    Mommy dearest

    Lately i feel my suicidal ideations are turning to violent ones. I flipped on my mom last night to the point that i got in her face.

    Marijuana Vs Benzo Drugs

    I have smoked pot all my life and am just now starting to take benzos. What I would tell you is do extensive research on which strains are ok for ptsd because that is a dangerous road to go down when you have ptsd, as it can cause psychosis, anxiety, paranoia, etc. Benzos don' do this to me at...

    For the sufferers of nightmares

    I realized that while the prazosin probably made me a little groggy in the morning, the sick and dizzy feeling were due to weaning off Effexor. OMG this sucks. He gave me one days worth of Prozac to help with the brain zaps smh. Why would it be for one day I have no idea. I have some diazepam...

    Undiagnosed Mom of 1yo - childhood trauma : gangs, violence, csa, 10 years in prison at 16, dv - dx'd bipolar.

    Thank you so much He prescribed me 1mg right before bed. I agree with you I have doubts about being bipolar...and even if I am I have worse problems lol. I am going to see a specialist that do extensive testing to determine bp so well see. Antidepressants have never really done anything for me.

    Undiagnosed Mom of 1yo - childhood trauma : gangs, violence, csa, 10 years in prison at 16, dv - dx'd bipolar.

    I am 38 and my doc just told me he thinks I'm bipolar. What I can say is I have endured trauma in many forms. At 16 I went to an adult prison for 10 years. I killed a guy that punched me in the face when I was at some strange boys aunties crack house. My life before prison is a blur of violence...
