Another random curiosity thread! What kinds of meds are the citizens of HDC on?

Posher takes:

-Zoloft for anxiety.
-Centrum for everything.
-Lysine for cold sores.
-A jellybean for luck.


How about you addicts?

This week I will start on a low dose of Abilify . It's an anti-psychotic.

Judging from my screaming at the top of my lungs with neighbors watching "FUCK YOU!! YOU MOTHERFUCKER!! FUCK YOU!!!" at my husband...I think it may be an asset at this point.

EDIT: Just took a scan of the info on Abilify...um, I think NOT.
I am also finding a new fucking shrink...what a dumbass.

[Phalanx]

I try not to take anything at any given time.
Due to this, my immune system has grown pretty strong, which is good in most cases, but sucks on the rare occasion I actually get sick...by the time somethings strong enough for me to pick it up, it can be pretty bad.
At the moment I've been sick for 2 weeks...have been given (although I hate to take them) 3 different courses of antibiotics...the latest being one that doesn't usualyl even get used. Seems to be doing the trick.

I usually prefer to ride out the symptoms and pop a standard cold and flu tablet here'n there, or some nasal decongestant IF neccessary.
I much prefer lemon/honey/ginger/chilli/pepper made into a drink while using eucalyptus spray on everything to disinfect - 9 out of 10 times this works.

Meds relating to mental disorders/chemical imbalance, none.
There were a few years in the early 90's when shit like dexamphetomines and ritalin was shoved down my throat by a parent who just didn't get me...which seemed pretty popular at the time.
I ended up not taking them, my sister ended up selling them to friends.
I never felt like myself, was tired all the time, and failed to see the point...even at the time, I saw myself potentially becoming chemically addicted to them, so I basically refused...I'm pretty much deadset against parents who choose medication over effort in all but a few cases.
If your child is psychotic and a danger to themselves and/or others, sure...maybe look at meds then...if not, it's just damaging.

I used to take sublingual Vit.B12 for years and it just didn't work , not once.

How does the Lamotrigine work?
Is it a beta blocker?


I have a very weird metabolism.
Anything that works for the masses, is garrunteed to not work for me.
I went searching last night for something that sounded up my alley and nothing looked good...if the the first side effect is headache...I can cross that one off cause I get migraines at the drop of a hat.
I think maybe I'll go for some holistic stuff next though.


I have been seriously considering going in for the tests to do Catalysis.
And of course your average everyday colonic and a 2 week colon cleanse.

Yeah I have never been a fan of medication. I used to dump bottles of cough syrup down the drain because they made me feel dizzy and my mom would get pissed. I just don't like the idea of having all that shit in my body. I don't have enough vitamins in my diet though, so I need to supplement them.

I also can't take antihistamines because they get me high, so I either suffer and am constantly itchy from allergies to detergents and pollen etc. or find another cure, which was vitamins and they work great.

[becky.horror]

Novakru - lamotrigine is actually an anti convulsent, as is clonazepam. Generally people with dysmorphic mood swings are put on anti- cons because they also stabilize moods, often more effectively than say lithium. My Bipolar is type 2 which is rapid cycling of moods often in one day, hyper and agitated one min then severly depressed the next. These moods often occur up to 4-6 times a day unless im medicated. Had it since I was 12.
Meds probably dont work on you like other people (and im exactly the same) for 2 possible reasons.
1. If you are bipolar then your serotonin and noradrenaline levels will be erratic, and at times very low so your levels of dopamine are not released in enough quantity for you to have reactions.
2. Apparantly your brain can also have a high metabolism so it processes drugs alot faster than others.

Sorry bout spelling, hope ive helped

[Doc Faustus]

My bipolar's rapid cycling as well. Sometimes I say awful things, but if I know I'm going to have a bad day, I'm usually ready for it.

I should probably take Vitamin D... Or just more Vitamins in general. Do you find they help you? Do you feel a difference?

And in terms of melatonin... The other psycho-meds stuff already gave me really vivid nightmares, so it's hard to tell if it's from them or the melatonin. :o

Sucks to hear that that's how they affect you - vivid dreams can seriously be exhausting.


And to Novakru i was on Abilify about 2yrs ago when it 1st came out. Ment to be very useful in bipolars but unfortinatly didnt work 4 me.


