    234 banknotes tested, hardly a powerful study when the population of the study is every piece of paper currency in a country. and only 27 in canada...

    And who's to say thats not the case? Think it also relates to where the adrenaline can act, if they dont have the same neural structure (i.e the same lobular structure) then who's to say, even IF (and it is an IF) the neurotransmitters elicit the same downstream effects in the neuron this may produce totally different qualitative effects. Example if our conscious experience is generated in the frontal lobe based on sensory inputs, if there is a difference in those sensory inputs the experience will vary, also if there is difference in the processor for any one of those senses (e.g if the visual cortex produces a different image from the same sensory input compared to human) or a difference in the component of the brain that converts those senses into a conscious experience then the animals experience will differ. This is all just postulation for the sake of discussion because i find it deeply interesting to consider how certain chemical interactions are all that is involved in producing what i call 'life'.

    Thanks for clearing that up for me alchemia. I have just decided to start halving my citalopram dose and see how that works out. The side effects are starting back in full swing now. Peace
  10. MindExpansion
    Presecribed too easily and with no consideration for the individual dose wise and stuff.
  11. MindExpansion
    Jabez, its way to early in the morning for me to elaborate, but what you just said i think is a load of crap. Peace

    Sceletium is a mild maoi am i wrong? Didnt look it up just think i remember that being the case. If the scripted maoi's arent working, i doubt the (generally) weaker natural ones are likely to work, extracted harm maybe but otherwise... Peace

    When you tried the lexapro and other ssri's did you try dose adjustment? or try one dose regime and when it didnt work quickly you stopped treatment? Some docs forget that people are individuals, the recommended dose may not be enough for you, like you say, your response to other drugs may suggest a high general tolerance to things with neurological effect. Perhaps you should tell him that, try one of the ones youve tried before but at a higher dose. G*P its easy to say that and pooh pooh the meds, but my depression wasnt getting any better, and i couldnt get motivated to change that, until i snapped one day and realised i couldnt deal with that shit anymore, so off to the doc i went, luckily my gp is a good one, and he wouldnt script me the drugs without psychological evaluation, so off i went to the psychologist, and only after that when i went back and asked for the meds, did he give them to me, and theyve helped enourmously, also i dont think dreamz is talking about the winter blues. Peace

    Citalopram 20mg daily, an SSRI. Took about 3 weeks to start feeling the positive effects, side effects started maybe a week prior. Noticed a significant change in my happiness and outlook on life. Felt better, more energy, motivated, more social, less anxious and uncomfortable. Side effects that bothered me mostly were sweatiness, particularly the night sweats, and vivid dreams. After stopping them and seeing the rapid decline in my mood I am on them again. There is no point taking them without therapy, it defeats the purpose, medication is meant to help you get in the right mindset for the therapy to be effective, well thats how i view it anyway. Peace

    why not try it out and report back?

    Good idea fancypants I'll have to start thinking of something! Maybe a piece of sea sponge...I like the smell of the beach and unfortunately have allergies to most scents (just some allergic rhinitis). PH I think that in the here and now thing is also called mindfullness and the thought control is CBT, which I've also been working on myself and its worked wonders for my self confidence as well as mindset and I think can be applied to any thought patterns you would rather be without. Was on the SSRI's for somewhere around 2 months, not long enough to see if the side effects settle down (apparently the night sweats can get better after 2 or 3 months) but like I said I think the dose was too high so frequency will be reduced this time round. The rapid decline in my mental state after stopping them was amazing and motivation enough for me to get back on them. And yes meds and therapy are going together. Peace

    Thanks for the interesting suggestions, I hadn't thought of amanita and that An Mian Pian sounds very interesting VS, I'll look into ssri interactions there. And again, I don't think these dreams have much to teach me. They might give good insight into my mental state, but i already know I'm depressed lol, hence the SSRI's, i don't need that depression worsened every morning by graphic dreams of my ex girlfriend, when it was that break up that really tripped me up anyway. Keep the advice coming Peace

    MJ offered no assistance and is a problem that needs dealing with on its own. The dreams weren't spiritual, they were deeply upsetting on a purely personal level. Something to change the nature of the content or something to prevent me from remembering the dreams would be welcomed equally. I'd sooner try calea than alcohol. The dreams seem to be provoked by the ssri i was taking (while also being there when not on the ssri's, just not to the same degree, I am going to start taking it again because apart from night sweats and vivid dreams I had few significant side effects, and noticed an incredibly significant improvement in my mental state and general happiness, and I have now been suggested a different dosage regime which may minimise these side effects. So I'm trying to find some solutions to these problems which may or may not arise again. Peace

    I was wondering if anyone knew of any natural allies in combatting dreams. As a side effect of medication I have recently been having incredibly vivid dreams often not of a pleasant nature and many very upsetting. I've found some info about medications to use for the problem but many of them are quite heavy drugs that I don't want to rely on for sleep. So any info on natural dream suppressants would be good. Peace

    I think in the interest of experimental reliability that question ^^^ probably shouldn't be answered. Peace

    Good to know, cheers ph
