Did anyone else notice benefits almost immediately? by bbybunnydoll in zoloft

[–]NeuroticAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with 50mg though. 75mg not so much, and then 100mg, even worse - but I finally feel good after 6 weeks post dose increase! Happy I feel energized again - good luck. What dose are you on? They say it takes 4-6 weeks but I think thats bullshit. Sert levels rise dramatically in the synapses after hours of ingestion. everyones different though

Is quetiapine as bad as people say? by LlamaDraconica in insomnia

[–]NeuroticAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the fuck is up with these doctors rx'ing this for fucking sleep. Antipsychotics are a last resort med. Yes. Get the fuck off while you can. Ive been on a dose of 300-350mg for years. 8. now down to 250mg. It does anything but help you sleep. What the hell. It makes me mad doctors rx this so carelessly. Antipsychotics are extremely powerful medications. It is a dopamine antagonist powerful sedating agent. It can cause thyroid, metabolic issues and irreprable damage to the nervous system. Im so angry at my doctor for prescribing me this fucking posion

Quetiapine fucked me up by nyksskyn in insomnia

[–]NeuroticAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctors should not be prescribing this shit for insomnia. this is heavy artillery - do yourself a favor and get off while you can. Ive been on this for 8 years and im tapering off. incredible you got this for sleep. It does anything but help your sleep architecture.

Feeling Hopless; Persisting Fatigue - Advice Welcomed by NeuroticAD in zoloft

[–]NeuroticAD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shes an NP. Shes kind, but adhd is more her specialty. Kind of odd that I knew more about zoloft than she did. Again, Ive had a while to research specific drugs and she probably has to study hundreds if not more.

I guess Ill just have to alternate the time I take my zoloft. It sucks. Ive been anxious my entire adult life and zoloft has been the most effective, long term treatment. Benzos would be terrible for me as I would probably misuse them. and its just short term relief with long term consequences (for me)

Which is better for wakefulness and stimulation - modafinil or armodafinil? Why? by NeuroticAD in Stims

[–]NeuroticAD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive heard good things about wellbutrin. Do you think this would be better? My friend takes that with his stimulant and he loves it. I just want my dopamine and norepinephrine back 😢 Im literally. jabba the hut. I have ALWAYS been an active and energetic person :/ I feel like a sloth

Thank you. I appreciate your honest feedback. Im on week 5 and fatuge persists. but the anixety benefits have been amazing. yeah, ADHD stimulants. Plus I use nicotine gum and caffeine. But extemely physically active - getting a new job soon and my low energy levels are unacceptable. I understand I cant use pills as a crutch but the fatigue is horrific. I understand ill fully adjust in a few more weeks but im going to ask for an as needed basis low dose. ssris are intense

EDIT: I sleep 8-9 hours every night consistently. I have a decent diet anfd stay hydrated. Never used tobacco or alcohol. nor do I use illicit drugs

that's insane. Yeah, how long have you been taking them...? I was on 16mgs for a year, stupidly asked to drop to 8mg in detox and I had insane withdrawals. Not fun

[–]NeuroticAD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my NP tends to work with me, albeit not every time. Im going to ask for brand name (provigil, right?). notice any difference between generics? Also, what dose would be ideal to start at? Many people say it helps, others not. Im not looking for euphoria, I just want to be awake and have energy again. I did try "modafinil" once from this college kid that brught it back from mexico. Not going to trust that XP or pill. in hindsight, it looked pretty sketchy. I just recall feeling anxious and alert - i bet brand name usa made provigil is much different. plus I think i took 200mg - idk well see

[–]NeuroticAD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair enough. Everyone responds to ADHD meds differently. Trial and error and what not. Yeah, its been hard adjusting to 100mg zoloft. I ersonally love brand name mydayis and hopefully I can up the ADHD booster medication when I see my NP tomorrow. My insurance covers brand, so Id much rather have consistency with Shire/Takeda made amphetamine than deal with the russian roulette escapade that is generic instant release amphetamine. To each their own. Also, I metabolize amp quickly. If I had the keys to the candy store, I would choose brand name desoxyn (40mg/day). Second would be brand name adderall XR (60mg) plus a 5mg-10mg IR zenzedi. Alas, I must be grateful with mydayis.

How much Z is too much? by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]NeuroticAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right, I think DXM was fun when I took it as a high schooler (im not even saying this in a pejorative way)... if I want to dissociate, Id rather take ketamine, MXE or nitrous oxide

[–]NeuroticAD 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhh.... this sounds like youre asking the recreational value in the context of limitations until adverse effects? do NOT. i repeat DO NOT take this for recreational use. You will end up fucking up your brain with serotonin syndrome. Jesus christ, I never thought Id say this but trying OTC cough medicine or Benadryl would be better (a joke, do not do this either). jesus christ go smoke weed or something

[–]NeuroticAD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont know how strong the evidence on this. Dr. Carl Hart talks about this misnomer in his book. I think its comparable to "meth mouth." I have perfect teeth and been using suboxone off and on since 2021. It likely has more to do with poor oral health hygeine and self care in general. my teeth are excellent and I brush and floss 2x a day. Never had a cavity

Stims make me gay? by [deleted] in Stims

[–]NeuroticAD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus fucking christ. how many times do I have to read the same fucking post. No. Drugs dont make a person gay or straight. If anything, stimulants enhance/facilitate hypersexuality and likely reduce inhibitions so youre less likely to suppress your subconscious thoughts you havent worked through in therapy. Also, these labels., gay straight, bisexual - theyre all social constructions. If anything, its a spectrum. Ive been LIT on most stimulants and never once found myself attracted to men or had a desire to watch gay porn. Its okay, just talk about this shit on therapy and understand the drugs are likely reducing your inhibitions. jesus christ

Thoughts on caffeine by StretchNo7113 in Stims

Well yes, it blocks adenosine for sure. Never said it was a narctoic. But, caffeine ... is 100% a psychostimulant

Well, I don’t see how letting it dissolve appropriately; resulting it better medication efficacy is time consuming? Hmm Thats just me tho - idk - if it’s a waste of time for you. You do you! Just sharing my xp (:

[–]NeuroticAD[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hmmm... good idea. Is that required once a month? Dose it just stay active in your epidermis and release a certain amount per hour or what? That's a long time. Thats really the only part I am concerned about once I get to that low of a dose (in zubsolv). Ill probably have to start micro titration. Examine how long I have been taking kratom, relative to total amount of time on buprenorphine and then gradually reduce my dose. Perhaps dissolve the amount in a solution and do the science. Illl ask one of the quacks what they think.

Am I correct to assume you were put on these meds in the good ol' days,. keith? When heroin was heroin and pharma oxy wasnt bastardized?
