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.

Acutane -- Never ever *EVER* go on this shit.

Basically, acne causes depression, right? So you are supposed to take acne medicine to be cured of depression ultimatley right? Ok well acutane cures acne within 6 months, however, it also makes you fucking fucked up depressed in the head you don't even realize how fucked up you truly were from it till 3 years after you've been off of it. At least that's pretty much what happened to me. *NEVER* go on this shit.

With that said, at one point I tried Paxil and then Zoloft, and all it did was turn me into a zombie, *BUT*, actually being "one of those people" who was weak enough to take that shit made me finally pull my fucking head out of my ass and stop being such a fucking loser and get back on the right track in life and it made me realize that I didn't need those drugs at all I just needed to pull my head out of my ass.

So maybe indirectly they worked I dunno

I did acutane. Didn't make me depressed, but it sure as hell sucked having chapped lips (from the acutane that is) and a permanent sunburn.

I've never really taken any kind of anti-depressants, but I've never really been depressed to the point where it was necessary. I used to have a bit of social phobia, but I've never really taken drugs for it.
