Introducing myself

[sadophyte]

Hello fellow researches, I've lurked here a while, but decided to actually make an account.
the Canadian health care system has a hard-on for downers, so I have to treat my MDD illicitly using the only thing that has ever worked for me in the last 10 years, NDRIs. Canada can take its downers and shove it.

Well welcome aboard. Read the rules, don't put anyone on blast without approval and have a good time.

Welcome! It’s crazy to see what’s happening everywhere it’s absolutely shocking.

I was on Strattera and it was bloody awful. I.guess it's an NRI but testicle pain and difficulty urinating are not acceptable
Their suggestion: we'll just put ya on flo-max. How about kick rocks in flip flops....

Never heard that side effect before actuall wow. In my life so far ive tried mirtazapine, trazadone, escitalopram, duloxetine, and bupropion, but the only thing that actually made my depression and mental ilness manageable was CNS stimulants and sobriety.

Im 103 days sober as of today, (including pot and alcohol) just use stimulants for utilitarian or performance means.
As for perscription NDRIs they offer for MDD the most common one is bupropion, but the only relevantly potent dopamine reuptake inhibiting metabolite is 5th or 6th in the cascade iirc, really very weak dopaminergic efficacy, its effects on noreprinephrine and nicotine acetylcholine receptors are the most prominant. It was probably the only one i was perscribed that had any marginal benifit, helped me quit nicotine. But still made me drowsy and that formication effect. Thank god my bawls are fine tho
