Re: Nardil Euphoria

I think there are far too many people who are seeking "better living through chemistry" on this board and searching for euphoria rather than a normal continuum of moods. It is normal to be depressed at times. It is normal to be anxious at times. Medication is not going to take this away entirely. The only thing that will take this away is illegal drugs (and legal variants of illegal drugs like amphetamines and benzodiazepines, if used improperly and for the wrong reasons - which I think "euphoria-seeking" is very much so) but even those stop working at normal doses, requiring higher and higher doses until you tend to experience a paradoxical effect.

I refuse to apologize for my post. This is something I have noticed from many individuals on psycho-babble. Sometimes I marvel at the similarities I see here and between the crowd I used to abuse drugs with.

Is there ANYONE on this board who (like me) is simply looking to feel normal and not wishing to acheive a false euphoric state?

From the context (and subtext) of most of these posts, I find myself doubting it.
