Hi hi. I'm new. My best friend recently lamented how they wished we could have one normal year for once. I shook my head and wished the same with them. I live in SoCal. Started taking antidepressants on the election week last year and wasn't sure if it was side effects or I was just sick from the results. After two months it was evident I needed a dosage adjustment. The week I upped my dosage my home ended up half a mile from one of the LA fire evacuation zones and 14 families of friends lost everything. SO... all in all I am not sure I'm ever going to know if the antidepressants are working. As my other friend on antidepressants said, "Melp... you picked a crazy time to start fixing your mental health." Anyway, hey. Glad to finally be here with you all.
Welcome. I wish it were under better circumstances. I know well the pain of trying to find the right meds -- it can take years and is unlikely to be useful if treatment-resistant. I'm not going to make suggestions, as you're likely just finding out whether an SSRI/SNRI is working, I will point out that the purpose of U.S.-based medicine is to make sure you never get better and have to keep paying because, somehow next month ...
Thank you. Definitely hear that on the western medicine model. Hoping I'm not medicine resistant but a lot of my friends are. Honestly, not looking for a miracle. Just some friggin wiggle room.
I found some success with psilocybin. For about six months, life seemed manageable again.
I've heard raving reviews with some of my friends on mushrooms. I am currently on lexapro. The initial dosage wasn't doing shit for me but this new adjustment seems to perhaps be lifting the curtain. If all else fails I'll give mushrooms a try.
I never went raving on shrooms, but I certainly danced on them to way better music since!
Lol I uhh... when I was a teenager I was taking them a lot. One fine night I was admiring the full moon from a park by my house and then it popped into my head that the full beautiful bright moon might also be a meteor coming in for the kill. Worst trip ever, lol. I haven't done a full dose since. That being said, I did micro dose on a chill countryside trip to Colombia and that was ok.
Dang I guess Majoras Mask will do that to a person. Valid conclusion to come to tbh lol
Set and setting. You're going to have a completely different trip based on your mindset and physical location. I tripped a few times in college, but that was just for fun and a minor ingredient for my drug use at the time. Therapeutic use is quite different, and I reorganized my whole apartment ahead of my first trip to make sure nothing around me could make it go bad.
Hi, welcome! Have a digital hug 🫂
Thank you, love.