Abilify made me lose my vision (literally and I am not exaggerating) and I couldn't... well, it's hard to explain... I couldn't function. This was four years ago. I find it abhorrent and unethical that they advertise it on TV.

Yeah abilify made it impossible to sit still or lie down, i also had constant restless legs, pretty horrid but it does work 4 some and it doesnt put on any weight like other anti-psychs.
In UK companies are not allowed to advertise anything pharmacutical by presription anywhere, very strict. So you only here about it through reading up on meds or talking to your doc. I think its awful that those sort of mind altering drugs can be advertised so easily, may as well advertise pot or acid!!

Doc Faustus - interesting to hear from another rapid cycler, and im a complete bitch when not medicated, fortunatly the meds keep it under control but been bad recently so probably gona try electric shock therapy. After that ive exgausted every other avenue! :)

[newb]

holy shit....you people are all fucking loony.I think doctors today are way too quick to prescribe meds.

[bloodrayne]

I think doctors today are way too quick to prescribe meds.
Today? I've been saying this for 20 years.

The only chemicals I put in my body (or my kids' bodies) are the preservatives in our foods :p

We've all had minimal antibiotics, as a result we have incredibly strong immune systems.

I'll take Advil for migraines, and give the kids Tylenol for a fever (which is rare), but that's it.

Maybe it has something to do with when we grew up, Newb...It seems that everyone started becoming 'imbalanced' about 20 years ago when all of these medications became popular...No one took these things when we were kids...Now everyone has some sort of mental problem?...Just seems odd to me.

I agree - I think that doctors are unethically quick to prescribe medication (especially to kids and teenagers) instead of helping them work through issues. And I think that parents are too damn lazy to seek out other options.

But speaking from pure, personal experience, the meds I am on have helped me, personally, more than I can express. I think that they're right for me right now. Not for the rest of my life, maybe, but right now there is a HUGE improvement over last year.

Not for everyone and I certainly don't advocate for it... But for me, the improvement is so clear.

[Vodstok]

I agree - I think that doctors are unethically quick to prescribe medication (especially to kids and teenagers) instead of helping them work through issues.
we ran into somethign similar recently, and there is more to this type of dr behavior. they get kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies for pushing their product. Lily has been coughing at night since the spring, so we finally had insurance and got her in for a checkup.

Dr said "Allergies, definitely" and prescribed nasonex. We foundout after a week of giving it to Lily that one of the (possible) side effects is stunted growth, because its a steroid, so needless to say, we freaked out and stopped it immediately 9although it did improve the coughing). So bree called the dr and told her, and the dcotor "I dont believe that, keep her on it". At bree's insistance, we got a referral to an allergy specialist. they did bloodwork, and guess what?


Nasonex wasnt going to do much, because Lily has NO allergies. Hmmm.... The first doctor wasnt even willing to consider other possibilities (and she was highly recommended too, which sucks) she just kept pushing one particular drug...

[ferretchucker]

I don't take anything routinely. I had to have a bottle of medicine to sort out my ears for diving. I got an infection and considering it was a week before I went up in a plane, down in a plane and under water constantly, it was for the best. My grandmother is a distributor for a company called Neways. They are famous for being probably the healthiest stuff in the world. You probably don't believe me, but they are. Check the out, they're worldwide. Can't be bought in shops.

They have things like Cod Liver Oil capsules, but with none of the added heavy metals.
They sell stuff called Noni juice. All natural. ALL.
I used to have very bad excema, but since I use their bathing stuff, i haven't had it for years.

I don't take the tablets anymore, just because I'm lazy and I forget. I use their toiletries though, because they're there and they work.

But anyway, back to the point at hand - GO ON VOD. This is good. Really good.

Yeah, I really do notice a difference in my mood when I take vitamin D. When I don't take it I literally lay in bed all day and don't want to get up because A) it's cold outside of my blankets and B) I feel like there is no point getting up when my day is going to suck anyway. So I take vitamin D in the morning and part way through the day.

Another vitamin that I really notice a difference with is omega-3. I feel less anxious and my attention span is increased 10 fold. Makes lectures infinitely easier.

