I was pretty down and depressed for a long while, just too much shit going on you know, life started to feel overwhelming, I stopped taking my pain meds I've been on for almost 2 years, I couldnt sleep, I was having panic attacks, I stopped running/eating/talking, shit was pretty shitty.

Then I talked with my doctor and he put me on lexapro, it didnt seem like it worked right away, but now after 2 weeks or so I think it has really helped. Plus then he gave me some xanax for anxiety and what have you, plus some halcion for sleeping, I think most of the time Im actually pretty happy.

Although I do crave the yummy feeling of some percs, vics, or OC's, but I cant go back down that slippery slope again, the bad shit would just happen all over again.
 
i took elavil for a while
it was like an epidural on feelings
i loved it
 
was on paxil a long time ago and i was on prozac about 2 years ago......heard wellbutrin is nice no bad side affects and works alot faster than other meds...generally it takes a while for the drug to become affective.....wellbutrin only takes a few days from what i was told..same with straterra
 
Ex was on Paxil for a while.........WORST drug ever - soklu hit it RIGHT on the head with her epidural comment.

ITs no wonder that being on Paxil increases probability of suicide by a zillion %.

paxil made me more depressed all i did was sleep my life away...stopped on my own instead of seeking a physician...paxil sucked.....i guess they have a new one out paxil then a number or what ever its suposed to be better but i doubt it
 
I've been on prozac, paxil, wellbutrin, xanax, valium, buspar, effexor, celexa, zoloft and something else too...but I'm on celexa right now. I'd been off for about 18 months before I started getting hit with such severe anxiety that I was having trouble funtioning.

I'm going to get my dose upped again but I feel more "myself" right now.

Exactly..it makes a person SO apathetic to daily life that suicidal thoughts creep in unnoticed
 
i know that zoloft supposedly worked well for mike tyson. lol
"i'm doin this zoloft thing. it's to help me from killing yall" Mike Tyson.
no seriously just be careful when taking even persc. anti depressants. a close friend of my family is currently takig about 7 different scripts. she has gained about 35lbs of fat and water and now seems almost brain dead or noncoherant. its almost like watching the anna nicole show all over again. the only problem i thuoght she had was just being insanely jealous of any other girl around her fiance(this includes network tv and books/magazines) if there were any girls around she would flip out and scream and yell and him for whatever and watch his every move
 
I was 19 or 20 when I went on meds. I was so off the wall out of my mind I didn't really get all that much say. It was either be on them or get pulled out of college and move back to MN where my parents could watch me more carefully.

I'm better than I've been but I was proud of myself for going back on this last time (just a handful of months ago). I knew I was in a downward spiral.
 
It's easy for someone to say that's what the drug companies want to hear etc. I know myself well enough and am aware enough of my emotional state to know when I can handle things and when I might need some help.

When I'm doing bad I tend to wind up 5'7 and 90 pounds, out of my mind in ways you'd never even imagine. There's a difference between taking something just for the hell of it and actually trying to make yourself feel a little more "normal" whatever "normal" is. I just don't ever want to let myself slide down as far as I've been. So deem me weak or whatever for needing meds or counselling or anything else. You're not in my shoes.
 
exactly Raina, My meds make me feel more like I should feel, I dont care what anyone else thinks or if I have to take them the rest of my life, when I wasnt on them a few weeks ago I was a complete mess and thinking about taking unpaid leave from work so I could straighten my shit out, now Im pretty okay and am feeling more like my old self, I think that says alot

touche
but you really have no idea what type of shoes i wear or the places they've been. or the shit they have stepped in.
all i was addressing was how great a company would feel to read a consumer claim their product made them feel more normal. their marketing, research, and distrubtion have coordinated perfectly to get that type of consumer response...
 
I actually never thought that anti depressants would work on people...since i had never really been on em.....but when i took the elavil......it was like.....dang....i dont give a crap about anything
Of course when i went to see my dr i was a crying basket case....i was sooooo depressed.
I still have the 2nd bottle......i only took a few.....i took myself off of them because i was feelign better

I know my ex was on some form of anti-depressant when she committed suicide. I should see if I can find an old prescription bottle or receipt and find out exactly what she was taking. She had made 2 or 3 attempts, that I know of, during her last few months alive, and had been taking her anti-depressant for about 5-6 months.

hmmm.....
 
when my uncle killed himself he was taking anti depressants but i went to his house the day after it happened and he had only used two of the pills.....didnt give them time to work...
 
nope. but ive known plenty of people who have been on plenty of meds.

i'll probably be taking wellbutrin shortly for smoking cessation.
 
Yep. In fact I just returned from my doctor with another 3 months worth of wellbutrin.

I've struggled with depression since I was around 14 but never sought conventional treatment for it until I was 22. I took wellbutrin for 2 years, tapered off and was fine until my father passed away last August. The holidays were really hard this year and I ended up relapsing and going back to my old self-destructive ways of drinking quite heavily to cope. So in february I went back to my doc and he and I decided to go back on for another year or so and then re-evalute.

I like wellbutrin. When I'm on it I don't feel drugged or an artificial happiness. My thoughts are more positive and I when I am actually happy I go with it instead of wondering when I will start to feel shitty again. I'll take it for another year or so and then probably taper off again and see where I stand. If I need to go back on so be it, if not then I will know it is there in case I relapse again. I used to feel guilty for taking something daily to help with my moods but I realize now that life is too short to spend the majority of it pissed off, sad and full of despair or just plain fucking crummy for no good reason. :)
 
This thread is so Aldous Huxley.

