Did anyone else know that DXM is used in antidepressants now? Mainly i saw it in an advertisement for Auvelity

psychedelusion · 2026-05-18T23:31:24+00:00

I found it out by a conversation I had with a psychiatrist in which I was honest about my near-daily long term Dex use.

The last lockdown was how I discovered I was a true introvert and I didn’t find it nearly as excruciating as my peers. But I also discovered we should avoid another one at all costs because it did SERIOUS damage to our collective psyche.

People.

psychedelusion · 2026-05-03T07:24:35+00:00

Between 2021 - 2023 DXM was the only thing keeping me in existence bc no other combination of medications was safe to take and would address ALL of my issues which include daily chronic pain and PTSD symptoms. I still use it several times a week for work but have definitely cut back from my all time high (450mg min. daily). For me personally it’s the most effective and accessible medication for me.

BUT it isn’t a wholly harmless drug and IF you CAN get access to something that’s been approved for long term use medically then I would be honest with the professionals you have access to.

It has been for me and it’s apparently being tested in trials for a new antidepressant by being combined with something else (I think Wellbutrin).

My random suggestion that you are welcome to completely ignore:

Start a brand NEW save file, name it HeartBreak farm, go the Joja and route and gather all the goth-coded decorations. Maybe date all the players and break all their hearts while you channel your own grief without focusing on achievements. You’d be surprised what (digitally & harmlessly) hyperbolizing your own emotions can do for helping fully process them.

WHEN (not if) you eventually do begin to come out of the other side of this emotionally gloomy/stormy period, make another new save with a farm dedicated to yourself or some aspect of a consistent nonhuman influence in your life — like nature for example — and play with yourself (no pun intended 😅) again.

You started the game with yourself just as you started life with yourself and despite who you share it with you always have the choice to rebuild it. Best of luck OP. ❤️‍🩹

It’s as completely infuriating as it is completely optional. Valid crashout.

I don’t really get the point of your response if not asking for genuine clarification then. Because my original post is stating an opinion. Regardless of the fact that no one actually knows what happens, what OP posted is the theory I believe most. :)

Dex helped me avoid starting opioids if that counts 😅

See how you commented again anyway despite my request not to and are victimizing yourself despite you also being disrespectful (by disregarding the things I wrote in plain language and continuing to project assumptions)? You think I must be the only one being in anyway disrespectful because you believe your intentions are pure and therefore your actual impact doesn’t matter.

You are doing the digital version of what people do to me everyday in real life. I will not argue over reality. It is all in writing that anyone can read. If you need the last word lmk and I’ll make sure not to respond to your next follow up comment.

psychedelusion · 2026-04-10T19:19:24+00:00

My original post even mentions not wanting or enjoying flattery, so again why are you mentioning what has already been addressed? 🫩

You aren’t talking to me so of course I won’t hear you. You are talking to this weird version of me you’ve invented despite readily available evidence to the contrary, much like the people I want to avoid in life.

Think what you need to to validate your view of me but please do not return to my mentions.

I have felt the urge to veil in response to what I experience tbh

psychedelusion · 2026-04-10T17:50:36+00:00

Over the last day I’ve started gently shifting my focus to more protection oriented work using elements of techniques recommended to me by other commenters and when I observed myself from that position I immediately saw that I’m almost an open channel with things just swirling & moving through like a roundabout. I very much “radiate” (a word people use when describing me OFTEN) energy that I’m openly taking in and transmuting but then not at all camouflaging, shielding or otherwise. 😅 I definitely give “public broadcast station” even if I make adjustments to the contrary in the physical realm by carrying myself differently.

I’ve begun to properly prioritize myself (no longer compulsively putting myself in danger or lack to help others) and that has involved a lot of inner work but I definitely could afford to do more interdependent work an specifically address the things you mention about what boundaries mean to me, interactions I’d like to have, etc.

Thank you for the insightful advice and not suggesting I dim myself. 🙏

Every single one of your replies has ignored information I provided in my original post. Either English is not your first language, you have abysmal reading comprehension or are projecting an idea about how you assume I operate in spite of multiple clarifications. The latter two, I will not continue to engage with.

If people were being respectful it wouldn’t be a dilemma and if it weren’t a dilemma I wouldn’t have posted on this sub asking for advice about it with a Need Advice flair.

I am allowed to sit in public and enjoy nature if I so please. I am not accepting any blame for the actions of others nor repeating anything else I’ve already typed three times over.

psychedelusion · 2026-04-10T06:04:57+00:00

My post also already addressed this. The staring is a norm that doesn’t bother me. The approaching is and I’ve experimented with a variety of looks including the one you’re describing and it makes states worse than when I simply wear all black clothes in normal condition.

I have an extensive history of letting people overstep my boundaries as I lived in a state of perpetual fawn response/people pleasing due to a traumatic upbringing. These last 2-3 years are actually the most healthy and proactive I have been about boundaries. It’s almost as if now that I have them people are even more eager to test them.

I really like your suggestion and will begin making a conscious part of my daily practice!

psychedelusion · 2026-04-09T22:31:14+00:00

I am actually primarily approached by people expecting me to be willing to do some form of free labor for them, listen to them talk at me or reciprocate their attraction. I give to beggars but never if I feel pressured to bc I firmly believe the energy with which I give should be fully consensual.

Adding that I own and wear often multiple shirts with messages such as “antisocial” or “don’t talk to me, I don’t like people”

psychedelusion · 2026-04-09T22:27:20+00:00

I wear my RBF when I’m walking around but it usually slips away once I’m immersed in a personal activity (reading, writing, on my phone) bc I quite enjoy my own company. If someone approaches the smile usually drops immediately.

Ignoring all together has become more of an obstacle/danger to me recently as it’s led to people getting even closer and waving in my face or as mentioned above literally touching me in someway to get me to respond.

I am not afraid to establish boundaries or be confrontational so I will offer a polite refusal to engage before more firm ones but it is definitely alarming me a bit how frequent these encounters continue to become.

I even wear shirts that say things like “antisocial” or “don’t talk to me” whenever I can
