Best drug for depression and anxiety?

goddam i wish i had read this thread two weeks ago ive been on a opiate binge(oxymorphone mostly) due to a break up that happened like on goddam christmas day.. fuck the bitch is now dating a 33 year old (shes 19) i feel like shit and thanks to the past two weeks of nonstop opana i cant function without it and i feel like shit shit shit shit shit shti.
honest to god i think i was trying to do the same thing you have suggested: find a drug to numb the pain. Well it doesnt work at all and im seriously at one of the lower points in my life and honestly i would have been over this by now if i didnt start using when she left, i dont think i really even cared that much about her i just kinda used it as an excuse to say fuck it to life wtf this is an epiphany... arg
 
I think I can safely suggest a little cannabis or a drink and maybe an opiate, but don't do what I did and go see a psychiatrist. Hell I tried to see a counselor and was taken to a fucking asshole cunt bitch psychiatrist instead by the mental health center who was a major weirdo. I had bad experiences with prozac, became addicted to benzos, and had to deal with a bi-polar misdiagnosis! Fuck!
Sadness is very normal, especially if you really loved someone and you break up. Accept the pain you feel without drugs. Let it hurt and if anybody is a dick to you about feeling sad then say fuck them. Go ahead just be sad and if you can have a good time with your buds and puff a joint or have a beer. Just keep in mind Antidepressants don't treat sadness. And stay away from benzos, they will interfere more than anything in your coping. The psychiatrist is not your friend if you are going through a tough situation. They will try to say your brain is fucked up because you actually care about something or someone.
 
i am so sorry yellownikes, I'd say quit right now while you're ahead- you will lessen the withdrawal (if you have any) as much as you possibly can at this point! Any further and it's just bringing you down further. but thanks so much for sharing with us and the OP what you went through, and being honest. I hope he has some clarity!
I was so happy to see all the awesome responses to the OP.... cause as common as this situation is, so is the perceived need to self medicate under completely unnecessary and dangerous reasonings!
I love TDS!
 
The best is a combination of meds/therapy. The specifics depend on the individual and they may even be fine with one or the other.
 
you shouldn't take medication for situational depression like that. It will go away on it's own. Just find something to occupy your time and take your mind off things.

How old are you? Is this your first real serious relationship?

I'm going to tell you something that someone once told me when my girlfriend broke up with me: When you turn them upside down, my man, women are all the same... (It's true, isn't it?)

Your best bet right now is to forget all about drugs and self-medicating. You'll have to weather the storm. So, grow a beard and walk around like the fucking badass you are. Invest in some aviators if you have to! Now's the time to be an angry, mean son of a bitch, a real douchebag.

I know what not to do, I will tell you a story of a good friend named Steve, not his real name, cause I show I am from San Diego, here it goes:

Steve just broke up with his girlfriend of a many year. He was heart broken so he went to go party with his brother and my friends. We got Steve fucked up on alcohol first, and we all smoke massive amounts of dank (good herb). Someone gave Steve some Zanax so he can really get fucked up. Some smoked Steve out with some H too.

The next morning Steve didnt wake up. He is 6 feet under. He never really did drugs, his older brother did and he brought him around us evil guys. I miss Steve, but it was too late. So let me just tell you this.

Its not worth it. Time will heal you, stay away from drugs while you are feeling shitty. I have some beer, smoke some weed, but please stay away from the good shit.

now isn't that the cold truth .....you just got the real answer bro. ask anyone on here and i bet they can tell you a story about someone they lost (in my case and im sure in others , many ) dont hide from your problems they wait for you bro trust me or ask anyone , if you seriously start having suicidal thoughts or your not getting better in a few weeks or months, go and talk to your dr, but i deff recommend accepting and allowing your emotions to take there coarse because you cant stop them i spent over a decade trying , it will pass
 
Tramadol for immediate short term.

If you broke up with her fairly recently due to a painful reason e.g cheated, benzodiazepines can help in that they inhibit memory consolidation by lowering the physiological response to the event i.e norepinephrine release (although they need to be taken as soon as the event occurs). They can also help with the post-traumatic experience but should not be used long-term.

Basically, use tramadol and benzos for the very short-term so as to ease the pain. I am talking of a week of use maximum, otherwise you will run into problems. Psychiatric supervision is a good idea, and you will eventually need to face the emotional issue albeit easierly.
 
Great responses. Drugs used to relieve anxiety and depression typically make things much, much worse.
 
WHEN ALL IS SAID, AND DONE YOU ARE TOTALLY CORRECT. MOSTLY.

There are some people that will never have their mental health issues solved by eating healthy, working out, etc.... they will need meds.

The others, like me, well, I gota say, I am lazy and have been relying on Benzos instead I do know for sure 100% swimming 1 hour a day y& no booze, eating 100% healthy will make me well.

Break ups suck big time... Girl hurts boy, boy hurts girl....

Tis life, there is no getting away from the pain you feel at the time, drugs don't work, if anything i have learnt, drugs have made me 20 times worse....

I know i am posting this a good while after the original post but I hope you are feeling a little better already. You think at the time your whole world is ending, that nothing could be worse, but things get better, you move on and you will meet someone else, things happen for a reason... your lobster is out there, ya just gotta keep looking.... hope this helps, if even just a little....
