i've been on valium which is similar in potency to temazepam.

i only have this advice--this is what i would have done if i knew what the withdrawals were like--take it for only about 2 or 3 weeks straight at at time, or you will become dependent on it and the withdrawals from benzos are pure hell. i would take a week or two off every few weeks to get it out of your system.

 

good luck though, benzos work great no doubt.

mmm...i wish i had some temazepam :yum:

 

**edited to add that zoloft is working well for my dad, he says.

don't smoke weed or miss a dose on zoloft...that fucked my shit all up really really bad. I went into emotional hell from both of them while I was on zoloft. I also could not concentrate for shit on zoloft. You could be talking to me and I would kow you were takling and understand what you were saying but I just couldn't focus on anything.

I took them, they turned me into a zombie (I dont have depression though, my use was purely accidental). Speak to my girl though, shes taken all of them.

 

Its pretty bad, shes on xanex or what ever they are called now. Crazy biatch.

i did say anti-poop...ahahhaha! rocxor!

 

i was on my temazepam when i posted that....

 

thanks for all the advice. today will be my 5th day on zoloft and temazepam. i'm feeling better. kinda spacey at points, but i'm sure that's the benzo.

 

if this stuff starts turning me into a zombie, i'm gonna stop and get the doc to put me on something else. i need to be able to think quickly...being a bartender and all...order in my mind is very important.

 

for now, i feel great! getting alot of sleep and relaxed all the time. i got angry at my cat the other day for attacking my dog (he's an ass sometimes) i went to pick him up and swat him, but i immediately rationalized and stopped myself...good deal. the cat is still on my shit list.

Umm you should be ok. When you take the wrong antidepressants you will pretty much know instantly.

 

there isn't a single anti-depressent that begins working in less than 2-4 weeks.

if you have anxiety along with depression, anti depressents can make the anxiety alot worse for the first month or so till your body adjusts to it.

moral of the story is that you're flat out wrong, sorry.

 

who ever said that once you get used to the meds, sexual dysfunctions (ie: not being able to get it up) will go away, is also pretty much flat out wrong. if it robs your sex drive, say goodbye to it.

i took prozac years and years ago, and while it eventually just jacked up any interest i had in sex, for the first couple months, i was like a fucking sexual tyranasorus. i could fuck for 10 hours while doing hand stands and shit. there was no thinking about baseball or grandma naked, it was pure long-stroke porn sex. it was dope.

 

be careful on hardcore benzo's like that. if you're gonna be on a bezo, my vote would be for klonopin, since its the most mild of all of them, and has the most mild withdrawl (which is still no joke).

talk to your dr. about keppra. shit is the joint. no sideffects, just fresh.

 

al,

drinking on any of them is bad, bad idea.

I was considering meds a few years ago.. I'm

sorta glad I waited it out because now I feel I

honestly have a hand on controlling it. I still

get low as fuck... and anxiety's still a bitch here

and there but for the most part I've learned not

to dwell on it.. so basically if someone's saying

something to me and anxiety sorta hits... I don't

really sweat it. Not everyone's always talkative

and if the person I'm dealing with can't handle

that, fuck 'em. I'm not always gonna be in the

mood to crack jokes and be witty. Fuck it.

 

As for depression.. that's chemicals. Truth is

when I'm feeling low I call someone I know

will be glad to hear from me.. it's not a solution

it's more of temporary relief.. but it gets me

through. Maybe someday I'll check out the

meds to see if it really 'fixes' anything. I'd

love to feel like I used to but for some reason

I can't see being able to function on pills

all the time... feeling depressed makes me

sluggish enough as it is... I don't need a

benzo on top of that..

the benzo's are only temporary...supposed to be for two weeks, but the doc gave me 20...i guess the extras are for "fun"

 

i'm racticing meditation...i've got an entheogenist friend who's alsoa clinical psychologist. free advice and counselling...heh.

 

having lunch with a friend who's a criminal defense attorney on thursday...friends in high places fuckin' rocxor.

 

the point is, i'm being sociable now. very passive. relaxed. no drinking, no drugs, just chilling and waiting on the zoloft to take effect. i'm bumped up to 50 mgs a day starting tomorrow. he had me doing 25's the first several days, now it's almost time for 50's.

 

maybe the benzo and the zoloft have asynergistic effect? dunno.

i can be a heavy drinker so i quit alcohol while taking zoloft. after not taking my pills for a week and one 40oz my lips turned purple and my skin turned white. then i puked until teh next morning where i awoke in the middle of nowhere. any substances during zoloft is a bad idea. :D

i've been practicing mindfulness.

 

paying attention to all that i do and feel.

 

meditation (thanks rental) has helped alot.

 

i breathe in, and recite to myself, "i breathe in and calm myself,"

i breathe out and tell myself, "i'm breathing out, and i smile"

simply saying "in" or "out" when breathing is also quite effective.

 

it's just the act of getting mind and body into harmony.

how often do people do that? most just breathe without being aware.

 

it really helps. the meds are helping out alot, too. it's sort of like

a training session to become calm again. mind and spirit are becoming one again.

 

this may sound a bit corny to those who aren't familiar with the tao or buddhism, but it makes sense.

 

 

words from the dali lama, "if you can do something about it, there is no reason to worry, also, if you cannot do anythng about it, there is still no need to worry."

 

wise words.

 

 

peace be with you.
