Sorry b9,my bad,i meant the road more traveled,i'm a hard learner.: p

Here's some background,i've self medicated on illegal drugs for over 30yrs,mostly heroin and benzos.
Not knowing who i was,knowing i was different and try to fit in and trying to emulate others and being someone i wasn't.

I've recently know otherwise and know i'm on the spectrum.

And no regrets on a beaten traveled path thus far,everythings for a reason.

And research?How far have you digged and what do you believe?

There are results and there are results,if it don't make money or big pharma lose $$$'s,factual don't come into play.

Lose your blinkers...It's quite clear and in black and white.

The easy way out is preying on the naive and preying on those that are easily led and susceptible.

yeah don't worry about it. i did not mean to make you feel humiliated or anything.

i guess i was a bit heavy handed in my last post. everyone sees the world differently and that's why the world is so spectacular.

uh oh! ODD is starting to affect me.

anyway, no need to go into a petulant frenzy due to a simple spark.

don't lay your head down on the chopping block and say "sorry b9 my bad" as a manipulative mechanism to make me feel guilty and elicit support from bully watchers.
it just will not work with me.

i do not feel that you should have cringed to the degree that you said that as if i was bullying you to submit.

i simply did not agree. that's all.

Don't assume b9,your simply assuming to the chopping block,but you'll always apologize in the morning after,for your narkyiess behaviour,from the night before?

sorry i got to restrain myself.

whatever.

you said:
"Sorry b9,my bad,i meant the road more traveled,i'm a hard learner.: p"

you did not mean "the road more traveled". you meant "the road less traveled". don't BS.

and what is "a hard learner" is it someone that finds learning difficult and therefore postulates them selves as a "sympathy sink?

don't get cranky with me.
i could not care less about any of it.
i'm off to see the wizard.

Don't be sorry,i understand outbursts,anger and frustration,if we don't understand,we have a lot to vent.

Purely subconscious or not,it's part and parcel.

It helps if the receiver has thicker skin and experienced a lot worse,than the online stuff?lol

And i meant a road more traveled again...Take it as you will.

i will leave it to the audience to judge the veracity of your final reply.
i can not be bothered being roped into a mental tangle with .....errm ..you.

just go away and be free. you have been fully released.
i won't hunt you or follow you around or anything like that.

i am not interested in dining upon you.

Let the audience have the final reply?
Is that your angle and let other's be the judge,when i responded to just you.

You know,i have come across this a lot,especially on the spectrum,anything underlying will be tried to make the emphatic replier the guilty.

Does that make you feel better?

Where did you get this information please? I'm on escitalopram too (40 mg) but I think it's only an antidepressant not an antipsychotic.

yes i made an unforgivable mistake. it is not an antipsychotic but it is an antidepressant.

maybe i am getting alzheimers disease...but thanks to the escatilopram, i guess i don't really care.


40mg is a very large dose i think.
i take 10 mg.

but sorry for the misinformation

I have mixed feelings about antipsychotics because of a couple of people around me who take them. I'm psychotic but I don't like being on medication whose long term usage is not recommended, also it doesn't interfere with my life too much and I feel like it's a part of my character not something to get rid of. I use escitalopram (in my case Cipralex) mainly because of severe OCD and since I started it I have less psychotic experiences too. That was the reason I asked, not trying to offend you.

As for the dosage, I was told by my psychiatrist when I was on 20 mg and didn't feel much of an effect that I should increase my dosage up to 40 mg and stay at where I feel the best and if nothing happens we need to change it. Surprisingly the maximum dose is where I actually feel the best. I like this drug because i don't have any bad side effects using it. I had terrible side effects with Zoloft before.
