| | So I'm a big advocate of SSRIs, they have worked for me.
Although I have claimed to attain Enlightenment on March 17th (this is probably not true), it is highly likely that Enlightenment is not to blame for my current happiness.
My current condition, which I may have mistaken for an Enlightenment, or the effects of Enlightenment (briefly summarized as lack of anxiety, sadness, sexual desire and anger, as well as a certain happiness,), or a Virtual Freedom can more readily be ascribed to my regular taking of Prozac and Abilify.
In the past I took Lexapro and Lorazepamine, but I stopped those, then I took Pristiq. I complained mercilessly, but I remember being epic and happy.
Now for several months after my "Enlightenment" I didn't improve at all, but around when I started going to college I became more extroverted, well-adjusted and happy (main complaint being wanting a girlfriend).
I have attributed this to being a healing period after my Enlightenment, now you may say: "No james you're stupid it was the SSRIs."
I actually stopped taking them more or less for the two or three months I had been at college and had been relatively happy and well adjusted.
BUT I have since then hypothesised that since the SSRIs are fat soluble (I have a fatty diet) they were stored in my fat for the the three months (although I didn't have a fatty diet at the time I was taking them.... odd) I had been taking them but having no noticeable effect. Then when I more or less tapered off and stopped taking them my body used the fat (as it does normally) and it was AS IF I was still taking them, thus leading to my happiness around the end of september.
Odd.
Anyways, point is.
Want to be happy? Two steps:
1) Stop beating yourself up.
2) Take medication.
That is all.
Oh btw, Nick, before you do it, don't reverse troll me. |
