I Know Very Few People

[Homicidalheathen]

And I am surprised at some that are. Rather together people on the outside, chop full o' nuts on the inside.

I find out 4 people rather close to me who seem to hold it all together well.....walk around...at work....school.....home.....pretty fucking high and drugged up all the time.

Saraquil or whatever its called gets ya pretty out there.....

As do these other drugs I heard mentioned last night.......I am surprised people have such an issue with me smokin a blunt now and then......hell I dont take pills just to get up in the mornin.

And the one, single......successful.......never had kids.......kinda spoiled by mom and dad...needs anxiety meds??

Why? Only time I had anxiety was when the twins were little. And I didn't take anything for it.

Sorry but I just dont know about people these days. Too easy to just pop a pill.

Find it hard to believe a white single, successful male with no offspring needs anti anxiety pills.

They should save that stuff for mommies lol

(I kid, but you know.......?)

Seroquil...hmm...anti-psychotics..no...really...the Doctors are making us week...

when the answers are in the herbs of the land...

...and, those drugs they give out like candy, have KILLED people, granted they mix alcohol in with them...and DIE!

I don't take any kind of pill for any anxiety..but i've been told that i probably need some form of anti-depressant.. I have my HIGH highs and my LOW LOW lows..

Mostly, I reflect the emotions of those around me.. That's why I feel like Counselor Troi most times.. I think I'm empathic.. *groans*

But I agree, pills are just WAY too overused I think these days..

I hear St Johns wart works good but it makes you sun light sensitive...

I used valarian root for spasms but it gave me heart palpitations.

Whatever happened to the good old days when people just got wasted to make themselves feel better?

Ah, to return to simpler times...

I worry about all of these medications going to kids. Some need it, granted, but the overwhelming majority of these medications have NEVER been tested on adolescents and I would not offer up my little ones to be the guinea pigs, nothankyouverymuch.

After the girls were born, and I went to my six week checkup, the dr. kept asking me what I thought were very odd questions. She was like 'Are you feeling tired?' Well, yeah, I'm only getting about two hours of sleep a night. 'Are you eating well?' Um, no, I doubt it. 'Are you feeling overwhelmed?' I have two new babies, so, yeah, I guess a little and she wrote me a prescription for anti-depressants and I was like 'What the hell is wrong with you lady? I'm not depressed. I'm sleepy!'

And then she started to assure me that many women have post-partum depression and that my mental well-being was important and I was like 'yeah, I know all of this. I'm still not depressed'

She almost seemed disappointed to put away her prescription pad.

Weird, huh?

I hear both of these especially St. John's Wort affects the effectiveness of your birth control.. (just a thought for some of you women to think about).

Trust me, my low lows have nothing to do with nothing..they're deeply rooted in stuff.. and I choose to work them out on my own. I hate anything that makes me feel numb.. (I think I've stated this before). I much rather deal with the pain and deal with the issues than to take a pill for it.

Just my thoughts.

It's weird for those of us who are NORMAL.. have you seen lately how many of these pharmaceuticals salespeople go into doctor's offices?

My doctor I SWEAR has gotten nice trips to the bahamas or somewhere like that on the meds he prescribes..

YES...PREACH SISTA!!!!!

you know what really scares me...is that when they first put you on the stuff...they keep messing with dosages, and switching drugs around...and it takes you FOREVER to even try to get used to it....and then, some of the effects...I would rather do without.

I used to be severely suicidal, and I'm pretty much 95% straight maniac....I was on meds for a month...thats all it needed before I dumped every single one of them down the drain.

they killed my creativity...made me slower at work...flat out mentally slow...and I was a line cook, at TGIF at the time...working with hot flat tops and grease wells....your slow and lethargic there...and your job is DONE...and your lucky to not get hurt.

My mother still insist I take them...after 4 years of not taking them

so ppl...lets judge

lethargic, uncreative, no friends, and about to loose his job = Dave (thats my name btw) on psych meds

semi-successful, popular, funny, creative, and well-known owner of his own business = Dave WITHOUT meds.

I'm not saying ALL meds are a bad thing....some ppl need them....I have a friend, for example...that has both visual and audiable hallucinations that make "the cell" look tame...and the drugs can only kill off the sounds...not the visual. but he has learned to deal with the visual..and holds down a good relationship..a damn nice apartment...and a steady job...but for LOTS of this stuff...you don't need f*cking meds!!!
