I might be in the minority here...But IMHO, I really feel the Doctor's are so flippin' quick to shove a miracle pill in ppl's hands instead of actually dealing with a problem. I wonder...how many people who have committed suicide or committed murder have been on prescription medication?? Just a thought..I know for a fact that a dude from Charlotte that killed his 2 daughters a few years ago was all fuged up on something his dr. was giving him for antidepression

I'll counter this question with another question; How many people aren't looking for a miracle pill and actually want to put in the work to solve their problems?

I'm glad to be going off of it. I felt like I was just wandering through life, really disconnected. I felt like an emotional zombie.

Then it wasn't the right med's for you. Is that the only anti-depressant you took? When I quit drinking the shrink said I was depressed and that was the reason for the drinking (tell me something I don't know). I went through Paxil, Celexa, Wellbutrin and a couple others before I was put on Lexapro. Lexapro was the only thing that worked for me. And luckily I only had to take the lowest dose (hate taking meds).

In any case, once you get off the meds for good, the anxiety/depression will come back. A lot of people say that changing your diet and getting plenty of exercise will help...so you might want to look into that.

Negative ghost rider. This propaganda is nothing more than what the drug companies want you to think.

The drug was the right one for me, it did what it was supposed to do. It stopped my panic attacks. It was all the other affects that were the kicker for me, and these weren't just specific too me, these side affects appear in over 80% of users.

Anxiety and depression is not an incurable condition without medication. Believing that being medicated is the only answer is for the weak willing and the feeble minded. Meditation, reflection, exercise and being generally healthy will usually completely cure all but the most severe cases.

It's really all about the chemistry in your body. If you can somehow find a way to level everything out through diet, food, exercise, or whatever else then that's great and would be the preferred way. For a lot of people it's a life long struggle to get that balance. Medications do help, but I'm with you on trying to do without them, at least for the long term. Short term though, I don't see a problem with it. But I'm not a doctor, and I'm not going to pretend that I can definitely say one way or the other is right.

Man, I feel for you Floppin. Again, I don't like to disclose too much info via internet to all of my awesome internet friends here lol, but I have a short story.

Never done any sort of drugs or drank alcohol, no cigs, nothing... Never even tried my whole life. But, when I was in my late teens, I was going through a really hard time for multiple reasons. I was at the lowest point of my life and didn't feel I had much to live for, although I'd NEVER consider the alternative, I was just hopeless and wreckless.

I have always ran late to everything and don't really value time all that much (my wife is the complete opposite and that is probably what we fight most about). Due to some self-confidence issues, sometimes when I get put on the spot or feel uncomfortable in speaking with someone, my rate of speech slows and I use a lot more transition words (umm, like), etc., things like that. All of these things combined with my state of mind at the time led into a conversation with a concerned teacher and she told me she wouldn't be willing to work with me on making up work unless I sought help.

So, I did. I went to a couple places she told me about and eventually went to my county mental health center and just being in that place was horrifying. People were walking around like zombies... I went and talked with the doctor and told him I "just wanted something to make me feel better." I thought it would help me get better organized and such and reduce my level of anxiety in conversations and help me get myself on time.

He prescribed me 25 mg tablets. I took it for like 2 or 3 days and then went to pick up my wife (girlfriend at the time) from college on the weekend. I felt like I was in a trance and it felt like I was asleep with my eyes open the entire day. I knew I was awake but everything felt fake. On the brightside, I popped probably the best wood of my life that day and I have no idea if that was related, lol.

Anyway, it freaked me out and I quit taking it that very day. I figured whatever was going on with me, I'm introspective enough to figure it out and fix it. If I don't, then people would have to accept me as is. I saw those people in the mental health center and knew I was nothing like that and I don't want to end up like that. So, I quit taking it that day and I have been completely anti-meds unless it's absolutely necessary since. I've probably only taken antibiotics once or twice since then and it was almost 10 years ago... It creeped me out that much.

Best of luck man...

So, there's my novel.

Awesome writing man. In the most non-homo way possible to type/say this, I know you can do it man. Keep strong and focused on your reasons for doing it (child and fiance) with your own strength, free will, and determination.

I truly believe every person can overcome any affliction with the tools we were born with (and in my case, my faith was huge in helping me believe I could overcome my condition). It may take several approaches, but all that matters is the end result. You got this man.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
