    then you are fine. as long as they really know what it is because if the drug isn't available there they might be like wtf?! that aside, if you think it might help and are willing to pull yourself off any drugs you may be taking to trial it, then by all means do it!

    maois would be great if they weren't associated with a high rate of sexual dysfunction - at least those that are highly anxiolytic (phenelzine) - and i just absolutely cannot tolerate extreme sexual side effects. that said, they aren't particularly great for those who have my disorders, anyhow, although seem to be great for depression and social anxiety. they are the social anxiety (et al.) panacea around here so if that's your issue then i would try to have the drug imported and hope that it's not confiscated. look into the legal ramifications of having the drug confiscated as they could be harsh.

    yeah, i only suffer from severe generalised and panic sort of anxiety issues. as for amphetamine, i mean, the thing is that i've never experienced any sort of amphetamine-induced euphoria at all. it really doesn't have much of an effect other than to offset the sexual side effects caused by lyrica and that's exactly what it was prescribed for. theoretically lyrica may help prevent tolerance to the amphetamines via the inhibition of the release of glutamate. it's all only armchair psychopharmacologist speculation, though. i take the drug twice a week, although my physician wants me taking it daily.

    sure, although important to note that i don't suffer from social anxiety disorder or any social problems. i take 600mg/day of lyrica/pregabalin and 3mg/day of klonopin/clonazepam. i'm also prescribed adderall which i take about twice a week at 25mg/day. the lyrica blunts the effects of the adderall - both the positive and the negative (the comedown/crash). the adderall was only prescribed to counter the sexual sides of lyrica. it all works quite well.

    no, i mean, i'm a dual-citizen of the usa and of spain. maois are available in both countries, albeit they're also difficult to obtain in both countries with the latter probably being a bit more stringent. i spent about a third of the year in the EU and the rest in the US. i've finally found my cocktail, though, and thankfully it works really well in controlling refractory gad and panic disorder. hopefully i'll never need an maoi, although i do sympathise with those who may benefit from the drugs but are unable to obtain them. move back to america!

    are you from the EU? i just saw you mention that you're not in a country that prescribes maois - some EU countries don't. also, you're a teacher? i'm a teacher and a literacy support specialist. fancy that.

    Yes. Very good story about the boxes and glad you got what you wanted and were able also to give some pleasure to the guy. I was intrigued that you speak Japanese. I have lived in that country for a few years and loved it - the food, the sumo, the onset and the shinkansen as examples!!

    If things had been different for me, I would have wanted to reproduce myself, but the way my life turned out, it would have been totally insane for me to become a parent.

    With my own probelms, I certainly would not be able to have the responsibility of children, although I do like children and adults too, for that matter.

    There are likeable and dislikeable people in all stages of their lives.

    I haven't had any animals in many years.

    Euthanasia for terminally ill pets should be a "good death" for them, but I learned that some animal doctors do what is supposed to be euthanasia in very painful ways, which I never would have believed animal doctors would do, and did my best to try to prevent it from happening to my own pets, but, oh well, this is an "unpleasant" aspect of having pets, but for anyone who does want to know more, I can fill you in.

    I really do like that new avatar. Dogs have always been my best friends, and often my only friends.

    I understand what you are saying, I really do. But you yourself explained your problem, it's you that doesn't listen to yourself. The alcohol will exacerbate all your other problems, and now your wanting to turn to drugs... Man your stating fights with the yakuza , and your thinking is all messed up.. and you even know it. I have listened... you just don't make sense, your abusive, delusional, think you are your own God. And I am not the crazy one... There is a God AND YOU ARE NOT HIM !! Deal with it.

    I'm not the one with all the problems am I ..... And have never been more in my right mind. I really do hope you find some help... but you have to want it. All of your problems have only one thing in common... YOU.

    Okay, I'm on your ignore list. I don't have contempt for your beliefs. Believe whatever you want. If you think that I am going to change my religious beliefs to stop drinking, which if you were bright enough, would realize is not the main problem, you are out of your mind. There is no personal god.

    And your slowly committing suicide, and what to judge me... You said you didn't want to have anything to do with me because of your utter contempt for my beliefs. I am not care about someone that can't care about themselves. You are on you OWN !!
    You have nothing, no one, and have even lost yourself... if you want to know what category you fit in... lost cause. Your now on my ignore list... what do you have now ?

    And my new friends feed me mashed potatoes, chicken and dumplings, and broccoli with cheese sauce when I walked in the door. I have been welcomed... would you ?

    Also about the drugs you mentioned.... Your funny... but not really. I take it you haven't heard of Narcotics Anonymous ... Benzos and amphetamines are even more of a problem now because of your reasoning. And you yourself said a amphetamines are illegal in Japan. WHY ?

    Not conceit ... personal experience !! Form 20 years of being in rooms filled will guy's just like you, with the same problems. You can get a Big Old Mad On for me if you want, but what good does it do ? I am free, and have the solution... you by your own admission don't have any answers about yourself. Do you really think anything you say about me has a validity ? After the posts you have made about yourself and behavior ? You even scare yourself !!
