yup doctors are evil
You all should be very proud of yourself. You have taken control of your body and realized it is called a Dr's practice for a reason. They practice on us and I am sick of being the lab rat.
3 years ago I took control of my life.
The list of medications I have been on would scare most people to death.
As of late, here was my list and now what is going on:
Cymbalta .....for pain and depression GONE
Lorazapam .....for anxiety and sleep...... 1 maybe every 3-4 days now instead of 2 every night.
Kadian.......for pain ...... GONE
Lithium......for stabiliazation from the effects of the pain ..... GONE
Oxycodone ...for pain...... 1 every now and then for breakthrough pain
Zonegram.....for the demylenation in my brain ...... GONE (almost killed me, allergic)
Prednisone......for God only knows...... GONE
Fen Patch.......Pain......GONE
Visteral.......for nausea......GONE
So, right now I take an occassional oxycodone for breakthrough pain and MMJ.
What do you call the guy/gal who graduates in medical school at the bottom???
DR.!!
I went through a period like that 2 where they took me off effexor and tried me on 3 or 4 different medications. It was a bad time of my life becuz I wasnt really thinking as myself so I couldnt stop and think normally and try to take control of it by myself. None of them worked that good and they finally put me back on effexor for probly a year. After another year I stopped taking effexor 2.
The withdrawal from effexor and the others was pretty bad and lasted maybe 2 weeks it felt like a really bad hangover. After a couple months I started to feel like my normal self again. I had been on different medications for 3 years strait so it was good to be clean. All of that took place during my high school days so u can imagine how shitty goin to high school was for me lol. but I did have fun skipping high school and doing little things so it wasnt all bad lol.
I should have stopped over a period of time but I stopped cold turkey and thought I would be ok lol. Effexor wasnt 2 bad and it helped me the most but I still dont like being on medications. I told my doctor I was quitting it and he said it wasnt a good idea and I should gradually reduce it but I quit anyway. The withdrawal was bad but not 2 bad. Im fine now so it all turned out good, now I just have my good days and bad days.
Nice to see u again too Lacy.
Me too I hate depression, I moved to Spain to be with my girlfriend but now I can get more Sun in the winter. I was better last year, its lovely here, it can get cold and the days are short but sometimes you can sit on the beach and read in the sun in the middle of winter (fully clothed though), fantastic.My prozacs dont do Shit anymore. 20 mg of prozac... i need to up my dose cuz im falling back into deprssion.. or is it because of this clock in my head?? during winter iget depressed. it sucks. i smoke more then usual=) Peace

I crashed and burned at work a few years back and went into depression, it was a scary place, I knew I was down but I couldn't pull myself out. Tai Chi helped me but now I am full on Martial with Taekwon-do I love it and no sign of depression at all this year for me
Now all I need to do is find the perfect strain to help me relax and sleep, my sativa is like bloody ectasy teehee
All the best
Whoa man this is like reading a post I've wanted to type but I was too afraid to.....I have had those same damn issues to battle with....the kicker is the physical crap.....hydrocephalus and cerebral palsy....not to mention the psycological garbage.....At a young age i was diagnosed with Severe Depressive Disorder, Borderline Bipolar, and Severe Anxiety.
At a young age, about 10years old i found myself very sad, angry, and i would have constant thoughts about death. I never knew why i was like this, and even when i tried to escape these thoughts i was never able too.
Also, everytime i would be around a group of mre than 4 or 5 people i would be come very nervous, fidgety, i would loose my breath, break out in a sweat, and feel like i was about to pass out.
I was like this everyday. Every single day.
Oneday, a few years later i was finally taken to a doctor for these reasons i told my mom about.
I was prescribed a few medications, wich i never felt as if they worked.
Some of them made me feel nothing, some of them made me gain weight, some of them made me loose weight, some of them would make me fall asleep 15minutes after i took them.
I was on and off meds for years.
Then i found marijuana.
Ever since i have found marijuana i havnt had anyof these problems.
It(marijuana) has truthfully helped me, and i will be eternily gratefull for it.
I am a happy healthy person now.
I can get up in the morning and know that i do not have to feel like i used to.
I can go into a public place with 20,000 people in it, and feel fine.
All because of Cannabis.
I can smoke a bowl or two, and be okay for that whole day, and most of the time the next day.
As long as cannabis is in my system...i am okay.
Marijuana, Cannabis, Weed, Pot, Reefer, Herb, Ganja..ETC
This plant truley is a great gift.
It get more depressed in the winter months 2 some seasonal shit I think. But the winter is a good change since it was hot and sunny for so long it got kind of old. I smoked a strain that was perfect for me before, but 2 bad I didnt know what strain it was lol. All I know is that it was some kind of Kush. I think Romulan, White Widow, and Kushes are probly the best kinds for me.
Buddy_Williams, thats bad that u tried to commit suicide at age 6, most ppl dont try that shit until there a teenager. I went thru a rough time in my life 2 but never tried to kill myself and Im glad I didnt becuz life is a privilege. I have bad anger problems and depression but weed definelty helps to get rid of the anger.
excellent post Lacy. you have elaborated on some interesting details that certainly ring true for me. I have had huge anger issues that have gone unchecked, and cuased significant trouble for me. I have contemplated suicide often, though not that much now in the last while. Weed has always been my "leveler". Its almost humurous that something so beneficial is the same thing we all have to slink around in the background for to gain the benefit - and with some accepted risk of the consequences if caught.
Exactly.
Thanks Tahoe.
Have a good day my friend.
u too Lacy. we have -16C this morning.....its been quite cold and uncomfortable, especially with the windchills. we also have snow but not as much as you guys got dumped. I guess its winter eh?! hahahahaha....have yourself a wonderful day......
