Just Rambling, Shootin the sh%&, and being paranoid

psych meds


ok..my rap sheet: Lamictal, Paxil, Xanax, Seroquel and Provigil/Nuvigil.


I can get really batshit crazy sometimes and have to go to the hospital for a day or two so that they can "stablize me". But this combo of meds has kept me out of the psych ward for about 2 years. :thumbsup:


PS- Of course Ive been using weed for about 13 years to help aleviate these symptoms. It takes care of my brain much better than psych meds. Next time I see my psychiatrist, Imma ask her about becoming a medical mj patient here.

 

Currently Ativan (tranq for anxiety, a benzo), Effexor (SNRI antidepressant), and low dose Abilify (anti-psychotic/stabilizer) for me. Seeing an actual shrink...never have before now. Feeling good. I actually finish the month with extra ativan, I don't seem to have a problem with it even with my addictive personality. Still yet to have a perfect diagnosis, but I still have many more appointments. Best of luck with the anxiety and/or depression! It's a bitch.


I think the anxiety never goes away for me, but is manageable. I have had three full blown panic attacks. My legs actually went out, I couldn't even make it to the bathroom. Crazy shit, thought I was dying 2 out of 3 times. Both times spent the night in the ER.


I would love to go pill free. I might try it sometime. I have tried zoloft, paxil, prozac before the effexor and xanax before the ativan (didn't like the xanax, which surprised me!).....and probly even more I am forgetting. Ritalin as a kid. Sometimes I say Ritalin just fucked me up....


Never been on a stabilizer before 2 weeks ago (abilify).....so far so good. Only on 5mgs currently.


Ah I love and hate big pharm at the same time. I wonder if I never took anything in the first place, would I still need everything?


Oh and I am a MMJ patient in CA.


Best of luck to you friends!

 

I wish i lived in a MMJ state, but i don't, and i can't move to one either... I've had anxiety disorder my whole adult life, and have taken just about everything. Luckily i haven't had an attack in a really long time, but i have xanax on hand just in case. I've taken paxil, zoloft, trazadone, xanax, fluoxetine, wellbutrin, and more i can't recall.


MJ used to bring out my anxiety, too, but it doesn't any longer. I don't know what changed, but i no longer get the rapid heart beat and shortness of breath like i used to.


Now i still take fluoxetine, but haven't had a xanax in like 6 months.


No worries, poopycheeks, i was paranoid too when i first started my grow...


Peace

Thanks alot guys, its always nice to know im not the only one. Its pretty weird but last night I started getting really really sick. I had a temp of 103, and a horrific headache/migraine since. I vomitted and havent been able to eat. I have been drinking lots of gatorade becuase that seems to be all I can consume. I cant smoke because it brings my fever up. This headaches is so bad. I think I have the flu and hopefully not the swine flu. Havent had another panic attack but though I was going to the both times I vomitted. Its preety weird to have that attack and now be sick as hell. I havent been this sick since peanut butter gave me salmanella. My back is just killing me also. Thanks for all the support I will be seeing a doctor if those panic attacks return. I think its my bitchy girlfriends fault I had those. I havent told her because it will just give her more reason to be a bitch.

 

...bottom line...


...Anxiety and panic attacks are part of the human response system to external/internal stimuli...for thousands of years it has help'd to insure longevity in the human species...


...Flight or fight...sound familiar...without anxiety...you probably would be under someone's wheel, or further back lunch for T. Rex...


...Don't let anxiety get the best of you...for it like all things...will pass...


...It is the "remembering" that it will pass part that gets really touchy for some...


...Be strong...and face it down...boys and girls...you will be better for it...and certainly less stress'd...


Your welcome...good daze ahead, ewe'll see...lol.
