And my pupils are fucking huge :bored:

:bored:

I've been taking the minimal dose. Its my second day. I look as if I'm on shrooms. Its really annoying, I hate having big pupils, it freaks me out.

I've been prescribed lexapro, paxil, Zoloft, and seroquel xr..oh, and buspar. I've never been able to take any of them more than two days, bc they make me feel super weird....insomniac, no appetite, anxious as fuck, etc. I do without any of them now. :/

Damm. None of them worked for you?

How do you deal with whatever reason you had to take the meds?

I couldn't stand to take any of them the 4-6 weeks it takes for them to get in your system or whatever. My friend gives me a few of his valium, and I take those when I need. Laying down to go to sleep is when my anxiety kicks in most :frown:

I have more good days than bad, and I really don't want something I've gotta take everyday. They don't seem too keen on prescribing valium, though ;(.

I don't take pills. I'm technically diagnosed by the state as schizophrenic, split personality disorder, bipolar, manic depressant and high social anxiety disorder.
Supposedly I have all that. I believe it's the governments way of saying they are scared of what I am capable of. I say fuck Rx meds, sell em and buy weed and oil.

I'd advise you to man up and quit taking meds that will turn you into a government controlled zombie; we all have shit to deal with, so deal with yours quit taking pills, puss.

They said I'm bi-polar, but whatever. I was waiting on the guy to come in here and act like he's better than everyone, bc he doesn't take pills.

It took about a dozen meds, all with horrible side effects, for something to help make me better. I had terrifying side effects from false awakenings to being trapped in my dreams, sleeping 48 hours, hallucinations, list goes on.

Cognitive behavioral therapy only went so far. I had some bad liver results on bloodwork so got kicked over from attempting lithium to trying Lamictal. It's the only thing that's "worked" but I still have to fight every day with my afflictions.

Some things can be broken, some things can be rebuilt, some tools are right for the job.

People dealing in extremes - the "no pharma!" crowd and the "save our children with meds" crowd - tend to help blur the line that there are actually people out there who try every day to live a normal life. Some of us give a fuck enough to resort to medications. Did some (or most) of us ever want this?

Lamictal does works very well. It helped me a lot. But its not a SSRI or anti depressor, so I guess it doesn't really fit in the same category.

Its not as bad as people make it sound around here.

A vast majority of people only have the positive effects.

Just like weed, some people get bad sidde effects, most people just get high and love it.

She asked if I wanted to try Lamictal or Abilify, but I have pretty much given up on them all. Like Dystopia said, I've had some wicked side effects from those drugs, and I'm seriously scared to try anymore of them.

I took Lexapro for two years and disliked it. The only effects I noticed were the inability to cum and horrible sadness the day after missing one.

I quite like the Wellbutrin I'm taking. It helps a lot. The only major side-effect to this is an OVERWHELMING sex drive. I've jerked off five times in the last four hours.

Lol. yeah. Wellbutrin will do that. I wasn't able to keep taking it though, it was giving me panic attacks. I never had a panic attack in my life before, so it made me freak out.

The first one I had was an hour after I ate McDonald's. It hit me suddenly, I got anxious, then really anxious. Then I started thinking that the people at McDonald's put a few drips of acid on my burger (it was the only explanation to sudden anxiety that my brain came up with at the time). And then the panic attack happened, I thought I was gonna die, I called my mom, she couldn't calm me down, but then it stop after 30 minutes. As fast as it started.

And then I stopped Wellbutrin.

I was in a therapy session when that happened to me.

I never saw the woman again. It was so embarrassing.

I never had anything this bad but every medication I ever took had some sort of very shitty unwanted physical side effect.
From erectile dysfunction to constipation, it was terrible.
Also, most people i knew noted a change in me that i was completely unable to perceive, for whatever reason...Placebo effect maybe?
