In reply to MDMA HOW YOU THINK I GOT THIS WAY!!!!!!!!, posted by lilsis on October 24, 2002, at 10:10:18
Damn, bummer... I sent you this answer on your MSN and your Mom responded... bad Mike.......Anyways, my Doctor said when I asked her the same question whether all the stuff I did as a teen could have triggered of my Bi-Polar disorder and this is what she told me.
That the only instances where she found that "street drugs" did anything for a person's mental health is IF the person had a tendency towards psychotic episodes. For example, I have a good friend who's skitzophrenic and whenever he smoked weed, it was bad, he would change, whenever he did anything else... It was best to just stay FAR away from him. Using those drugs could have been what triggered off his situation in the first place.
But for depression, anxiety disorders, and Bi-Polar, she didn't think that any of the drugs that "I" did in the past, and God knows there were LOTS of them, has anything to do with the way I am now. She does think that when you're going through an episode though, or when you're first starting your treatment on a new medication, that you should remain as sober as possible because then they could have adverse reactions.
I'm always VERY open with my Doctor about my Party Lifestyle so I hope that helps.