And its not a good idea to get mental health medications from a primary care doc, they have lil training in such matters and typically just rotate the meds around til the patient reports them working. You have to go to a psychiatrist, someone who has studied these medications, mental health and brain chemistry for years to have your meds done correctly, not going to the appropriate specialist for this is a huge mistake.
 
The only thing that made me happier was Sam-e, a legal supplement that is very popular in Europe.
The other stuff just made me feel....different. I perceived them as insulation from reality really.

I don't know about the posters here but I think many really want to feel like shit. I have given $40 bottles of Sam-e to people who felt badly....they gave it back without trying it. They also refused to but it themselves and give it a chance.

I wonder about people who won't spend their own money but will rack up $100s/month in insurance policy prescriptions.

Guess I believe in more natural ways to fix things. Slow down, sleep, take dog for walks in the country, rest, exercise, diet, vitamins/minerals etc. Above all else, do not let women mess with your brain. It is like allowing 3' mosquitoes in the bedroom while you sleep.

Not saying I'm happy all the time. Some of my days are as dark as the politics of ..................take a guess.
 
never had to take them.

Love pain killers as a rec drug, but don't have much access to them.

weed works.
 
I'm supposed to be on 100mg zoloft and 100mg of wellbutrin. Sex drive has been almost nonexistent for a year or so. going through a lot of BS regarding unemployment, lost hope, etc. Told my doc that I wanted to started tapering off of this shit. She said no so I'm tapering down myself. I'm at 50mg for both and in another week, I'll drop it to 25mg for a few weeks, and so on. I haven't felt a difference yet. The only major difference I can feel is if I stop them completely for a few days. I then get this extreme dizziness feeling that almost incompasitates me

The Zoloft is whats screwing your sex drive up.Have you tried Wellbutrin without the Zoloft?

I quit Zoloft after about a year and tried a few others but Wellbutrin has been great for me.

in my personal experience it was the opposite
now when I feel the low serotonin blues coming on I get a reload form ym GP
I cycle off and on and switch betw various ADs
the types that work the best have the anaorgasmia side effect that's just not tolerable for long streches

at the momnet I'm taking buspar and liguid deprenyl
I'll take a trazodone or two 50-100mg if I need help sleeping,generally only when I'm still feeling amped up form an evening work-out catalyzed with some speed stack
though I find when I'm feeling better(such as the selegiline/buspar combo)
I don't need a speed stack for the gym,maybe just some caffeine
 
Damn many of you are living through pills. Pills to be happy, pills to sleep, pills to fight pain, pills to keep emotions in check, pills to think, pills to etc etc etc. Whatever happened to addressing the underlying cause and not solely the symptom?

that last paragraph means he loves prescription pain killers.. opiate derivatives such as Vicodin or Oxycontin.

he was hooked on them, and has recently given them up, but now he feels depressed, and as much as he'd like to get high off the poppers, he doesn't want to go down that road again.

Me...I took some zoloft to eliminate premature ejaculation with a hot date who promised some loving.

It nuked my sex drive so I didn't try much...wasn't interested.

That was only one of several things that went wrong that day.

ROFL!!!
 
Iron. I'm not trying to be a smart ass. Lifting keeps me in check. Off the pills, the bottle and the gun away from my forehead.
I have no doctor. I got my shit from over seas pharms, some did little to nothing, others made me a veg or stoned me so bad I couldn't walk.
I have problems, but untill I try to hurt, mame, rape, kidnap, or murder someone else, I'll let it fester....
 
you have to find what works for you and it helps immensely to research and become educated yourself about neuro-transmitters,etc. etc

I basically tell my GP what I want,what dosage and how many
and he's a very capable MD

and no I'm not "living through pills"
I mitigate my consumption and attempt to "get by" with the minimal

when you share some of the same mental characterisitcs as your parents and siblings you know it's not all about environment etc.
I think personally my genetic make-up was suited for the era when we had to kill our food daily and survival was day-to-day

I totally agree with you. I hate hearing from people "deal with it". I've always felt "different" through my life. My emotions at times are uncontrollable and have affected my life in ways I wish I could change and I regret not seeking help...

What about pills to get big and cut?

exactly, well I wasnt completely hooked, but I liked them way too much, and if I had some I would take them no matter what I was doing, I wouldnt take them at work, but any other time I wasnt working Id be gooned up, hell if I had some now I would take them, no doubt, but I dont have any, and I wont ask for any.

Problem I had is that I was taking an opioid that actually increased serotonin levels, so that when I quit cold turkey my levels were all messed up, plus I didnt have the cozy buzz blanketed by euphoria that the pills induced, so basically my world came crashing down. but its getting better day by day.

You can't compare the two as those who take steroids do so for vanity/performance sake. Those who take steroids do not live through them (exceptions can possibly be made for the pros). The big difference is that with steriods the mindset is a want (ie I want to take test to get jacked), whereas with AD's it is a need (ie I need this pill or I won't be able to cope). Take someone off all the AD's and they won't be able to function as there is a dependence.

So it's ok to be vain and take pills but not if you actually need them.

Right

Anyways bro I actually agree with you to some extent but these types of threads always turn into this kind of argument so we'll just agree to disagree on this one. :)
