with traditional family roles and service jobs.
The pedestal for success has been placed so high by this spending culture that there is a lesser extent of
happiness. I see greater levels of happiness in poor 3rd world villages enjoying life's simple pleasures than
an upper class neighborhood over the holidays during a good year here. Happiness is chemical.
Embracing life's simple pleasures has increasingly been eroded and replaced with pro- consumerism and
PDFmyURL.com
6. competition. Have more than your neighbors. Spend more than your neighbors. This competition does not
net happiness. The only one's who gain from this are corporations selling you those goods.
The very development of the Personal Car Lease helped to promote the concept of living beyond your
economic means. You could afford the $35,000 car instead of a $20,000 car. When leases disappeared,
many people were shocked to realiz e how little car they could really afford to buy. Some went through
adjustments in terms of self- image as they were so locked into a perception of their social class via their
car.
HUMBLE has left our personalities as though an ancient remnant of the past, and it leaves behind profound
arrogance all about us. This arrogance is really rooted in INSECURITIES. I want to drive a better car. I want
to have a bigger house. I want the best designer clothes. I am willing to give up my core savings for it.
Being me is not good enough. I must earn more. I must climb higher. I am in competition with everyone and
not with myself. I cannot just embrace life's simple pleasures. As an expat, I am shocked at the personality
changes I can perceive 6 months in the U.S. and 6 months out. Where did the inner strength go? Why are
people not able to perceive their insecurities and just put their foot down as say, I don't care what I drive as
long as my family eats? Some people can but most cannot.
It's a horrible thing to say, but could this financial crisis help us long term to become better people?
WE HAVE A PER FEC T ST O R M O F EVEN T S
Our pharmaceutical manufacturers prerogative is to regurgitate old studies and bloat R&D numbers while
raping and pillaging America under 10,000% + markups in some cases. We have growing apathy in the
medical community due to a society that lives for liability and fear of being sued. Insurance companies have
really begun to own the practitioner's souls. American seem to have a lower threshold for pain than 10 years
ago and greater willingness to seek out medication solutions to their lives. Socially we are playing follow
the leader in a no limits game of overspending to satisfy some sense of ego fulfillment. All the while,
Washington and Big Corporate leadership effectively operate without sufficient challenge from the
inebriated and self- absorbed population.
PDFmyURL.com
7. Then comes the economic wake up call. The disclosure then comes fully open that it was all a false reality.
Fear sets in. People look to what brings them more comfort and we have Q4 2008. Hydrocodone, a narcotic,
met its manufacturing quote for America by the end of Q3 2008. Americans reached for chemical solutions to
avoid perceiving the reality.
I would not buy a piz z a parlor for 500 years of earnings, so why did I buy that stock? Logic prevails. What
goes up will usually come down.
We are being played as a people. Played into Feeling INSECURE and thusly OVERSPENDING.
We are handed the TEMPORARY FINANCIAL MEANS to OVERSPEND.
Medications are Marketed and Prescribed en masse that help to REDUCE OUR ANXIETY LEVELS and
PRODUCE EUPHORIA en masse to where we become almost hedonistic in all our pursuits. Apathy and
concern for liability above all else flourish in the medical community by way of insurance carrier policies.
Patient relationships with their practitioner's collapse. People seek Antidepressants and Sleep medications
and pain killers seeking a way out of their realities just as a bottle of vodka at the bar.
This manner of " head in the sand" is exactly how we lost the confidence of the world this decade. Our
people failed in their responsibility to keep their government in check. We as a people failed to stop
corporate looting. We as a people failed to stand up for ourselves and take back the fundamentals and
rejecting blatant consumerism for the sake of consumerism In a way, the inmates of government and
corporate were left to run the asylum while a pacified people stubbled around not realiz ing their altered
mental state whether through their sheepdom (CBT) or via chemicals.
WHO MAK ES O UT ?
Those on the other side of the coin. Corporate giants who market to you all these things that you do not
need but you have convinced yourself that you do, they have made their money. You have leveraged your
house and ability to retire upon a nicer car, longer vacation, eating out too much, and a giant television.
You were happy all the while or so you thought.

8. Financial Giants have convinced you to forfeit your core savings and future right to retire against your
SHORT TERM HEDONISM. You have in a sense: MORTGAGED YOUR OWN FUTURE and your childrens'
futures. As for governments, you are less likely to openly question their actions in a problematic manner for
them. You might send an email, but you do not MARCH anymore. PROTESTS are lesser. You are PACIFIED.
This is not just NARCOTIC PACIFICATION it is a full spectrum of chemicals and events working collectively.

All these collectively play a role in bringing about a CIVILIZ ATION OF A ONCE GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE
who essentially cannot make their own independent decisions. They have let themselves be played into
50+ YEARS of debt and working full time until the day they die. They have collapsed the dreams of so many
into a massive debt onto their children and their children's children. They have poisoned a once great
culture in a sense.
T he # 1 C o mmo nalit y is G R EED .
Our GREED was exploited. We were played because our ego was susceptible to programming to where
Greed represented the mechanism for fulfillment of that which would satisfy our ego. We also are one of the
most insecure cultures on the planet which is completely and utterly in denial about such insecurity. Most
Americans can easily be played by stroking their egos. That was how you sold a car for a long time. You sell
the bigger TV set that way. Are you sure you can afford that? Yes I Can. " No, we can find you something
more affordable" . (The Take Away) " No really I want it. I can handle it" (Customer)
THOUGHTS SUCH AS THESE:
" The neighbor has one. Why shouldn't I."
" Everyone else bought a house. Why shouldn't I have one too."
PDFmyURL.com
9. " Everyone has massive credit card debt. So its no big deal if I have it too"
" They all went on vacation. Why shouldn't I."
Meanwhile, someone who lived through the Great Depression or childhood hardship in another country or
culture held onto their dimes and nickels. Some people did extremely well throughout this process. Some
did not change their core values and shopped at second hand stores and kept a car for 10 years while
their house went up 300% . Some thwarted those social games of who will pay. Some sold their house when
it gained in value and bought a lesser house to lock in the profit. Some had retained fear of hitting bottom
from other experiences and were not able to be programmed. Unfortunately, most Americans were played.
We need to stand up for ourselves. We cannot let false pride stop us from economic success. We have to
become a humble and realistic people and take back our souls as presently they have liens on them.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP BEING SHEEPLE and LEARN TO BE INDEPENDENT THINKERS AGAIN.
Think up something new every day. Sourced in nothing known to you.
Act on it the something new.
Do something that makes you feel embarassed or lesser. Embrace this flexibility.
Eat your dose of humble pie every day and change the culture on person at a time.
WE HAVE BEEN PLAYED AND THE GAME IS FINISHED FOR NOW.
Its time to try to take the playing field back for ourselves for next time.
DON'T EVER CONFUSE CHEAP AND FRUGAL.
THINK ON YOUR OWN.
NEVER USE THE INFAMOUS " THEY" .
