Mom told me the same thing; she doesn't want me on Valium because she thinks I'll get addicted/be groggy for school.
I told her, any pain relaxant is gonna relax ya

make ya all goofy. After today, I don't care at all about school, I just want to feel good.
Ironically, without taking any 'killers today...maybe I had 1mg, don't recall...I just slept for five hours. That and it's a warm one here in PA. Must be about 80 something, at least.
I oddly recall reading about your accident before I think, and I'm sorry for ya. Amazing what the human body can do after it's screwed up, isn't it?
I'll look into the Kava, I used to know about it.
Thanks for the input, Chris, and anything I can do, let me know. If anyone else has a suggestion, pop on in!
