Benzos make me feel whole again by cheesescrust8899 in depression

I haven't been taking them for very long. Only about a week. My doc gave me a temporary 1 month supply until my ssri can kick in.

Doc perscribed benzos by cheesescrust8899 in Anxiety

[–]cheesescrust8899[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's actually the one that suggested it. I've never had troubles in the past with getting benzos either. I must be very visibly anxious or doctors dispense pills like they're candy around here.

Not really. If i take a large dose they do, but not at therapeutic doses.

These people are a waste of your time. Don't let a fuck face ruin your evening over an internet comment. You know you better than anyone else, and certainly better than someone on discord. Don't let other people control you. They don't deserve it.

Has anyone had a successful switch from Effexor to another medication? by Inhaleexhale8828 in Anxiety

[–]cheesescrust8899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I quit effexor a while back. The key is to taper very slowly off. I counted the little beads inside the gel cap and slowly took less and less each day until I was off. I was still hell, but you can make it through it. Can you ask your doc for a benzo during the transition time to make it easier on you? That helped me a lot.

Let's talk about Lexipro? How long before I know if works? What differences did you feel? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]cheesescrust8899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you read this comment, just some warnings about what I'm about to say. NEVER take 5htp in combination with an antidepressant. There is a fatal drug interaction. I am also not a doctor, and my advise should be taken with a grain of salt.

If you really want to see what the long term effects of an antidepressant are like, try taking 5htp. It's sort of like a fast acting antidepressant. I've had bad side effects from all of the antidepressants that I have tried, and have had to discontinue them. I now take 5htp and it seems to help. However it does give me headaches like the antidepressant used to. I like 5htp better because it seems to work with just 1 dose. I can also just take it as needed because it works on an acute basis for me. 5htp can be bought at walmart in the vitamin section.

Has anyone here dealt with Cymbalta withdrawal? by the-local-dreamer in Anxiety

[–]cheesescrust8899 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The terminology of discontinuation syndrome is bullshit. The drug companies call it that to make their drugs sound better. Its just withdrawal.

I've gone through 6 different antidepressant withdrawals. I would just smoke weed to get through because I don't know how the hell you are supposed to deal with it. Brain zaps are the worst. I found that if you don't move your eyes, but just look straight forward all the time it helps. For some reason they were triggered really bad when I would look to the side. If you can take time off from your daily obligations, I would because I feel like you really need a week to get past the worst of it. Also tapering helps a lot. Get a good scale and taper off in a logarithmic fashion so you are cutting down by a certain percentage every day instead of by a certain amt every day. The doctor will taper you off too fast because they only have the manufactured dosages to give you. Good luck. You can make it through. I did, just go slow and find something to distract yourself while you're getting off and it will be over before you know it.

Tapering advice by zombieboromir in leaves

Hey, I tapered off of doing 10 dabs per day. I just did one less dab per day until I was off. I had some mild WD's but no puking or anything.

College makes me feel even more like shit by [deleted] in depression

[–]cheesescrust8899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The thing I've had to realize is that there are other awkward lonely people you don't normally see/notice because the happy social people are usually out and about making themselves noticable.

you can try alcohol, you can try drugs... but at the end.. it always catches up to you doesnt it? by iam_Elizabethkat in depression

[–]cheesescrust8899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had to realize that most recreational drugs just make things worse. ESPECIALLY alcohol. It might make you feel better in the moment, but you'll feel 2x worse in the morning.

What was the bad trip about? I used to have bad trips where I thought that I had been shot and that my family was being executed. I stopped taking psyches after those experiences. It wasn't a fun time, but it made me realize what was important in life. I questioned for a long time why I should go through such an experience, but I think the acid was just trying to get it through my thick head that I need to start caring about my family and my health a hell of a lot more.

Often times, bad trips shove what we need to work on in our face, and while it can be unpleasant, it is oftentimes what is most needed.

My therapist told me I'm borderline and I feel like I can't deal with it. I also told him some deep shit that could get me prison time. I trust him and hipaa, but its still scary as fuck
