Sounds good. I tried interacting with people on reddit and it just ended up with people telling me all psychotropic drugs permanently alter your brain and to smoke CBD and eat patchouli or something, which made me remember how saner people are on SA.

I got to experience SSRI withdrawal syndrome this weekend. That was fun. Even though I tapered off citalopram very slowly. I never want to feel that way again!

So yeah I'm back on citalopram.

- vivid-rear end dreams like I haven't had since i was a kid
- sort of feel like i'm coming up for air for the first time in about 8 years

When your cock inevitably breaks once you increase the dose, remember our Lord and Savior Wellbutrin PBUH.

Speaking of Wellbutrin, I realized it was working fantastically in conjugation with an SSRI, it basically canceled out all the bad side effects. Without an SSRI it feels like I'm on loving speed 24/7, so I dropped it yesterday.

I also got very vivid dreams the last time I increased my Fluoxetine dose. It doesn't last forever, though (maybe a few weeks at most). Also a very dry throat - which also doesn't last forever, but you should be keeping hydrated more at this time of year anyway.

This is common. I know a few people who take Zoloft with Wellbutrin.

*ADHD medication is split between amphetamines, methylphenidate, and other. All of those have immediate release and extended release under different names. Like Ritalin, Ritalin XR, and Daytrana are all the same thing, but one's a short action pill, long action pill, and a patch. The only thing I've read about extended release pills is they end at 5-6pm, which is great if your life ended at your job, which it loving doesn't. Also if you have things that affect absorption rates, like bariatric surgery, who knows how well extended release medications work because gently caress it you're thin** now who cares!

Complaints aside, extended release end earlier than you need it, so don't be afraid to ask for a small evening supplemental dose of an immediate release.




*I'm very drunk, so the information is well read, but the grammar cloaked in vodka

**As long as you didn't gently caress up the diet/lifestyle changes!

I just feel like I'm a lovely and contempt-filled person, partially because of how I was raised since my parents were hardcore right-wingers (dad loves reading Stormfront, mom agrees with most of his opinions), but mostly because I guess I just gravitate towards being an argumentative and hateful person. Like gently caress me, I went to one session of group therapy for trans people and left because I thought the people there looked ugly and that freaked me out since my dumbass lizard brain thinks that I'll be like that if I don't find some trans woman that passes to look up to. I get into fights constantly and I never really recognize anyone else's opinions as worthy in comparison to my own. God I loving hate that I can't afford any therapy at all, I need to fix myself because I'm just an awful human being as I am.

in many ways I think being hateful and filled with bitter recriminations and spite is a reasonable reaction to living under capitalism. it’s misdirected in an abstract sense because every day assholes or ugly peoples or whatever obviously aren’t the problem and are just like anyone else but this tremendous tension builds up and just has to go somewhere, at least for me. life for most people is just tons of little indignities inflicted on them financially, emotionally, physically, whatever, and it gives every little interaction in life an undercurrent of hate and dissatisfaction. being an alienated weirdo seems to exacerbate these tendencies, like I’m also hateful and argumentative but I sometimes wonder if that’s exclusively because those traits are among my many character flaws or if the hateful antagonism would go away around decent socialists. I saw you mention being dismissive of others opinions but like, I do feel it bears mentioning that some opinions are worth dismissing, and many people are ignorant jerks who deserve to be argued with

I’m feeling pretty bad at the moment, I was up half the night puking and making GBS threads from non specific feelings of anxiety, I guess I didn’t digest my dinner right or something because around 4:30 I projectile vomited and laid in bed shivering and sweating, alternately. my life is a big empty meaningless wasteland and if I didn’t have some decent hash carts and immersive video games to go home to I don’t think I could live much longer with this generalized emptiness and growing social isolation. it sucks. I must be really unpleasant to be around, I’ve slowly lost all my friends and I keep going on first dates with women who ask me out and then when we meet up make an excuse within like an hour because I guess I look decent in pictures but am a boring disappointment irl. I was hopeful my many other problems would fall into line with this whole having an actual decent job thing but it turns out it’s just highlighting the gaping emptiness of the rest of my time.

I hate to assign reading in the mental health thread but I've seen a similar take on how capitalism makes people miserable and how socialism aims to change that to ordinary unhappiness.
