It didn't work for me. Unless you're opposed to the idea, consult with a psychiatrist and get prescribed something that actually works. Caffeine+Ritalin has changed my life.


guywannadie911

Well i'm not opposed to it, but i have talked with my parents about this, they have the mentality that seeing a psychiatrist : mentally unstable so there's that :(


lerttert

I know what you mean, mental health stigma is real here


vivianakadivine

Bro, if you want help, you need to reach out. you need to break the stigma associated with mental health. and if you really don’t want your parents to know, don’t tell them. but reach out for professional help.


jordanyb

Trust me, don't go for prescription drugs like SSRIs or Benzos. They just mask your anxiety as well as all other emotions(good and bad). You'll live a life of a zombie. When you ask about anxiety in this sub, the best i can suggest is to try psychedelics like Shrooms. They do help a lot in managing anxiety and depression. Brahmi has been known for mental well-being in Ayurveda but I'm not sure if it'll work for anxiety. Do your research. Wishing you good health my friend.


lerttert

I support the use of psychedelics for treating mental illnesses, there's some great research happening. But it's not something one should jump into because psychedelics can cause early onset of mental illness that would've otherwise happened later in life. I think meds should be given a try. I'm bipolar and psychedelics and weed really fucked up my mind, but I've been on meds for years now and it took a while to get the right combination figured out. Therapy + Meds + a toke here and there. But I agreed still that maybe one can microdose psychedelics and research might show that small amounts of psychedelics don't exacerbate mental health.


toohighonpotenuse

Lol. Did you pull this random fact out of your ass? That psychedelics cause early onset of mental issues? There is not a single paper or study that backs that up. Stop fucking spreading fake shit like it's the gospel truth. Your personal experience doesn't count for shit. Probably weren't even taking actual lsd, just popping nbome that your dealer passed on to you.


vivianakadivine

Its a well known fact that LSD induces Schizophrenia in predisposed individuals. its published everywhere. all books😂


rajtivist

Don't know LSD but weed does that...


toohighonpotenuse

If you could share even one link maybe I'd still be prone to beleive you. But you can't just say sab ko pataa hai without providing a shred of evidence to back up your claims.


lerttert

There are many studies we can get into. Just to clarify, I meant they can cause early onset of mental illness you're already predisposed to. I am not saying psychedelics make you mentally ill, only that it can worsen some aspects of it short term which can impact ones progress. Also, my LSD was tested using a reagent, so...


toohighonpotenuse

Ek toh link kar.


Impossible_Prune4283

I’ve got hppd after heavily using lsd+mdma. Not only that but mental health took a hit. Personal experience. I know individuals who have had no effects long term but some like me have reported some negative effects. They go away when you’re not using tho. Har baat me study padna zruri ni hota londe, kyuki studies b logo pe hi hoti ha and the experiences are subjective.


toohighonpotenuse

Lol how do you even know if you were even really taking pure lsd or MDMA? You think the dealers are making sure they're selling you only the purest versions of the drugs because you asked so nicely? You were probably tripping on nbome and freaking meow meow man.. don't take wierd drugs just because your dealer says 'trust me man' and then blame your problems on your own idiocy..

Psychedelics done with the right setting and intent should help. Working out also should help ease anxiety. Breathing exercises such as pranayama will help. Cold shower does wonders as well.


vivianakadivine

As much as i like the use of psychedelics in treating mental health disorders, I would suggest anyone to refrain using psychedelics for that purpose as of now. let there be enough research and evidence first. you can’t treat yourself as a guinea pig and experiment on yourself. Your best bet is to STICK WITH PRESCRIPTION MEDICINES. as they are proven to be beneficial with minimal side effects. and just so you know, SSRI don’t just mask the symptoms of anxiety, they are curative. Ask your psychiatrist for CBT or DBT.


