I am John but not really a Dr.

Hello people,

My name is John. I have been stressed most of my life and for 25 years I dealt with it with drugs and drink. Now I've been clean for 19 years
apart from a drinking bout 11 years ago.

I'm on mirtazapine 45mg and it's the best one I have tried.

I brought 3 of my kids up on my own because their mother never got clean and one of my sons still lives with me.
Just the two of us in a house with garden on the south coast.

Not too shabby for an ex-junkie, and I am grateful for what I have. My other son and 2 daughters are quite near with a total of 5 grandchildren.

I hope I get to know some of you.

Hello John

Welcome to NMP

It's great that you've found a medication that works and have managed to stay off the drink and drugs. Sounds like life has been tough for you, being a single parent bringing up 3 kids has to be stressful. Really good to see that you've got through it though.

Well done for bringing your children on your own!
Glad you found the right type of medicine to help you recover :-)

Hello John, nice to meet you. You sound like a very good dad. You can share all your troubles here anyway.

Take care
Anna :welcome:

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm still getting used to the site.
So far so good.
