Why Am I Unable To Get High?

Ritalin is actually an 'upper', or not?

Yes but togheter with mdpv and cocaine they only make me paranoid without being high, dont ask me why all those things dont work for me...
But if this guy is like me he will be lucky with MDMA.
 
I use to be massively depressed, suicidal even, until I went on GHB therapy (2 x 5g a night, every night, for 10 months). THAT DID SOMETHING. After that, I was actually able to feel joy in my normal state. Kinda reset my brain or something.

I'm not saying DO THIS, but where there's a will, there usually is a way.
 
You said you're on antipsychotics right? That will prevent euphoria as it keeps dopamine levels from getting elavated,and from you getting high.

If you can get off them. They're horrible.

-lenses
 
What about if you were on Imipramine (a Tricyclic Antidepressant) prescribed for Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Depression (not severe depression though, episodic)?

Thanks.
 
I think I used to have anhedonia, though I didn't know it at the time. Thinking back, when I quit doing insane amounts of speed & meth, all the symptoms matched to me. I couldn't find pleasure in anything. Only thing that would make me feel good was stimulants. It took me several years to start feeling normal again. Although by then I got into benzos & opiates, which is another story... (now I've quit doing those too except for my daily suboxone meds)
 
I would recommend exercise, healthy eating, and meditation.
Also laughter and the development and maintenance of a positive attitude.
These things can "reset" your brain function without having to take the strong chemicals mentioned earlier in this thread.
It may take a while, but your devotion to your own health through a daily schedule including the things I mentioned will certainly combat your depression, which is likely the cause of your inability to get high, and will take you to a better place than drugs can take you.
Then, you can feel free to get high all you like =D
 
I am on medication called Salofalk, and it's for ulcerative colitis. Besides that, I take vitamins, but not everyday. I have never taken amphetamines. I was given an antipsychotic a little more than a year ago, only took it for 10 days.

I am afraid of antidepressants and I don't want to take them ever again. I took one pill of Paxil once and I have never felt right since, but that was more than a year ago. That is part of the reason I am craving a little euphoria.

Some of you seem to know a lot about this. Can anyone help? Or do you know what the problem might be?

I took half of one of those and I wanted to slaughter people, and I'm the archetype of the peaceful monk. Do you feel a bit like a zombie?
 
Do you mean antidepressants in general? Or the Paxil? As I said, the Paxil was a while ago, but if that is what you are talking about wanting to slaughter people then YES. I also wanted to kill myself...I felt absolutely insane.

Paxil didn't make me feel like a zombie though..although I guess it depends what you mean by zombie, but it sounds like you are talking about antidepressants...very zombie-like.

The paxil turned me into a raving homicidal maniac. So unlike myself. And I wasn't depressed, I was burnt-out, very different. That shit is evil in my book. One of my friend's girlfriend was fine and she took a good deal of drugs but she was doing 100% fine until she started taking those "anti-depressants" and then she went nuts. On top of that, it is now known that those drugs aren't significantly more effective than placebo. Thanks big pharma. I'll just keep my MDMA I guess huh?

As for being zombie-like, I know many things can do that and it's a terrible thing. I got it off a testosterone-boosting supplement once... :X

Ritalin's an amp. The paxil experience was placebo unless you have some kind of allergy to it. I don't know why people started obsessing about anhedonia as it's more of a psychological phenomenon and you seem to be looking for a physiological explanation.

Are you completely incapable of feeling pleasure at any time, or do you just not get pleasure out of drugs?

There was a thread like this a few months ago and op kept insisting he had an enzymatic disorder. I prefer to think of these things in terms of anxiety disorders, analogous to guys who occasionally can't get it up or girls who occasionally can't get wet or can't cum. I know that I never really felt high until I dropped acid and spent all night at the Magic Kingdom. Good LSD has the boon of being effective no matter how coy you are. Many other psychedelics are good this way.
 
I don't get pleasure out of drugs. Although after taking Paxil, I find myself mostly incapable of feeling pleasure like I used too. I feel so desperate that I'm afraid that not being able to get a high or feel any euphoria will cause me to overdose, as I cannot feel my limitations.

Maybe a stupid question: Could I have brain damage?

Horrux, I agree. Paxil IS evil.