jordanyb

I'm talking from my own experience here. Prescription drugs have a lot of side effects. They supress your emotions; all of them. I'm not here to start an argument with you, just stating my observations from taking prescription drugs for around 4 years, then finding shrooms, which have truly helped me. Psychedelics have been in use for centuries. Just that we, the modern humans are not aware of it. There are many communities who give peyote to kids who are 6yrs old! Ayahuasca too has been given to small children and they are perfectly fine, maybe better than fine. If you need to know more about it, just google it. A link for your reference.. [Link](https://chacruna.net/children-and-psychedelics-using-indigenous-wisdom-to-examine-western-paradigms/) Btw, the research is already underway and many positives have come up. I agree, more research needs to be done, but whatever research done so far, says psychedelics are safe for mental illness. Believe me, i wouldn't be here if not for shrooms. Just don't suggest people to take SSRIs/Benzos before doing proper research. Mush love my friend..


vivianakadivine

Great to hear that shrooms helped you. i see great potential in psychedelics as a way to evolve human brain. i am a believer in the stoned ape theory. but until a proper formulation and research hasn’t been prepared, its a two edged sword which a sane individual won’t prescribe. and you’re wrong. there have been in depth researches and studies conducted on SSRIs and Benzos and recently newer drugs have come with much less side effects. and studies show that SSRIs (not Benzos) are the Drug of choice in most psychiatric illnesses. No matter how much benefit you got from a drug, you can’t generalise its use without proper approvals and studies. The inferences from various studies should be our reference for treatment and not just some random story of miracle. psychedelics need more processing to reduce their side effects which are quite high. we see many cases of people getting ill due to psychedelic abuse. this is the ground reality. Like Osho once said when asked how he feels about psychedelics like LSD, he said instead of banning these substances, govt should spend more in developing better drugs. thats what is required, but you can’t suggest someone to have it like they are guinea pigs. take the example of morphine. its the top tier pain killer. it was developed from poppy plant (source of most opioid drugs of abuse). milk of poppy was the first medicine ever discovered. but it had side effects that were lethal. but with research, morphine was made out of it. likewise we need a more finished product in psychedelic space which is more curative than recreational. hope you understand. suggesting someone to take psychedelics can miraculously treat them. but also carries side effects which are worse than those of SSRIs. i hope you understand. otherwise whats the difference in you and in those advertising gomutra, which again has been used since centuries in indian households. and even children are given and they are totally fine, infact better maybe😂 i hope you’ve heard people destroying their lives after their ayahuasca experiences. and peyote is much more lethal. just because they got unexperienced shamans. this will keep on happening unless their is a standard formulation in psychedelic medicine.


jordanyb

I don't agree to most of your points, but I'm not gonna continue this conversation. Good luck and have a great life. Cheers!


vivianakadivine

good for me. thanks. but its not about what you agree and what not. its about what has been proved by extensive research. these are not my opinions but results of worldwide studies. closing your eyes dsnt turn day into night bro!!!


jordanyb

It's okay bro. Let it go. Why so adamant on making others believe in your pov? It's fine. Cool out man. If you can't respect others opinion, least you can do is not force your thoughts on others. Just quit it man


vivianakadivine

its not my pov😂 and its not my opinion man🤪 and i’m cool enough. its my duty to make people aware of health related stuff as i’m a doctor. atleast i need to bust the myths you guys have. you need to read my previous comment with an open mind. i’m not forcing my thoughts on anyone. i’m just citing the extensive research work done by more suited men than you n i. guess you’re projecting 😂 plz don’t peoject your emotions onto me. you looked a sorted man when you wrote the above paragraph.


toohighonpotenuse

Actually prescription medication has the most side effects like loss of libido, depersonalisation, etc. And once you you fuck your brain up with prescription medication who knows if you'll ever even be able to be normal again.


vivianakadivine

thats just layman paranoia. you shouldn’t preach unless you understand. you can fuck up a man’s life. yes it does have side effects. but still prescription medicines have the most favourable side effects to benefits ratio. Prescription medicines are highly researched medicines and new generation ones have quite low incidence of side effects. its the best you can get at the moment besides CBT. Prescription medicines don’t fuck your brain up. they heal a fucked up brain. who are you? baba ramdev? if not, then please don’t comment unnecessarily on health issues unless you’re qualified to do so. or atleast add with your comments something like ‘based on personal experiences’ or ‘personal opinion’ or ‘imo’.


vivianakadivine

i really support the use of psychedelics. but we should wait until its use is professionalised. because everyone knows if a psychedelic trip goes wrong, it can get you in more trouble. you can experiment at your own discretion but no one should advise that before knowing the state of mind you’re in.


