Okay. I'm gonna post about schizophrenia, meth and all the druggie shit many of you beta faggots hate. Just because you dislike drug culture, meth, and me as a person in general, doesn't give you reason to sage/hate on/abuse mod powers to delete it or ignore it. I thought in science we took pride in looking at EVERY subject objectively. And not ignoring any information that shows something we hate may not be so bad? But I can't expect much on 4chan so anyways I'm high and i'll have fun writing this if it gets replies or delted or not.

I've got a theory on schizophrenia seeing as I am fairly self aware and able to analyze myself and im capable of reading journals and the like unlike many disorganized schizophrneics. So maybe my take on my own illness and symptoms would be more valuable to some med students here than the shit you read in textbooks that is not really what happens IRL. Also, doctors know dick about recreational drugs and just go "ADDICTION BAD BAD BAD SCARE TACTIC SCARE TACTIC 20 YEAR OLD PROGPAGANDA BRAIN DAMAGE BRAIN DAMAAGE EXAGGERATE" and glorify and even lie about negative effects to hide them when it comes to psych meds or their meds.

I really, really don't think Dopamine plays a major role in a good number of cases and have evidence, but I'll be honest and objective. Not like I'm gonna make a meth sale by promoting it here anyways. Green texting what happened the last 4 months, Ill add details since i suppose explanations are important

>2nd week of February I had a major psychotic break.
>on no meth at the time. was running low on money and trying to quit via masking WD's with oxycodone. I was 4 weeks clean. No opiate withdrawals. I have had a 720 mg a day oxy habit 5 years ago. I know exactly what withdrawals feel like, so don't try and tell me I had them. I know more about these drugs than you, most likely.
>on Welbutrin 300mg XL, 80-120mg oxy a day. both to get rid of meth withdrawals. barely there but ill take any drug if it remotely helps with anything because fuck dealing with uncomfortable shit
>Break caused by Public Speaking. Used to get so nervous i'd vomit from fear as a kid. decided to try the speech sober since my anxiety had been next to 0 the last year after getting on abilify. Tried speech with only .75 mg of xanax. Went psychotic and delusional and hallucinated from the stress.
>Shadowy figures, Flame like hallucinations but shadows instead of orange/red/blue flames, words become illegible, and heard people behind me, felt the extreme sensation of another presence behind me in my room constantly or when outside (That feeling you get when someone really is over your shoulder. That but x10 ALWAYS), the feeling you have an aura that repels people (Must have been my speech and/or writing. I can write much more coherently again and I finally had a person tell me I slurr words together now a little like I have a slight speech impediment), paranoia, thinking people are splotting against you, seeing a federal agent in tactical gear in your house at night
>90% of those happened when not on meth. I started meth again after I started getting word salad. I'd mix up words, wrong order, say the wrong word, and speaking gibberish sounds/nonsense. Figured my mind was gone already so might as well use like Charlie sheen

>I used up to 2 grams of washed meth (Epsom salt + Lowes grade acetone = anhydrous solution = use to wash the dope of adulterants for near pharm grade meth) at times when i bothered washing it a day smoked
>Heard voices and saw the federel agent in my house at night when smoking a shitload of washed meth. But that was about it. those went away and never came back despite consistent extreme use
>Symptoms got worse when friend of mine grew distant. She promised she'd tell me if my personality changed cause I asked to her too several months ago, so I could start IVing my meth and heroin since i'd give up on life ifi went completely crazy. She apparently didn't want me to IV so she just slowly stopped talking to me hoping i'd forget about that and her. She started talking to me again when i got less disorganized and spam messaged her more coherently when i got better.
>was like i forgot how to socialize and talk normally and write. it took me forever and it was like someone learning english would write/speak
>Despite continuous heavy smoking of uncut shard, I got better and better and spent like 10-14 hours a day talking to people via IM or webcam to relearn how to talk normally and met new people for the first time in a while
>got better and better and seemed to remember how i used to talk/write as I kept spending all day keeping my mind busy
>disorganized speech/writing mostly gone by now. can talk in an IM/text with out writing rambling paragraphs, can speak more consisely but speech isnt as good as before still.

How would psychosis get better, and disorganized speech dissipate if they were caused by elevated dopamine levels like the dopamine hypothesis says? I got BETTER on meth. 0.75 to 2.00 grams a day of meth. If it wasn't for meth, I'd never have had the motivation to talk to people and relearn how to socialize for the most part. I'd have just stared at my screen and gave up and watched netflix all day and got on SSI and just vegetated.

No other drug than amphetamines ever gave me the motivation to do things. All the 'good' medication for schizophrenia does the opposite actually. It makes you lazy, want to do nothing. Life becomes a grind and you lose your sex drive and ability to get an erection too. Not to mention how bad for you AP meds are. SSRIs are harder to quit than meth or amp. Literally. The withdrawals are 10x as severe and last longer. They're just not abusable. They're harder to get off and do far less for depression and motivation too. They're worthless. AP meds certainly dont motivate you. And mood stabalizers don't motivate you.

Infact, all the meds the doctor ever gave me, just made me bored, lazy, dull, unmotivated and not care about doing anything. How can you get better and learn how to function and do things and enjoy your life if the 'good meds' that make you 'better' suck the joy out of life and do nothing for the lack of motivation and depression? Unless you legitimately have motivation and drive to do things, you won't care to actually try. You'll do the bare minimum to be alive or not homeless since all that forcing yourself does is make your life harder and shittier even if you are being productive at 'school' or 'work'. And doctors don't do much to treat the lack of motivation. Just the hallucinations and delusions.

