I took effexor XR for a while recently and it turned me into an impulsive maniac, seems kinda dangerous

I've been sort of the opposite of an impulsive maniac, so I could probably use some more of that in my life.

Yeah not all of the antidepressants I've tried helped and one made things worse, but the nothing I was doing about it before wasn't helping. I feel better now so if all I'm getting is a placebo effect then I guess I'm ok with that.

lol there is/was (dunno if it's over) a massive lawsuit against the manufacturer of seroquel because it's a fairly heavy-duty anti-psychotic and the reps were telling doctors it was good for loving everything

i was prescribed it as a sleep aid at one point

I've been prescribed it for sleep, depression, and psychosis, and you know what it worked drat well for all three things at the appropriate doses.

But yeah it is also practically poison as well. But don't try to pull that argument if they think you're psychotic, because thinking the medication is poison is one of the symptoms. Oh irony...

Adderall's the only thing that's ever worked for me. Part of the reason is that my ADHD symptoms are more or less the direct cause of my depression. I feel happy if I don't feel like a lazy unfocused piece of poo poo.

they're not bad. i used anti-depressants for awhile and they helped me get my mental state together. i still have depression but it's easy to cope with and i don't require medication to deal with it.

My doctor wants me to switch from citalopram to escitalopram. Is it really any better?

Escitalopram is the S-enantiomer of citalopram, meaning that its chemical structure is a mirror image of the other. The thing about chirality is that chemicals can behave differently even if they're just mirrored structures. Despite this, citalopram was sold as the generic form of escitalopram until the latter's copyright or whatever ran out in 2012. For what it's worth, I've been on both and the S form works better for me. I had wished it didn't for a while because that poo poo was expensive at the time, but thankfully it can be sold as a generic.

All y'all motherfuckers saying depression is fake, kill yourselves. I've been studying it for years and it is really complex, the neurophysiology of it. Neuroendocrine, immunological, morphological, even superficially unrelated metabolic factors weigh in.

cognitive behavioral therapy owns. you should try it some time and be free of depression meds. hth. unless you have some severely treatment resistant form of depression. if so, just take your meds and do CBT. you'll be better for it either way.

how did you deal with the memory loss, my dad had some ECT in the 90s and he was really upset about the memory loss part

also, do you have a bipolar diagnosis? asking because of the lithium

oh hey, someone responded to that list

no bipolar, I don't quite remember why we started the lithium. 2013 was when they started throwing everything at the wall. I only really remember finishing a beer about 5 minutes before taking my afternoon lithium, and then barfing in my psychologist's office about 20 minutes later.

The memory loss was really confined to the month of the treatments. I had to ask my mom if we had gone to see something or if I had just seen a preview of it. I don't feel like my memory has changed from the way it was before, but I got to enjoy watching How To Train Your Dragon 2 for the first time two times.

E: Oh, and Adderall was in there too for a while, to see if a stimulant would help. It didn't.

Venlafaxine, bupropion, lamictal, regular therapy and plenty of human interaction. Used to just drink a fifth of whiskey or w/e every day, but naltrexone made me chemically unable to enjoy alcohol, so I guess I'm sober. I find hanging out with people you like and doing interesting things is the best antidepressant. My meds are to get me to a state where I can do that. It's pretty cool when it works.

One time when I was in middle school, this dude told me to snort his abilify, and that it would get me high. I did, and after the burning in my nose subsided, I fell asleep in class, and the teacher freaked out because she couldn't wake me up for like, a minute. The kid was also in my class and freaked the gently caress out because he thought he had killed me.
