Everyone I know on an anti-depressant is a freaking loon.
You can't even have a conversation with them.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8381622 My first time around a "pill head" was at the dinner table. Scary shit! No one prepared me of their behavior. Boy, I learned fast how to handle the lethargic, space queen deluxe. I was really embarrassed for her. She couldn't even spoon food onto her plates. Yes, she had three plates...stacked upon each other. :( Terribly, terribly sad. Most patients don't know how to work with their doctor, and their doctor isn't competent in the first place! I can relate though, my blood levels of Depakote were so high my hands were shaking so much that all the food would fall out of my spoon while I was eating. I'd also spill water all over the place when moving it from my mouth to the table. Also, my hair was falling out like crazy. Lowering the Depakote and adding in propranolol for a bit eased up the side effect. Embarassing because people tend to think that's alcohol withdrawal. Why was the Depakote level so high? I lost 40 pounds in 3 months because of the wretched drugs a competent doctor took me off. Now my doctor got kicked out of the practise probably because he detested the pharma reps so much and refused to have anyone tell him what to do. So I said fuck it and went back to Dr. Feelgood. He'll just give me whatever I want and tell me the dosage I'm taking of addicting drugs is "really low" but the insanely potent complex combination of drugs I'm taking is "really good". Now, I feel better.  Im ADHD, with an emphasis on the hyperactive part, and I have been off my dose for a month an half because the price increased by a factor of 5. (no kidding) I take Dexedrine everyday and have for years, I'm still treated like a criminal at most pharmacies. With out my meds my mind is pretty much scrambled eggs, I don't have any physical withdrawals, but my short term memory drops to nothing, and I have extremely low patience. In anycase I believe they are pushing this new drug called vyvance, a pro-drug version of dex. The generic should cost about 15$ for a bottle of 100, except they have manipulated the market so that it costs about as much as the new one, ~160$. The old drugs works, and I have no desire to mess with it. The last thing I want to do is hop back on the medicine-go-round, that has cost me countless productive time periods.
