>>43777107i take estrogen and ibuprofen when i get a headache
wellbutrindepression but its better at stabilizing my supposed undiagnosed bpd100mg but i want to see if i can get a higher dose
do you consider estrogen for dysphoria to be a psych med? if so .2mL/week of 200mg/5mL estradiol valerate
>>43777107I take some, for many things (anxiety, depression adhd, insomnia)lithium - 600mgQuetiapine - 300mgRamelteon- 10mgNortriptyline - 150mgalprazolam - 2mgvyvanse - 70 mg.when I take alprazolam I usually dont take vyvanse at the same day, it really depends on how Im feeling, the other I take them daily.
>>43777107ive been taking clonidine but only because im losing weight rn.
>>43777107inb4 everyone is on SSRIs because 1. they went into autistic burnout which got misdiagnosed as depression2. they were prescribed SSRIs pre-transition for what was actually gender dysphoria and never kicked the habitprotip: SSRIs are not shown to be effective in treating autistic burnout or gender dysphoria.
>>43777183nah i quit lexapro three years ago (the brain zaps were hell)
>>43777183OH, that might explain why I (autistic) tried everysingle SSRI out there and they didnt do shit.now I'm taking TCA, but they're still doing nothing.what helps with autistic burnout?
>>43777107WelbutrinUsed to take more, but just this nowTake for depression and whatever random disorders on my evaluation list the new psych agrees with300mg extended daily
20 mg adderall daily for adhd(usually on 30 but lowered bc of POTS125 mg lamotragine twice daily bc doc thinks i have bipolar2.5 mg daily olanzapine for depression
>>4377710744-60mg of ketamine450mg of dextrometrophan 700mg of phenibut50mg Seroquel 800mg l-theanine Not every day all at once but this is my stack nowadays
>>43777183Is autistic burnout an actual thing
>>43777107i take zoloft and ritalin. ritalin for adhd which i have and zoloft for depression something or other. few months for both. daily for both.>>43777183im probably this
>>43777107I stopped taking my pills because psychiatry is a psyop
>>43777205>OH, that might explain why I (autistic) tried everysingle SSRI out there and they didnt do shit.Similar story for me, like repeatedly, until the Ai explained to me what was actually going on. >what helps with autistic burnout?SLEEP. Lots and lots and lots of sleep. Basically your brain is exhausted from trying to rewire itself, but it's not a seratonin imbalance, it's literally just exhaustion. Depression forces the sufferer to sleep, burnout doesn't. So you have to actually take control and schedule as much sleep as you can until your brain finishes repairing itself.
>>43777245Yep. It's not formally recognized in the DSM, but it's now regularly diagnosed by autism specialists and will be in the next edition (whenever that is).
>>43777107I just took my olanzapine (atypical anti-psychotic)I started taking it because seroquel stopped working within a week. It's usually to treat schizophrenia or bipolar but I'm on it since I have treatment-resistant severe anxiety. Been through 6 different anti-anxieties that all did literally nothing. I'm pretty sure I need benzos but literally no one will prescribe benzos anymore, I only get them when I'm inpatientOh yeah and also the sertraline for depression That made me stop sobbing multiple times a day pretty quick so that was nice, but it is harder to cum now
>>43777256>SLEEP. Lots and lots and lots of sleep.fuck I cant sleep for shit, I'm the >>43777175even with all that I cant sleep more than 6 hours with very irregular sleep patterns, and its been like 8 years, I'm screwed then?
I've taken so many drugs and medications I can't possibly list them all. I've tried every adhd medication, I used to use a lot of DXM, most mainstream antidepressants, cyclazodone, memantine, every *racetam, most nootroopics and tons of supplements, bromantane, phenibut, 4f-phenibut, benzos, kratom, caffeine, nicotine, forskolin, low dose naltrexone, microdosing psychedelics, plus a million things nobody has ever heard of like TAK-653, NSI-189, PRL-8-53, N-Acetyl-Tryptophan, HBT-1, Nooglutyl, Rubidium Chloride, Amantadyl Carbonyl Proline, Tropisetron, Norbinaltorphimine, the list goes on and on. Half the shit I tried to "fix" me I don't even remember because I gave up and became an alcoholic and forgot so much. Everything is a blur now, my life is shit, kill me. No pill or powder will fix you nona
>>43777282Well some of that stuff is going to be fucking with your sleep, so there's that. In the meantime, just do your best. Take naps. And if you really can't sleep do stuff that's really restful. Don't watch heavy TV or study or anything like that. Just sit quietly and paint or draw or play a no-brain phone game, shit like that.
>>43777322>tried to "fix" me I don't even remember because I gave up and became an alcoholic and forgot so much. Everything is a blur now, my life is shitSame
>>43777107I take 40mg of prozac daily. Started taking it because I wanted to kill my libido and get rid of the obsessive "am I a trutranny or just a mentally deranged cis man" thoughts. Any reduction in depression and anxiety were more afterthoughts. >>43777183Nah I fell for the ssri meme after I'd already tried HRT, not autistic either.
>>43777322>gave up and became an alcoholicSame but damn you tried a lot more than I didJust got out of my second detoxI should probably go to rehab this time
>>43777183SSRIs don't work for most people, there's nothing special about autists.
