If so what's it like?

they prescribed it to me when i was 10 cause i was moody. quite frankly i didn't think i was anymore tempermental than the next guy but i had a concerned mother and a money hungry psychologist so there it went.

in the end, nothing happend. that drug, like just about every "approved" drug, is useless.

never.


but i did slam a bottle of redbull... that got me pumped up.

well I got some today for depression and anger. I don't want to take them cause I like who I am and don't want to be chemically altered

Curly. Did i set of your episode?

If so i am sorry.

If not ..... He shoulda worn a seat belt.


Wait! Curly you dont like to be chemically altered but you like beer?

oh wait. Its only beer.. Right?

just stop trying to think Blake.

That was the first time in 3 years I had touched a beer and I haven't had one since.

i havent had a beer since either,

I had a tall can after work last night......

thanks for all your help

Curl will tell you what my mother told me about it.


She had no problems with it. But the doctor told her that some people react diffently.

So my advice is try one and see how you feel.

You cant just try one. You have to take them for like a week before you get any affect.....

Correct..I think its 2 weeks actually...my wife is a therapist.

I dont trust psyc meds.....

Either does she.....she says like 95% of people on them dont need them

I dont think people should alter the way they think or their attitudes, especially with chemicals that effect the brain. It is the way that they are, what sets them apart from the next guy. Pharmacutical companys are trying to turn everybody into mindless hypocondriacs......

Where did you steal that from?

I thought I thought of it on my own. Maybe I subconciously remember it from somthing I heard before......

yea.

Billy your dumber than dog ****. You stole that.

From where? Im the smartest dumb guy you know biatch......

Kaps if you so smart, why did'nt you pick Randy to beat beat tito.


PWNED!

Then I'm on Seroquel and Trazodone everyday too, to keep me calm and non-violent. lol, I tried not taking ANY pills at all for 3 days in a row once.. shoulda ****'n seen me, it was like living in a damn nightmare.

ok kaps abuse your mod powers to make me look like i didnt pick TRandy.



you punk.

*loads .45*

mouse is that other 5%

yah that should be shot like a rabid dog and buried

I'm on wellbutrin and prozac. I've been trying to wean off of them and not having much luck. But mental illness runs in my family and I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact I might never get off of them. I liked who I was before I was on them, I just don't like how I could lose control and go beserk. If I could control my temper when not on meds, I would drop them, but I have tried and not had much luck. I have been able to enjoy my family more since I've been on them. And that is what really counts. It's just finding the right dosage.

What I was worried about was if I would actually know if I had changed any. I've talked to a few people who take it and they're all like "oh it's great" and I get this image of that movie with the zombies in it all saying "Come join us".
I'm sure its not as bad as I'm trying to make it out to be.

That's what I'm trying to say. The only thing "wrong" with me is I get depressed when I'm behind on my bills or owe money. Hell I thought everyone did that. Also, I get pissed at people (other men) for stupid reasons and go off. I have no tolerance for stupidity.

Can you share with us what sparked you going to the doctor? Were you keeping your pimp hand strong

I get depressed when we have money problems. I also get angry. I have no tolerence for stupidity.

I think you are normal Curly

Its a long story but basically a guy was asking me for directions and wouldn't shut up long enough for me to finish what I was saying.

Before that a guy I know came over with a friend and started talking **** about everything and everyone. He really didn't say any one thing wrong just his attitude.

So after those two my wife said I needed to talk to someone cause it wasn't normal.

I don't think I'm going to take it. I go to this Doc that talks to me for like 5 minutes and slaps down the drug.

Do not change your brain, you are a good person with good morals, so what if people piss you off. People are stupid, and when you have a family money problem are a big deal. I mean when we do not have enough $ to buy something we need I get depressed because i feel like i am not provideing and i feel like a loser. then I get angry.

Are you skitzo Mouse? I only as because my dad is and he takes Seroquel. That **** knocks me on my ass. I take 2, Im out for atleast 16 hours.....

I think I should be.

I can't sleep AT ALL if I don't take my Seroquel or Trazadone.. they all come in different mg. ...I'm takin a lot of 'em every night. If I don't take them, I'll be up wide awake for a few days doing research, making ****, writing, painting, cleaning, lol.. so it's just better if I take them an hour before I want to go to sleep every night. Seroquel and Trazodone are the leading and best pills to give Viet-Nam vets in order to control their flashbacks and sleeplessness, as well as schitzo's.

My dad takes 5 a night and still gets up in the middle of the night to watch tv. Crazy......

Exactly.. I'll get up in the middle of the night even though I'm on that **** about 3 times a week. Ussually make myself a small drink, take about 2 more pills, and watch t.v. 'till they kick in and I'm relaxed again.

