Hello
I haven't tried SSRIs and won't be doing so.
The wonderful world of pharmacological science leaves me cold, and has done since (I like to think) the C19, when the drugs were pleasant if toxic.
You're right to be skeptical of Buspar, IMO, another (in my opinion again) waste of time and resources.
Remeron? I took it twice but once was enough.
I can handle addiction.
What I'm having trouble with at the moment is tianeptine.I don't know if I can explain how it is making me feel.
Normally the ghost in the machine can give orders to the body to do this and that, walk to the left of this person and to the right of that one.
Well, what is happening now (after the second and last tablet of the day) is that I simply can't decide what to do.
I spent SO long in Woolworths trying to buy a few things, and perhaps should have gone to the pub instead.
Maybe this is what those people meant who said it made them feel really weird. But this is recent for me.
To begin with it was fine, and for a year or two too.Obviously (to me) psychiatry cannot be a science. (Nutritional therapy can be scientific.) One day that will not be the case, but not in my lifetime.
Give me ethnobotanists any day of the week.
But for now, what I have to do is to try 1/2 tab tianeptine three times a day, and if that proves to be too much, lower it again.
That should be easy enough. I'm good at titration.
If that doesn't work I might have to do something useful like walk across the Sahara.
