Medication Help

[mank!]

Apparently half those anti-depressants shouldn't be given to under 18's.

I've got at least three other friends, not including myself, who have been on various medication for mental illness which shouldn't be taken by under 18's

It also says not to drink whilst on paroxatine, and I got absolutely wasted whilst taking it before. Cool.

Not something I would boast about

Well, 1 1/2 pints later and I'm alive. I'm going to have some cheap nights out over the next couple of months if tonight is anything to go on. I felt like I'd had about 4 pints, not 1 1/2

I used to get depressed in the winter as well Sar, do you have an uber bright light to sit under as well to help with S.A.D?

I got given beta-blockers for a few weeks when I had viral vertigo. Having no sense of balance at all tends to leave you a wee bit stressed out.

Hehe most probably, although I reckon you need them more than any one

I was on 16 tablets a day at one point last year......damn tablet nation.

Nope. At least not for emotional/mental problems.
Had some bad medical stuff, but got of the medication as soon as I could.

Yeah you can buy light bulbs that give off natural light (i.e. light of the same wavelength) that are supposed to be really good...

After the shit day I had at work yesterday, yes, I needed a pint. As for joints. They're part of the reason I'm now on this medication. Damn paranoia.

Same here, I've never taken anything other than paracetamol.

Nope, you can't get em on the NHS over here, and they cost about £150 to buy, so sod that

This Fluoxetine seems to help quite a bit though, although there are some days it seems to have no effect.

What dosage are you on? I've been on 20mg of the stuff for 10 months and it's had no effect. Went back for a review and they just doubled my dosage to 40, lamers!

It will impair your intellect while taking it too but it's only temporary (no jokes please)

Not even a little one?
