Just how many of you were or are on some form of psychological medication?

[Alexander's Horse]

It seems like a lot of you have taken psychological medicines or are taking them judging by some posts I have seen on another thread. A lot depression around, bit of an eye opener really!

I've never been on psych meds - but I tend to put others onto them Mrs Horse says.

Through my blissful eccentricity, I like to think of myself as self medicating

What did you take?

What condition did you have?

If you never have been medicated for mental illness, what is your secret to keeping sane?

Does knowing me help?

You like my jokes don't you

[KrazyHorse]

I'm a very happy person. I don't need very much to divert me...

[Asher]

Woo, look at me

I've tried two different SSRI (Zoloft and recently Paxil), a Tricyclic Antidepressant (Novotriptyn), and a MAOI (Parnate) in the course of my lifetime already.

What condition did you have?

Depends on the doctor you ask.
Some say moderate bipolar depression, some say dysthymic disorder, some say reactive depression.

Selfishness usually.

I don't know why, but I'm fairly stable.

I suffer from different things varying from "Don't give a sh!t" to "I'll solve all the problems around me(excluding my own)"

I use denial. It works.
Yes it does.

I smoke some weed, occassionally. Does that count?

The best anti-depressor medic !

[loinburger]

Risperdal for schizophrenia (except that I'm not schizophrenic, so it didn't do much for me but make my hands shake), and Depakote and Prozac for bipolar. Started on meds about eight years ago, got off them almost two years ago.

I was on drugs when I was a kid, ritalin and another drug, I believe.

I don't take any drugs now - hell, I won't even take an asprin unless I'm in some really severe pain. (last time I took asprin was a year ago when I got food poisoning)

Damn drugged up hippies!
