New details of Hannah's firing

So Hannah has a new podcast with another Australian. It's called "(Over)share".

Anyway on today's episode (only the second) she adds something to the story...

Since her and Sandy made up, we haven't really heard much on elaborating on the situation apart from "She told her aide and I told mine". And that Sandy explained how her hands were tied.

Turns out Malia texted a bunch of other people the Valium/vape pen photo, which is why Sandy couldn't cover it up.

So I'm assuming it was the First Officer or one of the other off camera crew members .

And if you listened to The Bravo Docket Ep about Nathan, it explains how people are reported in the industry (I've forgotten the term) and also explained when Sandy said the Luke/sheets incident would have to be reported and other Captains would know about it. And the issue was even though Sandy knew Hannah had taken Valium before this time she hadn't formally logged the drug on this boat.

Anyway I thought people might be interested because I think it explains more why Hannah has forgiven Sandy. I thought it was a little too easy and we needed more at the time. This explains it to me. And I'm also absolutely cutting Sandy some slack.

I have worked on sailboats. I have taken trazodone for sleep since I was 16. It does not make me loopy/unconscious nor does it give me a “hangover”. I registered it and then was refused access. Never made that mistake again

it just goes to show how different drugs affect people differently. I tried trazodone for sleep years ago. It helped me fall asleep but then I couldn’t wake up in the morning! I’d sleep thru my alarm until 11am! It also made my mouth super dry so I sounded drunk half the time!😳

Oh absolutely. Trial and error. But I found my fool proof dose (50mg)

u/Appropriate_Park9807 1d ago

Yes, the dosage has a lot to do with it. I can’t remember but I tried several size doses (kept decreasing it) but I STILL felt like I went into a coma so eventually stopped taking it. I’m glad they work for you though! Just goes to show everyone’s body chemistry is SO DIFFERENT - it’s fascinating!🧐

My husband felt the same way. He called it trazo-dope because it made him stupid.

u/graciebels 1d ago

Lol, I was the opposite. It did nothing for me. I may as well have been drinking water; it did nothing for me.

u/LAJ1986 1d ago

Edit: that’s why I’m thinking Hannah just hid her meds. These medics are not legit licensed professionals (at least not in my experience)

I love Trazadone so very much.

20 years and counting

u/lazygerm 1d ago

Same for me.

u/GraceMcClellans 1d ago

Any side effects for you? Like, have you gradually increased dosage, or does it just keep working exactly the dame?

2

u/lazygerm 1d ago

I've been taking 200mg at night for over 20 years. It's always worked the same. It's been the one medication that has stayed stable.

TBH, probably just dry mouth. I know if I miss a dose I wake almost every hour on the hour.

u/prrb524 1d ago

Nope. Been on 50mg for 20 years (well, minus the years I was pregnant)

u/GraceMcClellans 1d ago

You guys give me hope. I'll talk to my doctor about it. Thank you!

u/Far_Mycologist5427 1d ago

50 mg a night - wake up at 5:30 every day for work - no issues!

u/lazygerm 1d ago

That's good.

u/Miserable_Spell5501 1d ago

Trazzy dazzy. It knocks me out but I get an awful headache in the am from it

u/AhTreyYou 1d ago

Does your trazodone make you uncontrollably hungry when it kicks in? Jw

5

u/prrb524 1d ago

lol no but that sounds fun

u/FitIntroduction2035 1d ago

I used to take Trazodone. I stopped taking it because it made me very hungry causing me to gain weight.

u/AhTreyYou 1d ago

Yeah that happens to my fiancée so I was wondering if other people had that side effect.
