Is there a medicine to enhance your feelings

Post Reply New Topic

Im wondering if there is any because whenever I get drunk I feel more normal as I feel that I can engage in a conversation. But It don't last long though. Whenever I smoke weed I feel more normal "physically" as in feeling of touch, hearing, taste. But I get paranoid and don't say anything. And when I mix touch alcohol and weed I feel normal if I try to block out ANXIETY. Like if you ever tried pissing high it's like the best feeling in the world and I wonder do NT people feel that way when they are sober.

I find myself talking more when my feelings are enhanced. I've tried depression pills but they do no good. Only reason I was depressed cuz I didn't feel normal but i'm over that now. I'm not even depressed no more though.

Do anti-anxiety pills take away the "I wonder what they think about what i'm doing" feeling

No... they don't.
The thing about getting drunk to be able to talk "like a normal person" is that all it does is take away your inhibitions.. so you FEEL like you're talking like a normal person, but really, you're not. Although come to think of it, in a lot of ways, when normal people are drunk, the opposite happens.. how they babble on and on about certain things, and lose their ability to see how people are reacting to them. Maybe in some ways drinking is to AS what neuroleptics are to schizophrenics? They say that "If you're crazy, they make yous and if you're sane, they make you crazy" It's just so hard to toe the line and not go overboard.
Food for thought.. so to speak..

No wayyy. My anti-anxiety pill makes me think twice about even talking LOL I used to be really talkative and sometimes quiet, now I'm mostly quiet and keep to myself....BUT last night I went to Happy Hour with a friend of mine and her friend bought me a glass of wine and OMG lol I was a bit tipsy and giggly as we were talking. Actually he and I talked the whole night alone....he didn't hang out with his buddies, just sat with me in a corner and talked and drank some beer. We had funnnnnnnn. He even hugged me later and told me he really liked me. =D I felt so special.....and I've derailed from your question. I am SOOO SORRY!! I do this a LOT....ok back to your question, I think alcohol definitely makes me more friendly, and outgoing, and I even get along with guys better!! !! LOL

I got admit learning ways to deal with the anxiety is better than taking medication for it.
Yeah alcohol makes you feel normal and makes you more talkative but it isn't good for your body. And the hangovers are horrible.
I used to take B vitamins before I'd go out and they took a bit of stress off me.

I don't really know. Almost every drug has bad side effects on your body.

My advice is: look for ways to deal with anxiety. Google search or get therapy.

excessive alcohol isn't good for you.. but there's no evidence that small amounts have any negative effects on health, but rather the opposite. It started with all those studies that said that a glass a day of red wine is good for your heart, but they've actually expanded that to one drink of almost anything. So if one is enough to help, and you don't have trouble limiting it to that, it shouldn't be problematic. Of course, if you're on meds, alcohol isn't a good idea, and most people with mental illness do have trouble not getting out of control with alcohol. The physiological effects are also worse for women; alcohol can interact with estrogen in nasty ways. For a woman to have 3 drinks a day can cause the same physiological issues as a man having 9 drinks per day. Not necessarily so far as drunkenness, but damage to your body.
Despite what the DARE program tries to claim, alcohol isn't something that's always bad. It causes a lot of problems for a lot of people, but if someone isn't on medication and can get reliable feedback from others about their behaviour while drinking, it's perfectly possible for it to be a good thing. It's just that if it seems like it might be a problem, it's best to just avoid it. Like any other drug, really.
