> Hi I was going to say a feel for you, except I'm pretty numb myself.Yeah I totally understand and agree. The article is great, I've read it before but your post inspired me to re-read it. Its off one of my favourite web sites. I'm going to try tianeptine. It was after reading about it on biopsychiatry.com that I got interested.
> Take careHi falconman,
thanks for you reply. Feels like we're not alone, despite the fact that my doctors (about 6 i visited) never helped me on that. Formerly i used to think they were hiding the truth about medication, but now i prefer to think they just don't have knowledge enough.
I think our society is very work-oriented, so drug companies and researchers might be targeting a different kind of goal than i myself. I'm able to work efficiently when i'm on drugs, but life feels like crap, i don't even look at my girfriend's face (emotions are gone) and music sounds like noise to me.
I recall many times the way I've felt in the past. I'm not bipolar, but i'm sure i used to have some hypomanic moments. Those moments were the best ever and I consider myself a privileged person for having them. It's a different vision and feeling about life, similar to what people say when they try LSD or something else. I mean, how beautiful can life be when you're able to see and feel things differently?
Really, taking drugs that take away the only things that we really care about (our emotional and social life) is out of question.
Many times I caught myself thinking about street drugs, but the rational part of me keeps me away from that.
How are we gonna have a life that brings realization, when the only drugs we can take safely actually take away the last bit of human feelings that are left?
