hmmm ok. but I can remeber a post about Clomipramine where you said it has some anxiolytic propertiues for you like the SSRIs
----------------------------------------------Perhaps, but in hindsight (being medication for the past 3 months) it is absolutely uncanny the amount of psychological anxiety SSRI's produce.
Like I said, I have not slept in the past 5 years. I am sleeping like how I remember when I was very young. The sleep that you don't remember. It is so hard to quantify what the SSRI/clomipramin actually do. Sure in lab rats they may reduce anxiety afer just two weeks, but after that its no mans land. Are they going to produce the same effects 6 months down the road? Are you just going to make things worse over time ? I report the anti-anxiety effect probably after a short while was like what I remember the SSRI's originally doing. But I guess after they depleat frontal cortex dopamine you get to thinking you can't really do anything. A little coffee helps my confidence. I can sit an actually do a simple task infront of me, without my mind trying to solve 1000 other tasks at the same time. That feeling is irreplacable. Isn't that what we all want, to be able to "take care of buisness" without your mind f'ing you over each time you try?
I've said a lot of things. But I realy can't say that I believe anything I've said in the past 5 years, because it was probably just one of those desires of mind to report that I'd found the "majic pill".
I know I don't make any sence. I've tried connecting my dots but I quickly learned that that activity is futile.
All I know is caffiene helps my current predicament. It makes me feel more grounded,
it stops the chatter, it gets me doing the things that matter most.Linkadge
