I'm on Lexapro too and I notice its diminishing effects on lots of drugs, ice and opioids included, but especially on ice.
I knew it. It's probably killing my ice /opioid high. The thing is that I can't stay on Wellbutrin alone, I need the Lexapro, and not for depression. It is the only SSRI that doesn't affect my love life, believe it or not.
I'm scripted Lexapro, Abilify, Tegretol, Wellbutrin, and Seroquel. And I wonder why I don't feel euphoria at all anymore.
So basically I need to either stop using drugs recreationally "I wish", or stop taking my meds, which is dangerous.
Yeah, I kinda noticed. The problem is that mine is extended release so it's in my system the entire time, in addition to the fact that I just basically cannot sleep without it.
tbh friend, your medicine regime sounds pretty unhealthy/dangerous to me - you sure you need all that?
That's what the psychiatrist put me on. When I told my GP that I felt like I could live without the Tegretol, he referred me to a neurologist who asked for a brain scan and EEG, and was happy with the results. He said he would taper me down to no Tegretol in six months. But then I refused the deal as he told me the law dictated that I hand in my driver's license for those six months! I simply cannot do it!
Psychiatry as a discipline thinks it's God unfortunately. They are medical-model mental health 'doctors' - what else do/can they do except prescribe drugs?
The brain scan is to make sure I'm not epileptic I believe.
I'm actually planning on rolling this summer. Have this killer MDMA that I don't want to go to waste.Same here, it’ll never be what it was. Makes me appreciate pushing the limits on the regular back in the day! Also on Lexapro and Lorazepam, and there is correlation certainly. Nonetheless, I remain befuddled and sadly reminiscent when it simply isn’t there after a sizable IV blast. I shouldn’t ever refer to a dose as a blast anymore, because it really isn’t. The effects work regarding the sought intention, she just ain’t what she used to be. And brings a lot more sweating, that I could do without! I had a negatory experience on MDMA in LA 10 years ago or so. Haven’t looked for it since. Extenuating circumstances of a week of heavy partying prior is what created the situation I suspect. Never had anything like that happen before. My bf has never taken any, and everyone should at least once, imo. I have been thinking about getting us some. The difference between now and past ,if there turns out to be any, will be interesting to see. Goal set!
In all honesty, I’m not sure of the exact time. Definitely do the research. You’ll want to find out the half life of each, taking care to maintain levels to avoid withdrawals and the associated effects. I would suggest talking openly with a pharmacist-not exactly sure how to find one willing to provide the recommendations as their license is potentially on the line. Anonymously would be ideal. That’s an interesting endeavor you have there! I will be incredibly curious about the process and results! Keep me abreast of the developments! Knowledge is power and can be life saving. It’s my favorite.
