Hiya folk, I was struck with a deep sense of concern whilst reading this thread, I hope you don't mind my input.
One of the biggest drawbacks of long-term medication is that our systems become resilient to their effects. As bizarre as it sounds, our doctors know this, but there is little they can do about it.
Stimulants are a taboo in my doctors viewpoint, and for good reason, the long-term drawbacks of stimulants can be quite extreme. Not to mention the ongoing changes within ourselves whilst taking them. We don't notice the changes in our behaviour because we are insulated within our own selves.
I don't mean to seem rude or patronising, because I'm genuinely trying to be helpful here. Have you all got a solid and balanced diet, please try not to be offended by this. Most people do not eat a balanced diet, the levels of vitamins and minerals our bodies need to function properly are seldom to be found within our bodies in sufficient proportions.
I'm not coming at you in any negative context here, I used cocaine for a long time, because medication did nothing for me, but the symptoms of my illness dissapeared whilst I had cocaine in my blood. But this eventually led to even greater problems than those I started with.
My startle reflex response had shot through the roof, and I managed to generate a fairly serious heart condition. Although I felt like I was on the up and up, I was actually spiralling down into dangerous territory. I know this isn't helpful in as much as I'm not resolving any problems for you, I'm very worried that you may fall into the same trap that I fell into.
I can only hope that you proceed with sufficient caution, sometimes we do things out of desperation, but our lives are so fragile, and so incredibly precious.
Keep safe, peace be with you...........