They do not work on the average joe Curly. You are alive, there for you are stressed, its every day living. These meds only work on severe cases, I have a friend that is always depressed and is taking this ****, he is still depressed and his wanker doesnt work which causes him problems with his wife and he get more depressed. Life is life, the only way to deal with idiots is to stop taking things so seriously, **** people they are never going to change regardless of what pill you take, they will alway piss you off only you will not be able to react to their ignorant behavior, how is that any better?

It's a whole lot better.

Oh okay, I see what you mean.

Honestly if I stopped taking all my meds, within about a month I'd say, I'd have to be committed to an institution... and those places are just ****ing wierd man, not to mention slow and borring. But just ****ing wierd.. so I'm willing to take my meds regularly, lol.

Your case is completely different though, Carl is just dealing with moeny issues, family and dumb people. I do not think he would be dealing with all these feelings if he was well off financially and would be able to have his own business without having to deal with morons

the problem i see with this **** is that everybody credits the doctors wayyyyy too much. they think that just because a DOCTOR recommends it that it will work miracles for them (kinda how everybody just blindly assumes that their attorney knows what they're talkin about).

the majority of potential prozac poppers are in various levels of depression and looking for something to make em feel better. so then they get convinced that this ****'s gonna be a solution because a doctor said so. once it stays the same then they're even more bummed and let-down.

Right now my shrink prescribed valium to me for my insomnia but that's just a short term fix, I just started taking something called lexipro. I used to be on Trazedone too, but it made me feel dull for work. I could take 10 bong hits and be more alert than while on trazadone. I don't feel **** from the new meds yet though, they say it takes two weeks for it to work. My ex says that Prozac turned her life around though. She used to cry alot and now she's NEVER sad. Whether it's the prozac or that she broke up with me I can't say though.

Kato is right Curly. It sounds as if you are just dealing with everyday stuff. Money issues are enough to depress anyone. It's when you are depressed for no apparent reason, you don't want to do anything, all you can do is sleep or eat. Or even the opposite of that. I have clinical depression and my family can tell when I haven't taken my meds. For you, ignore the doc. 5 minutes is not enough evaluation time....listen to Kato. She smart woman:)

lol, not sure about that madcrewmomma...but thanks, I just hate to see all these people that think that the only accepted feeling is happiness or love and that anything else should be hidden behind a bottle.

Clinical depression is way different, chemical imbalance is tough and like you say madcrew, it comes out of nowhere and for no reason.

LOL....well, since I do suffer from the worst type of depression, I say you are sooo right. You are a smart woman. We all have problems and we need to solve them the old fashioned way. Hard work and perseverence will overcome most obstacles. It's recognizing the real thing. I fought taking meds for soooo long. Glad I finally did it. I would like to get off them one day, though.

I have clinically depressed friends, some were not diagnosed in time and I lost them forever when I was in high school, I am glad that finally doctors are able to pin point and indentify clinical depression, I just do not like the doctors that are using the meds as a cure all.

Not for me goddamnit, I like fast food and faster women. I want a quick fix PRONTO and I want to take the western narcotic approach. If throwing money and drugs can't fix it nothing can. I'm an American Goddamnit and instant gratification is just too damn slow.

Bromazepam belongs to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system).

Bromazepam is used to relieve anxiety. However, this drug should not be used to relieve nervousness or tension caused by the stress of everyday life.

Some benzodiazepines are used to treat insomnia (trouble in sleeping). However, if used regularly (for example, every day) for insomnia, they usually are not effective for more than a few weeks.

That would explain my month supply of Diazapam, which I believe is generic valium.

Most of the time I have trouble sleeping. Unless I get in a two to three hours of working out I can never sleep at a normal time.

There is your answer right there...

I'm on some pretty stiff meds so I don't flip out and kill someone or myself.. sometimes they don't work so I take razor blades to my skin.. or sometimes when it's more servere I'll heat up a thick square piece of iron that I have till it turns red with a torch.. then lay it into my skin for a few seconds and listen as my skin sizzles, then I'll feel better for a short time after that. When I was dating a dominatrix from Passive Arts Studios, she would rip the **** out of my back with bull whips and single tails.. but she's long gone so all I got are my meds, and the things I do on the side when my meds aren't working.

Something about your posts make me a little bit uncomfortable sometimes Matt.

No see, this is where people get lost if they haven't experience this before.. but I'll tell you what it's like since this thread is about it.

It’s not just something that I can let go, nor is it focused on one time in my life like most people suffer with. Rather I deal with a constant feeling, a constant screaming in my head that drives me up the ****ing wall.

Imagine that you’re trapped inside of a completely dark room, it’s cold and you are naked and vulnerable, and all around you echoing off the walls are screams of torture and pain that bounce off your body and toy with you, all the while nails are being hammered into your skull and fingernails are slowly ripping the skin from off of your body. There’s no where to go, and if you are left alone with it, it will be the death of you. It’s not something that most people can just “deal” with like when your boss screams at you or your kids act up. It’s something inescapable that is anything but physical. It consume mind, soul, and is toying with you everyday until the last day of your life when it finally takes you to your death. Imagine living with that every day, knowing that it is pouncing on you, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Wouldn’t you end your life in order to escape it? There is no torture compared to it, it’s the worst feeling that both the physical and spiritual world have to offer.

