I used to take Wellbutrin for depression and Concerta XR (the really big fuckers with the highest allowed dosage) for ADD, but I eventually realized that they weren't really helping, other than the Concerta being great for weekend-long gaming marathons. The Wellbutrin actually seemed to make my depression worse, so I eventually flushed it and never refilled the scrip, the Concerta I hung on to for recreational use and when it ran out I never touched uppers again. My problems didn't go away, I just learned how to ignore or control them. I discovered a few years later and well out of high school that weed takes care of most of my depression issues as well as helping to keep my temper in check if my blood-sugar drops. It also actually helps with my concentration, which I gather from other people is generally not normal with pot. Alcohol doesn't interest me at all anymore, though I do enjoy a good beer like anybody else.

So I'm not on meds, don't have mental or physical health issues, don't drink a whole lot and I'm a white male, I'll check my enormous privilege at the door. Though I do have a terrible temper, I'm trying a few things to control that which seem to be working.

Cakefool posted:So I'm not on meds, don't have mental or physical health issues, don't drink a whole lot and I'm a white male, I'll check my enormous privilege at the door. Learn to meditate. No loving joke. I used to blow up about all kinds of poo poo, but I started meditating. It started out just meditating at home, then I'd take ten after getting angry about something. Then I would meditate, think of something that makes me angry, and then just... sort of expel the emotion. I'm at the point now where I can feel the anger rise at something, but the mental conditioning acts like a emergency relief valve and it just goes away. It's practically unconscious at this point. Mind you, I started doing this nearly a decade ago, so no instant gratification. Re: drug chat. I was diagnosed ADD at 8 or so, had been on Ritalin, Adderal up until 15. Later, age 23 or so, I went to a psych with my ex-fiance as a combo relationship councilor and personal therapist, and was put on Vyvanse. It did wonders for me, but I definitely noticed a change in psyche. My meditative practices allowed me more introspective clarity that exacerbated the feeling of "not being me", even though Vyvanse is really good about not making you feel medicated. I eventually broke up with the girl and stopped seeing the therapist, and my scrip ran out. After a career change and some other progress on the road of life I'm at a point now that I know I have focus issues, and diet/exercise habits are not helping enough. I'm thinking about going back to get back Vyvanse, because I know it will help me focus at work and perform better, and that would help me achieve life goals that might eliminate some of the stress that makes the "over clocked" feeling worse.

I'm not on meds, but should be. Went off my wellbutrin back in April when my prescription ran out, never re-upped because A) I had just gotten the Mazda fixed and was riding high off that, B) am a stubborn lazy jackass, and C) have this huge loving complex about making Important Phone Calls (even to an office I've been to dozens of times). Mix em all up and here I am 6 months later, constantly depressed and stressing out over school. Nobody is really fully sane on these forums, I think.

I was on lexapro, but I got off of it last year in hopes of joining the Coast Guard (I didn't, got too old). The withdrawls made me a real rear end in a top hat. I don't want to be that person again. Today I focus on my schoolwork, my truck, and I drink. Whenever I feel down, I do something with Bambi and I feel better. I need the sense of victory over something I guess.

I have a family with a history of depression, coupled with a job that has my sleep cycles in a constant state of hosed up, its hard to feel "good" at times. I do admit the lexapro makes me feel pretty good and I went down from 20 to 10 mg. I am in counseling as well so life is getting semi normal. I hope to rid of it eventually. Edit: I didn't see a downgrade of my sex drive. In fact it upped it. Orgasms come pretty easy as well! (Pun semi intended) BrokenKnucklez fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Nov 6, 2014 |

I tend to feel worse when it's nasty outside; also whenever it rains or snows I can't get out of bed because I'm achey (though I guess that's a side affect of having Lyme for so long is arthritis). I should start taking Vitamin D to help, but nothing beats the Australian sun

Something for you to try if you haven't already: http://sourmashmanifesto.com/2012/10/14/evan-williams-single-barrel-2002/ Back when I first started getting into bourbon, I found a case of 2000 vintage bottled on my birthday  I bought the whole case. Excellent poo poo. Unfortunately I drank just about all of it in a year's time.

For all you self-medicatin', hard-drinkin' motorscooters out there, try Flaviar. They have a subscription service, and prices (at least on Scotch) are reasonable.
