wednes | No doc for me:

You know what? Having to go to the docs all the damn time and get stupid meds is a huge pain in the ass. And for some reason, it makes me feel victimized by things that are out of my control. And I resent having to go back to those people for my meds, seeing as how they violated my privacy and d/p privilage on my first visit.

As such, you will all be treated to a newer, more pill-free Wednes, free from the obnoxious side effects of "mind altering legal substances".

I think its ridiculous that the same people who tell me how horrible I am for smoking pot are the first ones to tell me why its important for me to take meds that make me sick, dizzy, wired or too tired, constantly thirsty, unable to um...well, sex stuff, and other assorted side effects.

And truth be told, I don't think I need them. At least not now. I have a job and a regular sleep schedule. I take my vitamins, watch my caffeine and sugar intake, and yes, I even excersize.

So take that, Guernica!!!

For the record I think it is a good idea that you stay on your meds... maybe just switch to a different kind? I use Wellbutrin and I don't get many side effects- if any. (the sexual ones namely)I also think you should continue to smoke your pot. I think pot is a far better drug than any other... & I don't think it does anything negative to you unless you decide it does.

I know what you mean though... it IS a pain in the ass to have to go to these people and take drugs. I was thinking I could switch to some sort of herbal remedy- but what? SAM-E? 5 HTP? Kava? St. Johns Wart? GABA? a combination?-what?

I think I do need mine though.

Sometimes I just want to go to med school... just so that I'll be able to prescribe my own drugs.

Hello! I think it is weird that they're giving you crap for doing illegal drugs when they prescribe legal drugs to you. I just don't tell the councellor that I do drugs but I guess that makes you better than me (and I mean that with all seriousness) b/c you're being more honest than me... well, I guess I'm being dishonest with the councellor for not telling her I smoke pot. I also think that it's good that your'e taking care of yourself by taking vitamins and all that. My meds (cylexa) help me out b/c I'm a huge mess without them (remember how I was when I was with Nate? Well, what you saw was the GOOD side of me). It's probably not good to go cold turkey on any psychological drug but maybe drugs aren't for everyone and they should be a last resort. I'm not one to talk tho, I've been on and off several different medications since I was in third grade.

See that's what i mean. they don't know what the hell they're doing, and when you go to them and say "this isn't working" they give you long speeches about trying harder and putting up with bizzarre side effects.

I'm just sick of it. At least this way is honest.

Well, I'm not TRYING to be dishonest... not really. I've got a little boy I don't want to lose custody of and I really don't think the fact that I smoke weed and get drunk once in awhile has anything to do with the whole psychological thing. I get high or drunk once in awhile b/c if feels good to do that. I can totally live without it so it's no big thing. I'm actually in drug councelling right now b/c I had some CT scans, MRI's EEG's etc done to see why I keep passing out and one of the tests they did showed the neurologist that I'd done some partying in the past. He recomended drug councelling. I'm fine, I'm fine. But I pretty much have to follow his orders so... here I am. :)

it sucks, because if you have money, good insurance etc, they don't do that kind of shit to you.

I'm sorry you are in one of those traps where strangers make you feel like a bad person for indulging yourself on occasion. I think its a very sad thing to be put thru just to get medical help.