To say, “Just deal with it and stop being a *****” is so ****ing ignorant of anyone to say; because if they felt what I feel too, they would cry and writhe on the floor because they mocked something so powerful, something that they have no control over, and something they know wants to put them through hell, and it’s always with me. So yea, pills ****ing help. The screaming can keep me up for ****ing days on end with my eyes wide open until I decide to take my pills. … now if I don’t take my depression pills it’s way ****ing worse than that. Ripping pieces of skin off my body, slicing it, and burning and melting it are all a small price to pay for not giving into the ****ing demons I carry around with me and ending my life.

Yea well I was being serious.

The best horror writing is created upon previous life experiences within the soul of it’s writer.

I write horror stories for my English class. The teacher loves it… but the only reason that I can write horror stories well is because in real life I am tortured by the very things that I write about, the feeling that is. The feeling of being ravaged and broken 24/7 by a force that I can’t grasp no matter how hard I try.

I am not as crazy as you mouse. At least not yet, sure I may have some quirky issues, but I believe modern medicine(drugs) will fix us right up.

I'm crazy but I found beer, rugby and fighting.

It's the same ****ing reason I do other things, to quiet my mind for that short period in time. Things like drinking, smoking, drugs, my pills, self-harm, violence on others, tat's, working out like a maniac at the gym, (I did three full hours of cardio the other day in order to MAKE myself colapse and feel "relaxed."), I can't hold a steady girl because I'm way too ****ing "intense" for most girls.. 'sept the ones who are ****ing crazy but I don't need that **** anymore. So I'm alone with my torture and mind-****ing, thank God for pills.

Any of you who said you are against pills, and read all my **** above and STILL say you are against pills, then I hope you die young and your mothers get raped and stabbed. Sometimes if we are left alone with our own thoughts without any pills, our days are drastically reduced here on this planet.

Well, I think you know how I feel about pills. They're kinda like vitamins, only better.

ok all **** talk aside mouse i'm just curious how do you feel when your on these pills do you still have same kinda **** going on or does it control it pretty well

Zero.. it's wierd really. It really depends on the pills cuz my shrink's have had me on a lot of different **** over the years. There was one, I forget the name of it.. but about a year ago they had me on this **** that made me into a no-emmotion vegetable whenever I took the pills, like I could still go to work and whatever, but I had no emmotion at all, i didnt care, etc.. didnt like that.

But now I'm on **** that let's me feel a lil bit of my natural emmotion but yet still supresses it enough to stay under control. The screaming in my head is a lot quieter, but there are sometimes when I lose it and just don't know what the hell to do. I reject the old pills because I like to feel my emmotion, me and both my shrinks negotiated taking the ones I'm on now because they make me less violent but still give me the satisfaction of being relaxed a lil bit. I dunno, I piss them off all the time when I dont take my pills the way I should it's hillarious.

I'll write books on this when I come back from lunch, goin to sizzler.. I got a grip to say about this ****. be back in an hour.

damn that's a trip man crazy how different pills make you feel different ways

Thanks for all the good advice. I decided not to take them. I like me but I do need to learn to control my temper and not hit people and not stay up all night worried about money and **** that I can't control.

I was on it for awhile, made me sleepy and drowsy so I switched to another drug called Wellbutrin and used that for a few months. Didn't make a big enough difference to me so I quit taking them. Before you go to bed every night, tell yourself about 50 times, "I'm a happy and positive person." Sounds like some psycho **** don't it, but it's been working for me, I've been much less miserable than usual, more positive and better at coping with the ****ing bull**** that life serves us all up on a daily basis. And if you're gonna do drugs, **** prozac, just smoke a bowl everynight before you go to bed, THC is the only drug the world ever needed.

I understand why you wouldn't want to take the medicine.
From what I understand, Prozac isn't like a tranquilzer, like most anti's, it's more of a stimulant. That's why it works well with people who are depressed, not having anger problems.
It just kinds of picks you up a little and makes things not so overwhelming.Where if you are having anger problems, it would either fuel the feeling you're having, or you'd be more able to look over people's stupidity.

Mouse, I dont want you to take this to offense, its a perception of what you write, not necesserily you, because I do not know you and am not aware of your daily behavior. It seems that you suffer from psychotic episodes, Schizophrenia if you will, and in these cases I do believe medication is the best choice. My trig professor in College suffered from this and even though he was a genious he ended up in the streets with dimensia because his insurance was cancelled and he could no longer pay his meds.

I just feel that too many people are being prescribes medication without real need. Too many children on Redilin because they are "too active" not because they have issues with learning or concentration. We are using medications many times in this nation as an escape to every day living and every day living is never ending...

Those drugs make it hard to cum too, takes forever when I'm on 'em.
