I most certainly hope that Ozzy is not experiencing the same prescription drug nightmare hell which I was once misfortunate enough to experience! Back in the late eighties I went through an extremely depressing phase and, at one point, I decided to get some professional help. Unfortunately I made the mistake of telling my doctor that I was extremely paranoid which prompted him to give me a prescription for an anti-psychotic drug called Haldol, another prescription for a tranquilizer called Chlorpromazine, and yet another prescription for (GASP!!!) Prozac. Holy Jesus! If I was fucked up beforehand, I was REALLY fucked once these nice drugs started to take effect! For me it was basically a prescription drug induced nervous breakdown. For three or four weeks I was, for all intents and purposes, a bed ridden, drooling vegetable! Not only that but I started also to experience some interesting side effects from the Haldol. Involuntary muscle movements whereas I kept getting this almost uncontrollable urge to hunch over say if I was sitting down. I would literally just keel over for some reason like I was trying to touch my head against my legs. And then there was the bizarre facial movements where I kept having to move my jaw to one side and then the other side of my mouth. For the life of me I didn't know what the hell was going on and finally my brother had to take me to the emergency ward at the local hospital where I was diagnozed as experiencing the side effects from Haldol. This meant that I was given another prescription for a drug called Cogeniten which was supposed to stop these side effects. Well I was still bedridden, living this horrible nightmarish hell where I felt like my thought patterns were not only in the inside of my mind but also on the outside which meant that I was kind of naked mentally and that the world at large could hear every thought pattern that went through my mind - like I was telepathic or something!  So much for having a guilty conscience, eh? At least I wasn't experiencing involuntary muscle movements. As for the Chlorpromazine which was supposed to make me calm down, take 100 mgs and it gave me waking nightmares! Finally I come to my senses and basically stopped taking all of the above drugs as well as avoided seeing my doctor and, started feeling alot better. So what was the original problem(s)? I think that it was just a buildup of a bunch of different things including the fact that I was drinking and partying way too much for my own good and that finally things were catching up with me. All I really needed was to be on an anti-depressant like Amitryptalin and to calm down for a while, clean up my act, and attempt to live a more sane and healthy lifestyle. It is funny sometimes about what type of crap that a person has to wade through before one realizes the error of ones ways and then does something about it. Usually the solution is so simple that one feels real retarded for not thinking about it sooner! At least this is how I felt... But I'm getting off track here. I feel sorry for Ozzy especially if he is on these drugs when chances are he does not need to be on them! Perhaps he was experiencing some sort of drug or alcohol relapse and then said the wrong things to his doctor which prompted these prescriptions for these scary drugs? It would be real interesting to see what his normal daily diet is especially in regards to alcohol, caffiene, tobbacco, and foods which contain alot of sugar. It is amazing what type of effect these four drugs has on a persons' body and how long their effects last. Everything from depression, paranoia, to a sleep disturbance or disorder can be caused by them and even worse like diabetes! Maybe Ozzy needs to change his diet?  -------------------- When the chime ends, pickup your gun. Try and shoot me Coronel... Just try...

I guess he'll be over-prescribed even more drugs!
