Anonymous Prescription Behavior Drugs Poll Options

[cupcake]

You can embellish if you wish, but anonymous is cool to keep it as honest as possible.

Basically have you ever taken zanex, prozac, valium, ridalin, etc...prescribed by a doctor, for the intent of altering mood, relieving anxiety, helpping depression, etc.

You know the kind of drugs I'm talking about. NOT hydrocodone, which CAN alter your disposition, but whose purpose is pain relief.

Just curious. Thanks.

so far the poll shows it's 12 that have, and 17 that haven't.

my curiosity was sparked by the drinking thread that morphed into the anti/pro pot thread.

I had some rough ptsd a few years back and the only thing I took that helped me get through my super super high anxiety and fits of violence/anger was weed.

none of the VA prescribed drugs did a damn thing but cloud my personality and turn me zombie like.

like I didn't care about shit when I was on them, whereas with pot I was super motivated about school, work, working out, building a garden, being nice, happy, etc. I wrote a few stories that got published, won two academic awards, and made great life-long friends...all while unnoticably high.

I was never "addicted" to it, nor have I done it in a couple years. but it did help through a big hurdle in my personal life.

just like prescription drugs, weed has different effects on different people. for me it was positive and I attribute it with saving my life and reaffirming my belief in a benevolent god (that I have previously scorned and cast aside).
