picture thread: you on meds vs off.

what are you like on your meds vs being off of them?

I was browsing "tumblr, when I saw these two images of a famous popstar that reminded me of what I'm like on and off my meds

you can use any kind of image. doesn't have to be of a person. can be an object, color, heck even a gif.




or for less pop culture oriented people

Re: picture thread: you on meds vs off.

I am primarily inattentive these days, so the last few years I have been very lethargic and sleepy...


I just started on Wellbutrin a couple of days ago and have been tripped out by how speedy it is...


but it also makes me not sleep at night. and when I try to sleep anyway, I hear noises and all kinds of weird things....

Re: picture thread: you on meds vs off.

me on meds (which literally lasts for about 4-5 hours, i think i need a second dose now that i have classes late in afternoon, but will talk to doctor first) also apologize this image couldnt be smaller but it's perfect




me when im not on meds... i apologize but i literally could not find a single picture that would describe it, but most of you here already know what im like for the most part, so you can imagine. if i ever get a great enough picture of me at a party just being crazy energy nuts, ill post it.

Re: picture thread: you on meds vs off.

I have been off meds for 13 years, so I think my avatar is an accurate depiction of me off meds. (To get an idea of what I'm like without caffeine, imagine me standing on my head and loudly yammering on about God knows what while someone is trying to talk to me.)

I guess what I was like when I was 12 years old on meds... is what I'm like at 25 years old off meds.

before being diagnosed, I just couldn't understand why I had so much energy. it didn't seem normal to me. I joined sports team(first track and feild) hoping I could calm down with tons or excercise. nope.

even with 4 hour work outs after a long day i was STILL hyper!!!!

Haha, I tend to cause drama for only that reason. Sometimes my life gets so boring stirring up drama among people is the only entertainment I get :P I don't go around creating it, I just...when I see something is amiss and a s**tstorm is brewing that isn't going to affect me too badly, most would ignore it or try to stop it. Me, I'll give it the push it needs to go from some s**t drizzling to a full blown s**thurricane.

...Yes I know that's immature. But the people I do it too aren't exactly angels either, so :P

I LOVE PHARMACOLOGY! It's interesting learning how eating a chemical can cure diseases, change how you feel/think. I've read countless books, articles, research essays, and etc. on it. If you have an interest in it too or want to have a discussion about it, I'm open to it.

Re: picture thread: you on meds vs off.

I was always so bored at school and very disruptive. I could make even the goody goody kids turn naughty. Only mischevious fun. Then after about 14 I never went back to school. I met my biology teacher in the street and she said "I shouldn´t say this to you but I really miss you messing up my class, it was always more interesting".

I have been the same at every job, I am 47 but really should know better but have such a childish, immature sense of humour (or just unable to control my impulses).

I love lighting a fire and walking away.
