Since i was 8 years old i felt very unconfortable, the years went on in misery finaly i went to the head dr. of Psychiatry in haifa, Israel. Dr. rabinovich a nice british fellow,I was given Luvox (Fluvoxamine) he told me that after two years i can ween my self of the med and function normaly. that didn't work fully even though the luvox mad me feel more alive it kept me edgy almost spazy. I 98 i was proscribe clonex(klonopn) so i wont be so edgy and ambien for insomnia. now those meds helped but i dont function well enough to even take them. well i messed up I started sniffing heroin!, I dont need to take meds three times a day the heroin keeps me ephoric calm and i sleep good. and it's cheaper then my meds. its my best remedy
but i had to stop so the klonopin helped from heroin withdrawl if i didnt have that i would have slammed in to the walls. Too the real question if i have to take three different pill three times a day! there must be a remedy in one pill that i can feel alive, comftable,and sleepy at night i am 30 yrs and i want to live not having to take 10 pills which fry my liver. iS XANAX THE REMEDY? for if i have to take meds for the rest of my life i want the right one! Thres a lot i like to to do fishing, hiking, traveling, but i can't do it in a miserable state of mind thank you DR. truly yours Aviam I dont mind taking a narcotic once a day if i will make functionable? please give any advice?

As you can see from my answers to others I don't believe that medications alone are the answer, but medications and psychotherapy is the answer. If you have to rely solely on medications, you would be better off asking your doctor about Celexa or Zoloft.

Having read the book Hypoic's Handbook, which can be odtained through the site Hypoism.com, I have learned why I , like many others, seek the feel ok raisers. The Hyoism Disease Hypothesis of drug addiction (causation) is being proven more and more each day in scientific research settings. (Kenneth Kendler et al.) It is a must read for anyone interested in addiction causation. HYPOISM.COM
