SMdoubleXL Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 def agree with her ^^ with that "not be able to feel emotion" then it takes extreme things to make you feel anything at all. then you isolate yourself...or people isolate you because of that. if you think you need it give it a shot-to each his own- try to make it short term while you really figure out the root of your issues and deal with them head on. take control of your life. be well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clizclean Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 They actually made me not be able to feel emotion or be excited about anything and I just felt like a shell of a person and ended up with me attempting suicide, being in a coma in the ICU for a week and then shipped off to the nut house. . gtfo, only pussies TRY to kill themselves. how do you fuck that up?

blood fart Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Well, it goes something like my door was kicked in and I was found in a coma and taken to the hospital. And yeah, you're right...nobody ever attempts suicide and lives through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 No matter how fucked up your situation it can ALWAYS get worse. Xanax and its cousins can certainly help you make shit worse. Like 7 years ago i was in a similar situation. Given Zoloft & Xanax for anxiety and depression. These problems were binary and revolved around one another. Depressed about being anxious and having panic problems. Anxious because i was depressed and didn't think I was ever going to shake the shit. Long story short the Zoloft never worked or rather i never gave it a chance to work. i simply elevated my xanax 4mg --> 6mg a day and pretty soon i was going to 2 doctors for 12 mg a day. 360mg a month & buying more off the street. Taking the xanax to black out, Take enough stick bats and no matter how fucked up shit is you no longer care. Problem is them shits turned me evil. Try and give that SSRI a fair go before you get gone off benzos. I quit taking them problematically 4 years ago and I'm only just now beginning to put shit back together. Other than that some of the side affects off these psych meds are just as bad or worse that the symptoms that predicate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 dude. i dont kno. Its a habit. Once in a while i may try and delete some shit in a top line and it throws off my whole text block so i have to go thru and fix every line under the problem to get the shit back looking HIP HOP FRESH. At this point it bothers me to do it any other way.

abcs Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 And twinky. I realize its easier to just pop pills but if you change a few things you may find you dont need em. They are kinda big things. Figure if you smoke tobacco whenever you begin to need a smoke its anxiety. If you drink a bunch of coffee every day. That will give you tension. If you walking around off not enough sleep every day thats not a good thing either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q666 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 /didnt read the thread oner... but my 2 cents is this: when i was on anti-depressants (like a decade ago) i absolutely hated it and it made me feel like a robot with no emotions whatsoever and i quickly decided that i would rather deal with my shit on my own than have a drug fucking with my head.

.hopeless. Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 If you are taking drugs to fix your mental problems, you are only going to get worse. It's all in your mind br0. wow im hearing alot of hate for the anti anxiety and depressant drugs in here...well anyways i just wanted to throw my 2 cents out there.. ive been struggling with depression ocd and panic attacks since about the 6th grade.and for the longest time i felt the same way.that i could beat it without pills and that i didnt need to take any.i had the same mindset that i could beat it with shear will power.unfortunately i was wrong and after 5 or 6 years of trying to supress all the anger and sadness and whatnot it all just boiled over and i was having some hardcore panic attacks everyday all day.i would maybe get like 2 or 3 hours of peace throughout the day.my life was hell for about a month and a half before i just couldnt take it anymore.i didnt sleep.i went a week without any sleep period.i wouldnt eat.i went from 185 to 158 in a months time.i probably would have died or gone completely skitzo if i didnt go get help.now that im on ativan and xanax it calms me down enough to one where i can sleep through the night without waking up every hour or so but more importantly it lets me calm down to the point where i can think straight and get through whatever im stressing on. so its all relative.i say try to get through it without meds first and if you just cant cope do what i did and get help.because i honestly think if i didnt i would have offed myself.not on some emo shit like "oh the world is so cold" or anything like that but just because i was so unbelievably stressed out and having panic attacks all day everyday i couldnt take it.i honestyly wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy.shit was lame on so many levels.im much better now though and only have panic attacks maybe once every two weeks and they are not nearly as severe.plus im back up to 175 180 pounds so good for me. anyways just thought id throw that out there.but i respect all yalls opinions.do what you do if it works than do it.if its doing more harm than good find something else.

mackfatsoe Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I take xanax everyday but I don't have health insurance so I have to get it by other means. The line between having anxiety and needing medication, and having a pill problem and needing medication, is, well, very very fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pew_Pew_Pew Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Was on lexapro at one time. The shits the greatest drug out there. At first you will have some bathroom issues but that quickly goes away. I had sexual issues while taking them. That sucked hardcore. I had a doctor tell me that you can drink while on lexapro, it is not metabolized in the liver like some other medications.

Feed Yer Ego Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 yeah honestly with your drug issues twink it's probably pretty unsafe to have benzos around while you're trying to work on your dandruff i'd say either sell 'em or stash 'em for those shitty panic attack urgent emergency type times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinky the kid Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 wow, thanks to all for all the insight and advice i really appreciate it. honestly im not totally gung ho on the idea of being on meds. all the possible side effects have me a bit concerned. im not really trying to solve my problems with meds, but just use the meds as a crutch to kind of get my focus back so that i can take care of business. plus it was nice to not have one panic/anxiety attack free day yesterday, thanks to the ativan. i felt super calm and relaxed and i could think rationally. it was really nice, it was like remembering what life was like when i wasnt stuck with all this bullshit. my therapist advised me to stick with the lexapro and ativan for at least a month to see how i respond to it. which kind of worries me as well. but ever since being prescribed meds, i have a pretty optimistic out look lately, im just hoping its not false hope.

NightmareOnElmStreet Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 worst side effect possible. with all that shit. is the possibility of feeling even worse. a shitty outlook treated with meds can turn into a hurricane of emotional fuckery, leaving you numb and wondering why the hell your in a nut house.... takeitfromexperienceoner.

SMdoubleXL Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 it seems a common effect being said by those who take meds is the numb feeling..and being worse after all all is said and done. of course we should listen to the Dr...but in all reality he is the one who just gets paid for the meds he's handin out. I'm just gonna throw this out there and make an assumption...he probably came into the patient room, asked 'whats wrong?' you begin to tell him, and after his time is up (yes his time, because thats how he gets paid), he cuts you off mid sentence, he reaches in the catch all drawer of ADHD/anxiety/depression and pulls out the meds that he is buying from his hot little drug representitive that comes into the office, buys lunch and has her cleavage in full affect. He gets paid, she gets paid, the drug companies get paid, only because you have just now entered the catch 22 of perscription world. again, good luck. i think im up to .06 now. (not mg.....my 2 cents...a few times already).ha I hope this was not the senario..and that maybe it is an actual physcologist who is using the meds to assist with counselling.

john_gacy Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Out of curiosity, these threads pop up from time to time. What exactly is it that people have against therapy? Why is it that the risks associated w/ meds outweighs whatever negatives one would face with therapy? A lot of the responses in these threads seem to indicate that people were generally unhappy w/ meds or that it didn't work for them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking meds, especially for things like Bipolar Disorder or Schizophrenia, but I think other things could be better solved with therapy over time.
