A big hello from Powercazy, I am humbled and honored to join.
I have joined this community in order to find better information on the legal medication I am currently on as I have found the usual sources frustrating and inadequate.
I also have a wealth of knowledge to contribute to the identification and cultivation of various mushroom varieties if that is something this forum might find valuable.
After a lifetime of self-medicating for my general depression and acute anxiety disorder with varying success, I have decided to seek a formal diagnosis and treatment.
I have as a result been prescribed the following.
At first, I was prescribed, Valium and I found it completely ineffective. No sleepiness, no reduction in anxiety, nothing. I have taken as much as 15mg at one time and found the effects mild at best (if anything) I did find it messed with my proprioceptive perception for at least a day afterward, meaning I wasn't dizzy, I just found myself bumping into doorways a lot and getting my feet tangled, but that was the extent of the effects I experienced from taking this medication.
As a result, I was prescribed Ativan and found I could take up to 5mg without experiencing any appreciable effect from it (I did not try more than that).
I understand that people habituated to these medications quickly, but I have never taken a Benzodiazepine in my life. the only drug I did on a regular basis was Marijuana and that was a few years ago now.
Despite searching the normal channels, I have not found anybody that has had a similar experience with these drugs and I have found in many instances forums such as this much more knowlagable on the subject
of these medications than the people prescribing them.
I would appreciate any theories or suggestions or similar experiences anyone could potentially offer.
I apologize in advance for my poor spelling, Neuro-Atypical I am not.
I also look forward to contributing my own knowledge and experience to the forum wherever possible.
Thank you to the organizers of this forum, forums such as this are a valuable and indispensable resource with the current state of affairs regarding the relationship between the state and its continuing war on our neurochemistry.
Thanks in advance.