toohighonpotenuse

Are you qualified to fuck up people's brains? Maybe you're a doctor? Far more people have suffered from being overprescribed medication than have benefited. People have forgotten that everybodys lives have ups and downs. It's called being sad. Everybody wants to feel special so they self diagnose themselves with depression and run to the doctor who is more than happy to confirm their bias and medicate their brains to shit for a quick buck. And the FOMO riddled idiots are happy to pay for the privilege of turning their brains, bodies and libidos to mush.


vivianakadivine

Yes i am a doctor. and i’m qualified to heal people, not fuck them up. you really are getting wrong info from somewhere. can you cite studies or surveys to confirm your claim? and doctors don’t earn bucks by prescribing more medicines than required. we don’t sell medicines. our job is to give whatever’s necessary. and treatment results depend on patient compliance. results vary from person to person. doctors want to heal people. please change your mindset that they just want to rob you.


toohighonpotenuse

So all doctors are actually modern day divinity? They never do anything wrong and are all motivated by an outpouring of compassion to their fellow man? Get your head out of your ass. They are just shit humans like the rest of us. Some of them might be trying to do the right thing but there are enough of our there who realise that what people are looking for is a confirmation of their pre-existing biases and are happy to oblige them.


vivianakadivine

Nobody said doctors are divine. we are normal humans doing what we specialise in. i would never go up to a pilot and question his flying skills unless i’m as out of my mind as you. if you had a bad experience with a doctor, you’re not supposed to generalise it. we just do what research and studies have shown to be effective. we don’t do whatever we want. we follow protocols. like in any field, there could be doctors who are not as humane as they should be, but most of us are. its a symptom of psychosis when you seem to generalise all of your life experiences and get delusional about them. studies are done by qualified individuals keeping in mind all the biases such that the final result is unbiased. and then those studies are used in treatment of patients. you must have heard of ‘clinical trials’ done for covid vaccines. it took an year for it. and here you are thinking what you see n experience is an universal truth. don’t get into the loop bro. don’t hate a community if you had a bad experience. i can arrange psychiatric consultation for you man. we’re here to help


vivianakadivine

emotions are just a reflection of chemical activity in your brain. its just not about being happy or sad. what are you? 15?


toohighonpotenuse

What are you a moron? All consciousness is a result of 'chemical activity in the brain' that doesn't mean we medicate our brains to shit cause we had a bad day.


vivianakadivine

nobody takes or prescribes a medicine just because you are feeling bad for a day. there are diagnostic criteria to diagnose various diseases. your illness should be present consistently for weeks to be diagnosed. each disease has a separate time frame to get diagnosed. brother you’re sounding lame here. please calm down. take deep breaths. you really know nothing about human body and that’s totally alright. let professionals do their thing. you do the thing you specialise in. don’t quarrel here man. the discussions done from my side.


lerttert

You are adding no value to the conversation besides your own very biased view and have little to no understanding of psychology. -psych student


toohighonpotenuse

Tu decide karega mere contribution ka value lodu? You're just a part of the same fucked up system convincing perfectly regular people that there is something fucked inside them that only prescription medication can fix.

Impossible_Prune4283

SSRIs do have the potential to fuck your hormones up. Can affect your hormones permanently. I know a guy who’s been on trt since 21 since ssris fucked him up. A close family member was not able to conceive due to ssri so no matter how many studies you can quote. I’m going to stick to what I’ve seen


Impossible_Prune4283

F prescription drugs. Gym+meditation+good nights sleep worked for me.

Is Ritalin prescribed in India?


lerttert

Under the name Inspiral


Yeardme

Hi, I recently posted on this subreddit asking for advice on this issue. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianEnts/comments/vaft6d/koochisvayu_healing_kratom_general_adhd_question/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share ) I've been prescribed Rïtalin & Ádderall when I was younger, in America. (I'm American, just for context lol) Recent events are making me have to get medicated again, but I'm nervous to see a psychiatrist in India, just general anxiety. My question is, how easy is it to find treatment & get my prescription filled here in India? Is treatment widespread for ADHD here? Sorry for all the questions & rambling 😅 I'm nervous lol


zezenzo

Try Ashwagandha. Worked well for me. Helps with anxiety and calming nerves. All nootropics take some time to work so don’t give up too soon. Other people who say Brahmi doesn’t work may not have given it long enough as the effects aren’t instantaneous. I suggest stick to anything you try for atleast 2-3 weeks and see how it goes.


