Medicated Bassists

Tourettes. I also have OCD and ADHD, but the Tourettes is what I'm medicated for, and that medication also reduces OCD activity in the brain. We bassists always seem to be the whacked ones. (but the most creative ones too!) :D
 
I'm on ativan and effexor for anxiety and mild depression, resulting from a long term stomach disease (Menetrier's) which resulted in a complete gastrectomy this past February. So I've got no stomach, literally. Before that I was on chemo (the disease *could* be a precursor to cancer) for 3 years.

All this resulted in rapid weight gain, followed by rapid weight loss, and extreme fatigue and nausea.
