Lol. Sounds like the last time I went to the dentist. "Wow, you have a really high tolerance to anesthetics." "Heh, yeah I know."

Skull Man

that is not how my experience went

mine was the dentist not believing me and trying to drill into my tooth anyway, and me gripping his other arm so hard it left little finger-tip bruises

joshofalltrades

Pain just means the drill is working

Keith

When I was there in early January I went in with no anxiety meds and the first time I felt pain so then we had more shot and even though I couldn't really feel it afterwards I was still shaking and gripping the chair the entire time

I was a pool of sweat at the end

You let me know when you step it up to Concerta like a big boy

(I'm actually about to see about switching to Vivance, Concerta's been giving me some shitty side-effects lately)

I used to take concerta

you know adderall is just concerta but not time-release, right, and better

Time release is so nice

I was on Concerta for a bit
When I was on a higher dose of Adderall XR (think I took 2, 20mg? ish? taken together), I kept forgetting to eat and could really feel when it kicked in and wore off.
Now that I have more routines in my life, I felt alright going back to adderall.
I think the adderall works better for me, but that might just be a dosage thing.

Buttlord

Adderall can suck my fucking dick

Either it didn't work or it made me psychotic

joshofalltrades

Put Adderall on Schedule I

my uncle has adult adhd. I'm sure he's made many people believe in it because it's pretty apparent as soon as you meet him. he has an awful short term memory and he will talk your ear off (i've been in cars with him for hours without saying a word and without him missing a beat). he has an incredibly active imagination, to the point where he's a bit of a revisionist historian when it comes to his/the family's past. he's also had more jobs than I can count because he finds it hard to stay in one place for long (or his bosses are turned off by his behavior)

he can be kind of difficult to be around for more than half an hour if he's not on his meds, and he doesn't like to take them so he's almost never on his meds.

edited to say he is a really great, sweet guy but maaaan he can be so hard to deal with sometimes

concerta was the worst, it didn't help me at all. but i dont think i'm actually ADD, i just liked speed enough that i conned my way into taking it for like two years.

also my mom has developed a new anti-prescription medicine thing and she's discouraging me from going back to the doctor to get my anti-anxiety med script rewritten

i used to be on 3x1mg xanax and 3x1mg klonopin a day, plus 70mg of vyvanse and 10mg dexedrine, topped off with 200mg zoloft at night

i'm not on anything all now, no prescriptions whatsoever, but my anxiety is pretty bad and i've been occasionally acquiring the meds i'd have legally in other ways to cope

Fandyien

honestly though the only thing i really think i would be seriously affected by going without is weed

my sanity would take a very serious hit if i had to go a few days without smoking

It's me I'm your uncle

is that why I have to remind you so often, Buttlord

Projeck

Projeck

Fandyien

That is a lot. Like holy crap.

I need to get a new xanax prescription. I don't use it too often but it is nice to have it when I need it every once in a while.

I'm on Remeron and Prozac right now, one of them is making me fairly sick.

When I was on Wellbutrin a couple years ago, the nausea was insane, but I put up with it for a long time because the side effects were worth not being crazy. But I could never keep any food down, and was too nauseous to do much in the way of physical activity.

I was 6' tall and 112 lbs when I finally got hospitalized. That was lame.

Spoiler:

New stuff worked out for me for a while but past few months the nausea has been picking up. It might be my diet, but I just get pretty nauseous at night, and really nauseous during/after certain strenuous physical activity. which really really sucks. I would like to be able to do it without throwing up afterwords please.

Beasteh

i have never been on prescription medication and i am pretty much a walking mass of neuroses

Fandyien

yeah, i was on an outrageously large amount of drugs. i got no desire to be wonked out on a mixture of xanax/klonopin 24/7 ever again, but it'd be great to be in the middle ground of "having a prescription for panic times" as opposed to my current system, which is "deal with feelings that suck, i guess"

Artreus

Also doesn't consistent weed use interfere with your medications + start making you go kind of nuts after a while of heavy use

Metzger Meister

i think pot honestly levels me out a lot, and makes me a much more considerate and compassionate person. also, more creative.

My lady was on the same dose as you were for a little over a year, apparently. Then something happened with switching doctors and she had to go off it cold turkey and had really bad withdrawal symptoms.

What a shitty, shitty doctor.

Lol. Sounds like the last time I went on a date.

I was on prednisone for some skin trouble for a little while, and that was weird. Mood swings like crazy, and everything just felt unreal. Glad I didn't have to take it for longer than a few days.

I don't smoke weed much, but I spend a lot of time with people who do, and every time I smoke it's better. The first dozen or so times I hated it; now I can stay pretty functional and just enjoy the good parts.

Keith

damn

I am scared of this happening
Have enough trouble when I forget to take Paxil for one or two days
Nor am I looking forward to switching docs when I eventually move again. Hope I can find a doc that'll just give me my adderalls :?
Or perhaps read my file when they send it over. Pretty sure it's in there.

The Cow King

I was on lamacticil a couple months ago and it seemed to help level my mood but then I got a torso rash so I stopped and my doctor just reccomended therapy.

Now I have to wait till april to speak to a therapist about medication which does give me time to stop smoking weed because that could be the source of my troubles.

But it helps with the aniexty so I don't even know.

Never go off of Paxil cold turkey.

I would expand this to say never go off any anti-depressant cold turkey.

i haven't had a beer in such a long time and now i REALLY want one. it's funny how that works some times!

i'm not much of a drinker, really, but every now and then a super cold beer is just the most satisfying thing in the world.

Buttlord

I truly hate the taste of beer

I have to stick to girl drinks

Next time I have the house to myself I'll get shitfaced on Mike's Hard and listen to Tom Waits and skype with Buttlady and prrrrrobably get naked

I have a tendency to get naked

Keith

Beer is great and I love trying different kinds

But I get drunk too easily

Buttlord

Seriously

Unless I'm in a social setting I get naked so fast

This fall I was drinking and talking to Buttlady and suddenly there's four more empties and I'm not wearing pants

the first part, maybe?
the second part, no.

there are some shitty people who smoke a lot of weed but that's the person not the plant.

I don't think I would advocate smoking all the time for reasons such as: I don't want my grocery bill to quadruple, I like being hyper, so on

Keith

I'm giving up on you, Buttlord

I'm giving up

Metzger Meister

i love beer of pretty much every variety.

light or dark,
it's goin' down
a lovely lager
or a nutty brown
a thick black stout
or piss-yellow light
it's time to drink
some beers tonight
