hi sci

Sorry, this is kind of long but i would really appreciate some help

I've been trying to deal with a really bad case of depression for the past 4 years or so and now its gotten really bad.

I was able to still enjoy life in ways until about a month and a half and ago when my psychiatrist started me on mirtazapine for my sleep.

That basically nuked my head, had no energy or interest and i just felt too tired to do much else but sleep until the effects wore off.

Then i went on ambien which felt like it did bad very bad things to my head, making me a lot more depressed and warping my thoughts in negative ways.

So as i said its been about a month and a half and my depression has just gotten increasingly worse and ive been experiencing really bad chronic tension headaches.

I would go to my psychiatrist and ask him what to do but theres an issue with my insurance and i'm not able to do that right now.

I've been on temazepam and ive tried a few things for the head aches but 2/3 of the last drugs ive tried have made everything worse.

Well, i'm not posative if the Topiramate i tried had a bad effect but its pretty clear this CVS brand tension headache medicine has been making it worse.

I took depikote for my tension headaches for 2 days and nothing really happened, headaches didnt get better and it didnt make things worse.

So.. i'm experiencing intense pain on a daily basis and I can't really afford to experience anymore bad medicine reactions

Does anyone have experience with intense tension headaches and or medicine that has been effective with a short start up.

And a medicine that is known to cause a limited amount of negative possible effects as in making the pain worse?

much appreciated

ITT: Your face when science fiction movie titles are in direct contradiction with actual science, or have nothing to do with the science they implicate.

>mfw it should have been called Planet of the Other Apes.

Some guy did a test with gorillas to see if they could use currency. He handed them a piece of silvery metal and once they grabbed it he offered them a treat. After a few weeks/months, the gorillas understood that the money was basically being used to "buy" the treats.

The scientist (or economist maybe?) offered different treats at different "prices". ie: 3 cubes of jelly for one coin etc.

The price level was changed, by making one coin worth only 2 cubes, the gorillas responded to this by buying less. The gorillas had shown examples of economic markets.

One of the gorillas, instead of giving the money to the scientist gave it to another female gorilla. She accepted it and they began to have sex right there and then.

Prostitution really is the oldest profession.

It is true many people are too weak willed to suffer the initial sleep debt in the adaptation period.

I am trying to reduce the 'feeling' of sleep debt by easing into it. None of the blogs on uberman that I have read try easing into it. They either don't follow a structured but autoregulated plan, and they sleep erratically, or they jump straight into it. I think this is the reason behind such a high failure rate. Many adaptation systems are introduced to the body over a long period of time. If you eat certain foods, you will only become resistant to them over a long period of time, if you eat too much too quickly, you will have digestive problems.
If you perform in the gym or sport you will grow most optimally if you stay within the bounds of your abilities, if you overtrain or lift too heavy you will injure yourself.

My point is you CAN and most people HAVE jumped straight in, but this is not the most optimal way of doing things.