Getting a virus early in the season will do your little red and white cell army a world of good.
You are lucky enough to build RESISTANCE.
Build up the wall to fight the REALLY bad shit coming down the road.
Don't be so quick to grab the antibiotics.
You will get better with rest and lots of water....even if it takes 2 weeks of being home- better than the common cold killing you in 10 years, eh?

And in this situation, antibiotics will make not one bit of difference to the outcome. They do nothing against viruses.

Problem is, people tend to demand a pill when they visit a doctor, otherwise they haven't gotten their money's worth. When people go to a doctor, and he says "It's just a virus, take some paracetamol for the fever, keep the fluids up, etc" people feel cheated. So doctors prescribe antibiotics. And people get better. Which they would have anyway, had they taken nothing. But this reinforces the "need" for antibiotics next time. So the cycle continues....

[becky.horror]

I do actually agree with the whole over medicating thing 'mothers little helper', but there have been many manic depressives and scizos for hundreds of years, usually they either wouldnt survive or were locked away.

Secondly its only in the last 30yrs that we have begun to understand psychology, nature and nurture, and distinguishing the actions of different chemicals in the brain, hence more people being diagnosed and medicated. Not to mention that 100yrs ago poorer people didnt live past 45-50yrs, so we ve got an increased population as well.

I myself started getting ill when i was 3yrs old (nothing to do with my parents!), no one could understand it until i became very severe at the age of 12. Theres always the genetic arguement as well as my grandfather killed himself due to the same illness - he wasnt medicated.

Since then ive had 7 different psychiatrists, 9 different types of different psychologists and different therapists etc. There are people out there who desperatly need meds, and there are those that just need an excuse for being a bit down, or their kids thick therefore they must have ADAH.

I welcome any suggestions that would help me rid myself of my 25yrs of mental illness!:)

Oh when will the madness end!!

Internets made it worse, people are self prescribing themselves some seriously strong drugs that are often addictive. Its turning into The Brave New World.:)

[GorePhobia]

I am not on anything right now but when my back acts up badly and I have the extra money I try and get some percacets or pain killers for the pain but Christmas + Bad Economy + Bad Job Market = continual back pain.

Just gotta deal.

[chaibill]

Posher anxiety i think it it just called high school you should get your self off that as fast as possible. try seeing a Chiropractor thats what i do.

no drugs occasional beer or spirit or wine

[bloody_ribcut]

beer and weed, great pleasure.

[Spallalala]

When im flu/cold sick I usually deal with it at home, ginger, lemon, honey, garlic, and lotsa good stuff. Cheebs usually makes me a crazy drink that would knock anything outta ya haha. I hate antibiotics. I don't even like the dr's ha. But if im really sick I will get some antibiotics into me just to help it along. I usually don't have to bother just as long as cheebs isn't sick then im good, if he gets sick then my colds and stuff last heaps longer cos he gives it back to me 10x worse.

For travel sickness I have some ginger tablets.

Anxiety and depression, I refuse to take any more meds for this sorta shit, they help of course but they also cost too much considering you gotta take em for long periods of time and theres the whole addiction thing too. So for me I have some breathing techniques ( which help me slow me heart rate down too) and weed haha. I find weed to be the best medication of anything I have tried. It keeps me calm, makes me get off my ass and do some cleaning to haha. Hasn't made my depression or anxiety worse. If anything its made it heaps better.

For my back pain which I get often its usually laying down and some advil and weed.

I love it as natural and I can get it basically.

[Psycom5k]

WEED


and uhhh.... buproprion and ultram er.

[becky.horror]

Yes despite being on a shit load of meds for my 'mental illness' (i find it amusing when its called that) weed has been a long standing and extremely effective illegal med. Unfortunatly in UK (dont know bout elsewhere) they have now genetically enhanced and cross bred so much so that we have trouble getting anything but skunk which is about 60% stronger (and not natural) than normal weed. It causes cannibis psychosis and has given pot a bad name, so i stick to decent normal weed.:)

[TwiZted6MurDer6SceNe6]

I simply agree.

