    do any of you use psychiatric drugs? Could you stop using them after practicing abstinence for a long time?

    I dont use drugs, but ofcourse you could stop using them. However, for some this is a hard thing to do. And for some these drugs might actually work. If the doctor advised you to use these drugs, i suppose you consult him before you go cold turkey.

    Psychiatric drugs have never done anything but hurt me. I think that if your problems are emotional or addictive, the answer doesn't come in a bottle.

    Yes, I take anti-depressants and anti-psychotic medication. My mental health and my abstinence have nothing to do with each other. It's like asking "If you have a dog, is your car red?".

    do you say that depression and anxiety with masturbation have nothing to do with it?
     
  6. In my Early 20s I had some kind of mental health issues that required me to be hospitalized in a psyche ward and was prescribed Risperdal for having what they described as Autistic agression/agitation

    Was there for a month, got out and never took that medication again. First, I think it was just a mental breakdown. That to me seems very common esepecially in the world we live in today. Second I got a handle on my life very quickly and figured out if you don't, somebody else will be making life choices for you

    I don't take any medications now for anything thank goodness

    I mean who wants to live like that?

    Even when I was very young I was depressed but then I managed to recover ... in the last two years I fell back and I had to start taking psychiatric drugs again

  8. I'm very sorry. There's no shame in taking meds for problems you might be having, I apologize if I came across as cold to others needs.

    I was speaking for myself. :)

    I hope you feel better though, Depression does indeed suck

    don't worry friend ...
    I tried to quit this summer but it was a disaster
    The depression was destroying me again ... it is bad .. it is the disease of this century, those who do not try do not know what it means ... my brother had never suffered from depression and did not understand me .... now he also takes psychiatric drugs

  10. For me I can deal with depression, but I do have OCD as well and a low level general Anxiety, I've lived with these so long I've just learned how to cope with it.

    The things that bother me are I have dyslexia which makes it hard to read, (sometimes spell) and understand follow a story. Which really sucks because I love reading and writing

    Unfortunately I don't think they make a medication for dyslexia

    psychiatric drugs that help to sleep can do some good to us

    these drugs are used for 15 days or 1 month; and your sleeping cycle could be repaired

    then this is good for your health. Nutrition improves. Mental equilibrium improves.