You can ignore seeing bugs or shit like that. You can't conjure the motivation to do things. You can force yourself to do them, but unless the natural drive/desire to do stuff is present it just doesn't work. I'd put it like, trying to jerk off after you just blew a load. If you really try you can but it's just a grind and you don't want to actually. you're just beating your dick because youre forcing yourself to do the task.

That's like how life is, but with everything all the time all day. But on stimulants, you get that motivation and desire and interest in life again. And with out the interest you'll give up sooner or later when it gets too hard since youre not getting anything out of it and sitting and staring at the wall is more fullfilling than doing anything since it's easier and you get no pleasure out of anything anyways.

IMO the dopamine bullshit was exaggerated heavily just to sell the 2nd gen anti pyscotics cause greed + easier to just zombify difficult patients than to help them

Sure. I had my first psychotic break before I tried stimulants. And I thought people could read my mind and my emotions at age 15. Also thought everyone wanted to harm my phsyically, were planning to, plotting to ridicule me or humilate me constantly from age 15-19. None of that ever happened once. I was not picked on as a kid. I still thought i'd be attacked and hurt constantly. The fear daily was worse than when i got a gun pointed at me before, at age 22. first drug was vicodin at 17.

I was paranoid and hearing things before I even tried a drug that doesnt cause psychosis.

Not the drugs. And my hallucinations went away while on meth.....

How would you compare the psychedelic experience with your psychotic outbreaks?

Do you think the use of psychedelics affects in any way the frequency or strenght of your psychotic outbreaks?

>> No.5823068

SSRIs are a crutch which, depending on the subtype, start to positive from a few weeks to a few months after starting the regiment.
Until that happens, you're stuck with the lows - wiki the reuptake mechanism for why, it's fairly complicated.
The average moody teen on 4chan isn't going to stick to that regiment for a year and realize that they got better after a few months.
Furthermore, SSRIs are for serious depression cases. Not 'I lost my lunch money wahhh wahhhh' that the majority of the western world uses them for. They will not make a change in most cases if your 'depression' is just you not wanting to get out of your room like it is with the vast majority of our demographic.
On top, add the needless marketing campaigns by pharmaceuticals to push psychiatrists into prescribing these to people who need to get out and play a soccer game once a week
.
All of that gives them a bad public image. But they work, and they work well when they are correctly administered in the proper cases. And that is why they're the default go-to for such things. They aren't the best by far, but drugs which apply the alternate proven-to-work mechanisms are fairly new and not mainstream.

You want to feel better? One of the things showing promise is huffing low doses of ketamine. You should be into that.

Its a bit different. I'd describe it best as a very, very, very strong horrible weed high where you get self concious, paranoid, feel out of plce, think people can read your mind, hear voices, cant focus, scatter brained, fearful, want to be alone

>Except that the linkage between being schizo and being an addict is pretty well established and having been around drug addicts (not necessarily schizoids)
First off, "schizoid" is not short for "schizophrenic". They both come from the same root word, but "schizoid" implies "cut off from human relationships" while "schizophrenic" implies "cut off from reality". People are diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder because they don't form close emotional bonds. It's very, very different from schizophrenia.

Anyway, I think the linkage between schizophrenia and being an addict is that people don't like to admit using illegal drugs, so people get diagnosed with schizophrenia because they're just fucking high or going through withdrawal.

>> No.5823337

>>5823321
Wrong.

Let me correct you, as I am OP.

Schizophrenia also causes lack of emotional bonds to be formed, and social isolation. However, it also may present with hallucinations, delusons, disorganized thought/speech/writing and/or a decrease in cognitive functioning as well as negative symptoms such as lack of motivation, inability or difficulty initiating or pataking in goal directed behavior, social withdrawal/isolation, and lack of interest in hobbies/life in general.

Schizoid basically means loner with no friends who doesn't get distressed by the fact or want them I think. That can and often is a part of schizophrenia too, but schizophrenia has many more things and may or may not have that aspect.

No, it's because
>schizo makes you feel like shit
>meds make you feel even worse and shitttier
>drugs make you happy for the first time since you were a kid

nigger 2 grams of shard a day is not responsible usage. Anyone who uses a half g of adderall a day has a bigger problem with their mind than with their heart. You know docs prescribe 20 mg a day and that's usually too much?

I'd say you should just keep taking the meth.
But as amphetamine/cocaine induced psychosis is well documented, you probably aren't going to convince any MD's with controlled studies.

>Infact, all the meds the doctor ever gave me, just made me bored, lazy, dull, unmotivated and not care about doing anything

Surprise! This is what life is like for middle class normals. Sounds like the treatment approximated a cure.


I say approximated because if you are looking for a treatment for schizophrenia based on a known underlying mechanism, you are at least 15-20 years too early.

I do meth not adderall. That's how.
>>5823358
no i had no drive to do anything. id be ok on welfare just barely living on meds. i had no desire to even go to school or work. that's not normal life. people want to do things, so they work or go to school so they can do things they enjoy. i just wanted to stare at the wall and sleep and chain smoke.

No, it isn't. I wasn't like that before. wanting to do nothing but stare at the wall and sleep all day is not normal.

If you think it is, see a doctor. Depression or schizo negative symptoms.

Here, let me TL;DR the entire thread

"Hi I'm a schizo who's dependent on drugs, I like meth!"

"Meth bad you crazy neuroscience!"

"But evil pharma!"

"U drugy lol faget I went university u just dumb."

"See I told you you'd just discount my anecdotes because I'm literally a diagnosed crazy person!"

>(if you can't tell, my core point is both sides are faggots)

1. Meth is bad.
2. Amphetamines are bad, but less bad, and they are effective.
3. SSRIs are indeed garbage, even a broken clock, etc.
4. I felt, after typing the list, that I needed >3 to justify making a list, so #4 is filler, because fuck you, that's why.
