[igig1970666]

Heeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy dont need a neuro-pysio lecture. by the way .. your lecture sux!

Using no medical tests at all, I'm diagnosing you as 'crazy.' Here's a prescription for brain-disabling "abilify" a nueroleptic drug.

I did this without any lab test,brain scan or procedure known to medical science? that you in fact "have" the "illness" implied by the diagnostic labels.

You're now locked into a life-time diagnosis, needing life-time "treatment". Meanwhile, I'll get life-time payments, either from you or from your health insurance."

Thats psychiatry explianed.

@AkathisiA101 I dont know. its what ever.

I can use telepathy, send and receive on distance of few kilometer. I think it would be very important to do research on my brain

[composer63]

@VinkoRajic how do you know you can do this friend. What is telepathy?

[johmedis]

@VinkoRajic Me too. I can telepathically communicate with anyone within the cosmos however, I've contacted many different types of life forms we haven't encountered, as well as communicated directly with Barack Obama, and, more importantly, Michael Jackson. Do research on my brain instead.

Wellbutrin and Effexor are NOT pure SSRI's. Do your research and double check it before posting something like this my friend. Otherwise, a fairy good job.

[composer63]

@msk7046 "otherwise, fairly good job" ..... hmm. you sounded mad at me for a moment there.

[Penguinz13989]

I've taken Prozac, Effexor XR, and Cipralex (lexapro).

Effexor worked wonders for depression but not my anxiety, Cipralex calms my anxiety.

I am also on Concerta which I've found to help with depression more than my ADD

[composer63]

@Penguinz13989 HA!!! I love concerta. Its an instant cure for BPD too. But, it also a huge downer too. did you have very big mood swings on it.

[Penguinz13989]

@composer63 No but i do find some some days it makes me confident and happy and other days it makes me depressive and paranoid.

I woudn't give it up though, even if i feel very empty once it wears off

[composer63]

@Penguinz13989 Hey, I wish I could take it again. I don't need it now. I'm pretty comfortable. I built a tolerance to it.

[johmedis]

@Penguinz13989 I've just been moved from 20mg Lexapro /day to 150mg Efexor XR /day. It's been like, 8 months.

I wonder how long it's gonna last, hey? I'd rather have ADD, and get ritalin. Yay synthesized speed in legal pill form for kids!

[Felderos]

@johmedis lol ritalin might actually be just as good for depression as SSRI's! (speaking from experience) because ritalin and all that effect dopamine instead, which instead of making u happy, it makes u interested... which i have found hardly any difference since all those drugs make u feel like a zombie.

[johmedis]

@Felderos Haha that was a month ago. There's so much irony in that. I got evaluated by my psych and I'm on a trial of Ritalin for ADHD-PI or whatever.

[nicknackrap]

Idk why, but meds have never worked for me. The first couple meds I tried increaed my anger outburts and completey took away my appetite even when I started out on a small dosage. The last meds I tried did make me feel better and didnt make me angrier or anorexic but for some reason, idk, somethin didnt feel right. I was acting out as if I was happy, and i did kinda feel happy, but i still felt the flatness and emptyness of bpd and it didnt feel right. im off al meds now. idk, i dont like them

[composer63]

@nicknackrap did they treat you for adhd or something like that?

[nicknackrap]

@composer63 They gave me a few pills that treated both A.D.H.D and Depression and then they just gave me depression pills.

[composer63]

@nicknackrap strattera?

[nicknackrap]

@composer63 I was on and off a lot of different medications, and yeah strattera was one of them but tht one made me worse.

[composer63]

@nicknackrap I take it right now. its not the greatest help. :/ I can live with out it.

[RZEEJOKERRS1000]

lol i never took anti depressants before but its still nice to know these things and to learn about them.
