Writing this in 2023, I am divorced with one daughter and three grandchildren - two girls and a boy ages 10, 8 and 4. I’m really lucky to live only half an hour away from them :) I am currently undergoing a horrible protracted withdrawal from Mirtazapine, an anti depressant. I was polydrugged in 2015 and became very ill from them to the point of being bedbound for months. I eventually realised the harm they were causing and came off 2 of them and am now on the last one.

The Codeine Story in Scottish Meanderings
This is a bit of backstory to the reason I'm doing the Scottish Recovery Consortium course. Way back when I was around 14/15 or thereabouts I took a product called Feminax, containing paracetamo...
Fun Stuff, Clever Stuff in Scottish Meanderings

A Good Day Is Welcomed in Scottish Meanderings
