I gave this psych med a fair shot, but it's a nope. I have never benefited from any of the psych meds & part of that is I was misdiagnosed for a long time. I get more out of hypnosis, walking, art therapy etc. BUT I would never tell anyone else not to take meds. Why is that so hard for some? - ThreadSky

Exactly how I felt about Zoloft, Zyprexa, and Lithium. Notice how it's the exact ones they're attacking at the federal level and I'm still not on RFK Jr.'s side?

What have they got you on if its not too personal a question? I have ADD - diagnosed later in life - and take stimulants (total game changer). However, prior to my ADD diagnosis I got given Xanex for a short period. TLDR I had to come off it 'rather quickly' as it had the 'opposite intended effect.'

It was an absolutely horrendous experience which stopped within 24 hours of me coming off them.

I hope you are able to find something that works with your physiology.

It allows them to control you.

And with political control, it will bring you to your knees.

a lot of dissociation from trauma isn't responsive to psych meds. this is our personal opinion and observation only. wishing you more therapy in the helpful to you modalities.

karriehiggins.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, my therapist was telling me that, too -- that dissociative disorders really don't respond to these meds. Makes sense! I have a really good therapist now and we did hypnosis Monday -- it was awesome!

Wishing you the same -- all the great modalities! <3

cries in no therapist atm. just staying afloat the best we can.
we are so happy you have supportive helpful therapy currently.

karriehiggins.bsky.social•2 days ago

So sorry. I hope you will have that support soon. <3

I fear I will be losing it shortly, but what's new? At least this one isn't abusive.

zenhussy.bsky.social•2 days ago

sighs in yeah this system isn't set up to actually support most of us. but get everything you can while you can. you deserve decent helpful therapy.

Because Kennedy is a sociopath - to address just one of those people.

EDMR therapy has done more for my anxiety + PTSD than almost anything else- and it’s a sustained reduction of symptoms vs a temporary one like if I take Ativan.
but that’s just me! other people do well on Zoloft, which didn’t work for me.

I think this has to do in part with theory of mind issues. There’s no healthy separation between your experiences and other experiences when you don’t have theory of mind. Usually this happens around age five, but trauma can disrupt that process.

That’s a really important insight. Thank you!

katekirk.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m sorry, I forgot you were a psychogeographer. You know how theory of mind works.

Sorry if I am saying things you already know but genetic testing for meds was super helpful to me.

karriehiggins.bsky.social•2 days ago

I would love to try that someday!

gatitocat.bsky.social•2 days ago

I am a huge fan. None of the meds I had tried worked. It explained so much. I used GeneSight. Of course insurance didn’t cover it but they have a payment plan.
