Ok First off i want to say i think this site is awsome.. i recently came across this site and was blown away. I had no idea anything like this existed, I have been researching psychiatric drugs and they have become very interesting to me, but I had no idea there was a network of people discussing these topics. I have much respect for all of you and wish you all the best.
I have been having some problems for the last 3 years, after some serious drug use. I just want to get back to normal functioning. be happy sometimes. before i was really against taking ADs , but the more i learn, i think i could really benefit. I would like to know if anyone can reccommed anything. I dont think i have sleeping problems, but i never dream and never sleep past 7-8 hours, never really a deep sleep. most of the time i get really tense talking to people, especially in school, my movements become very rigid. I have a very low sex drive too, iam a 22 yr old male. I also tend to get anxious and worry alot. Maybe some mild OCD. I also have a hard time dealing with stress.
i used extacy for about 9 months every weekend. then got into speed for a few months. heavy drinking too.
so far iam considering selegiline. from the research ive done on the site i see that very few people have problems with it. iam not sure if the metabloites are nuerotoxic tho. does anyone know. can dopaminergics cause movement disorders later in life ?
Mirapex ? i have read a litte about it and think maybe this could be right for me.
also i have read claims that SSRIs eventually acitvate the mesolimbic dopamine system. maybe Lexapro ?
i know alot of you are very knowledgeable, i trust your opinions more than my psydoc. so any information will be helpful and much appreciated. Iam not sure if my probs are dopamine related or serotonin, or both.
This is the end of the thread.