[hacelikewhoa]

I think weed is trashy IMO. It's disgusting to see that just about everyone in ohio does drugs except for me and my boyfriend. EVERYONE in my family does it, ALL OF MY FRIENDS DO, everyone I went to school with...yuck. It's turned everyone I've known into an idiot and a loser. They don't have lives, they just get high. It stinks, it tastes gross, it makes you stupid, apathetic.. I used to do it until I realized that I was hurting someone and I never did it again, and I'm glad. With the economy being bad and people losing jobs, I think this is a terrible time for people to be stoned. What if you lose your job? Just about every job now a days makes you take a drug test. At least around here.

I gotta question for you... Do you drink? Cos if you do then you have no right to make comments on weed. Doesn't matter how you look at it drinking produces far worse results.

Don't think that all other stoners are like your friends/family. Some people can actually get of their ass and do something. If you moderate you don't turn into an idiot or a lifeless loser.
Im guessing your friends are cigarette smokers too right? no wonder they stink.

Economy has nothing to do with it.

Honestly to me you sound like a pretty biased person. You compare your own experiences and convince yourself that everyone is the same.

I think weed is trashy IMO. It's disgusting to see that just about everyone in ohio does drugs except for me and my boyfriend. EVERYONE in my family does it, ALL OF MY FRIENDS DO, everyone I went to school with...yuck. It's turned everyone I've known into an idiot and a loser. They don't have lives, they just get high. It stinks, it tastes gross, it makes you stupid, apathetic.. I used to do it until I realized that I was hurting someone and I never did it again, and I'm glad. With the economy being bad and people losing jobs, I think this is a terrible time for people to be stoned. What if you lose your job? Just about every job now a days makes you take a drug test. At least around here.

maybe everyone you know that smokes is just some lazy piece of shit. just because people smoke pot doesn't mean their a loser, or 'stupid'. i smoke pot daily, i have a good job, and i am still capable of doing things. i have an apt. bills i pay for, pets i take care of, i graduated school. i have a life. and all my friends who smoke pot have lives.
people like you piss me off. dont be so judgemental. there are alot worse drugs out there then pot.

[ChronoGrl]

The issue I find with pot isn't in the drug itself, it's the use. If people are capable of using it responsibly (i.e. little bit every once in a while to have a nice high), then I have no problem with people doing it. If people choose to use it in excess in a way that it affects their jobs, lives, and loved ones, well it's not the drug that's the problem, it's the person. And if that person is incapable of enjoying weed in a responsible way, then maybe it's time that that person stop.

Just like drinking or any other substance, it's about doing it responsibly, not cutting it off entirely.

[urgeok2]

personally - and i'm not sure why - the idea of getting high or drunk - even slightly - is a big turn off for me..

if i want to relax - i just relax....

i enjoy certain drinks and will have a few a year .. i just dont like not feeling myself. this has become more acute in the last 10 years or so.


maybe its a control thing - i dunno..

but - as mentioned above - anything in excess is bad .. absolutely anything at all.

the key to a successful life is balance.

everything is about balance.

[missmacabre]

WoW :o

I spend almost as much time in Azeroth as I do in the real world most weekends.

haha yess. Realm please? horde or alliance.

[becky.horror]

To Hacelikewhoe; I have to say i simply find your remarks uneducated and remarkably simple.

People use drugs for a number of reasons, to say their all lazy and taking a way out is a very strange suggestion. I thought we d got over that after Freud, clearly not. People whether they have problems or not will always look for a mental escape, be it through movies, music, sport or anything that releases a sufficiant amount of dopamine, even smoking. We are just whore mongers waiting for our next hit, be it shopping, music, films, sport, education whatever. Our bodies produce the exact same biological result. That is a dramatic increase of dopamine in our frontal lobs, causing an excess of desire for sex, violence etc.
Just simple yet still understood biology of the brain. We still only understand and convey 16% of our brain matter. That leaves a hell of alot of room to investigate. Certainly beyond any of our capacities, educational or otherwise.

[Phalanx]

I think weed is trashy IMO.
I find any kind've overendulgence in an illicit substance pretty trashy...but yeah it does seem like you're specifically targeting those that use weed as a preferred substance - not all of them are as you've described, in fact, these sound like the kind of people normal recreational weed users probably wouldn't want around either.
If you've used your own experience to dictate how you behave and conduct yourself, that's all good, but making statements like you just have is kind of like saying that every person that drinks habitually is a lowlife, drink driving, irresponsible piece of shit - I don't drink too much myself, but I know enough to acknowledge that there's a line that some cross, and some do not.



