######6 medications

i am ######6 sick of taking a $#%^ load of ######6 medications in the morning that were made by some ######6 quacks and the ######6 psychiatrists are owned by the ######6 drug company. i would rather be able to ######6 masturbate all the ######6 time and use a natural remedy for depression like ######6 weed. I do not like the idea of being ######6 dependent on some ######6 pills. how about you?

I have to agree with you. Were you this angry before?

patm3300,

I understand your frustration. Once I figured out something was not right with me (25 years ago), I started a long path to try and "fix it". I never envisioned taking prescribed drugs then. Today I take 7 regularly (two for mood) and 1 occasionly.

I started with therapy, and new agey type stuff such as: excercise, diet, chiro, shiatsu, meditation, yoga, religions, rolfing, etc. This lasted for about 6 years, and I would often go some time w/o troubles, but I would always find may back to deep depressions, cutting, and PTSD fits.

I gave up pretty much most of it except diet, mild excercise and chiro for about the next 17 years. I had less cutting (became more socially ept), same depression, and slowly receding levels of PTSD.

Then, came the diagnosis six years ago - bipolar. I started taking Lithium and that made things much better and more consistent. Although it dulled my thinking. I also got into therapy again.

During the past two years I also tried six anti D's and Depakote for my moods and they all failed vs. the Lithium. Then, I started Lamictal about 12 days ago, and every day so far I feel normal. No mania, no depression, just an easygoing feeling and lots of concentration. Wow. I'm trying to not get too caught up in excitement.

At this point I can only conclude that for me, the only things that have proven to be useful is therapy and prescribed drugs.

Good luck with your path,

A correct diagnosis is absolutely necessary when deciding which treatment(s) would be best for any given individual. Have you ever considered getting a second opinion? Perhaps you just haven't been given the right treatment yet, be it pills or otherwise.

yo! hey man, i feel yor pain, i don't think it's the prozac, cause thats fine for me, but the risperdal made me feel that way, get ######6 off it, if you aren't happy, then quite, step down slowly though, like break on in half and take it for a few days, and so fourth, risperdal sucks for long term use it makes you feel dead, don't take it unless you have too, and smoke some weed dude, it always helps:)your friendly stoner buddy:)yo if you need some and you live in tn, i can hook u up
