You took meth for anxiety? Please tell me you took it solely for ADD.
What school did your doctor go to?? Drug dealers would smirk at that kind of psychopharmacological ignorance. Speaking of which, a receptionist at MGH told me today there's actually a whole department of psychopharmacologists that do nothing but study psychotropics in people at my hospital. If this school of though exists, you'd think everyone would become one. What's the point of psychiatrists these days anyway? We all know they're not willing to give CBT unless it's the initials of a new AD (and their drug rep took them to lunch that day to boast of it).
Although I shouldn't talk, I "cleverly" convinced my doc to trial me on Desoxyn by claiming it may have a chance at reducing my anxiety levels in contrast to Adderall's heightening of them. I also capped it off by saying "then that way I may be able to avoid the benzos."
That's when he whipped out his pad and gave me them. I've learned if you say the line "then I might be able to avoid the benzos" docs will prescribe you meth. Yeah, sadly, I'm literal on this one, as Desoxyn *is* methamphetamine HCL. Klonopin might be habit forming, so let's get you on meth. While you're at it, doc, let's wean alcoholics off of their booze by giving them anti-freeze...