Just like drinking or any other substance, it's about doing it responsibly, not cutting it off entirely.
Absolutely...it's those that don't, that give a relatively harmless substance a worse name, by misrepresenting themselves like that.
Everything can become a gateway drug, but you make the path that leads up to it, or away from it.
Just a matter of moderation, if you can do these things while maintaining some kind of productivity in life, and you're not hurting yourself or any around you, then it's all good...if you can't, then you shouldn't.

[hacelikewhoa]

LOLZ

oohhh so defensive. Get mad at me because I do not approve of an illegal substance that may not be as destructive as others, but still a drug nonetheless. I still see it as a problem more so than a rad recreation or means of leisure. Weed may not be as dirty or dangerous as other drugs but still leads people down that path of exploration.
Q:"omg are you saying that all people that smoke weed are going to do other drugs!?"
A:No but it CAN lead people down that path. What do you do when your area is dry and there is no weed? hmm...Find something else maybe?
Did I say that people that smoke weed are trashy? Though a lot of people I know are... No, I said that IMO the drug itself, I find trashy.

I have a question for all of you Marijuana advocates:

Why did you start smoking it? And why not find use of another legal substance that has the same effects? Is it that awesome to break the law and get pissed when people don't see it as being right? OMG that makes me such a biased asshole right? Because I am not seeing the perks of breaking the law and having a "good time" on a daily basis? haha this is funny.

oh btw

Spallalala- alcohol is legal and you cannot deny that weed stinks like ass. Or maybe you are used to the stench? How do you think people get busted for it 90% of the time? The smell? Red eyes? Tiredness?

amc420vt- It is still an illegal drug which I find indefinitely repulsive. I didn't say that everyone that does it is.

becky.horror- I'm uneducated because I think weed is gross? I don't care wtf people do to deal with their problems and you didn't need to write me a mini novel about why people do drugs. I really don't care why they do it.

woodoo why the hell are we arguing about pot?

http://media.southparkstudios.com/media/images/508/img_02.gif

anyways thank you for the entertainment it really made my night :D

[Phalanx]

I don't really want to try and make the situation worse, but I'll say what I've got to, and nb: I'll try not to come across as condescending or insulting about it...

Get mad at me because I do not approve of an illegal substance that may not be as destructive as others, but still a drug nonetheless.
I don't think anyone's really mad at you...I've seen you called biased a few times, I've seen some people come in and say that from a first person perspective they disagree with you, and I've seen some people say that you seem to be going largely off what you've personally experienced through friends...again, I don't think anyone's mad at you...that said, it's a natural response to disagree with someone who is saying things that are incorrect when you know it's not factual, or if there's a different perspective, you will hear it, no?
Re - the legal issue, in all honesty it's not really a leg to stand on, I've been down this path too many times to again...just to make a short point - the reasons it's classed as illegal are pretty stupid if you look into them, and furthermore comparative repercussions of this substance vs others, always shine favourably.
That I use it doesn't mean I don't respect the law...in all other cases I do just that, only cannot get behind this particular prohibition.

Did I say that people that smoke weed are trashy? Though a lot of people I know are... No, I said that IMO the drug itself, I find trashy.
That's kind of like saying "the glass is trashy" "the chair is trashy", no? Because without the interaction of people, that's all it is, an inanimate object...it's not like it's fluro green or wearing flares...?
So, look I get that you might not have said that directly, but I'm sure you can see why people might've at very least assumed it was a reference towards them.

I still see it as a problem more so than a rad recreation or means of leisure. Weed may not be as dirty or dangerous as other drugs but still leads people down that path of exploration.
Again, two things that are legal are far bigger "gateway" drugs in my experience...I mean, again I'm falling back to the "weed vs" thing, but I think in this particular point is where it stands to the most reason.
Shit, drinking a soda is a gateway drug - people that call weed that, just don't like weed, or cannot moderate themselves hence judging everyone by their own experiences.

