I wasn’t going to give up. I would get Orion off these pills somehow, but at that moment I didn’t have the strength to argue further.

The next day I went to work feeling a lot better, but the fatigue and nausea stayed for a few more days. I couldn’t miss more days, though, so I sucked it up and went to work. Things went back to normal, but the pills were still on my mind.
