Try starting lexapro or another SSRI and you may be able to accomplish your goal like it or not...i am of course just kidding..i think my 2nd week on lex i got about 3 or 4 hours in a 3 day span..there was nothing fun about it..just laying there terrified most of the time..

> Personally, I stayed up for 4 days due to Major Depression. It was no laugh or form of enjoyment. It was Hell. I couldn't sleep. I took sleeping meds and NOTHING was working. I became very suicidal. I couldn't trust my own judgement. I was hallucinating. Hallucination is not funny. You can't tell what is real and not real. Is that what you want? It's a state of psychosis. What is funny about that?