No but it CAN lead people down that path. What do you do when your area is dry and there is no weed? hmm...Find something else maybe?
This again sounds like a "your friends" thing.
My answer is, I go without until next time...I'm not into substance substitution, in fact most folks I know that have had weed aside from a few fuckwits, are pretty much against taking it any further than that.

alcohol is legal and you cannot deny that weed stinks like ass. Or maybe you are used to the stench? How do you think people get busted for it 90% of the time? The smell? Red eyes? Tiredness?
Alcohol is legal, where weed is not on account of some (again should you care to look into it) pretty silly reasons.
The smell, well we vapourise so that's largely eradicated. It stinks if you're mixing with tobacco (most do, we don't), or if you're a lazy shit that has dirty bongs and pipes lying allover the place, multiple people using your place as a weed joint, again, all something that's within the control of the user to handle.
Burning weed, smells...but I can't personally say that a pure green joint burning is that bad a smell at all, hell I prefer it waaay more than the smell of someone lighting up a taylor made cigarette anywhere near me.
Getting busted - have never been.
Red eyes, manageable.
Tiredness, over indulgence.
People that get stupid, get busted...those ones that you're not drawing a line between themselves and people like myself...the "problem" smokers, the people that do it all day, the people that make it their life, hang in groups and think it's a good idea to hang sbout smoking with multiple people to the point it's completely obvious. People that do nothing but talk about weed.
Again, these people, are like our "alcoholics". There is a difference.

I'm uneducated because I think weed is gross? I don't care wtf people do to deal with their problems and you didn't need to write me a mini novel about why people do drugs. I really don't care why they do it.
Yeah, I'd have not really went with "uneducated" as you at least know partially what you're talking about - but you are very biased, which borders more on general ignorance. Not trying to be insulting there, but your experience is just that. Yours.

Why did you start smoking it? And why not find use of another legal substance that has the same effects?
I started as a teen, getting high with friends...it was there, and I didn't perceive it as too dangerous, as it turned out that was correct in my case. Never really did it "all the time" never really got into it.
I'm a more regular user now.
Why?
It relaxes me, it gives me great healthier sleep (and no, I don't oversleep), in times past it's stimulated my creativity greatly and I've come up with some very good recipes and ideas while under the influence...this is of course as it does change your perception and the way you see things a little.
Also, I find it can actually help you focus on various tasks too.

Why not find a legal equivalent?
So the closest most people will see, ignoring suggestions of some kind've chemical substitute, would be alcohol.
I've been arrested and have had multiple problems with this substance in the past...has made me do/consider way many more stupid things than weed ever has, that could be just me, but from my outside "perspective" on drinkers I sincerely doubt it's only me, and doubt that "me on alcohol" was anything other than the tip of the iceberg for this.
Besides, I don't really think anything I've tried DOES have the same effect...it's a mellow effect which is not overwhelming - I can't say this in the case of most other things I've ever encountered.

Anyways, not going for argument, just providing information you've missed - If you're going to come back at me with nothing but attitude, don't. I haven't attacked you and expect the same.

I just love that I'm "ignorant" because I do not like or approve of weed. That's really smart. Weed must be the new jesus. If I'm athiest will you call me ignorant? Or uneducated? Oh my gosh I'm so horrible and dumb because I don't like to get high. I'm done here. Tried to voice my opinion and every body tried to jump on me for it.
Phalanx, I appreciate you trying to debate rather than insult.
Weed must be the new pro life vs pro choice battle or something.
I just didn't know that many people felt so strongly that weed was a good thing. It's really not that big of a deal to bicker so much about.

because women are inherently fun to look at, glasses are hot, and when a woman is into geeky shit they are almost always into other weird stuff, which can only be good for whatever man is with them.


Guy nerds are just dirty socially inept retards who (in some cases) think they are better than others because they know the Thac0 of a red dragon in the 2nd Edition monstrous compendium.


For the record, i dont. And my wife is hot. Even in her glasses.

[Despare]

Weed smells like body odor... some sweet putrid smell that makes me look around wondering if the person who just stumbled in with bleary red eyes just smoked a bowl or forgot their speed stick.

i always found the classic guy nerds to be bitter ... mean spirited .. like the world owes them something.

that being said - i never picked on them ... as a matter of fact i ostricized myself from the 'cool kids' in highschool for refusing to bully one in my class... made sure he wasnt bullied by them too.

didnt like him - but i hate pack mentality

[ChronoGrl]

i always found the classic guy nerds to be bitter ... mean spirited .. like the world owes them something.

