I suspect that one of my coworkers might actually be the devil.

Attack them with a cross, spray them with holy water and chant "The power of christ compels you!".

Is it cause he won't stop singing Holy Diver?

And yes, if he tries to rape you with his massive demon schlong, definitely go This Is The End on his ass.

i was taking lexapro and mirtazapine and they made me feel like shit.

i'm staying on klonopin, propranolol and guanfacine tho coz anxiety.

[Jwar]

I quit SSRI's some time last year I think, after being on them on-off for 6 years. The horrible depression stops once you get accustomed to living a life where you don't just wake up happy, but have to go like accomplish shit to be content.

What do you take kpins for J? If you don't mind me asking. That's essentially a drug. I've bought em on the street occasionally.

I've been on Lexapro fro 13 years now I believe. I've had all kinds of doctors tell me that I shouldn't stop because of my bipolar disorder and because my brain would most likely not be able to produce serotonin like it previously did. Even natural path docs have told me that. I tried multiple times and the brain zaps were horrible, so I resigned to it then realized I was better off. My fear is that one day it will be gone somehow or the drug companies will boost the price back up to when it was 300 bucks a fucking bottle without insurance. Then I'd be screwed.


I take klonopin for anxiety. I have extremely high anxiety, so where as a normal (whatever that means) person could take one and it'd knock them out, it doesn't effect me that way at all. I am high functioning with them. I take two a day .5 mg (lower dosage), but have take up to 4 of them in a day total when it's real bad.

I was off of them for years, then my dad got cancer and I had a mental break down. I literally could not handle shit anymore while I was in TX with my parents. My doctor even though she was opposed to me being on it, subscribed it again. It helped so much. Now I want to get back off and don't know how. I started to taper it, but it's fucking ridiculously hard with all the side effects. Last time I stopped, I was in rehab, so they were able to help me. I need a doctor to help me get off and mine retired last year. I've been looking for a new one, but she was hard to find. I hate those bastards.

Dude that's rough. Finding doctors is such a pain in the ass these days—the system is so fucked up. And I think it's about to get worse... yay.

Side note 1: have you tried mediation to help with your anxiety? Mine doesn't sound as bad as yours, but meditation has helped me a lot. Exercise has been vital for me too, but I know you already know that

Side note 2: make sure to let me know when you come down to TX!

[popvulture]

PS I hope it's not annoying to offer advice on the meditation thing, just sucks to see a bud going through some rough stuff!

I've tried everything under the sun for anxiety.

If I could get off the drug, I could handle it. I know that for a fact because I did previously. What I need is a psychologist to talk to again. I'm embarrassed to back to my old one because I relapse on drugs (weed and kratom), so I'm ashamed. However, maybe that's more of a reason to go. I stayed alcohol free still, so that's good.

Sorry kind of side tracked that.

Exercise, meditation, playing music, listening to music, using an Alpha Stim...etc. These all help. It's the overwhelming non random anxiety that gets me. The OMFG I can't believe this happened and my life is fucked kind of anxiety. That's the shit I have the most trouble with.

Case and point, like when my dad got cancer. I thought I could handle it, then I was having a literal mental break down. Or when my dog died, or when I found out my friend died, or when my HVAC goes out and I cannot afford the 6k it's going to cost to replace it. Shit like that. Then sometimes the small stuff gets me because I'm so overwhelmed by the big stuff.

I really hate anxiety man, that and being bipolar. I wish there was a fucking cure to mental diseases. That would be such a blessing. Though, I'm not selfish, so I'd happily have other things cured before my shit was important enough to cure.

I'll let you know about TX! I'll be right near your neck of the woods!

I should also mention my family life drive me to point of insanity at times. I could write an entire book on that shit.

This is the fucken meeting I'm in today. I'm just sending links to Minor Threat tunes, articles about ayahuasca, and It's Always Sunny memes because I'm gaining a new understanding of how people get to a point where they hurt themselves.

[waltdogg]

looks like i kinda got rolled over being the last post on the last page...

in all seriousness. i had to stop taking lexapro and mirtazapine. they made my gut feel like a knife was being ripped through it 24/7.

[Strange Tales]

Lexapro made me feel like I had no emotions at all. I wasn't really depressed but I wasn't interested in doing ANYTHING at all.

[frodog]

I am on that pill, it's Escitalopram here but I think it's the same. Actually think I function better on it, like I don't cry every day and obsess about stuff, and haven't had any side effects really. Less emotional, but I find that a refreshing state. Although when anxiety does hit, it feels maybe even more intense and icy than before, it just subsides quicker. I still smoke weed, and don't plan to stop. Probably will taper off the SSRIs soon, it's been 7 years, just a shame it seems to be such a hassle, withdrawal-wise... Anyway, different stuff works for diff people. Would still champion natural means (including cannabis) before pharma, but if a pill helps and doesn't zonk you out bad then it could be OK. (not a doctor)

Took my kid to see Cars 3 last night and cried through the whole movie. Not because of the movie. Just because. He didn't notice though, thankfully.
