Psychotropic medication discussion thread in Psychology & Therapy ·
Benjamin Martin65 said:I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether it's actually safe to take Lexapro and Valium at the same time?

Technically, you can, but honestly, it's completely redundant.
To kill or not to kill? in Philosophy ·
No. Because you wouldn't just take out a single person. :-(
Furthermore, you possess a moral compass. Whether you choose to believe it or not, a person doesn't refrain from killing another simply to avoid a prison sentence; they do it because they have an internal sense of morality that dictates such an act is fundamentally wrong.
Feeling ashamed of failing in front of others in Psychology & Therapy ·
I struggle with that exact same issue, though I haven’t actually failed an assignment yet. It’s more that the moment I see a grade dip even slightly below an A,
it starts weighing on me heavily...

I simply made the decision to stop taking them altogether. I had been taking two tablets every single day, but then I reached a point where I decided to just quit cold turkey. To my surprise, I didn't experience any unusual side effects or anything out of the ordinary at all.

Good grief! Physical punishment as a divine mandate? That is absolute nonsense! By that ridiculous logic, we might as well claim that depressed children committing suicide are also some sort of heavenly blessing!!
Only parents who are deeply miserable and perpetually frustrated advocate for corporal punishment; they cling to it because it’s the only way they can feel a fleeting sense of superiority while striking their children. But mark my words: those children don't actually respect you—they are simply terrified of you. And fear is a temporary state. Once that terror fades and they finally grasp the reality of what you've done to them, they will walk away. They will leave you behind, and frankly, they'll be well within their rights to do so!

I have a question of my own—is it possible to experience increased sweating as a side effect of Anafranil? This kind of perspiration has NEVER been an issue for me before.

To be perfectly honest, I consume quite a lot, so I wouldn't say anything is particularly bothering me at the moment.

Yes, I told her exactly what was on my mind. Even though it left me feeling incredibly awkward and exposed, I didn't back down.
The uncomfortable truth is that I find myself wanting to cause some harm... :-(
OCD: General Discussion Thread in Psychology & Therapy ·
I have a question. If, for example, I am constantly tidying up and organizing things, but if too much stuff accumulates—or if the mess just becomes overwhelming—then I end up creating an even larger mess than before.
Does this have any connection to this disorder?

What kind of trouble am I looking at if I decide to drink alcohol while I'm on Prozac?
Psychotropic medication discussion thread in Psychology & Therapy ·
My personal take on the matter is that these pills aren't going to be the silver bullet I need; the issue isn't merely a biological deficit in serotonin production, but rather my fundamental perception of the world itself. I am increasingly convinced that nothing short of intensive psychotherapy will actually move the needle for me.

Look, at the end of the day, it’s the psychiatrist who calls the shots—she claims she knows best. She told me my current dosage is far too low and promised that ramping it up would finally make things better.
Honestly, I couldn't care less about her medical theories when it comes to the fact that my liver is going to take a massive hit because of it.

Why on earth would you assume she possesses even a shred of mental stability?
Psychotropic medication discussion thread in Psychology & Therapy ·
So, I was wondering if anyone here has any actual experience dealing with Anafranil?
I’ve been on it for about a month and a half now, but all I seem to be getting is this overwhelming urge to sleep; I can't even fall asleep easily, but once I finally drift off, I stay under for ages, only to wake up feeling absolutely exhausted. On top of that, my hands have started shaking, and I’m dealing with this general sense of tremors throughout my body. My psychiatrist just bumped up my dosage, so now I'm taking two in the morning, two in the afternoon, and one in the evening.<>
I find myself in total agreement; there is certainly a subset of people who operate that way. It’s just like those folks who have one single beer at a local pub and immediately start shouting, "Man, I am absolutely wasted!!"
That sounds absolutely fascinating...
I personally have zero experience with LSD. I haven't ventured into any of the heavier substances, though I’ll admit the temptation hits me quite frequently. I constantly find myself fighting the urge, yet somehow
I manage to stay on track(:-))) and steer clear. For me, the absolute worst thing out there is alcohol.
And what would one even consider a standard dosage in this context?
So, are you suggesting that the actual purity or quality of the LSD doesn't even factor into the equation?

Oh, I can always find something to complain about! It honestly feels like we’re nothing more than lab rats in some massive, unending experiment. Isn't that the reality? They use us to test out all these different pharmaceutical concoctions.
But, if things go south—if a medication turns out to be absolute garbage—there’s always a convenient excuse ready to go. They just pivot and claim the drug didn't work quite right, or they start blaming the patient's specific biology, or this, or that. It's always someone else's fault, never the medicine itself.
