I clicked "no" before I realized Ritalin was on the list. I never took Ritalin but I took Aderal (sp too lazy to look it up). It didnt alter my mood though....just made me stay awake long enough to stay up 48 hours. Only did it twice. I think Vikodin altered my mood way more than Aderal. Other than those two, I havent. so really the poll is more like 11 or 12 to 13. |

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 r Ur Gawd!

Does ecstasy count as a behavioral drug? I know it is not prescription but it was originally developed to help couples who could not talk to each other...

So maybe indirectly they worked I dunno ![]() yeah, i've heard some real horror stories about acutane as far as antidepressants, i tried paxil for a short while back when i was waaay young, but was moved to wellbutrin. i've been thinking about going back on wellbutrin as of late to help me quit smoking. (Wellbutrin is also marketed as Zyban, the anti-smoking med.) I still have an active Addy prescription that I really don't take unless i need to pull an all nighter or get into serious study mode (it's only 10mg non-time released, and i usually only take half of one). I've also taken ritalin, was moved to some drug i don't remember because of a bad reaction (tick) to ritalin, that drug worked great, but i was moved off of that because kids started randomly dying (pfft whatever) to dexadrine, moved from that because of some shites along the same lines to adderall. If i decide to go on steady medication again (haven't been since i was i think 14) I'm probably going to ask for concerta, a non-amphetamine based ADD med (my sister takes it). never really believed in medicating myself, but i can understand it now. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

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). |

I don't know if there's some kind of test they could do to see what chemical make-up is better for people for what drugs, but it was definately medicinal in my situation.
made me "see" colors again. the ground thawed, and life was everywhere. gone were the ashy moans of winter. spring, she is fleeting, and grand. |

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. -------------------- Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

accutane basically made me feel like my face was a mask. My skin and lips were constantly dried to an almost hard, sort of fruit-like skin (think orange but burnt red in color), I literally walked around school like I was a fucking zombie ... I'd quite literally would pull out my pocket knife in the middle of class and start "shaving" with it just skinning the top layers of dried out skin off my face in some form of subconscious attempt to get "rid" of this shit ... In the mornings I would shave without shaving cream making sure to cut the tops off of every zit I could, then I'd wash my face in rubbing alchohol, and I wouldn't even fucking flinch ... literally. I'd just sit there and look at myself in the mirror while rubbing my open zits with rubbing alchohol ...
Once I went on that shit, I turned into a complete weirdo, literally. It was almost like over night I went from being one of the best basketball players in my school to one of the biggest losers in my school....I started taking that shit about half way through my sophomore year and stopped taking it about half way through my junior year...I had to do two "cycles" of treatment because the first one didn't work so I was on it for about a year... Anyways, I didn't do any sports at all my junior year, then about a month after I got off that shit, it was almost magical, I went "back to normal" ... I started working out playing ball again and got back on the team my sr. year, did track again, etc .... And what's fucked up is, all of this happened and I was almost completley oblivious to it. I don't think I ever *ONCE* even realized "Oh wait, this shit has completley ramrodded me" ... and neither did my parents. I guess they thought it was just teenage rebellion to wash open wounds with rubbing alchohol ![]() Sorta like the difference between being a pothead and NOT being a pothead, after you've been a pothead and quit and gotten your mind cleared outta the marajuanaholic haze, you can actually see for once what pot really does ... ![]() -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

I could never really tell the difference one way or the other. Honestly, I don't think pot's as big a deal as the stoners or the anti-stoners make it out to be. -------------------- Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

My accutane experience was, at first, great. Then it turned into a living hell...
I constantly got nosebleeds, just randomly. I would be sitting in class, taking notes, and blood would just start dripping on my desk. The sunburned feeling along with the chapped lips really made me feel wanted by everyone around me. I did have the depression problem and though it wasn't severe I think the medicine permanently messed me up. Eventually, it lead to the need for Lexapro to treat some severe headaches, at least that's what I think. The Lexapro I took wasn't given to me for depression, though there could have been ulterior motives, it was given to me to curb some headaches by thinning the blood a little. Oh, and I still get zits. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
