| Hmm, now that I think about it may not be Adderall that I'm on at the moment. Adderall might be the one that made me go bat shit insane for two weeks with insane fear of EVERYTHING. I might be on Paxil now.

| Ritalin fucked me up in ways I can't even describe. Fuck early '90s control meds.

| wow, this thread turned into something Im interested in I'm almost done with my first month of Strattera, which is afaik the only ADHD medicine that isn't a legal form of meth. It's a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, whatever the fuck that means. My problem is that for the past two weeks or so, I have been incredibly pissed off and aggressive all the time, and I don't know if its due to stress or because of this stupid medicine. Also, I probably will not be getting it next month due to the fucking ridiculous price of 330ish bucks.

| Tom Cruise, is that you? But seriously, yeah, some heavy drugs are tossed around pretty carelessly by physicians these days, because they make lots of profit for the drug companies. I was on Paxil for a while for panic attacks, and I felt way worse on it than I had before. Once I took myself off, I found ways to get my panic attacks under control. But that may not work for everyone, which is why these drugs exist in the first place. |

| Children are known to be more suicidal on anti-depressants than they were before they took them. There was a huge article and debate with the FDA on anti-depressants and kids. Wonder if I can find it.

| Yeah, I used to have those too. I'm a lot better since I started taking it though.

Many people have great life-changing success with medication that helps fix their messed up brain chemistry. Unfortunately, not everyone is the same and can be effected in quite drastically different ways. Some people might get lucky and quickly find a medication that works with little to no side effects. Some might find one that works, but has rather serious side effects. Some might go years and years trying different ones with no success at all - but this doesn't change the fact that it does work for quite a number of people. Unfortunately, I'm one of the people that nothing works for - and on top of nothing working for me, everything with the exception of Wellbutrin (which did absolutely nothing at all) had very serious and dehibilitating side effects. But I'm not jaded or stupid enough to ignore and throw out the fact that medication helps a very large number of people. | |