>>43777346>some of that stuff is going to be fucking with your sleepyeah there's like a few weeks since I last took vyvanse due to it messing with my sleep. I cant study or work for shit without it. well it ends up working out if what you say is correct about resting, but I was thinking It would be able to cure trough a medicine or soemthing like that.
>>43777107i used to take zoloft and abilify but it literally sucked so i stoppedi just do like vitamins magnesium fish oil and expensive imported chinese teasu have to get addicted to online shopping and self care and exercise
>What do you take?I actually just started on Sertraline a few weeks (I’m guessing that’s how you say it in English ~.~) I’m doing fine so far, no major side effects, which is comfortingg>Why did you start taking it?I’d been on citalopram for almost a year, but it wasn’t doing all that I needed it to do.>How much and how often do you take it?I take 50mg daily right now, but I’m projected for 100 :3Obviously I’m still in the starting phase, but I’m kind of excited to see how this turns outtt
>>43777107I am not on psychiatric medication and have never been. I am very fortunate in this regard.
>>4377710710 mg lexapro, 50 mg propranolol,10 mg clonidine. Started when i was 15 mostly due to stress of coming out/school. Before that I was on zoloft for 2 years and it sucked.I also smoke like 0.5-1 gram of dabs daily to help with my general bitchiness/bpd whatever you wanna call it also alcohol and nic on the weekends and shrooms when i can afford them. These are purely recreational.
>>43777183when i stop taking my zoloft i either cheat on my bf or try to rope lol im dependent
escitalopram 20mgi dont know why i take it i dont think it does anything and im scared of side effects like hair loss happening
>>43777107depression since 13, never took ssri. I dont trust shrinks and their meds.
>>43777107I don’t take any drugs I’m good and healthy. Doing my master thesis on quantum photonics right now X3
>>43777107I've been off my meds for like a month or two. I feel hyper constantly but my mood got better so idk. People can TELL I'm unmedicated, that's how different I am without them.
>>43777107I am one of the divine trannies that has a stable mental state (so far) and don't require any medications >:D
>>43777107>What do you take?EscitalopramLurasidone>why did you start taking it?I had a psychotic episode and was diagnosed with bipolar with psychotic features.>How much and how often do you take it?20 MG twice a day for the former and 80 MG once a day for the latter.
I probably have ADHD or something but I missed the window where it was really easy to get an adult diagnosis so all I have is "treatment resistant depression". Currently on a low dose of Prozac which is the 6th one I've tried and it's been fairly helpful at reducing anxiety/OCD tendencies but I'm still a neet, actually feel like it kinda saps my motivation to do anything even more.
Vortioxetine for depression and anxiety Been on some kind of antidepressant for about 15 years. Been depressed sice I was 15, probably something to do with the grooming and a childhood diddling
>>43777107I take 40mg of extended release lisdexamphetamine (i.e. Vyvanse) but nothing else. Thank god I never got on SSRIs that shit is awful.
>>43777183>SSRIs are not shown to be effective in treating...anything
>>43777107i've been taking lexapro (20mg a day) and lamotrigine (100mg) daily for like over a year for a while now and honestly think they help a lot, i don't even feel like 10% of the psycho i was before.
>>43777107bupropion extended release 300mg, estradiol enanthate 4mg/wk, occasional methamphetamine oral (15mg max)>>43777153>>43777207omg wellbutrin twinning!>>43777322holy /r/nootropics and /r/researchchemicals, ily nona and i hope everything in your life can work out in your favor ^_^
im supposed to be on 300mg seroquel er and 300mg lamotrigine but im currently tapering off because i cant afford a psychiatrist. i had a major shift in life values after taking meds, no one is going to save me and i just have to keep moving one step at a time
bump
>>43781725>omg wellbutrin twinning!basedid want to take zoloft and adderall as well if i got the chance
Medications are not a permanent solution They're an emergency power source to get your engines running again
>>43777107xanax 0.5mg 1-2x/day (a half is usually enough) for diagnosed panid disorder and agoraphobiaalso hydrocodone around the clock for my fractured/deformed spine; joint damage everywhere; and abdominal pain from my bowel disease that led to the other problems
I started Adderall a couple years ago and now I live in my car and I'm in a lot of debt. So I don't really know what's wrong with me anymore
nothing rn bcus psyche meds all suck. i've been on a bunch of stuff in the past. they couldn't figure out what was up w me for a long time so had me try a bunch of anti depressants/anxieties and mood stabilisers. but i got a schizo dx earlier this year so i guess that settled that. the absolute worst med i've been on was abilify. kaizo levels of anxiety from that one.
>>43777107Vyvanse 40 mg in the morning and Guanfacine 1 mg in the evening. I have ADHD and intense social anxiety. ADHD makes it easier for me to physically move my lazy ass. Guanfacine stabilizes my emotions somewhat, makes it somewhat easier for me to endure emotional discomfort, reduces my behavioural impulsivity, and helps me to fall asleep at night. One unpleasant side effect of G is that I can’t have an orgasm anymore: I can cum and shoot ropes, but it doesn’t feel good at all; if anything it feels unpleasant. This is just as well though because I’ve wanted for years now to stop mindlessly jacking off but have never been able to until now (because there’s no reward to doing it now)
>>43789786Shit I meant that Vyvanse makes it easier for me to physically move my lazy ass lmao
>>43777896>>43789184>abilify look at my cool ass pen
