Natural Immunity

The dentist gave me 3 10mg Valium pills so I could stomach getting a couple of cavities filled tomorrow.

I took one this morning at 9:35am so I could see what it would do to me - I've never taken Valium before. Except once, when I was 3 & ate one my freat-aunt had left sitting on a side table. I thought it was a Pez. My parents told me I slept for 3 days straight & then proceeded to eat everything in the house.

34 years later, either it's not a high enough dose or I'm resistant to it. In fact, I feel a little more 'awake' if anything, but definitely not relaxed, nor do I have any enhanced sense of well-being. My husband's Xanax at 1mg gave me cotton mouth & nothing else, but I'm not even getting cotton mouth from 10x as much.

I should submit myself as a lab rat or something, because I'm becoming more & more resistant to more & more narcotic-type drugs, and it's not like I'm a junkie or anything. It's just weird.
