Medication, eh? I want to get on xanax (thanks plurry for telling me about that!) and you know, other anti-depressants, but they all seem to make you not want to fuck. And, I'm not ready to retire that part of my anatomy just yet.
effexor and welbutrin don't cause the sexual side effects. same thing for serzone, but it isn't used as much anymore because a couple of light weights developed liver problems.
klonopin is essentially a log acting xanax. they're both benzodiazepines.
the only time I get anxious is when I fly--will they give me them for flights? Usually I've been knocking myself out with pills and booze, but maybe this would be better.
for me, xanax is like the benefits of drinking a six pack by taking a pill. you get all the good effects of a good hard buzz with no repercussion of a hang over or dehydration. it's easy to wake up from those too. your don't feel drowsy.
obviously, they are meant to be combined with booze. you can break the pills in half, have a couple drinks and you get the same effect.
lol heath ledger was a pussy by the way.
anyway, back in 1999, i told my dr. i had chronic anxiety, someone gave me xanax and it was like a miracle cure.
things are different now. they don't hand scripts for those out quite as easy. i've been thinking about pushing to get mine refilled, but i know that's not the best thing to do.
Thing is, I have anxiety, but I don't want to start down that road. I mean I *DO* but I don't, cause I don't think I could moderate myself.
Plus, I feel like such a cheesy pussy going to my doc and asking for stuff. He doesn't like to give stuff anyway, I'm pretty sure he'd make me go see a shrink. Which, since I'm a psych major would be humiliating.
right, because psych majors aren't allowed to have psychological conditions.
drew says most anxiety issues are born of depression. second, he says addicts not in recovery are depressed, and will choose to keep dancing with their addiction. as a result, they only feel good while using. eventually, that stops working and amounts are doubled down upon.
so which is it? do you have a true anxiety disorder, is this a manifestation of depression or are you an addict seeking things to get addicted to?
here, we go.. any history of addiction in your immediate family? and when did your daddy rape you?

LOL! I used to throw up every morning before school because of nerves, among other things. I wasn't drinking at 7, lol! Same pattern has continued, I just freak out about things, and stay up all night running through situations, etc. You know, out of nowhere all of a sudden a thought hits you and your heart rate rockets up out of your chest, and you start freaking? Anyone?? heh.
EDIT: I drink out of boredom, and when drinking gets boring, I stop that, until not drinking gets boring too. Right now I'm on the not drinking phase. I think if I got those magic xanax pills though, I would never have a phase where I would want to stop taking them.

why don't you try a non addictive, anti depressant first? something that will work on the ol' seratonin levels. amitryptaline (generic name elivel) is a $4 script at walmart.
it's an SSRI that will help you sleep, and helps with depression.
i can't sleep worth a damn. my brain won't ever turn off either, especially if i have a new job assignment. the quality of sleep i get is horrible, add something to get anxious about, and forget it. it's always been this way with me.
elivel has helped me quite a bit, doesn't make me feel "out of it" in the morning either. so, i guess this would be a testimonial of sorts.
right, because psych majors aren't allowed to have psychological conditions.
Not that you need telling, but the most bat-shit crazy people I've known/effed/been in school with have been psych majors (not counting the human-factors psych people who might as well be engineers). The woman who wrote "Therapist" and then The|Rapist on the white board was in a psych class. Good times.

Bguirk please, I am a psych major. /sarcasm And I'm perfectly normal!
There's this girl in my class who is 25 and she's engaged to a 35 year old who has 2 kids and he doesn't do anything for work cause he came into some money when his dad died. What a gold digger that girl is. She's fat too, I think she might be pregnant. Good times!
