The mental health thread

[Wrathe]

Don't ever take Seroquel.

OMG. They put me on this in '15 when I was in the hospital for GBS. I swear, I laid there at night trying to solve some super math problem in my head for like 8 hours, I couldn't sleep, just this same problem breakdown repeatedly. I bet that's the shit they give folks who end up writing on walls.

It did quite the opposite for me. I was sleeping 15 hours a day, I mean I had the deepest dreams I have ever had in my life.. when I woke up I felt like I still in a dream.
It would also increase my appetite substantially.. I was just craving everything at night.

Now there are open lawsuits against that shit because it was proven to cause diabetes.

Placebo is 30% effective, drug is 45%. So.

For seizures or mental health?

For seizures or mental health?

mental health... Lamotrigine and similar drugs are needed for people with seizures.

SSRI's almost have the same effect as a placebo.

If you have the time, this one is absolutely gold.

Flip it on while you're cleaning or driving to work

.. Seroquel put me the fuck oit.

I am manic and depressive every single day now. Like substantially. Don't know if it's the lamotrigine. Frankly I don't know if I wanna get off it because the mania is just.. Beyond words.

I believe the seroquel fucked me up.
It all started once i got off it, Just mentally unstable now and that wasnt the case before.. not even close.

That drug is evil.

Doctor is kind of a dink.

I had done my research and was prepared for our last meeting.. Felt empty, like dating was an addiction, unfulfilled, my behavior producing counterproductive results, my inability to control impulse.. It was a laundry list of pertinent topics and he just.. Said to outthink them and challenge the premise that any of it was bad in the first place

I was explicitly asking for practical advice and swear to God every answer was "its only bad if you think it's bad"(..its bad, I'm thirty and I'm wasting my time and this isn't fulfilling, that's the whole point. Im not happy. ) and "you don't think you can control your impulses so you can't (.. Fuxking no dude,I tried my absolute best and I couldn't, this is why I'm talking to you. To give me professional advice on how to behave differently next time)
,
It was all contrived," use the force" horse shit. I don't need philosophy, I have problems I want to work out and I'm paying you to help work them out.

Seems like hes using a gestalt approach. Overall aim is probably to help you understand that there's more than one way to be happy and it's your expectation of what you should be doing which is ultimately leading to your negative emotions. But it sounds like you want to change and are looking for actions to drive that change which would use a REBT approach.
I think it's worth noting that if he has a good reputation and track record he might be making this decision for a reason. Sometimes it is hard to see ourselves completely and he might be able to see a barrier that he wants to work around that is limiting your chance of correctly moving towards the resolution you want.
Hard to say remotely which it is.

I came at him pretty explicitly with the assertion that dating is a runaway train that will end horribly and already isn't fun or productive. It was so much an issue I moved up our meeting date.


I would just think that if a person sees it as that pernicious and has stated clear goals and have articulated both points thoroughly, that he would just throw a life preserver and facilitate what I'm asking for

And I was right. It became an addiction, and now it isn't going well and I have nothing to fall back on. I told him I'm manic when I'm getting what I want and depressed as fuck when I'm not and that it wasn't likely that it would keep being as good as it was. I'm just as empty and now I'm freaking out because I have nothing else to look forward to or work on. I was trying to avoid this.

I have always come back disappointed after trying to fish for advices and how to deal with certain situations/problems from professionals.


They just either don't know the right way of action or they don't want to be responsible if they give out the wrong advice.

Most of them don't really know shit, but people trust them because they are "professionals".

Eh I've had good doctors. This one is just hit and miss. I don't want to sell him on the idea that I have a problem for 55 minutes and the other five him agreeing but not giving any advice
