Altec, Diego... man, oh man!
I'll see you guys 😁

Catch you later 😁

Besides, most of us are already high or on some kind of prescription therapy anyway... so, honestly... there's nothing left to fear! 🙂

Honestly, speaking of which, I’m practically drooling from my Lexapro and I keep stuttering when I talk—I feel super sluggish and just generally slowed down, you know?

So yeah, things really couldn't get much worse than they are with me. 🥳

Gerald Torres2 said:Alex !!! 🎉
There are no excuses...🙂

I don't know about me, but I'm with her on this one. 😂

Ethan Mendoza4 said:No, for real though.
I've got 62 miles left before I head to Washington, D.C.—broke as hell and facing a final exam in 10 days.

I'm in the exact same boat, except my exam isn't for another two weeks. So, I'll probably be heading 😳

I can't say for certain just yet, but I’ll definitely give it my best shot. 😁

Gerald Torres2 said:I'm definitely in! Not like I have anything better to do with my life... 🤣🤣🤣
Once someone actually decides on the when and where... assuming I don't forget. My memory is basically like my grandmother's (she's battling Alzheimer's)....

Hmm, maybe I should join in too. 😁

Gerald Torres2 said:🎉 Count me in! Seriously, can I get in on this too? 😍

Honestly, you guys are clearly missing my constant rambling... 🙂 😬

If you’re actually going, I might just have to tag along. 😳
I just need to scrape some cash together for a ticket first. ☕

hiddenwalker30, are you down? Or maybe Medo or Altec?

No, no. That didn't come out right at all. I really wasn't trying to attack anyone, I was just speaking my mind.

I’m sorry, I phrased that poorly. 🙂

Elizabeth Green132 said:A few days ago, my doctor put me on a regimen consisting of 2 mg of Xanax and 20 mg of Effexor to tackle some depression and anxiety I've been dealing with.
I'm curious if anyone here has experience running both of these at the same time, specifically regarding how risky it is to combine them and what kind of side effects I should actually be bracing for.
Regarding side effects, I did bother to read through the official patient information leaflet that came in the box, but honestly, it mostly lists those rare, one-in-a-million occurrences, not to mention that several things my doctor warned me about weren't even mentioned in the fine print. So, if anyone out there has been on this specific combo, could you tell me which side effects actually pop up most frequently—if they happen at all—because my doctor clearly didn't have the patience to give me a detailed breakdown of how effective these are or what to expect.
Furthermore, is it even necessary for me to be using Xanax? From what I understand, it's a pretty heavy-duty medication typically reserved for the most severe cases, and I feel like I fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. I'm genuinely worried that taking something that potent might end up doing more harm than good.
I also really want to know how much these drugs actually help in terms of treating and managing depression and anxiety in the long run. Does anyone have any real-world experience with how well they work?

You've got it a little bit wrong—Xanax is an anxiolytic, so it isn't used for the most extreme cases of depression.
It might be worth doing a little more digging on that.

Larry Lewis said:Here we have someone who gets genuinely depressed when a thread starts to fade into obscurity—it’s almost poetic, really. Where is everyone else? Given my circle of similarly unhinged friends, I'd wager they're all currently checked into a psychiatric ward somewhere in the Midwest.😢

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. 🤷

Why specifically Chicago?
I mean, why would anyone trek all the way into the city from somewhere like 56 miles out in the suburbs? 🥳

Right? 🍿

Bluza, hope you're doing well. 🥳

I'll just shoot it over to you via DM.

Come on, fadedbear92, check your DMs for the photo.

Wait, only one photo landed in my inbox?! What are you all waiting for? Come on!
🥳

Could you send those photos over via DM?
Thanks so much.

Carl Rivera43 said:So, if anyone’s actually feeling it, we can try to put something together.

Maybe even this weekend, or maybe next?

Just let me know what you guys are thinking so we can settle on something. 🥳

Is it possible that my psych meds are causing memory gaps?
Sometimes I feel like I’m losing chunks of my day... just blanking out completely.

Here is what I'm currently taking:
Azolar 30mg, Leponex 150mg, Xanax 1.5mg, Fluzepam 50mg

Has anyone here tried taking Al Gore?
Curious to hear about your experiences.
