Anti Anxiety Meds

[i_SLAM_cougars]

I was sick a couple years ago and I wasn’t really thinking about it, but I took ephedrine and suddaffed, and I was drinking rock star all day. Went to a med express after work to try and get some antibiotics, and they took my blood pressure. The nurse asked me if I ran there

Yeah I had two blood donor people looming at me like I needed to go to the hospital.

"Sir... You are the largest tweeker we have ever seen. Please get the hell out."

To make it worse I had guiacol all over me. I reeked and I could tell the woman smelled chemical on me.

My bedtime concoction (Kitchen sink edition) stronger than any prescription drug and I'm sleeping like a baby on 1200mg of Tren . Xanax is flinstone vitamin by comparison.

60mg CBD + 3mg THC
5mg Time Release Melatonin
Natural Calm (contains Magnesium, 5HTP, GABA, Melatonin, and L-Theaning)

^dissolved in Sleep Tea containing
- Valerian Root
- Passionflower
- Skullcap
- Chamomile

do you ever wake up?? amitriptyline hcl 20mg and 5 mg of melatonin... cbd 25mg that's the ticket... i've shared with many people this drug and they all end up talking to their dr's about it.. i'm odd that i can take it during the day with no sleepy feelings, but combine them and i wake up refreshed and recovered everytime

I lasted maybe 3 weeks on Amitriptyline. Would routinely walk into a room and completely forget why I was there. Messed with my head too much.

Without Tren my sleep stack is cut in half.

yep for me, it relieves enough pain for me to sleep deeply ..

I suffer from anxiety from time to time. I don't take medications (at least I try to avoid using them when it is possible). I should say, cbd oil, and yoga help me a lot. Also I heard that meditation might work. Has anyone tried it? Maybe other alternative ways of treatment?

I take it for cluster headaches when necessary, and occasionally for some pain from nerve damage.

Let me tell you 25 mg of scripted amitriptyline and a scripted Flexeril will let you rest when you're in pain. Brain fog? You bet!! However I much prefer that to opioids, though.

Not knocking those that legitimately need opioids for relief, but anything that makes me bite down on the bathroom towel to keep me from screaming because it has locked my guts down for a while.... well, I just try to avoid.


Edit: On a side note, lb. for lb., canines can tolerate around twice the dosage humans can.

We used to occasionally give our big boy (276 lbs) (2) -25 mg amitriptyline every 8-12 hours when one of our female mastiffs was in heat. It wouldn't totally quiet him down, but it did keep him from hyperventilating. Never knew canines could tolerate it until our vet told us.

Damn, I miss my big boy.

Took it for a few wks then for some reason i did some reading on it, first thing that is was made for was depression. Fuck off i said stopped it, i am not a cunt or depressed, went back to the the doc and explained i stopped as i am not depressed.

SSRI's pretty much just drown out all the background noise in your head. This can be helpful for depression, anxiety, all sorts of stuff. Really they just make it a lot easier to get out of bed in the morning.

I meditate for an hour every day. (Well actually now during corona lockdown I'm meditating 2 or 3 hours a day but that's only because I live alone and haven't got much to do other than play darts and try to find the tiny puncture in my inflatable boat).

Not sure why I haven’t followed this thread at all, but I can tell you I am cut from the same cloth as many of you. I think having a “healthy anxiety” is a good thing. It keeps me honest and accountable and ensures I check all of the things off of my proverbial mental to do list in order to not feel crippled by my listlessness that comes when I don’t.
What isn’t good is the debilitating anxiety that feels so heavy that I might collapse under the weight of it all. The type that induces panic attacks and makes you question whether you’re having a heart attack or not.

Like many of you, mine comes on at night. I find it interrupts my sleep which I’m shit at anyways. I actually start getting anxiety at bedtime because I know I’m going to struggle, it’s been even worse lately since my diagnosis. Currently I’m battling it with some sleeping pills and Xanax. Agreed the benzos can be addictive, so you have to know yourself. For me it comes down to do I want to struggle or depend on something to help with the struggle? I choose the latter.

