Pills for anti-depression and for stress.

I have to take them as much as I hate them. But I actually like them to calm myself down and stay a little more sleepy. I have problems to sleep Dx

If you take medication:

Aren't you guys afraid to get addicted them? Like they turn to be your drug instead a medication...

I've been thinking on these for a while and hoping to not happen to me >-<

I'm going to move this into the General Discussion forum as it is better suited there.
This is for discussing Mene's community. n.n

Ive never had to take any serious medication before but i think some people do get addicted. As for me, i cant stand taking medicine when im sick, but at the same time i know its for my own good.

Shizuka: Then be glad that you never took any serious medication. ^-^ But the fact that people seem to get addicted to them... Scares the hell out me... I want to be calm but not taking any pill form hour to hour @[email protected]

I take Eastern medicine... even though it's bitter, it's all natural and you won't get addicted to them. :D

Nah. I know to take my pills only in the morning, even though I forget a lot. Then again, I only have ADHD, so it's not too bad if I forget.

Mage: That's cool =3 Mines are the ones that some people can get addicted to them when are in full stress

theres always that risk. but it doesnt happen quite that often :3nod:

unless people start taking mroe than they are prescribed. then chances of addiction go up

you'll be fine, Livia, ^_^

however, if you are afraid of the risk, you could prolly talk to your doctor, and he/she could put you on ones wiht less risk or such

I was put on anti-depression pills a couple years back when I was having anxiety attacks. They never seemed to help at all so I eventually just stopped spending my money on them.

I don't really worry about getting addicted to pills mostly because I hate taking them. Half of the time my throat locks up and I somehow forget how to swallow. o.O Considering that, I think my body would probably just somehow talk myself out of becoming addicted if I was on a certain medication long enough to get addicted in the first place. xD

I was on pain killers when I got my wisdom teeth pulled and I stopped my self as soon as I started thinking "I'll just take an oxi so I can have some fun then go to sleep". XD;;
I haven't been on anti depressants even thou my shrink has been suggesting I do because he thinks it will help.
I'm not sure what to think of it thou. =/
I have a very addictive personality type so I'm slightly worried about it.

Yeah, I don't see why people would take drugs that have bad side-effects. I mean, it would cure them of one thing but they would also gain another problem. =\

You should try seeing a Eastern/Chinese traditional herbal medicine doctor. The stuff really works. o.o

Hmmn, I wouldn't say i've ever been addicted. Although. I do constantly take painkillers. Even for the smallest reason. No idea why. xD Maybe I am? Who cares. I've never been bothered about getting addicted.

The thought of overdosing on a bunch of pills and being found lifeless on the floor creeps me out, so no way am I going to take so many pills that I become addicted.

• I know if I'm going to get addicted to something. I don't know why, but I just do.
  I used to be on an insane amount of pills, mostly anti-depressants. Then I gradually got tired of swallowing so many pills every day and not even feeling any better, so I stopped. No tapering off, even though I was on high dosages for everything, I just refused to take my medication. Nothing happened. :|

Hey Livia,
I take pills too and hate taking them even know I know they are helping me get better. I'm not worried about getting addicted to them as I think you have to look at their scientific value and hope that the doctors know what they are going on about. But you need to work on yourself as well to be able to get better, you can't rely on the medication by itself.

I recently started taking anti-anxiety pills. I’ve suffered from stress relative issues my whole life, so does my dad, so it’s very likely it’s hereditary. The doctor told me it very well maybe a life long diagnosis for me. I’m not afraid of getting addicted to them, even though I have a very addictive personality. For one thing they don’t do anything that would make me want them…. They just help keep me from becoming over stressed, not like they boost my happiness or make me loopy. If I wanted to take something like that I could take motion sickness pills, they completely knock me out for hours and when I wake up it’s pretty much like being drunk. I could see someone getting hooked on something like that. I’d suggest if you were having difficultly with medication I’d contact your doctor and let them know the side affects straight away. They may be able to prescribe another medication that helps in the same way but better suits how your body reacts to it. ^_^

I dont take pills../

I suggest find a comfortable place to sleep on.. Like a sofa, I love my sofa!

And take whatever items you sleep with, turn the TV on and sooth yourself, and sleep~ :wink:

I never take pills for anything. It’s not good for you body if you take too many pills. I think people often don’t think about that when they go and take four pain killers at once. I understand if you actually NEED, not think you need, the medication to function, but just taking it for every little headache isn’t needed. I rather just suffer for a bit than take pills of any kind with the exception of my vitamins.

I was addicted to pain killers.
Kind of a stupid thing to get addicted to, if fucked my stomach right up too. :x

i dont take any medication luckily but I'm sure if i did i would become addicted

i get addicted to pretty much anything
if i took up smoking i would so die like within a day lol :lol:
