Doctor explained that being on meds means that I have to give up my favorite drugs. I can stop taking ecstasy if it means that intrusive thoughts about suicide also stop, but gently caress me if it doesn't bite harder than knocking off booze.

Super hosed up that you can have a degree and a job and still be living paycheck to paycheck. I even worked with my therapist (she has a social work masters) and confirmed that yes, indeed I am boned. It's hosed up, it's not right. I have such a hard time with understanding why people don't understand that everyone should have a good quality of life, no matter what choices they made in life. I know it sounds so puerile and naive but gently caress, what the gently caress! How do you teach someone to have basic loving empathy!!

Zeroisanumber posted:Doctor explained that being on meds means that I have to give up my favorite drugs. FWIW.. I didnt stop drinking when I was prescribed SSRI/SNRI meds and became a raging alcoholic.. Ive been to rehab twice now and in/out of the provincial court system.. been to prison, etc... all from alcohol and its emotional turmoil when being on emotion management medication. Alcohol, of all the drugs, is the absolute worst while on SNRIs. I would say the combined withdrawal of booze on SNRIs is a suicide trigger for sure. The delirium and panic is unreal along with the depression. When I actually quit booze for good I was also able to quit meds entirely.. go figure. all my other problems were then manageable with therapy. This is just my personal experience, but I can relate exactly to what your doc is suggesting. Thrasher has issued a correction as of 12:00 on Oct 20, 2019 |

got any sevens posted:i clench my jaw a lot more during the day than at night is that a side effect of wellbutrin? I'm on 150mg daily and I often find myself both clenching my jaw and sucking on my cheeks. That isnt a thing I did before I just never considered it was a drug related thing, I just assumed stress

Does anyone else halve their doses of wellbutrin on the weekend? I started doing this because I couldn't get to the doctor for refills once so rationing was required. I started doing this regularly afterwards because it definitely improved focus and mood during workdays. Work usually stresses me out more than the weekends do so it feels worth it. Never discussed this with my doctor as they probably would tell me to knock that poo poo out. Been doing it for years at this point but just curious if it has helped anyone else.

I have a diagnosis for Bipolar Disorder 1, have been hospitalized 2 times in my life, take 3 main medications (Lithium, Abilify, Olanzipine) along with a 4th Hydroxyzine as needed which is some kind of weird anti anxiety anti histamine. If anyone wants to ask any questions about bipolar disorder I guess I have read up on it a lot. I have just decided to make the big but considered decision to quit THC which has been a crutch for me living in a legal state for some time now. I am taking CBD as a replacement with small amounts of THC to hopefully get me through withdrawals, because I definitely get weed withdrawals, and I suck to be around when that is happening.

I do that with my adderall, but my dr is actually cool with it. She prescribes me 20 mg IR twice a day because I halve the medication and only take one a day so I can see her every 4 months or so. Im actually prescribed Wellbutrin along with Prozac too but I havent been taking the Wellbutrin since my wife and I are trying to conceive and for some reason, I only have sexual side effects when I combine the Wellbutrin and Prozac. not taking Wellbutrin right now sucks. I was doing so much better when I was taking it. I also was doing better when I was smoking weed, but my current job does random drug tests so thats out

Found a psychiatrist that specializes in ADHD, but he's a 12 week wait AND doesn't accept any insurance! The website has informed me that this allows the office to pass the savings onto me, making the initial consultation and testing a mere $575+ dollars! No I can't use a previous ADHD test, and they don't participate in care credit. THINK OF ALL THE SAVINGS!! In the meantime, I get to stick with a psychiatric nurse practitioner that has stacked up four different medications and keeps suggesting drugs that do not have a generic. I feel like if you have to prescribe three different medications for anxiety/depression that maybe, just MAYBE, something is awry here. At least my therapist rules. I should be grateful for that much, at the very least.

I really want a day off, but if I take a day of PTO my parents will give me the stink eye and gently caress with me all day, despite having a real person job that gives me benefits so i can use them. it's kinda frustrating, i did literally thirty minutes worth of work yesterday because there's gently caress all happening here until the next deadline, so i'm just sitting alone in a fluorescent office wishing i was at home. i have 92.5 hours of PTO left so if I take Friday and account for the time I'm forced to take off for Christmas (three days) that still leaves me with a week for emergencies, but my parents have drilled it so deeply into my head that there's never a good reason to take off work besides physical illness or a major preplanned vacation that i get anxious thinking about actually doing it, but i also get anxious when i think about an uninterrupted march to the grave doing this for the rest of my life. maybe if i get an oil change or something that will make them feel like it's a "productive" enough use of my PTO to not bitch at me. i sure wish i got paid enough to just move out right away, but unfortunately i've traded what feels like 80% of my life for such a poo poo wage i can barely save anything. on top of that my girlfriend has been dealing with some depression and anxiety and ive been trying really hard to make her feel better, but it hasn't always been enough and it's been kinda difficult. i had been excited for weeks to go see The Thing playing at a local theater, we had the plans all set, but she realized she had forgotten something for work and had a panic attack and we missed it because we had to go drive out to a store outside the city to get materials. i was mostly happy because taking care of it was able to allay her anxiety, and she's awesome and always recognizes when i go out of my way for her, but last night she was feeling insecure because i've been too nice and accommodating and it's a little  . there have been a couple more things like that recently and i haven't complained because i know how hard it is to be depressed, especially without insurance or medication, but it can be a bit of a bummer when i'm already dealing with my own problems with my suboxone taper and depressing job. i've never been this happy with anyone even when she's having a bad day, but i just don't have any friends to talk to about this stuff so i wanted to vent for a second.

My psychiatrist is changing practices and I am not sure if the new one will accept Medicaid, because very few do and I am extremely poor with basically no prospects at this point so accepting Medicaid is kind of important. Just went through this a year ago, now I have to deal with it again, about ready to just give up and smoke weed exclusively.

Goon Danton posted:Woof, benzo withdrawal is loving rough. Glad to hear you're almost through it though! Stay strong! Yeah, I didn't even know I was dependent until I took a three day trip to Seattle (from Vancouver) and ran out. Didn't worry about it, but then I almost fainted at work and had to leave. Could barely make it to the ferry that connects downtown Vancouver to my area, and ended up calling my dad to pick me up since I was genuinely afraid I'd just collapse somewhere and Vancouver - being a typical west coast city - is filled with so many struggling people lying semi-conscious on the ground that I wasn't confident anyone would notice or care. Definitely gave me some insight as to why hardcore addicts will sell their bodies and commit crimes for their fix. I would have done anything to make that feeling go away.
