As ongoing treatment for my accumulating diagnoses of accumulating neuroses, I am on drugs every day. This is a happy safe place to share what drugs you are on, have taken in the past, and are afraid of getting on. Tell us what worked and what failed miserably. Warn us away from bad pharmaceuticals and steer us towards the good alternatives.
Even though I've been diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder, I have never been medicated for it. The other stuff I'm taking right now is 40 mg Celexa for major depression and OCPD, and .5 mg Lorazepam twice a day and two at bedtime for anxiety. I've been kind of leery lately because I'm still having thoughts I shouldn't be having, and while the Lorazepam helps with anxiety, I can't get a wink of sleep without it now. Prior to Lorazepam I was on Clonazepam and I don't feel like I can recommend that. It felt like I was on horse tranquilizers all day long; I would sleep like Rip Van Fucking Winkle and when I wasn't sleeping I was acting like a gat damn weirdo.

Maybe I'm just tired of fighting and want to not care anymore. I dunno.
As someone who may be doing this soon, how do you feel about adderall?
like last night when I was just spitting out poems
but I also eat like a starving lion and I'm a social disaster
*shrug*
Stale, keep fighting the good fight. Your leaking bodily fluids are the oil that makes SE++ run like a well-maintained machine.
when I'm on it I can work
when I'm off it I can create
I feel like this would be an improvement over this weird limbo I'm in, where I get tiny little glimpses into how creative I can be, but it's overshadowed by my complete lack of desire to sit down and actually work on something for more than 10 minutes.
for the first two weeks the doctor wants me to take .5mg of Ativan twice a day, too
Same
My dad is taking some immunity compromising arthritis slash psoriasis drug now so he gets to shoot up on the daily
When you say "chug" are you exaggerating
I understand that some people need it and that's cool though
Yeah it is stigmatized and that sucks
I have the hardest time remembering to take it on my own.
You may be a pharmacophobiac
Trying to swallow water and pills at the same time just feels weird to me
i drink two or three beers a week on average
I am always so so scared that the pill will end up stuck in my throat if I don't try to take it with water at the ready, and I'll choke
But then I also take some pretty big pills; my off-brand Allegra could probably choke a python
What happens if they have perfect vision
Stab them in the eye.
"just walk, you don't need that crutch"
I usually feel it in my throat and that's why I chase it with water
I don't know why it's weird for me to do both at once though
For a while I was popping 6-8 tylenol PMs a night
That was wonderful stuff
But I take all of my life advice from '90s arcade games.

I was really pissed off at those PSAs on the arcade machines because at the time, I had heard that M. Bison was a drug dealer and in my 6th grade head drug dealer = drug user
And I was like, this guy is an asshole and you can never beat him, fuck this, I'm doing drugs if it means I get to win every time
Turns out I may have dysthymia.
Shitsweak. Definitely better now that it's under treatment.
a bit, yes
Okay, that is comforting, just makin sure