Some of it is innate and some is situational, most of us maneuver between the two. We also have such diverse brain chemistry, it’s so hard to paint with a broad brush. Often it’s through trial and error and when we move past the anxiolytics and into the other classes...SSRI’s, SNRI’s, SDRI’s.

I read Clarky mentioning the bit about depression and none of us want that label, there’s a stigma attached. I for one have avoided them as well because well, I’m not fucking depressed! The providers and the manufacturers see the two as intertwined, like the chicken and the egg. That’s why you’ll see depression meds written for anxiety. There’s that perception of correlation. Also fascinating why some can actually calm down by taking speed...i.e. adderall.

We’re just all wired so differently.

I know this is getting long winded, but my point is like steroids it’s so hard to paint it with a broad brush. You almost have to trial and error. There are gold standards though for situational anxiety like the benzo class and like AG mentioned, low dose Beta Blockers. After that, it’s cognitive behavioral therapy, mediation, journaling, baths, herbs, candles, music, THC/CBD...the list goes on.

The key is recognizing the triggers, avoiding them the best you can and then maneuvering through it the best you can after it starts. Obviously none of us are alone and it makes me feel good to know I’m surrounded by folks going through the same shit.

Maybe we’re all more alike than different, huh?

going to sleep is the hardest thing for me to do.. massive anxiety. I'm afraid of the dreams I'm going to have and the things my mind is going to see.. thankfully I have not gotten sleep paralysis in awhile. I used to wake up in the middle of the night but I couldn't move at all , my body was totally frozen and stuck,, and then this dark entity would enter my room and torture my soul. . if I could just get my toe or fingers or something to move it would unlock me and then I could summon the dark spirit to go away.
crazy shit.

I hate sleep. I want to be alert and mindful of everything around me all the time at all times.. and sleep makes me vulnerable.

my wife was sitting outside with me yesterday, and a military plane flew over head and she pointed it out like "wow its been so quiet" and she sees the plane .. and I pointed out to her that was the 26th plane of the day thats flown over our house just this day alone , and you only notice one. lol .. I see and pay attention to everything around me.
thats probably why I have such bad anxiety . I can't shut my brain off ... where as my wife , she is just a "sheep" , not a shepherd .. she falls asleep in 2 minutes and sleeps 8 hours without a worry . while I'm up all night struggling to pay attention to life and everything around me and constantly thinking and seeing visions.
some days I just want to be a sheep.

but good news is , look what I got for my birthday

Actually saw something on AETV about the creator of mypillow. He was a real bad crack addict and came up with the idea to make the pillow. Pillow made it big, he got clean, and now employs tons of newly sober addicts. Just awesome. I think I’ll buy one because of that.

Edit: spelling

Like to know how you like it after you test drive it a few times. My current pillow is too soft for my big ass head and when I pinch the hell out of it and fold it over it's too dang much.

Me too! To me the pillow is way more important than the mattress! Excited for the review!

All I can say is that Prozac did wonders for my anxiety and depression. It evened me out as a person, not completely, but significantly.

I’ve been enjoying a wedge pillow beneath my other pillows. I’m digging the slight incline, sleeping better (and snoring less).

I’ll tell you what I can’t sleep without though; an overhead fan. That gentle breeze of air movement is really relaxing.

Interesting on the inventor guy

Oh man, me & anxiety

It runs in my family, and I feel like I didn’t stand a chance even if it wasn’t for all of my previous substance abuse issues


All I take now is Xanax, only for sleep - but, now I have been on for a fairly long time at a low dose - but, pulling that dose is definitely harder than it sounds - kinda like my trt dose of test

That & a little weed + a little booze. . . The booze is where my problem starts. Looking back now - I have been drinking for pretty much 2 decades straight. I guess being Russian doesn’t help that


Oh well, I feel great & feel very dialed in - finally, now at least

[GearHeaded]

well the my pillow was great .. I stuck it under my wifes ass and propped her up with it while laying on her back and gave her a good banging. the my pillow held up just fine . worked like a charm.
and on a side note its pretty damn comfy to sleep on
