My first vote would be you, but then again, we don't know each other very intimately.Quote:

They permanently change your brain chemistry so you have to be on one to feel normal
I can appreciate that you do a lot of drugs, but you do spout some utter bro science shit sometimes. Permanently change your brain chemistry? No return back to what it was? Please.Quote:

in short, discontinuation of SSRIs (the most commonly prescribed antidepressants) can result in an individual developing anxiety disorders (frequent panic attacks, insomnia, etc) that they never had before they started taking SSRis... indicating a long-term or sometimes permanent change in brain chemistry, aka permanent damage, fucking cunt
we are tampering with drugs that have only started being used in the past 15 years, we haven't got a fucking clue as to what their long term effects are
But as old school pharmacopia goes, a drug with tolerance generally exhibits reverse effects when the drug is discontinued, and more often than not the brain has extreme difficulty in regaining a normal level of functioning without the drug. Talk to most drug addicts and they will tell you that even after being sober for years, they never felt "normal" again, they have merely learned to live with the damage
thats you in a nutshell, am i right? that's your severely limited knowledge of drugsQuote:

somebody made a thread about anti depressants on alol long time ago and it seriously blew my mind that over half the forum were prescribed them (whether they took them or not)
kind of fucked how easily brain altering drugs are prescribed to children in the states
weed is definietly a cash crop that should be exploited by the government for profit so we can maybe start seeing healthy foods being subsidized instead of corporate corn foods destroying our healthQuote:

that's because you have no control over your medical treatment with socialized medicine. american doctors will typically give you what you're asking for because if they don't you can go find someone who does, it's all part of being treated like a grownup.Quote:

you kind of have to break them up and snort them otherwise you're dealing with that time release bullshit
lol unles your a tranny... pwned.Quote:

Sometimes I like to think about what my job would be like if IT was handled like the healthcare industry
USA
Customer: I want a Thinkpad
Me: Well your insurance doesn't cover the Thinkpad but we have a generic Acer that's almost as good
(one week later)
Customer: I changed insurance companies, my new one will cover a Thinkpad with a $20 co-pay
Me: Ok, I'll order you a Thinkpad
Canada
Customer: I want a Thinkpad
Me: Well the government insurance program won't provide Thinkpads
Customer: But I want a Thinkpad
Me: Fuck you, you're getting an HP and you're going to shut up and like it. It'll be delivered in 4 months.
Yes i can agree to surgery on my shoulder, or can opt to live with the fact my shoulder can re-dislocate from any significant force. Is that what you are saying? I don't get what you are trying to say, is your statement not true for any hospital?Quote:

Nope, you'd have a choice of surgery, or physical therapy, or drugs, or a different, more experimental, surgery. It's not "Do what we recommend or live with it"Quote:

not sure if thats a canadian doctor impression but the health here works the same way in the states only we pay for it in tax and you do cash. like if i wanted to get my dick cut off id still go to my family doctor and he would explain the risks associated with it etc and reference me to someone who specializes in cutting dicks and from there i just pay out my own pocket cause it is something that rightfully isnt coveredQuote:

chillout bro boobz posts on erowid
erowid is a pretty good resource, I make sure to check it any time I try out a new substance to give me an idea of what to expect
from your family doctor (general physician) you would go to a private clinic, and skip the hospital but i dont know the specifics on transgender surgery so dont quote me
