Thanks buddy. Like what’s been said earlier, I was told it will take a month before I notice a difference. My only hesitation is the sexual side effects.Casper, I’m interested to hear about your experience.
I won’t discredit your optimization, like reno.
Makes perfect sense to me. Life is short. If there’s aspect you want to change, give it a try.
Xanax has improved my life remarkably and I don't even take it very often. But if I do take a half milligram (1/4 of a bar) it's a guarantee that I won't feel weird and edgy for the rest of the day. Makes it easy to do things that I want to do but start to feel anxious about (which is a lot of things).Kato wins the thread. I could probably stand to medicate a little. Have some anxiety around some odds and ends. Prob never will too vain/stupid/anxious to look into into it.
My sister is on zoloft daily and has been since a hold up she was involved in back in '07 - she loves it.
Pretty spot on for me, except I take 1/4 bars for sleep a few days a week. Always have some scattered in my drawer.Xanax has improved my life remarkably and I don't even take it very often.

Just knowing that I have the option to take one is usually enough to stop feeling edgy, and then I don't even need it. Miracle drug, just don't start taking a lot and drinking at the same time.
My long time doctor would write me a 3 month prescription that would last me for almost a couple years. I wish I had stockpiled, because my doctor retired and these fucking Kaiser doctors will not write me a prescription. It's infuriating. I'm using it on label and have been for many years without ever needing to increase dosage. I'm exactly who this drug is for. Idiots.Pretty spot on for me, except I take 1/4 bars for sleep a few days a week. Always have some scattered in my drawer.
A crooked doc gave me script for 90 bars and 60 Adderall monthly-years ago, and I’ve kept it riding through all these states till this day.
Since I barely use them, My stockpile is extremely vast if you know anyone looking for a garbage bag full.
Yeah, I don't blame you.It seemed to line up with the reviews I read.
Reminded me of the very unpleasant part when taking psychedelics.
‘Stick with the dosage and things will get better’.
Oh well, I aborted that experiment.
Don't be cocky pal. We don't KNOW this, we just believe it to be true.You only live once before endless oblivion forever.
what do you do for double depression vd?

Same as Christians/Muslims/Jews etc
Not much you "do", really. Went to lots of therapy when I was younger (and a bit more recently)... Fortunately my intellect allows me to combat it a bit with logic after talking it through, ie my natural feeling might be "you are a stupid failure" but then I can kind of remind myself I'm not stupid, failure is subjective, etc.what do you do for double depression vd?
sux vd. grey is tough. hope you can find joy within yourself and surroundings.Ummm I mean I don't really think it's cocky to not believe in silly fairytales based on fuckall. But sure lets say your magical friend Santa Claus brings you to the North Pole when you die and you get to live with the reindeer and elves eating candy for all eternity... doesn't really change the fact that while you were living in the pre-Santa times you might as well have taken your best shot at being happy.

When I was younger I had depression as most who don't suffer from it imagine it... angsty teen crying, feeling unloved, worthless, etc.
Mid 30s double depression is just... gray. I'm "fine". I love my fiancee, my family, my friends. I just sort of live around a 5 out of 10 and never really go any higher than a 6 or lower than a 4 anymore. I mean the Kings Stanley Cups were two of the best days of my life... now I don't even care about sports anymore. I'm just generally lethargic regardless of how much I sleep, exercise, change diet, etc.
So yeah, it is what it is. Archie kind of nailed it with the cynicism = personality bit. I just try my best to be as positive as I can to combat that and it ends up just leveling out. I'm scared of death. I have no interest in hurting anyone. I'm just like anyone else, doing the best they can. My day to day experience is just a bit more muted.
It's all relative! Lots of people would love to be at a consistent 5/10. Appreciate the nice words. I do find enjoyment and happiness in life. Again, just maybe not to the same highs as others.sux vd. grey is tough. hope you can find joy within yourself and surroundings.
best wishes-
