I completely agree with Ralf. Most of you disgusting pigs have no idea what you’re talking about, nor do you have any clue of what it’s like to serve your country.

I love some of these answers… cheat, get a new boyfriend before he gets home? Wow. A stand up guy sticks his neck out so you POS’s never have to get off you fat lazy behinds. You sit at home with your coffee, donuts, and TV. You do nothing with your lives. Its amazing. Remember 9/11. Remember how patriotic you all were then. Its a damn shame that it takes that kind of tragedy to respect what the hell we do for a living. We live in the greatest country in the world! You know why? Cause of our uniformed men and women. But its ok, laugh and run your mouth. Im glad its funny. Im 5000 miles away from the woman I love with all of my heart. You will never know what thats like. You will never know what its like to be away from your daughter for 2 years!!! And thats your choice, cause you are too damn weak to walk a mile in my boots. So the next time you have dinner with your family, or enjoy a nice vacation…. Kiss my @ss…then you can thank me…

Comment on can depression be treated with weed? what about bipolar disorder or hypomania? by Brian

Why does stopping Cannabis consumption lead to depression if Cannabis consumption causes depression? Drugs are bad mmmmmm’ k. That is unless the pharmacist or doctor tells you it isn’t. So, don’t forget to take those meds that your doctor is feeding you because you need them. hmmmmm. You need a drug because your doctor says so.

You people need to take some spelling and grammar lessions by the way.

I’ve smoked and eaten a lot of Cannabis over the years, and I probably do have some sort of mild hypomania/bipolar/ADD symptoms, but I refuse to consult anyone about it for fear they will insist on me taking their meds. I feel more functional when I’ve been smokin steady, but not necessiarly while high. Thats just the most pleasent part. The immediate inebriation of Cannabis consumption beyond small doses causes cognitive difficulties in me- most notably short term recall and mathematical analysis during the first 3 hrs.

Im on insomnia meds right now due to some recent legal issues. I am telling you this now, these meds are no more effective then the Cannabis. I would rather consume the Cannabis for many reasons including the fact I am against most contemporary pharmaceutical usage. My life was better when I was smokin, and I had no identifiable health issues beyond mild smoke exposure symptoms. I have been of higher health, intellect, creativity, and drive then the average person for my entire term of consumption.

Just remember kids, “Drugs are bad! mmmmm’ k.” The authorities have your best interest in mind, so do what your told.

In reality, it is up to the individual to decide what is good and bad for them. If they are in denial, well lets hope their problems don’t bleed onto the rest of us.

Comment on How do you deal with sexual side effects of antidepressants? by GH

GH — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 00:01:58 +0000

Most antidepressants have this side effect. Certainly the SSRIs and the SNRIs do. Wellbutrin does not. I am now taking Wellbutrin with the lowest possible dose of Effexor–first 75 mg, now down to 37.5 mg. Sexual side effects are pretty minimal on this dose.

Below, I describe what I’ve tried and the results.

I (over years, with the help of my doctor) have tried different antidepressants and combinations to minimize the sexual side effects. Effexor worked very well for me but at the higher doses (over 75 mg, I’d say), forget orgasms. Wellbutrin (bupropion) does not have sexual side effects, but was not entirely effective against my depression, Remeron does not seem to have sexual side effects (but it made me incredibly hungry all the time and I had to switch off it), and I think the MAOIs do not, but I haven’t tried them–I love cheese and you can’t eat cheese on the, though maybe the newer ones are different. Nefazodone may not have sexual side effects, but I had a bad drug interaction with it and an antibiotic, and it may have serious interactions with many common drugs–also it occasionally causes severe liver damage–I’d stay away from that one.

Good luck with this–it’s really unfortunate, isn’t it!?

liver detoxification is very important since the liver is one of the organs responsible for removing waste materials out of the body.
