Stress? Forget it
Caitlyn Slivinski
Issue date: 2/27/07 Section: Opinion
People have begun taking this in the aftermath of a traumatic event -- i.e., a car accident -- so that the meds can stop natural chemicals from being released, thus hindering the memory from being solidified in the victim's mind. The controversy of Propranolol, of course, is whether it comes too close to "playing God." Sometimes bad memories or anxiety can benefit a person and they can learn from it. But dealing with a drug so sensitive to the patient's specific situation, event, and bodily reaction makes prescribing it a hard call. How can you possibly know what effects it will have on the individual and whether or not the medication is necessary? How can you know if a person really needs the drug?
It might not be such a bad idea to let life flow its course and fight your battles without drugs. It may just be that the lessons you learn while facing these problems, stress, and anxiety can be an aid in your future. John Legend cements the idea that we should loosen up and take a chance, trusting ourselves to be able to manage our troubles, when he offers a valuable nugget of advice: "Take it slow. Maybe we'll live and learn, maybe we'll crash and burn -- Maybe we won't survive, but maybe we'll grow."

Most people forget any grammar, history, and literature they get taught as well. That doesn't mean learning them wasn't helpfull. The info, and in particular the ideas, are still in the back of the mind working away even if they can't easily be recalled. (Continued…)
