i was on probation thru l.a. county juvenile court
for years and i smoked everyday.
i wouldnt suggest taking those pills.
they will fuck you up after awhile.
zoloft is horrible.all those ssri's are bad
they just fix you chemically they dont change
the cause of depression.once you stop taking them
life will be waiting with interest

well i get tested every week and if i fail a test i have 2-10 years in state jail, so im gonna refrain from smoking, and i dont wanna take the pills, but i have to go to the doc becuase of legal reasons, and im not in juvenile probation, its adult probation, as well as 4 days in county jail i spent (harris county, including the whole city of houston)

The only problem I have with anti-deppressants is that it affects your sex drive and when you do have sex it takes ages to well you know

Anybody know any that don't do this

I was prescribed wellbutrin, paxil, celexa and a few more.. Like you, i attempted to replace weed with prescription drugs..after about a year i realized how blatantly ineffective they were.
Paxil was a little fun at first, and i discovered that 8 wellbutrins causes very powerful hallucinations!
But after some time the paxil somehow just stopped working and i developed an acute distaste for wellbutrin.

So, hey, they're better than nothing, but they're exspensive and weak (even in their highest doses)
Besides they probably don't test for all drugs! Just try alternative stuff, like shrooms or acid or kratom..

I had Prozac once and it gave me a happy high for the first week or so but then I got nothing and was taking 3 sometimes 4 a day to see if I could get the buzz back but I never did.The doctor said they work on some people but not others which I found very strange.

I have Fluoxetine 1 a day been on them 2 months now
they are really good they lift me .Seem to be alot happier on them then off
but I dont want to rely on them as Im only 26 .
But what ever you are given believe me they do help alot
