Depression and Anxiety(meds or no)

[KnoXville]

Knoxville what do you reccomend,I was thinking weed a few times a week valium or shit like that maybe ambian to sleep but I can only get weed not valium or ambian which seem to be a prob

My personal philosophies don't adhere to using psycho-recreational drugs for artificial happiness, so you make the choice regarding if that will help or hinder you in the long run.

Ambien is only sold in the us, so no getting it in ontario and valium is quite expensive as OHIP canada has cut out many drugs so chances are they won't help with cutting costs.

inositol helps with both anxiety and depression, and has been used very successfully - so essentially you would be hitting two ostriches with one prosthetic testicle by implementing that. Up to 4 grams three times per day should work for both.

high dose b12 injections also help increase mood and energy levels, I can vouch for that right now as well as increased hunger, I posted most of the studies under another user name on the anabolic board if you want more info on its pharmacological effects.

I've also read quite recently that niacinamide which is a analog niacin (Vit B3) acts in the brain very similar to benzodiazepines (drugs in the valium family) try 100mg (maximum 400 mg) three x per day.

I think that the Inositol + Niacinamide combination would do the trick. Start low with the doses and try to find a way to cycle it, not use it for months straight.

Im as fucked up as the norm gets, if that makes any sense.
I have ADD, social anxiety-phobia, schizo..amongst a few other things. If you meet me in person I can pull it off well. Its after awhile when my true colors being to show.

The anxiety-phobia in terms of dealing with people on a social level hit me hard when I was in a teenager. Just one day I woke up and bam, I had the fear of meeting people and was very insecure of what I said. For years I was depressed with some in between happy moments while the anxiety and phobia kept rising.

Just going to a cafe and asking for a cup of coffee drenched me in a cold sweat (mainly in hands) at a Starbucks shop. It was that bad. All that occurred for years with no meds until I started to go out and meet girls so to speak since I was tired of being the lonely guy.

So in the past year or so, especially living in a pad with a few people (mainly girls) and associating with the bar-club scene..you can say that my anxiety and phobia has reduced by a good amount. Its still there nevertheless, and I still have to FIGHT IT OUT so to speak. Ive tried one of the benzos but it just made me slow and sleepy which did not but deflate my social being with people.

Im hoping that by me continuing to force myself to socialize with people (like living in a pad with a few other people where I have no choice but to deal with em) that I will continue to decrease my anxiety. I personally think that with my ADD there is no cure and have a feeling that even Ritalin wont do much. Im trying to practice a few habits of being more organized and so far its been working somewhat.

Im just trying different things before I jump into meds, good luck with your future dude.

Do they really check your records?


anyway, does canada have a 90 day import law like america does, where you can import prescription drugs w/o a prescription? There are places that sell prozac and whatnot, usually located in india.

If you don't want to go that route, there are several anti-depressants/anti anxiety agents that are OTC.

SAM-e, 5-HTP, Inositol, Kava kava

I had a nervous breakdown/psychotic break around age 17 due to the change of lifestyle (leaving high school, etc). Fucked me up royally mentally, i still have daily flashbacks. Anyway, you should find a way to solve this because it might become 10x worse if you let it control you.

go see a doctor and get on paxil or zoloft. the police can't deny you for seeking medical treatment. the background check has more to do with driving records and who you lived with.

they check everything and im sure they dont want a cop with problems in the head

Lock this bitch…..for those that didn’t have the pleasure of reading this. I copied and pasted from earlier. The grammar and spelling has changed for some reason, but the content is still the same.

Summary of report (page 10 of 14)

The members of EF represent a cross-section of modern American society (almost like a soap opera). From one spectrum you have the proud but yet over-zealous homosexuals like BeastBoy and Nathan, who wear their boyish, yet openness of the joys of gays sex like a badge as a tormentor to heterosexuality.

Kayne somewhat resilient yet a almost disturbed young man, whom with his directness and strong stance almost spells sadness and loss. To social aggressors like Prophet Scream whom with his sometimes twisted humor demonstrates a “two-fingers” up attitude to the resistance and stiffness of ignorance and narrow-minded beliefs and cultures.

However, this represents a cross section not of a average particular section of American culture not necessarily a ‘normal’ average society, more of a blown-up exaggerated Jerry Springer audience. This is much mediated by the moderators (know as mods), who all sho sign of moderate to excessive megalomania.

whom single handedly have sculptured thE conversation board similar to their own beliefs are and the kinds of people they believe they would have as friends. Not it the best intents of the board but for themselves.

Similar to how a government would shape their nation. You have Bikinimom as self-appointed genius who feels her wisdom and insight is par to that of Einstein. A self-obsessed, almost attention seeking middle-aged lady, who from time to time, expels psychotic rants of social injustice and enlightenment. Who has kind nature buy dwells on the fantasy of being in a male-dominated environment.

To Kronk, who almost shines inferiority, and Wodin a moderator who may or may not have/had social problems demonstrated buy his immoderate fixation with locking threads and almost invert authoritarianism-complexity, probably highlighting his need for power and stability.

[distanced]

I just recently started 25mg of paxil cr everyday. I feel exactly the same, but I've quite smoking and drinking. I just feel like it's dumb to do either now, so I guess it did something for me!

My point is that if you weren't hospitalized for it, then they don't care. I know. I am in the process of getting in to law enforcement. Get yourself better. Being careful of who you hang out with is more important.
