    Deep down, I know the cure for my depression is cocaine or meth. I just am too depressed to get any of it and I don’t think mania suits my vibe.

    Edit: MDMA would also likely work, but that drug is almost a literal fast acting antidepressant similar in effect to SSRI’s so I think it hits the nail too hard on the head.

      i mean psilocybin (administered by a professional and in a safe environment) is actually documented to work for some people, so maybe hold out for that instead of drugs that may well be 50% drain cleaner depending on where you get it?

        MDMA is also documented to be very effective in curing depression, but as you said, its not as easy to tell if they used other stuff to mix it into the MDMA

          Pharmodynamically, it is very similar to how SSRI’s, SNRI’s, and MAOI’s work, just with a much faster time (the aforementioned take about a week). MAOI + MDMA is a surefire way to the bus of serotonin syndrome and cooking yourself from the inside because of that.

        Brother I’ve been on bupropion and I loved it. Hypomania is a blast, though maybe not for someone taking to me due to pressured speech. The tachycardia and tremors though, was a bit much for me.

          Yeah I’ve been on bupropion for about 1.5 years. Had an increased heart rate in the beginning as well so we started at a very low dosis, then went up step by step. However the side effects vanished after 2 months. I don’t feel hyper active, I just don’t feel super low anymore. It doesn’t make the depression go away but it allows me to work on it, because otherwise I couldn’t even get out of bed

      the cure for my depression is cocaine or meth

      Adding short bursts of mania to my episodes of depression, because nothing improves my overall mood than a huge rush of endorphins followed by a sharp crash and an aching emptiness.
