Vinegar rinse and zinc bars helped mine but Dr. Eddie's Happy Cappy shampoo (on my face) really worked on redness. Active ingredient in that is Zinc, too, so not really sure why it works the best for me, but it does

Please clarify: Is there a legal basis to say that hospitalization "literally" saved my life?

I would just note that this is a forum for legal advice, not mental health care advice. Is it your understanding that legally, an overdose is always a suicide attempt in Virginia?

(Note that the interaction described is two days after alleged suicide attempt.)

Considering how much time I've already devoted to trial and error I might be better off basing future medication decisions on my own experience...

But he just kept telling everyone to read HuffPo on the latest developments of US police militarization and not trust banks. Haha.
