i recently started taking medication very bad anxiety, depression, and bi-polar. i just want to say that im doing much better now. if you feel liek shoot, there IS help out there in the right hands. dont give up. that is all. and dont listen to any of this goth kid fairy tale bullshoot. personality disorders dont make you cool. trust me i know how much of an ass i acted at times.

Wow. They gave my dad bad medicine after his heart-attack, so he stopped taking it and he's still alright now.

The only thing beneficial that mind-altering drugs did for me was allow me to compose half a song... and that was after several days of substantial overdoses.

I've taken anti-depressants for many years now and, believe me, I am much better than I was before.

EDIT: It did take several years of taking different kinds before I found the one that worked best for me though.

Did you ever try the meditation funk? That's what got me going.

Pills usually have a lot of side-effects that the doctors won't tell you about. In my opinion, only the most extreme cases should bother with them.

Pills usually have a lot of side-effects that the doctors won't tell you about.

That and the fact that most people develop a level of tolerance to anti-depressants after around 3 to 6 months requiring the dosage to upped or the drug to be changed.

As a means of saving lives and improving lifestyle they can be effective in the short term more than the long term. Long term treatment usually involves therapy of some sort... getting to the root of the problem.

well the roots of my problem was from when i was a baby so have fun with that.

I've contemplated asking about medication for ADD (or ADD-like problems anyway, I haven't officially been declared as such)... but I've held out on it, for whatever reason.

Maybe you just couldnt...ya know...pay attention long enough?

Seriously Tal no offense, but I couldnt resist. I have all the sympathy for you friend.

Sounds like you could be making some pyschiatrist or pyschologist rich then

i could make a lot of pyscguatrists filthy fudgeing ich trust me just look at me nobody would ever figure out what the hell was going on and i would just sit there spewing out shoot about how turtles are so much faster than other sea mammals

Well, turtles ARE cool.But fast?

You know what pills are the coolest?The ones that Alice has.Some make you small and some make you tall and ... ah never mind.

I had a turtle that ran away.

I think it all really depends on the situation. There are a lot of doctors out there who will prescribe anything for the smallest symptom, but there are also cases where the medicine may genuinely be useful. Sadly, it's up to us to figure out who is the charlatan, which can be no easy task in the realm of medicine.

theres a cure for cancer and a way to permantly prevent it but its banned from the united states. sadly our country is also the highest % rate of cancer victims in the world. quite facinating isnt it?

Not really. The US accept more crap than they accept medicines.

is it something involved in taking people to where they're almost dead, giving them a couple months to recover, and then doing it over and over again...i've heard of some guy recovering like this, some famous biker, i think his last name was Armstrong...

Umm... could you site some sources on this, please?

I think he might mean therapeutic cloning. You could get stem cells out of embryos. And treat people with them. But cloning is forbidden in the US.

Hey Joshriot I once saw a program saying those sea turtles can temporarily swim at 35-40 mph. Thats fast.

Chrispy that is hilarious. Someone quote him saying "Chrispy: Slowest Person in Existence".
