I can endure alcohol from time to time but I don’t prefer to drink because I feel gross the day after.

 

Gross with headaches, nausea?

[SweetTalker]

Xanax >>>> 

 

Never been medicated tho lol just went thru a druggie phase I guess. Xanax was the most fun. I loved hydros. For some reason they used to put me in the best mood ever. I wasn’t a big fan of Valium. My friend used to get ****** up on those but they never did **** to me. Other than that I don’t really know what pills I used to take, i just took them  

 

I still smoke weed every now and then. Hate hate hate alcohol. I used to drink socially but i started getting nasty hangovers so haven’t drank in a year. Molly was fun but after the first couple of times the comedowns became unbearable. That white powder used to be fun depending on the occasion. I like shrooms but ever since my last trip 4 months ago I stopped. It was a “bad trip” in the sense that I got really self conscious   started over analyzing myself and my actions over the year. Never got the hype for lean. Tried that **** twice and it was lame.

Interesting! I have anxiety, so Adderall would probably give me a stroke  Do you take it recreationally or as prescribed? No judgement; just curious. 

 

I'm also not a fan of the psychoactive stuff lol 

Over the long term, adderall actually cured my anxiety. I definitely wouldn’t write it off

From last year: 

 

I actually took Zoloft for depression. Around week 3-4 I noticed I felt a bit more confident and side effects dissipated. Week 4 I felt like "hey, this is starting to work." Week 6 it was amazing. Decrease in depression and moderate anxiety I had at the time. 

 

From this year:

 

I'm really taking Zoloft for anxiety, but I'm also dealing with depression. I've been on Zoloft one week (25mg) and I had major fatigue and muscle pain at the beginning. Towards end of the week that went away. I'm half-way done with being on Zoloft (50mg) and side effects are definitely more intense (which is typical for dosage increases). Nausea and anxiety (but strangely not as bad as before the med.), but if I take my anti-nausea and benzo, I'm fine for the rest of the day. 

 

My hope is for that 6 week mark to hit and I don't have to keep taking my benzo/anti-nausea meds to curb those side effects. 

 

Let me know if you have any more questions! 

Thank you for the thorough retelling of the effects! I am also wondering what were/are you anxiety symptoms before/during/after if you don’t mind sharing? I wonder if it’ll help my specific case.

[Contessa]

I hate alcohol bc it can trigger depression with my anxiety after the effects wear off (it’s a depressant after all lol)

 

I also had one too many cubes of THC-infused chocolate bar once and had the worst trip. I am open to trying out smoking it since  the body metabolizes it differently but with my anxiety I don’t think it would be a overly pleasant experience.

 

so I am recreational drug-free and just let my adrenaline do all the work.

I don't really like any of them.

[dman4life]

I smoke weed daily and will do a shroom occasionally which I love btw. Used to be a regular alcohol drinker as eell but have since been alcohol free for the last 6 weeks and have never felt better tbh

Anxiety symptoms before: 

 

-Horrible nausea

-Heart palpitations/feeling like my heart was racing uncontrollably 

-Ruminating, racing thoughts 

-Feeling anxious to do any simple tasks, like grocery shopping, taking a shower

-Not being able to sleep (not even with sleep aids) 

-Chronic pelvic pain and weird tickle-y sensations in throat and bottoms of my feet

 

Anxiety symptoms I'm currently experiencing with Zoloft: 

 

-Nausea, although not as bad 

-Anxiety, although not as bad

-Actually being able to sleep for 8 hours but needing a sleep aid 

-Less moderate-to-severe chronic pelvic pain/throat

 

As far as my experience last year, depression symptoms I had: 

 

-Not having an appetite

-Not wanting to talk to friends, leave the house

-Things I used to enjoy I found less enjoyment in them 

 

Once I got on Zoloft & stayed with it for 6 months: 

 

-Found enjoyment in things I used to enjoy

-I enjoyed trips/adventures 

-Partied/hooked up more

Weed is not my thing, alcohol just puts me to sleep, MDMA is amazing but too much for me these days 

 

As for medications, I don’t like any Ssri’s, they have never done anything for me personally. I use a tiny bit of valium for public speaking  like <5mg otherwise you’re too drowsy 

Since I have anxiety, I welcome the sedation 

[Daddy]

Ketamine, weed & shrooms > everything else  

 

I need a HIGH, not being awake for too long. 

[Likingstars]

I use Wellbutrin for my seasonal depression and it’s pretty great. It calms me down a lot and helps with my anxiety also. I continue to use it year round

Ativan <3 I've been taking it a few times a week for a while now and it's changed my life

I'm still adjusting to my Zoloft increase, and if it wasn't for my Xanax and Valium, I would not be able to work lol 

[TouchinFree]

Never had Alcohol because it smells terrible and I've only seen people get seriously hurt when drunk. I'm also terrified of being addicted. 

 

Had weed for a couple of years (occasionally) and it was a hit and miss experience. Mostly great ones though. 

 

Tried (Amyl) poppers with a friend. And I wish I never did because I was somewhat hooked on it for a while. Only reason I liked it because I could actually finally ejaculate quickly ( I last too long that it is a problem for me). And the second reason was that I didn't want to become too promiscuous and just keep to myself. Terrible drug though ( for me) and I've finally been able to phase it out recently. It gave me the worst headaches, If taken a lot it could weigh you down and make you unmotivated and sluggish. Could also affect your eyes in the long term. Not gonna lie though, I've had some of the most intense/pleasurable orgasms ever. Worth the side effects? Maybe not.

In:

- weed <3 

- vyvanse <3 

 

Out:

- alcohol (never appealed to me)

- ritalin, THEE worst

- antidepressants in general lmao, I trialed a few throughout the years (i.e. Wellbutrin, Prozac) and gave up after the fourth one didn't work past the trial period. I was too impatient to see the full effects because A. I didn't see any results B. side effects were terraboo and C. it was counteracting w/ my ADHD meds and making me eat more