SO TRUE. I always liked the concept of them, but I dated two very very angry and bitter ones in my past. I was very disappointed.

And they said I needed medical attention! ;)

[ferretchucker]

Even though she said the case is closed, I've been watching this argument and feel I want to put my opinion across.


Firstly, Hace, they're not calling you ignorant for not liking weed or smoking it, that's your choice and they couldn't care less. It's the way you are not open to all of the facts and you haven't even thought about the other side of the argument.

As for me, I haven't had much to do with weed, but I do know a few things that apply to me.

Pro

- I prefer the smell to tobacco smoke or a drunk guys breath.
- It does bad things to people sometimes, but as stated, the two main legal ones tend to do worse. All of the drunk drivers, the domestic violence caused by alcohol.
- I know way more people who are addicted to legal tobacco cigarettes. Think of all of the deaths caused by them.

Cons

-The law is the law, no matter how silly it may be sometimes. And each law should apply to all, otherwise it shouldn't be a law. By this, I mean, if they enforce it on one person, it should happen to all others who break it. That's why they should choose the laws carefully. I'd rather have weed legal and tobacco not, but at the moment, that isn't the case, and so the current law should be followed.
- Putting any smoke into your body isn't exactly healthy, and weed has some nasty side effects.
- It can lead to other bad drugs.
- It isn't cheap, and addiction can, in extreme cases, lead to people resorting to other means.

[becky.horror]

Ahh and the weed debate continues!
Will it ever end?
Noboby Knows.
Either way im going to have a spliff and watch Untraceable now; some killing game on the internet film, seen it before but cant remember it . . . . probably because im a lazy smoker!!:)

And I am having maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaajor withdraaaaaaaaaaaaaaawal.

Today is Day 3 off it and I'm getting bouts of mania and nausea. Dizziness.

It's AWESOME.

Kids: Don't take meds lightly.




NOTE: Chrono is just weary and COMPLAINING. Do NOT take this as an opportunity to lecture against meds. Not what I need right now at all. Withdrawal was expected and anticipated, but still sucky.

So I've been reading up on Cymbalta withdrawal (mainly perusing forums and reading posts where people describe their experiences). I think that someone actually described what's getting to me the most pretty well:

"zaps"--a sort of audio hallucination, not sure what to call this strange symptom that feels like short electrical pulses, and an internal "sound" like a nanosecond buzz.

For me it's not as audible as it is like a pulse of dizziness that completely snaps me away from whatever it is I'm doing/thinking/etc.

It's actually kinda comforting to read someone going through or has gone through the same thing... I feel crazy trying to describe to someone that sometimes when I blink or move my eyes rapidly I get this pulse... It's subtle but jarring when it happens often enough in the day.

Also dizziness, headaches, alternating hunger and nausea, and sensitivity to light... Awesome. For some people it took up to a week or so to get it completely of of their system.

This sucks.

Even though I do not regret going off of Cymbalta in the slightest, I REALLY wish that my doctor had warned me of what withdrawal would be like and how long it would take for the drug to get the HELL out of my system. I woke up this morning and was just... dismayed that the symptoms were still here. I fell asleep last night assuming that they'd be better when I get up. No such luck.

I am now completing Day 4.

On a positive note: The side effects of the Welbutrin started to kick in this morning: horniness. And the boyfriend was at work. Well, sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do... :D

For the record, i dont. And my wife is hot. Even in her glasses.

I don't know the THACO of a red dragon in any edition, I know what THACO means... in my circle that would be damning enough. I know many other things that would be considered geeky though...

I call all the characters from X-men by their first names naturally and almost exclusively.

I can probably indentify any Buffy episode by name from the first 6 seasons by name with less then 30 seconds footage.

I *used* to be able to name every single Angel from Evangelion in order of appearance from Sachiel right through to the 13th.

Of course I don't think I am better then anyone due to that, just making a point that I would most likely would be considered a nerd in most situations.

As guys, those sort of interests are seldom of shared by the opposite sex, which means that male nerds are then percieved as less attractive vs Female because hell who WOULDN'T want a girl interested in fantasy, Sci-Fi, comics and Video Games and what not they are a smaller section of a male dominated demographic.

