      That's how I got put an a free* trial** prescription of antidepressants. That's all it took. Telling the doctor I felt sad.

      *they give out samples to doctors to hand out

      **you absolutely aren't supposed to stop cold turkey

        Same story for me. I want off these antidepressants, they don’t help, but if I don’t take them it feels like my brain is getting tiny electric shocks all day. My doctor acted like she’s never heard of this withdrawal symptom even though it looks extremely common from my google searches

          Oh yeah, brain zaps. Suffered through those when i ran out of money and had to taper off the remaining pills left over. Also the doctor who prescribed them to me seemed completely unaware that there could be any side effects when I mentioned the side effects I was experiencing.

          Finest healthcare system I'm the world. :amerikkka-clap:

      fuck big pharma but if you're telling a doctor you're feeling sad, what do you think they can do?give you a prescription for better material conditions you can take to your landlord/boss/bank?

        The doctor asks how you’ve been feeling. Anything other than “great” and they pull out the prescription pad. The doctor doesn’t have to DO anything about it, but when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

    Jesus I hate this bullshit. Meds really did change my life for the better in many ways outside of "I can't do menial tasks." I could barely speak in a way people understood, struggled to do anything I actually wanted to, averaged four hours of sleep every night, had a dangerously violent temper that lead me down a very dark path. Taking the medication has allowed me to avoid beating the shit out of people for local gangs and actually channel my energy in creative ways that I was never able to because of my attention issues.

    It's very telling when the people most against this for people that have ADHD can only relate by overdosing recreationally and reaching the conclusion that "THIS IS BASICALLY METH. MUH BIG PHARMA TRYING TO BLUE PILL US." I'm sure I would also reach an equally hyperbolic conclusion if my brain was completely addled by recreational drugs.

    Do people overdiagnose it? Yeah they do. I see it a lot in young kids that are just hyper and their parents shove pills down their throat. This is a case where the center is actually the best solution. Wait until you're old enough to give the medication a try if you even want to and see if you're even ready for them. It takes a lot of trial and error before you find the right one and some people stop at one too soon that may not be the best fit.

    Fuck these idiots overdosing on medication that helps us and reaching a dumbshit conclusion. Stick to hallucinogens if you're going to do that. At least then your delusions will be somewhat enjoyable to listen to.

        i've found it's mostly dependend on dose and what i take the amphetamine with. If i don't aim too high and avoid caffeine, it's just the kind of laser focus you want in ADHD treatment. If i snort more and throw in some caffeine, it's more like

    What happens if you take opiates without pain? What happens if you take anabolic steroids without having a muscular growth disorder? What happens if you take hormone therapy but are cisgender and have no medical issues with hormones? What happens if you take Viagra without any erectile dysfunction? What happens if I take anti inflammatory medication but have minor/no inflammation?

    Usually some form of euphoria, followed by addiction or dependency on the substance to carry out tasks that you could otherwise do without issue/minimal discomfort beforehand. And the risk of permanent damage.

    I need meds or I become Sims character and all my tasks shuffle around at random intervals. Then I pace in a circle making bird noises when I'm not crying because I have to make a 7 minute phone call.
