Honestly I would see someone who went to medical school to deal with a medical problem. Your liver is an organ and if it was failing we would go to a doctor. The brain is an organ. Depression isnt will power, it is chemical. These are drugs Kratom or Kanna being recommended same as cannibis may be as well. Thing is while yes they are drugs they are not proven means of decades worth of scientific research. Neuroscience and psychiatry are real sciences and asking forum how to deal with a medical issue......is........ I understand it when it comes to using anabolics as a doc is hard pressed to answer such questions as it may cause them to lose their license. This is not the case with mental illness.

Nice to see people give a shit on this forum. Im glad I joined. You'll work it out man. A lot of close family members including my mom and wife have been dealing with these issues for a long time. All I gotta say is be careful going down the medicine rabbit hole. A lot of those drugs have bad side effects...

First off your not being a bitch!! Don't put yourself down because your only making things worse for yourself. Your life is worth living. Quick story that no one knows but my wife and doctors. When I was medically discharged from the USAF after 16 years I was lost. I was an elite Air Force Commando and was in tears everyday(some badass huh). I came home and for 6 months straight I sat in a chair in front of our front door with a loaded shotgun. I thought Al Qaeda fighters were going to break in to my home and try and hurt my family. I started to drink heavily for a few months before my wife dragged me to a doctor for help. I was suicidal at this point. I was put on Zoloft like @puckhog and xanax. The Zoloft made me numb to everything and my dick refused to work on it. At this point I stopped the Zoloft and began therapy. I also reached out to friends in the Defense Dept. who got me a great job. I am still on xanax as needed. I also wasn't discharged for mental illness. I cracked to discs in my back on a military free fall jump. In a nutshell mental illness can attack anyone no matter how manly they think they are. I hope you reach out to a doctor like you did to us. There is zero shame in doing so. I also have a incredible wife who stood by me along with my savior Jesus Christ(didn't mean to get religious on you). You realize your post has probably helped others and now I urge you to get help. Keep us updated and never give up. My thoughts are with you as you struggle with this. Good luck brother. PM me anytime you feel like you need to talk. Best wishes bud.

@Nicolaus I would not hesitate using doctor prescribed drug for your issues. As far as the side effects, you will not know unless you try the meds. They could be life changing for you. If you cant tolerate the side effects (if any) then you can always come off. Most providers will start you off at a low dose anyways to see if you have a reaction.

A lot of the members posts sound scary but I hope they won't deter you from the pharmaceutical route if thats what you choose. They worked wonders for me.

For me learning my triggers and not doing the norm. I can't work a 9-5. It would throw me into a state of depression and make me bored as shit.

That is the fucking truth my man

 

[SauceBoss]

I battle anxiety from PTSD .. it's the worst I have just been dealing with it the past few years because really for me the only thing that had worked was klonopin and Xanax .. and we all know where that gets ya .. it's all about coping finding ways around it without isolating yourself and a lot of mental work between you and yourself .. I don't know if I'll ever go back to the benzos but ill cross that bridge if it ever gets worse ..

Agree with this,but how to know if issue is a consequence of my job/study?
I mean,law college can implicate an severus depressed state,this is the reality of many.Living of the stimulants.A bad story.

*Explaining "(sides)" in terms of psycology no seems a smart way.There are many factors in this issues

 

[bigsho]

I was dealing with depression the last few years and I tried several different anti anxiety/ depression meds through my doc. Paxil worked best for me and felt better within a few weeks. But I had sexual sides (tough time finishing which my wife enjoyed but not me so much) and I felt tired all the time after a few months. Best bet is to see a doctor and see what works for you. As u can see many of us here differ in what helps you. A real doc is the only person you should get advice from and have it supervised by them. But try to stay away from xanax and such if you don't want to take long term and have to deal w addiction issues (possibly)

Get a "wellness check" aka "physical" done by your doctor most insurances cover it. They will take your bloods check you out with blood pressure and all that good stuff. It's not really an answer to your anxiety concern but I start breaking things down sorta like you would a cycle. Make sure your values are in good shape your body is running on all cylinders so you can start checking things off. Use the pills as a last result because it's not really gonna solve the issue but more or less block it. The side effects are gonna vary depending on the drug but what goes up must come down. Only YOU can determine how to over come your depression Pfizer can just sell you the alternative.

I have heard of students using adderal frequently as an "upper" but this medication is different than a depression/anxiety med. I think this may be what you are referring to. If not, please correct me.

 

[ddp7]

Well I have a lot of respect to the psyquiatric drugs.I saw the of my young brother with neuroleptics and you say God this shit is really dangerous.In fact the med told"well you have a little mania,your not depressed,take this".And the bastard gave me a drug very similar to my young brotherbut with a less power.That was his awesome plan.

Seems to be proviron is my only one.Jesus i dont wanna fucked up like my little brother.After all I CAN thinking in my problem very rationally.

Jesus no way man,no drugs here.

People here,take some modafinil and methylphenidate.And cafeine of course.

Wellbutrin is pretty common aka bupropion. I worked in a pharmacy and seems like it's prescribed often along with escitalopram (lexapro) linsopril for bp and atorvaststin for cholestorol.

I eat depression for breakfast. That, with a cup of black coffee.

 

[MANWHORE]

Ok so sorry I feel asleep so early..

This kanna extract made me tired as hell I'd probably get the same effect from a xanax

BUT red vein kratom from moon kratom gets me nice and mellow..
still gives energy I guess because it lifts my mood