That is yes, females are just easier on the eyes :P


Also...

i always found the classic guy nerds to be bitter ... mean spirited .. like the world owes them something.


I've noticed that, I think it's a sense of resentment that romantically their intellect carries very little weight. I can relate to this in part, though I certainly wouldn't dwell on it. Some of these guys feel gipped, like no one can see what they have to offer because their interests are intellectual or creatively based and feel like if they just played football they'd get more attention.

Which really is just bullshit.

The fact is most of them are weak. They don't have the sense of self and strength of character ti just get on with it, to liek what they like and ignore any jaded feelings beacuase that hasn't made them the centre of attention but rather has made them an outcast.

Like I said in the beginning, most people would say I am a nerd... though I did play football (rugby) in high school... mainly to get ass, but that I don't believe has anything much to do with any attentions that I got rather that I am a bold aggressiveness kind of guy with confidance. Many of these steroeotypical "nerds" refuse to face that and brood instead.

I would weigh in on the "Weed" discussion, but must parties seem happy to let it be, and I think thats a good metaphor to leave it on. I didn't think anyone was specifically ignorant just intolerant of the fact that it's impossible to make judgements based on other peoples expierences. Each to their own providing they aren't hurting themselves or others eh?

Re: Chrono, doesn't sound like a barrel of proverbial monkeys there mate. I do hope they ease up for your soon. Though I doubt you or your boyfriend will complain if those new side effects continue along :p

I'm not "on" anything really. I sue things for entertainment and recreation when the occaison calls, I've probably used most things out there at one time or another. Also medical proffessionals have deemed that I'd be happier taking Zoloft... which as far as I can tell just makes it harder to concentrate so I brood less about shit ;)

Well, let me start my list...........

Paxil (For Severe depression and OCD) 6 years
Klonopin (For panic attacks and depression) 6 years
Toprol ( For my heart tachycardia) 6 years

Now that I am preggers I am on.......

Zantac 150mg (For ALL DAY morning sickness)
Prenatals (for the little sea monkey inside me)..........:D

[DeVuL]

Prozac and Lamictal and something for my insomnia (I forget, no, scratch that, I can't pronounce the name of it) I'm a depressed bipolar who can't sleep....

I'm waiting for my very own brad pitt to come outta no where and start fighting with me :D

LOL

Sweet, sweet google ad irony.

I'm ironically PSYCHED about this movie. It will most likely be awful, but cheesy horror in 3D - I AM THERE.

...

SO the withdrawal symptoms have abated (YAY!), HOWEVER, be it from Cymbalta Withdrawal or Welbutrin Introduction but my emotions are labile to a point of reducing me to a pathetic weepy teenager. Seriously - EVERY LITTLE THING is bringing me to tears. It. SUCKS.

SO

I'm officially OFF the Welbutrin for a while. Seroquel only. And multi-vitamins.

I didn't like Welbutrin but I only took it for a short period of time and only to try and quit smoking back in the day. I'm not big into drugs prescribed for psychological reasons (I could care less if you agree or not, just sharing my opinion, no lectures please) but I figured since I'm normally kind of a mean and sometimes angry person that trying to stop smoking without some sort of mood conditioner would be bad for other people. Anyway, it kind of zoned me out (drugs all react to me differently, NyQuil makes me twitchy and energetic sometimes and other times does nothing at all) so I stopped taking it pretty quickly.

Right now only vitamins. Too many pills make me craaazzzy. I used to take Wellbutrin for "happiness", Trazodone to relax, rx strength Motrin, and Skelaxin for sciatica pain, and Tri Nessa for birth control. SOMETHING in the cocktail was making me have mad mood swings, so I just dropped it all at once. Now I just take otc Motrin when needed for pain, and stretch for the sciatica. I stopped taking the bc pill again in September because it has too many cardiovascular risks. Honestly I'd rather use another type of bc, and have a slightly higher chance of getting pregnant than die from a blood clot because I took the pill.
After I had my c section I was on blood pressure meds and Vicodin for a while. I'm kind of lucky in a way that my baby was in the NICU for a month while that was going on because the entire time I was on those things I was so loopy. They made me dizzy and gave me a crazy case of cotton mouth.
