completely insane from drugs.

I hated Zoloft. Made me feel like an absolute wreck!!

My ex was prescribed something years ago for depression when our son passed away.

For awhile she did fine and things were as good as they could be given the circumstances.

Our problems begin when she decided to quit taking it cold turkey after being on it for awhile.

She went completely crazy, and as much as I tried to make things work out, it ended our relationship with me being given sole custody of our daughter. It took her years to get straightened out, but she is finally the same person that she was before all of it happened.

So if you do come off of these things, I think it should be a slow tapering process as I think stopping all at once is asking for trouble.

I'm diagnosed Type 1 Bipolar, Manic Depressive and in the last 2-3 years have been prescribed every drug listed so far in this thread. Didn't like most of them but that's not uncommon. Currently doing ok on Prozac and an anti convulsive called Divalproex SOD. I'm 38 and my entire 30s have been lost years.

Honestly just being somewhat stable for a majority of the time is success in my case and as good as I can hope for as far as quality of life goes. I live alone. Probably always will. Therapy. Just cope best I can but fact is I'm touched.

The brand name of Divalproex SOD is Depakote. I'm currently on it for seizure control post surgery ( I had epilepsy surgery over the summer). At higher doses, 3000 mg. daily I got tremors in my arms hands and jaw. And my memory and ability to think started to get worse to the point where my Dr. cut the dose to 500 mg. daily since I don't need the doses to control my seizures after my surgery I feel better but for a while it was the only thing standing between me and my seizures which will hopefully gone due to the surgery. What dose are you on?

Lol....brother... fuck yes it happened to me. I was given several anti depressants in the conquest of treating a strange fucked up stomach issue I'd been having for a long time. Should have known when the doctor wanted to treat a physical problem by altering my brain. lol I straight turned into the most evil short tempered dangerous person anybody had ever seen. I got what the doctor said was "unconscious rage" no joke. I litterally ran through my garage wAll, nearly caved in the overhead garage door with my head and feet, blood everywhere from my face and hands spray pInted across the door "your all fucking dead whores" about ten feet wide. Lol Completely destroyed my functional trainer with a wood bat and a hammer and a 45 lb plate the damage was very extensive. Luckily quarantined myself in the garage. BRracaded the doors shut pitched my backpacking tent and at one point actually started a wood fire with gasoline on the floor of the tent. Lol fucker burnt to the ground. I was completely fucking mad. I was laughing and cackling and crying and some crazy violent outbursts. Gf said I went 5 days without food or water at one point. I had no idea. I was still warped a few wks after stopping them. I kept telling my doctor I was getting weird ideas about shit and he'd just switch drugs randomly. My gf was certain I'd end up in western state. Luckily I checked back in and Iv been fine since then. Got a lot of wild stories at work from that time period. Shit was NOT for me.

Xanax does the same thing to me. My memory is choppy when I take it. I think i am in control but it is an illusion of the drug, i am never in control on it.

It does take care of my anxiety though, very effective for that. Too effective.

I don't have any issues and I am a happy person. But years ago I went through bad anxiety and was put on 10mg citalopram (celexa). It really helped me and I figured as I was using aas on/off I would be best just staying on it. Sometimes tren eq and mast can make me feel anxious so I figured it might just keep me above that line. Although I have often felt I don't really need it so nearly come off it many times. The fact the withdrawal is suppose to be so bad added to the fact it gives me no bad side effects meant I just stayed on.

Weirdly I had a massive panic attack a few months ago but I believe that was due to having extremely high prolactin levels. It was my first panic attack in... must be about 5 years. I may finally try and come off citalopram and see how I am. I will say it can make you not care in many ways. I am already a laid back person and this only adds to that. Tren definitely has that effect too. In fact I decided last night I am not gonna bother using tren again. I have been fine but noticed some anxious thoughts whilst on tren/mast this time round. I sometimes get a weird reaction post inject (tightening of throat etc) and well tren is simply not good for you at all. I would rather use things like test, primo, mast etc in the long run. I also don't like the fact I always have to make sure I have my 10mg citalopram whenever I travel etc.

Yeah it's actually life threatening to randomly come off it I learned the hard way. Those without a history of seizure become at high risk for them. I take it strictly for mood stabilization 250mg x2 daily. It's not well known for mood disorders but as a last resort my Dr. and I tried it and sides aside it's working for me. Experienced same sides you mention though absolutely plus anger issues. I was intolerable. Also poor decision making like jaywalking a busy intersection at rush hour and getting hit by a truck breaking my legs. Just got back on my feet from that actually.

The real killer is I had landed the best job of my life for Kelloggs making six figures as a machine operator and loved it. LOVED IT! The 12 hour days 7 days a week month after month made it hard to control my issues and I was suspended pending termination. They paid for my therapy for a time but I wasn't fully protected by the union and I'll never be asked back. It's broke my heart. I can't hold a job more than a few months but I refuse to go on disability

Hang in there man.....if you walk around on a day to day basis and see a lot of people that look completely normal....if you got to know some of these normal looking people better...you would realize that a lot of them are actually bat-shit crazy. Whatever issues you have going on....you are far from being alone.

 

[Samson250]

Lol....brother...

Sounds about right lol

Glad you came back man seriously

 

[BEASTZ6]

I was diagnoses with anxiety disorder in 1995. I lasted two weeks on Paxil and stopped because it only increased my anxiety. Switched to Zoloft and stopped after 2 days due to feeling like shit. Then switched to Effexor at 150 mg/day, and it worked really well. Still taking Effexor, and have tried numerous times to wean off, but the sides were completely debilitating. So I am still taking Effexor.

This is solid advice and illuminating. I know i am undiagnosed for alot of stuff. I fear the stigma of the diagnosis that comes with it. I just keep my madness to myself and wear the mask when I am out in public. Like you Samson, stability is a success for me. I have often described my life as I am flying a crashing plane, i am putting all my strength into keep that thing from nose diving.

Although, sometimes if done wisely, it is best to crash. Or in a different metaphor. A broken vase, but cracks are how the light gets in. Stop trying to glue all the broken pieces because after awhile. It just don't work no more and a shattering is necessary - so that a new vase is formed (with no cracks)

This is why I hope medical cannabis will eventually get approved in all 50 states. Go to see a doctor for anxiety or depression and he will write a script for an SSRI which might help you, or it might make you want to jump head first off a tall building. Use cannabis and it may help your problems....but even if it doesn't the worst thing you will do is sit on the couch all night, eat a large pizza and a bag of chips, watch some TV and then go to bed.

If the cannabis helps that's great, I like it myself periodically, but eating crap and sleeping isn't the only potential side effect. There are plenty of people who get bad anxiety from it and there are people who were long-term habitual users who had to give it up due to starting to get bad anxiety and paranoia every time they used it.
Depersonalization and derealization is not uncommon even after stopping use.
Like even new-agey Dorian Yates said, "the plant has a spirit and you shouln't let it take over, use it with specific intent"

I'm against classifying anything as an evil or a totally innocuous drug. "It depends"
I don't particularly like that I feel the need to use an antidepressant but I simply can't function with panic attacks.

Okay?

 

[Elvia1023]

Okay?

You did ask for insane people

 

[Jacky McSwole]

Okay?

I think your problem is you need more drugs. I duh know i guess i just know when to stop. I still keep a job, house, cars, gf, etc etc. no one would suspect the things i do.

 

[Phattony]

Well, now that you know, slowly taper off whatever you're taking and do NOT touch any of this crap again in your entire life.

These are VERY, VERY evil substances.

We can agree on this...
