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

[mactbone]

It's not like some of us are so independent we loathe knowing we need a pill to help us... Believe me, if I thought that "changing things" would help - then I would assume moving to college, then changing my major twice would do it, especially if High School was the crappiest four years of my life. It just doesn't work that one day you say - "Hey, I'm not happy, why don't I become happy!".

WRT Paxil, I was taking it in the afternoon, but I found that I would get really tired he hour or two prior to my next dose, so I take it in the morning and it's working out pretty good - I'm not more tired than usual.

Maniac. I read your comments about instructing depressives to take control of their lives with fascination.

I now await your advice to amputees to regrow their limbs.

Hey, dildos bring people pleasure.

I was taking Zoloft. That drug, however, has a particularly unpleasant side effect. It gives you explosive diarhrea and an tendency to crap oneself.
Yeah, I figured out that if I took it before I went to sleep, I wouldn't have that problem, but then it gave me massive (and very smelly) gas. I decided to stop taking it.

I could probably use something else, though. Pot would be nice.

For me Zoloft just caused hives and bronchial spasms. It's wonderful!

It has helped some people I know though. That's the fun of mental disorders, the doctors aren't really sure themselves how the medication will affect you. They just make an educated guess and watch.

[chequita guevara]

It made me feel a lot better about myself, except when I lost control in public.

Depakote made me drowsy at first, but after taking it for a year I was used to the effect and it wasn't a problem anymore. However, when I stopped taking the stuff, I wasn't able to sleep much for about three months.

Imagine youre self-esteem after a big ****e in your pants

[chequita guevara]

One I figured out it was the drug, I didn't feel so bad, but up to that point it was a pretty big blow to the self-esteem.

Do you still not understand the difference between people who are depressed because things aren't going so hot for them, and people who are depressed because the chemicals in their brains are imbalanced?

prozac, lithium, and norpramin for a few months in 94. for depression. i was prescribed to prozac after i quit high school. the others upon being commited to a mental hospital later that year.

none of it really helped though, my problem is more a logical one than an emotional one. i dont necessarily *feel* depressed all the time, i just think the world is a pretty rotten place.

in the end, only smoking pot has ever helped my 'condition'.

Quote some Tupac lyrics so that we can better understand where you're coming from.

Environmental depression is a mental problem. So you can cure it by changing your mentality. Seems obvious. Hell I did it. Why can't you? And don't tell me it's because your life sucks/sucked that much more than mine. Then do something about it. Forcing yourself to do little things like taking a shower every few days or eating on a fixed time is a good start, even if you don't feel like it. Is that really that impossible to do? Create some willpower. Turn the vicious circle around. It's a self-increasing effect.

Yes I do. Read my answer to Loinburger. That comment was directed to Lauren who became depressed by a dying family member.
