I currently take 3mg of 'Risperdal'... and I used to also take 1mg of Ativan along with the Risperdal which one of my doctors discontinued.

I also take those 'One-A-Day' men's vitamin supplements.

none, ever, not even vitamins. and pray to not need any meds ever. although I understand people having different conditions have to take pills. it's sad to think about. medicine is anyway still in the middle ages and needs more research and funding

lol ;) I am fine, trust me.

My doctor has prescribed me a psychostimulant called Dextroamphetamine. I am taking it for my "ADHD" ;)I take it to excel at my studies. The rest are antidepressants that I take to keep my mood high and motivated.

I don't actually have any illness, I am just taking these drugs for their therapeutic benefits (on a normal person like me).

Antidepressants don't just alleviate depressive feelings and thoughts, but it can actually boost your mood, even if you are not depressed. They are happy pills, they make people more sociable, decrease social anxiety, lighten up mood and motivation. I use them to reach hypomania, a state just below mania. I like to dwell in a high mood.

It is understandable if you are diagnosed with ADHD and you need that drug to excel your studies. But screwing with your pineal gland without a need won't bring you any good in the long run.

Why not just take crack cocaine or heroin? Then you can dwell in a high mood all day long :D

Have you considered taking Abilify (Aripriprazole)? It is a dopamine partial agonist, instead of your antagonist. Abilify competes with dopamine for dopamine receptors almost equally, but the intrinsic activity of Abilify is less than that of dopamine. If dopamine is 100% activation, Abilify might activate it say 60% (I don't really know these statistics, just giving an example). Abilify is also a serotonin type 1A receptor partial agonist. This might be the main reason why it is sometimes used as a treatment for depression, when the regular antidepressants don't work well enough on their own. Abilify has probably the best profile of side effects, when it comes to neuroleptics in general.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD. It is not difficult to get diagnosed with this. Most people have attention and concentration problems, they just don't know it until they are diagnosed. The psychiatrist gives me a prescription for my drugs, they are completely legal.

If you are interested in obtaining these kind of drugs, look for a psychiatrist, complain about attention and concentration issues, fill out the quiz, get your prescription. It is not that complicated. College students have figured this out for ages.

[Petros Agapetos]

I have tried cocaine a lot, and I love it, but it can get me paranoid and borderline psychotic when I abuse it. It is so easy to abuse a drug like that.
I just settle with weed for now, and not to mention my meds ;) By the way, my Marijuana is also by prescription, so I am not breaking any law.

Cocaine gives you a short lived rush of high and euphoria, antidepressants alter the structure and function of your brain in such a way that lifts up mood, reduces anxiety, and increases sociability. Antidepressants have long term effects that are pleasant, cocaine is just a drug of abuse.

[Petros Agapetos]

Actually this is more Pharmacology than Chemical Engineering. I am familiar with both, but I only have formal training in the latter.

What is the concern with the pineal gland? Is there evidence that taking stimulants damages it somehow or what?

Taking stimulants has the following effects on me:

more energetic
heightened motivation
can read and write faster
improves attention, memory, and concentration

I take breaks in between study periods, in which I don't take stimulants to let my brain readjust temporarily before I resume taking them.

Stimulants burn out your adrenal gland and eventually you gain a permanent tolerance when you will never feel fully awake or energetic without them

[LieDetector]

The FDA and Big Pharma have mislead millions into taking dangerous anti-depressants.

[Wanderer]

None.

[Petros Agapetos]

I know stimulants cause dopamine receptors to downregulate (decrease in number) over time due to prolonged exposure of dopamine to the receptor sites. This is why I take breaks in between, I don't take stimulants non-stop. I only take them when I am a full time student. I take uridine supplements to replenish my dopamine receptors, so I don't experience the negative side effects they can have long term. I am very careful.

[Amud]

None. I've gone through the whole system of doctors telling me I'm mentally ill and need to be on all kinds of nasty drugs, and all they did was screw me up worse. One of them gave me tardive dyskinesia, which thankfully went away when I discontinued it. Thanks to dysgenics, environmental toxins, and generally living an inferior lifestyle, everyone seems to be developing these mental and physical ailments which need to be treated with potentially dangerous artificial chemicals, and then they have to take even more chemicals to treat the side effects resulting from the toxicity of the first chemicals. Where's the logic in that? What's going to happen to these people when society collapses and they can't get their chemicals anymore? I'll give you a hint: It's going to be a hell of a lot less pleasant that what people experience when they live in evolutionarily normal cultures and were never exposed to that garbage in the first place.