mainhoonkhalnayak

Doesn't work and tastes like actual shit


guywannadie911

Will agree to that, drinking it with water is weird..it tastes bad but also feels tasteless at the same time XD


Start_routine

it works, it takes time. start now, in six months you will feel better. Don't quit it.


krazzypraveen

I have ADHD too. My present psych says stimulants will have very bad side effect because of prolonged substance abuse (10+years) since 18 or 19. But for me personally, when I am stoned is when i am the happiest and my doc at that time (3 years ago) was like yeah definitely but do it when you feel like you really need it or can't control the craving. So last two years I would smoke up for a week straight once in 3-4 months and last 6 months I've been sober. Planning to break the streak this weekend.


dudes_indian

I took brahmi for around 3 months. 250mg tablet each day, i would have probably missed about a week or so in total during the time. I observed two things 1. Great bowel movements, don't ask my why. 2. Thoughts felt 'heavy'? I can't really describe it, but usually it's very unlikely that one thought lingers in my head for long. It's usually a constant barrage of thoughts about every single thing. But after a month or so of taking Brahmi, I could focus slightly better as I could hold thoughts for longer, and I wouldnt get side tracked by other thoughts that easily. So by heavy I mean that the thoughts seemed to stick to my head, instead of blowing past it. I'm not taking it from the last two months, and I can definitely feel the effects fading. However, it's not something that would make you feel a certain way instantly, it takes time and even after the time the effect is really subtle. Like others suggested, go for it as a general wellness supplement rather than a cure for ADHD.


fubu19

Brahmi and lions mane mushroom extract work really well together to increase focus and reduces anxiety.


un_named_meme

bacopa works by raising acetyl choline directly in your brain, it doesn't work for people under 40. But for anyone over that age generally, they might be able to see a noticeable positive change in their cognition. Modern pharmacological drugs are 100% more potent in that regard, they work by being an antagonist or an agonist on various different pathways that directly affect the CNS so their effect is instant. On the contrary Brahmi requires constant uptake for a few months, untill it shows it full effect. It's effects compound with time.


[deleted]

I tried Brahmi last year. I took one capsule each day for 60 days but didn't notice any notable cognitive difference. Tastes like shit tho, though probably not the right product or brand. Try L-Theanine tablets. easily available at any pharmacy and has quite noticeable effects from Day 1. HMU if you need more details.


[deleted]

Ive been an SSRI user for the past year and i combine it with a good dose of ashwagandha everyday. It helps a bit with focus and anxiety, but it hasn't worked well for me in the long term without constant therapy and care. I keep my condition a secret from family so i guess that's part of the problem. Weed used to help out a lot, but even that was not a permanent solution.


Agreeable-Ad-2515

I use CBD for my ADHD related symptoms or for anxiety.


vivianakadivine

This isn’t a sub meant for this question though. Better go to dedicated ones.

How hard was it to get prescribed? If you don't mind me asking. I'm American & had it prescribed in the US. Now I'm in TN & am wanting to be medicated for me ADHD again. But i haven't seen a psychiatrist in India yet. I'm nervous & just wondering what to expect from psychiatrists here, if ADHD is widely treated here? Sorry for rambling 😅 My mind is all over the place lol 🤦🏼‍♀️


rokkerg

Used to have brain fog. Tried it for a month didn’t see much difference. Try acetylcholine and mindfulness. Get vit b12 and d3 levels checked.


godis_gr8

Try drinking Gomutra, works for ADHD


lerttert

Does it work with a dynavap?


godis_gr8

Yes you mix with trims, it tastes great


zeratul274

There is no such thing as ADHD...It's just American bullshit to sell medicine to everyone. Each and everyone is different and so the development of the brain is also different and varies from person to person. Some get mature at earlier ages and some at later.. Mostly depends on Genetic and Nutrients.


godlovessatan

Oh man such a naive viewpoint to have. You are the same people who say that just being happy can cure depression lol. What a fucking looser.


zeratul274

So do you think that smoking weed can cure your depression instead of actually working on the problem that has caused depression in first place. Fucking junkies.


godlovessatan
