> You admit he is acutely suffering from anxiety, yet you think if he want to a psychiatric hospital he would, what exactly? Find too much relief from his woes? You asked me what basis he has for seeking out a hospital. Yet you also aknowledge he is severely suffering inside.>Mr or Ms.Utopizen,
When did I ever admit he was suffering from anxiety? I said he had anxiety but I never said suffer.When did I say according to you "I ackowledge the fact he is severvely suffering inside"? I am not trying to start a fight between you and I.I was just saying that maybe you shouldve worded things differently.Just because someone does have anxiety,why should he seek refuge in a psych ward? You think that is the only way to handle anxiety? He never even said he couldnt function because of anxiety.That wasnt even his topic. He stated he is seeing someone and they would be the one qualified to make that call.He is on Klonopin,I didnt find him incoherent or long winded.To me he was seeking advice about medication between adderall and Dexedrine.I have had severe panic disorder,anxiety,depression...you name it I was labled it.I have dealt with vicodin,which is the worst thing to tell anybody.I thought I would do good and tell people my problem so if they were offered it for a toothache or whatever they would stay away from it but....I was labeled a drug addict behind my back.And yes I am on 60 mgs of Adderall Xr and 50 mgs of Dexedrine a day also...a total of 110 mgs.I have never had psychosis or any problems.I know a lot about all drugs,and Amp's get a bad reputation.They have been researched longer than penicillin and honestly crystal meth or meth amp aside,where are all the horrible side effects? Where is all the Adderall,Ritalin,and Dexedrine Psychosis cases in the ER'S or anywhere in general? Remember not meth amp.Why can you give these drugs to little kids and see no problems or deadly side effects? Compared to benzos and ssri's...the withdrawl syndromes and addiction of these were far worse to me than anything.> You're trying to paint me as the one who's not sympathetic to his anxiety, while also trying to convince me he couldn't use relief from his anxiety.>
I never said you werent sympathetic,I said you maybe have legitamate concerns but words are very powerful.Maybe you should have thought first before reacting.I never said or implied you were trying to convince him to get no relief.1st you said he was incoherent,brought up amp psychosis,implying he was in denial,said he should try to be admitted into a hospital.Now anyone with even a little anxiety is going to question themselves if someone states what you did.All he was asking was advice about medication.How was I trying to convince you he couldnt use relief?I was implying know the facts about geno before jumping the gun.
> You're the one who wants him to avoid relief, not me. I actually care about him.>
How can you say that about me? What did I do for you to merit such an accusation? You are impyling I want to see him suffer? That is very hurtful towards me.He is seeing a Doctor,who will suggest and make recommendations.I want to be here not to label him as this or that.I want to speak positively,tell people and recognize the struggles theyve survived.I dont want to write people off and say you have this disorder and need this and that.To me thats up to a physician.But I can tell people they can rise above the labels,they are roses that grow from concrete,too many tears too many wasted years,People arent burdens and they do hurt but if you keep tryin maybe things will change and tomorrow always comes after the dark....I have read genos posts since he was on a bunch of meds....at one point I believe...Zoloft,Desipramine,ritalin,klonopin and remeron.Also why is it you refer to me as "thug life"? Why the quotation marks around my name? What are you implying? Do you even know what my name stands for? I dont want to fight,I dont want to be negative,I dont want to assume imply or hurt anyone....Just take a look at your posts and then what I wrote...objectively.Please don't get defensive and just see what I am saying.I wont say anything bad about you...ever.If you get that impression let me know and I'll explain myself.
