I have an anxiety disorder, and the shitty as Lorazepam my doctor gives me is weak and shit and i have to take 4x the prescribed dose to work. and i feel kind of shitty on it.

I'm thinking about self medicating my depression/anxiety with opiates and benzos mixed. Thoughts? since it related to mental health. I just fucked up my chances with the only girl i've gotten along with in about 4 years by saying dumb shit so i may have bad judgment right now.

I have acess to Ultram and Vicodin and Lorazepam. and Alcohol.

You could try telling this to your doctor. After all, he's a doctor.

Valid point but I don't want to go on SSRIs. And i dunno if he'll give me Xanax since im 18. And it costs money, when i can just steal opiates from my dad.

the ignorance of mental conditions in this board is astounding.

op
TELL YOUR DOCTOR YOUR MEDS AREN'T WORKING. and if you don't want an ssri tell him and if possible get generics, they do not cost as much.

Some people actually need anti depressants, I'll grant you. Maybe 1 in 250 people that take them. What people need to realize is that it's just like pot or alcohol or anything else that people use to make themselves happy. Some people have the association that: "Ok, if I use drugs I'm a coward who can't cope with life but if I use antidepressants I am treating a mental illness". Not true. And don't say "chemical imbalance", it's not like they can actually test for that. Everyone feels unhappy sometimes, it's not anything special. Antidepressants are a scam, and don't say I don't know anything about mental illnesses, my mom took antidepressants for years, and trust me, they didn't help.

most anxiety disorders are due to surroundings and events as opposed to genetics, meaning that meds are an easy quick fix

if it's weak it's probably prescribed weak for a reason, talk to you doctor about it, however.

BUT

get over yourself, get out and talk to people no matter how bad it is. the more you do it the better,start by going to places where people will never see you again, if you think people think your weird or you think you said something dumb, it's probably not true. do esteem able things to get some self esteem, thus obtaining confidence. stop mulling over every single thing you said, as peoples memories are very short, especially if it doesn't directly involve them.

also, if you ruined a relationship over saying dumb shit, it wasn't going to happen anyways. trust me, I've ruined many relationships this way, life goes on, find someone better, there is always someone better.

I know a lot of shit I just said sounds cliche, but it's true

oh btw, in my life time I've been diagnosed (whether any of them are proper diagnosis is debatable) with ADHD, Severe Depression, and OCD. Tried pills, and it worked, but I wanted to work issues out on my own. It's NOT easy, but I've made xbox leaps and bounds and feel better about myself for doing so.

pills will fuck your mental processes up BAD, they essentially make you think slower and dumb down your EQ. Take in moderation, and sleep at the proper times.

And stay the FUCK away from depressing shit. Find happy stuff and STICK to those.

it has been shown over and over again, that there is a BIG genetic and hereditary link. however, the triggers are environmental.
It is a disease, not an injury.

it is just as unhealthy for someone who is on medication, ESPECIALLY antidepressants, to abruptly stop taking them, as it is for someone who doesn't need them to take them.

Lorazepam is basically a sedative. Have you tried a SSRI? I have anxiety and Lexapro pretty much kicks its ass even on minimum dose.

What is it exactly that fucks you up when you abruptly stop taking them. I take lower then the reccomended dose, and forget to take them somtimes. Also, I don't FEEL any slower. MY sex drive remains, it's just it takes a LOT longer and lot more to get me off xD
