Lately it's been extended release dexidrine but I'm quitting again lol! I begin to get run down and start to have psychosis and sleep deprivation. The lady refused to prescribe some downers to manage the going to sleep issue. I never misused the downers but sometimes I really need them to be able to sleep.

I've been prescribed venlafaxine and quetiapine, they don't seem to be helping much though. Used to drink all the time and take any drugs I could get my hands on, but now I only smoke weed. It helps my anxiety a little bit.

Alcohol. Mainly whisky. It calms me down and let me go to sleep. More than willing to try other things.

It's not helping me either, I was on sertraline before those. Doesn't seem like any drugs can help me.

I tried sertaline but within a week it made me feel nothing and well forget sex because u will likely have dysfunction. It might be useful if u want to remove your ability to feel anything and kill desire for intimacy lol! Is it worth it? Maybe if u need to basically shut down those other desires and tolerate misery better.

I've been on amitriptyline (for pain/sleep, not so much the antidepressant bit - my doctor figured if it at least helped ONE thing we'd be alright) for maybe two years at this point, being able to sleep is cool but that's about it.

I used to self-medicate with weed too. But, it made me paranoid(well, more paranoid) as well. Now, I don't do anything and suffer.

I'm not brave enough to try harder drugs because I don't want an addiction, as that's just another problem which is the last thing I need. I honestly don't know what to do.

I just have to beg people, please, if you don't need pain medication for actual pain, please don't take it. So many pain patients are being punished because of people who are buying drugs off the street and overdosing. The FDA and the CDC are cracking down on doctors to take their pain patients off the pain medication or they want them to severely lower it. So people who truly need this medication to live their lives are being denied it because of people accidentally overdosing off of drugs they buy on the street. Or people that go to doctors and get pills aren't taking them properly snd accidentally overdosing. Please don't be the reason that people who are in brutal pain aren't getting their meds. This isn't a joke. It's a very serious issue that I just thought I'd bring up.

Its not peoples fault its the drug pharmacies in the USA that push opiates. If a suicidial person takes opiates for relief its really not your business to tell them they shouldnt take it. Some opiates are prescribed to suicidial people.

Weed, kratom, tizanidine. My doctor refuses to prescribe anything stronger because of my age. (The Tizanidine, a muscle relaxer), but I am suffering bad. Mostly semi tolerable if I use all of those at once.

No, I stopped since I do Dianabol and testosterone (steroids) and I also go to the gym.
I stopped using weed, benzos, stopped risperidone like 4 months ago...
I still have DMT, or 5-meo-DMT, which is the most powerful psychodelic, I want to use it, but im also little afraid of using it.. that shit is so strong!!!

In other words, I do dianabol and testo now, and I dont need other drugs to feel better, I'm fine like I am now. I only wish I can continue like this and my doctor and blood samples are okay, doctor says since we use a small dosis we can continue until mid November just as I am doing, well then get bee blood samples and then re-asses, cool, at least few morenwreks of doing fine :)

I've attempted to medicate with weed. Once. Once was enough, tyvm. Twelve years ago weed was great, but now it's super strong, and my meds probably added something to the effect. Unpleasant.

I take Zoloft, wellbutrin, and abilify. Seems to do nothing except take away my ability to masturbate. Family says they see an improvement in me. But I dont feel one. Hopefully something will help me sooner rather than later.