Users, would you ever consider taking Antidepressants to increase your mood, make you happier, less anxious, and more sociable?

I have no depressive illness, I am taking antidepressants to get myself in a nice hypomanic state where my thoughts and creativity are freed from the shackles of mundane experiences.

The antidepressant that I am taking, Trintelix, is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, it inhibits the recycling of serotonin from between nerve junctions, thereby increasing serotonergic neurotransmission. The latter is associated with good relaxed mood, relief of depression, relief of anxiety.

I don't know, I am not much informed about it. I just know that drug addicts once are of the drugs can hardly be normal again. Overuse of pineal gland. If it is so good as you put it logic dictates that we all should tomorrow buy some antidepressants. But hey, if you know when to stop and it is not effecting you in any way...

[Coolguy1]

I have no need for such drugs. Daily excersize and meditation are the only things I do to keep my mind healthy.

[MissMischief]

Just iron supplements when I'm on my period.

Regarding antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs, I've noticed that doctors in America tend to prescribe them way too easily, it seems like they are being handed out like sweets :eek:

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

I've taken Dextroamphetamine before. It left me emotionally detached but yet very aggressive if I lost my temper. That stuff is like looking through a narrow tunnel.

I am sorry to hear that. I have only had positive experiences with Dexedrine. It helps my antidepressants lift up my mood and create a motivated state of mind in which I can study and take pleasure in it. Dexedrine makes people wakeful and sharp, it improves attention, concentration, and memory.

you're a self proclaimed sexist because you decided to generalise billions of people over the few women you have met, and your telling me to take meds? You yourself should be considering why you attract such bad company to come to a conclusion that all women are golddiggers.

hehe, thats better

no more stupid so-called competition, in real life the real competition is one won by against nature in all its odds (wheather, animals, hunting, herds etc...) and not for some papers or tough bright yellow material. Thats the real master of survival, you best remember that, that is what makes a real man

besides i dont even know if im sexist or not or was, cause for some odd reason im getting a lot of friend women moreso than men

[Dominicanese]

the only meds i take is

eating a ton load of plantains, bananas, chicken, goat, pork, rice, beans, chocolate, salads, salman, fried conchs/lambi, and more plantains

and hunting in the everglades (reminds me of home, takes my head out of the boring miami and it's pathetic weak people that are way too concerned on their fones and when some storm comes they are helpless and i just laugh and they take my advice lmao)

[Bobby Martnen]

I don't take meds, but I drink a metric crapton of caffeine every day.

Alhamdulillah, I'm rarely sick (flu, cold, max 1 in year), I try to avoid taking meds for any symptoms, but more natural stuff (teas, soups, fruits and legumes, meat, tanning with the sun for Vitamin D, doing sports, Vicks Vaporub)

The only thing I take sometimes when I feel a bit less good (lack of sleep, stressful workload), is multivitamin pill and Ashwagandha

Sometimes before sex, I take special Arabian honey hehe

25mg?
It’s actually quite a tolerable medicine. In Turkey, you can buy it without a prescription.
Maybe it’s not suitable for you.
Go to the doctor and get something else. I hope you find the right medicine for you.

25mg?


yes.

[Mopi Licinius Crassus]

Oh, we can trade if you want to. Despite being tolerant I don’t like the taste of milk so I always buy soy milk. XD my dad is lactose intolerant and he loves the taste of milk. See how different we are

I thought you were lactose persistent:

It came out that I am not that lactose tolerant as I thought… and you don’t want to know how I found out

Topical medications like vaginal juice.

[Melkiirs]

Do you have any lactose persistence variants like with rs4988235 or rs182549? I have none according to the SNPs used by Sequencing.com free lactose intolerance report, but I have almost never consumed milk so I did not expect that in particular.

[Laredo]

Oh boy I don't know where to start lol. Just came back to get some medication.
