Should I be on happy pills?
 
You guys know me enough. . .

_slavo_ 03.28.2007 11:59 AM

I would have said no a couple of weeks ago,
but now I say yes.

king_buzzo 03.28.2007 12:00 PM

Definately man, I want some ritalin!

jon boy 03.28.2007 12:04 PM

i would say no. if its anti depresants your talking about then avoid them unless your suffering from very acute panic/anxiety or having a very acute depression. otherwise seek cognitive therapy.

floatingslowly 03.28.2007 12:06 PM

take a handful and call me in the morning.
 

jon boy 03.28.2007 12:07 PM

if its e then its entirely upto you.

truncated 03.28.2007 12:18 PM

If you're asking us, then yes.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.28.2007 12:26 PM

It was a little tongue in cheak deer.

I voted no.

The thing with cognitive therapy Jon Boy is I'm pretty sure I know what my problems are and how to defeat them. I just have a really hard time doing it. One of these days I'm just going to have to kick my ass into gear and do what I really need to do.

I think once I have the freedom of a car and reliable income I'd have a lot less problems.

ssri antidepressants are not "happy pills."
...more like "zombie pills"
that disallow any preoccupation of thought
so that one simply cannot ruminate on their woes in a prolonged manner.

If you want "happy pills," then go for Adderall (Ritalin, part 2)...dextroamphetamine sulfate (sugar and pure speed compound). Of course, "speed kills," but these are just kiddie speed. Sorta like the speed version of St. Joseph's chewable asprin.
Or some opiate narcotics...they'll make you happy until you build up a tolerance and then you're hooked and you're fucked and most unhappy.
It's est to do these in minute amounts...never even more than 1/4 a pill per day. Besides, if you overdo prescription narcotics, they'll justput you to sleep anyway. They cause "brown outs" when mixed with alcohol, but not as badly as psychoactives like Xanax or Klonopin. Psychoactives have a scientifically unknown action and are, in my opinion, not only dangerous, but quite unnecessary. That's huge pharmaceutical companies for you.

You know. . . I decided I'd be a lot happier if I log into facebook and myspace less.

Norma J 03.28.2007 06:15 PM

No. You should not be on 'happy pills'. You should deal with the problem instead of masking it with sedatives.

The 30s had nothing on todays depression it would seem.

Danny Himself 03.28.2007 06:16 PM

Happy pills are for losers.

You're a winner!

Norma J 03.28.2007 06:17 PM

haha. I pictured you as a highschool PE teacher saying that, Danny. Preferrably with an American accent and a flat-top haircut.

Danny Himself 03.28.2007 06:18 PM

That's how was imagining it when I typed it.

get all wacky on goof balls

SynthethicalY 03.28.2007 08:42 PM

Smoke pot, ask Kegmama about this.

drrrtyboots 03.28.2007 09:11 PM

Clonopin fucking sucks, it'll make you pass out at a deerhoof show. By this I don't mean me, but my sister.

Richard Pryor on Fire 03.28.2007 10:15 PM

I was on an anti-anxiety/depression meds. I asked my doctor for them but after taking them for a few weeks I realized that they made absoultely bat shi t nuts after a few cocktails, not just real drunk but fucking weird and nuts. I called up a friend once when I was drinking to wishing them a happy birthday, she called me back the next day, I guessed to thank me or whatever. She started calling me "A drunk asshole, and a fucking scumbag. Blazie blach..." Apparently instead of saying happy birthday I called her a bitch, a whole bunch. Was screaming at her and yadaya yadada, the odd thing is I had absoultely no malice in my heart to her. SO yeah it makes you nuts, and it makes you these things too... for me at least I felt all these side effects.

Recently, I've been wanting to take some pills (not any in particular), just some that'll hurt me or help me. Both are fine with me right now. I don't know why really.

I take vitamin A because the skin on my arms is all fucked up. Apparently vitamin A is supposed to help.

What other vitamins should I take?

I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:
To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art - if they desire to learn it - without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.

I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.
I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.
I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.
What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.

If I fulfil this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.


ignore the deadly drug part doc, I'll take whatever you've got.
