I know I shouldn't prescribe myself, but I was taking cymbalta a while ago and my doctor stopped priscribing it cuz he thought I didnt need it anymore.. I think I'm going trhoug a depression state again and I dont have the money to go to therapy, do u think it would be a good Idea to get my meds online?, I've seen a few pharmacies online that dont require the prescription to sell it.
most definately not ... because your body mind and spirit are in a state of emotions and you could be at one milligram at one time but the dr may prescribe another to you. NEVER EVER do that to yourself esp with anti depressents.
I took my self off of effexor. the dr had me on it and i hated the fact i was on it . I was going through a very bad time in my life and tried to kill myself , never happened though. And he had me on 4 -5 different types. I was SOOOOOOOOO zoned out. As i was getting weined off them i just decided hey what the heck i'll get off these stupid pills. Well sure enough, They gave me glasses. I was on the bus and i saw double almost fel off the bus and than as i was walking on the sidewalk i saw 2 sidewalks and the garden thing in the middle of the sidewalk i saw 3 of those. So as i got home i couldn't see the key hole for my keys i almost fell down the stairs and when i got in i had a 6 week old cat my eyes were all blurry and i heard Oliver and i saw 10 of him. lol So i called my dad and i said dad I need to go see the eye doctor my eye sight is really bad . He said for crying out loud its been 20/20 for your whole life sure enough i have glasses.
NEVER prescribe for yourself. If you really need something (and you're not currently taking any meds) you can try st. johns wort. It helped me in the past. Just make sure you're not taking any psych meds (esp. anti depressants) as this will cause you to OD. It's a powerful herb that is a mood enhancer. You can find it at your local health food store. Just remember...not while taking something prescribed! *hugs* Jess
Hey guys, thanks for the replies, Jess I'll buy some St johns, I didn't know about this herb, but I did some research and it seems to be a really powerful herb.. so I'll give it a try. Peace my friends.
Antidepressents should be avoided. Recently I went on antidepressents. The side affects were awful. But the feelings were euphoric. everything felt like white light. I felt as though I was walking through a field of cotton barefoot. I felt as though i was in graceland. I could sleep at night, I had no fear, I had no inhibitions. But in the end, I felt robbed of my true emotions. I knew that all this was the medication. None of it was real. It was like taking an illegal drug just to feel happy. True happiness lays in confidence, knowing you can achieve something and seeing your dreams come true. Happiness is knowing that each day, you have another chance. When God wakes you up in the morning, he is saying, "Come on George, up and atem." Anti depressents should only be a temporary thing and the last last resort. Never the first, never the second, but the last.
For me antidepressants were necessary. Without them I was so depressed I was suicidal. I couldn't function. I didn't feel euphoric or happy on them. Just me without the depression. Now I'm on a mood stabilizer that keeps me pretty stable (I'm bipolar). The alternative, for me, is really bad. Without the meds I wind up in the hospital. There are many who can function without the meds and I am happy for them. I'm just not one of them.
