I’m sick of being patronised for my drug use for them to give me something that has worse side effects than the drugs I am taking. I’ve given up hope on the system, I’ve given up hope on myself tbh
This is exactly why I gave up on the doctors. I kept being given really harsh anit-depressants that made me more depressed and ill. But there good…..apparently.

This what I’m scared of. I don’t want to be chemically lobotomised, I’d rather just kill myself than live as a fucking zombie. I’ve seen anti-depressants do more harm than good to many people, both drug users and none drug users

My girlfriend was given one med that made her sleep around 16 hours a day but most of the meds I’ve been on haven’t been so bad. Surely anything is worth a try though mate.

Agreed, I’m likely to get lambasted next time I go back, mainly for the reason of A. I’ve got a fractured back and haven’t really done anything about it, B. I don’t intend on swallowing there bullshit pills. C. I can’t be arsed to go
just done a random check on 3 separate chaps (age +80) all have have co administration of SSRIs + benzos or alternatively whatever the new one (NaSSA) is.
from what info I can obtain; all the anti-depressants have the same similar side effects and no doctors anywhere in the world have anything better. Its not even a matter of cost or diversion risks (they all cost around the same and are POM only rather than POM/CD) and the prescribers do check for the side effects; unfortunately it is the case that treatment is better for the seniors in residential care homes simply because they are monitored every hour to check if anything else is wrong with them so a lot of valuable data is gathered.

round this way you’ve probably got enough wrong with you to be booked into one of the places I sometimes work at for treatment (and would be 2nd youngest patient) at least for a few weeks. you would be allowed free access in/out and would get effective treatment for the back problems but it really is properly in the middle of nowhere in bumpkinshire; more so than anywhere else in SE England.
Isn’t mrtazapine a NASSA? could have been one of the meds I was on previously though.

Last night after drinking 4 pints of Stella I did the stupidest thing I’ve done in months. Got a full bottle of vodka. I haven’t drank spirits in over 6 months and now I have no clue what I did last night. I’m obviously not as OK as I thought.
You only messaged me once, so it wasn’t so bad :biggreen:
