Wonder Drugs: Do They Exist?

Spironolactone. I had subclinical acne & nothing would make it better/go away until I started this medication

no idea, my parents won't let me get help😍😍

Lamotrigine seems to be the only medication that has helped and I never forget to take it. I’ve had that problem in the past with other meds but this one seems to be working just fine for me

Escitalopram is a god send for me. Can't live without it

I take Seroquel 50 and Prozac 25 gabapentin 100mgs everyday ...

I just smoke 💨 going to a psychiatrist soon tho, definitely need to stop 100% depending on pot.

I'm not sure what it is called but it makes my mind stop running so I can go to sleep.

None for me yet 😥

Klonopin. Everyone in my family knows how amazing it is for me, the effect is unbelievable sometimes. I take it very sparingly to make sure I don't build up tolerance. When I do take it its like I don't have agoraphobia or GAD anymore, I get to feel how everyone else does. It can make me go from shaking violently, weeping, freezing, and terrified for my life to just, normal. Just knowing I have it with me in case I need it soothes me now. I wish I'd had it a long time ago.

my hydroxyzine helps during my panic attacks! it’s incredible honestly, gives me what i’ve always wanted during panic attacks (to fall into a deep sleep where the anxiety can’t get me)

Tylenol pm bro that shit wild 😭😭😭

Aimivog for migraines when nothing else worked and I was having daily migraines also cromolyn

4 Zyrtec and 4 Pepsid per day. Was having anaphylactic reactions multiple times a week, chronic inflammation and swelling, and skin reactions like hives and break outs to literally everything. Food, trees, clothing laundry detergent. My doctor told me the max I can take is 4 of each a day. Have been on it for 7 months now and haven’t had another anaphylactic reaction since. I’ve forgotten to take them a few times and those were the days my inflammation and skin hives came back.

Lithium saved my life. Its super controversial but I was hospitalized for bipolar, suicidal tendancies, mania, and being a danger to others at just 10 years old and my psychiatrist made the looked down upon decision to put a 10 year old on lithium and I'm grateful for that decision every day. Idk where I'd be without it. I've gone down on the dosage over many years but I know it still works for me better than anything else I've taken. I also still see the same psychiatrist today which is a blessing. He knows me better than anybody.

I started ketermine infusions it seems to be helping somehow but it’s $400 each session

Venlafaxine, Lamictal, and Weed

Topamax ❤️

Mine used to be 5 mg naltrexone. It’s a nervous system anti inflammatory that helped my tmj for a month

Duloxetine!! It's helped my depression 100% I'm able to manage it much better

Nope, they'll only give me the bottom of the barrel garbage big pharma loves to push. I seriously need a new diagnosis and complete overhaul on my treatment plan.

Yes I do

Furosemide for IIH/PTC

Ritalin for ADHD

Adderall for me! Took it for my ADHD and for the first time ever my brain actually felt quiet. I felt in control and it was wonderful

Nope. I'm on so many, narcotic, muscle, nerve, etc. Now the gabapentin did seem to help my wrists a bit. Wanted to go back to doing normal things. With them at least, but wasn't amazing enough for that. Had to get it upped a lot for my back, and a lovely side helped my wrists, and I'm crocheting again. They don't hurt so much but get tired so quickly. My back hasn't been able to be fully helped. My legs... Still go in and out on being able to walk or not. Super weak. Hope you get answers!

Literally nothing works on me. NOTHING.

Seroquel & cymbalta saved my life

Low dose naltrexone

nyquil 💀

Bupropion works wonders for my seasonal depression

Modafinil used to, but now it just makes me anxious. It kept me alert and alive for the duration, but now I'm just awake and then anxious.

Marijuana hands down, I'm sitting in hospital with fractured C4 that I broke over a week ago...yeah went camping even next day though I started hurting pretty bad then tried to pop my neck and yeah no that didn't feel good so yeah...here I am...on oxy...i could use a bowl to take the last edge of pain off but whatever...may need surgery...

Topimax used to be!

Dmt did

I take Glycopyrrolate for my hyperhidrosis, and I consider the effects to be a miracle, after spending half my life with always-sweaty feet and hands!

Since last year, it’s been water!💦

Medical Marijuana 💕

Ketamine infusions sent my severe depression and OCD into full remission for two months. Other than that cannabis helps with many things such as appetite. SSRIs have done absolutely nothing for me.

Wellbutrin!! I’ve been on and off it since i was 12 and honestly it’s worked wonders. It’s very risky if you drink or don’t take it consistently but it’s worked so well for me that they put me back on it after taking it inconsistently resulted in a suicide attempt.

Psylocibin mushrooms.

Ha. Is there a wonder drug?!

Odensatron

I did at one point, but the last few years not so much

Nurtec ODT for my emergency migraine meds ✋✋

Delta 8. Works wonders for my pain and anxiety.

Ketamine treatments were amazing for my PTSD.

Does music count? It makes me feel so happy and it takes me out of my daily life for a bit.

Only for medical purposes, such as realllllllly bad back pain. If that counts.

The only medicine that helps my vomiting and suffering is cannabis

Adderall changed my life overnight

Weed shrooms and ketamine

Yes! I have struggled for years with blood sugar too high. No one ever mentioned Jardiance. It was like a miracle drug. Suddenly my blood sugars were beautiful. I was a controlled diabetic. I still monitor my blood several times a day, but the sugars aren't the problem now. The Jardiance had to go because it's damaging to your kidneys. I knew very little and then ended up in renal failure. My stay in the hospital helped me completely recognize how precarious life is. Monitor your meds and know what you're taking. I really means your life.

Not a med but cinnamon makes me feel better 110% of the time

Linzess, so far

Cosentyx and cannabis has truly been a life saver!

Yea my anti depressants.

Mirtazapine, did wonders for my sleep schedule

Propanalol

Have you tried going to a pain management doctor? I have been going to one for the last 8 years. He's a Godsend! I take 15 mg of Oxycodone 4 times a day along with 10mg of Methadone twice a day for breakthrough pain.

Acid

Sleep

Methadone, for the AMAZING way it removes the majority of the level 8.5 pain that I suffer with.

Equatro

Weed, 🍄, the works yk

Kratom powder. It’s natural and helps a lot

Abilify

Psilocybin 🍄

THC🤗💕

Lyrica

With how some people have reacted in the past when I’ve talked about the huge difference in reactions I’ve had between CBD and THC, apparently I’m weird that weed pretty much had been a wonder drug for a lot of my mental issues plus any physical pain … because I’ve tried different dosages and methods of absorption and CBD by itself has never done anything so I seem to be purely THC reactive

Cannabis and gabapenton

Lyrica, Ajovy, Lamictal, Prozac, Cymbalta!

Wellbutrin is doing good for me

Alcohol... Then I wonder why I am in handcuffs

I agree. Cannibis gave me my life back. Before, I couldn't function. Constant panic attacks.

Testosterone. It has been so incredible at helping me to feel better in my own skin and has been effectively an antidepressant

No, but methotrexate gave me the ability to use my hands again, so that's nice.

Used to! Klonopin, till my Dr. Retired!

Thought about using Cannibis

Modafinil, Lamotrigine

Don't really know the names

Any pain meds I take all at once to sleep forever

Unisom for me, it almost makes me feel high and knocks me out for sleep 100% guaranteed even on my most restless nights ❤️

Cannabis definitely, cannabis plants like hemp and marijuana have a ton of other cannabinoids besides THC. some good ones besides CBD is CBC, CBG, and CBN

I used to take Methylphenidate when I was 9 up until the age of 15. I really liked this med. But at 15 I took a overdose one day. Then they would not give it back. (Because it's also a form of a controlled substance)

Breo ellipta is the best preventative inhaler I've ever been on. I took 2x daily advair for years, followed by 4x daily dulera. 1x daily breo works the best for me!

hydroxozine is that for me. i take it for my panic disorder and it also helps with insomnia and stomach problems

When I’m about to have a mental breakdown my mom used to give me cbd products to calm me down. It works vary well.

Lybalvi, weed

Cannabis, either delta 8 THC or weed. It's a miracle plant for me

Cannabis, herbal medicines, Zoloft, topicals with THC and CBD mixed in it and going into nature 🍄

DMT, I took it once and it was the most blissful and calming experience of my life.

For me, Tramadol. Never had to have an increase.

voltarin for my chronic inflammation is a godsend!!! I also do this tibetan foot bath that’s recommended for mcas and pots and it has genuinely helped me SO MUCH. if you try it I recommend starting slow and seeing what your body can handle because it does use heat. point being, i can’t recommend it enough!!!

I used to and this medicine(hydroxyzine) would put me to sleep so fast and now that I'm on a whole new medication(gabapentin) I have a hard time falling asleep and I think it's making my stomach hurt so I don't know

The good great green stuff is always great, actually helps combat the nights my epilepsy meds give me that hardcore insomnia and any loss of appetite so I don't otherwise look like I'm giving into my meds from depression which ARE literal depressants they are benzos after all

Meloxicam and separately Voltaren gel

Mirtazapine - it has its drawbacks but as someone with emetophobia and gastritis it’s given me a lot of my life back. I went from waking up every night super nauseous from 1-3am to sleeping soundly through most nights and having an appetite again

Pot

Cannabis and Focalin

I've looked but nope it doesn't work like that. Depends on what issue you are trying to fix. If mental health we are all different and unfortunately it takes time and trial and error

I also use a topical lotion from the dispensary. Helps a lot w RA & Fibro Pain

Xanax 1/2 lowest dose there is every morning. Helps w stress & depression for me. When I get overwhelmed I may take the other half but only if I can’t help myself with meditation or Reiki! I use music as well as the singing bowl they definitely calm me too! 🌀🙏🏻💜🎼

Yes Prednisone for Adrenal insufficiency I would be dead without it

Cytomel, t3 is wonder drug, makes my brain feel like its growing and relaxing.

I took cymbalta once and it felt magical… turns out it was just an allergic reaction.

Cannabis 🤷‍♀️

Yes Mary j

Idk about you but sleep deprivation after a while makes me feel like I'm on a euphoric trip, but sadly the side effect is a short term existential crisis 🥲.

For me that was abilfy, it honestly used to make me feel the way I felt when I did drugs and it scared me so I stopped taking it. It was nice tho 😭

I had to take hydros when I had oral surgery and it lowkey made me hallucinate during the night

Rizatriptan (maxalt) has worked wonders for my migraines!

When my anxiety was at its worst, gabapentin and xanax together worked wonders for me until my daily needs kicked in.

I am a heroin addict and methadone has worked wonders for me. I honestly don’t think I would be sober without it.

Sometimes my benzo is like that. It can change things so fast. Marijuana is like that too.

I sure wish

i take 50mg zoloft, 0.1mg clonidine and 50mg trazodone! contrary to most prescribed with zoloft, it really helps me so so so much <3 i know a lot of people dont like the mental numbness feeling they get while on the medication but i would rather not feel much than feel what i feel unmedicated. as for the clonidine and trazodone, they help tremendously with my insomnia.

Vitamin gummies

Cannabis!!!!👍👍

Also. Vyvanse and Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin helped my depression so much more than any SSRI. Vyvanse helps me function every day at work, which has increased my self esteem and reduced symptoms of depression.

I'd say oxycodone..but really, not for the right reasons. So as for anything that has been taken as prescribed or recommended..cannabis is always number one. And for me, Prozac has saved my life over the last year and a half. I wouldn't be here without it

Also Cannabis

Weed is the only medicine I have gotten any results from.

Delta 8 or cannabis for sure

Depakote is my personal miracle. Depakote in combination with Wellbutrin helped save my life and has kept me out of mental wards for four or so years.

I have yet to find anything 😕

👍 cannabis is the best ❤️

Rick Simpson oil, thc and ketamine

Herbs like St John's Wort, Chamomile, Ashwaganda, Scullcap

Klonipin and Xanax

Klonopin is the only thing that can get me to stop freaking out when I'm in a full-blown panic attack.

My zoloft, at least compared to how I feel without it

Weed for sure

Zofran has been a lifesaver for me!! Helps with my gastroparesis symptoms which in turn helps keep my ARFID well-managed.

Breath work

I've become much more self confident with fluoxetine! so relieving

Celebrex has really helped my arthritis pain more than anything else!

Oral Chromalin Sodium for my less severe food allergies. I still can't eat, like, a whole tomato without my breathing stopping, but if my food has touched a little bit of tomato juice, I feel 100% fine with chromalin. Without it, id be in debilitating stomach, head, and joint pain, and very swelled up. Unfortunately my doctor won't prescribe it :( she's never heard of it and doesn't want to look into it. She also doesn't believe I have allergies so that doesn't help

Yes Adderall and Cannabis

Caffeine

Cannibis

c a f f e i n e. i n. e x c e s s i v e. a m o u n t s.

I take kratom, it kind of helps release the vise that clamps my brain when I'm feeling down, which is pretty much constant

I have general pain from a car accident I had a few months back

Uribel.

for me it’s diazepam, if i take it in time that is lol

Cannabis eases my arthritis and fibromyalgia enough to sleep at night, taken in conjunction with valproic acid for migraine suppression and gabapentin for extremity pain/tingling/burning. It takes 2 types of antidepressants a day to drag myself around.

I've been taking seroquel for many years and that's the only one that doesn't have side effects but I'm trying new ones because it's not 100% like all drugs

Metformin

Armodafinil

Yes! Going on bupropion was like shaking off a heavy layer of depression. Weirdly instant relief. Been on it for 2 years and can’t imagine weaning off. The thought actually terrifies me.

I get super anxious without it.

Journay 🙏

xanax

Hemp extract

Cannabis has helped me so much

Xanax and ketamine but they weren’t prescribed.

Lamictal. No antidepressant boosts my energy and makes me feel normal like Lamictal does. I love it and I'm in the process of starting on it again after a break. I'm hopeful.

Cannabis ❤️

All of mine do. Best part is mine are non addictive so I don't have to worry about them as much. They don't do anything that makes me feel "high" but they make me function like a normal person and I miss it. I've been off meds for 6 months now and it sucks

Botox??? How so?

Cannabis ???

Cymbalta was like this for me until I started having terrible side effects

Lamictal. And medical marijuana.

Cannabis and abilify

Ozempic...cautiously optimistic...

I've been on Xanax 23 years. I went up to 8mg a day down to 2mg daily over 10 years. Now I'm at 3mg daily but I normally only take 2mg still.

Cannabis

Botox! 🙏

Fdgard for my nausea. Idk why but it fixes stuff up real quick, at least enough for me to eat

Psylocibin/magic mushrooms. Was at the end of my rope years back and it immediately brought me back to reality and made me realize all the good that surrounded me. I revisit it every once in a while with close friends in nature and it keeps me in touch with the positivity around me.

I used to take this anxiety medication for a week and the entire time my mom told me that I looked extremely high and it started to worry her cause I could kind of communicate but in half sentences so for obvious reasons I stopped taking them but my anxiety was not there the entire week. I'd like to also say that I was just recovering from my eating disorders and I wasn't eating much at the time so that could've been it but 10/10 would take again if I was healthy enough for it

Methotrexate. It pushed my disease into remission and elimated the side effects of my medication for Crohn's Disease.

seroquel felt like a wonder drug for a while cause I could finally sleep

🍄

Morphine. I had a prescription given to me, I do not take it "just cause" I have it set aside for the really bad days but when I take one for pain I find myself in a happier mind set as well. Not only is all the pain my body feels on a daily basis gone so is my anxiety and my demons. I feel alive and like myself... But I only have a limited amount of them and I do not want to become addicted to them so I only use them as a last effort kind of thing. I've tried cannabis as well, it helps with the demons in my head but it doesn't do much for my physical pain oddly enough.

Only one that helps Weed I am just saying

I like Pregabalin

Cannabis. For me it helps me with random ticks I have and helps me be a bit more normal. It gives me my appetite and helps me interact/not seem crazy in public. It slows me down from the million things that happen every second.

adderall, i need to get back on. i need a doctor

adderall, but i need a dr

Wellbutrin

My dr hasn’t put me on any meds and I’m concerned that I should’ve. I have ckd3. Am very tired all the time.

Mirtazpine

Vybriid and rexulti changed my life..

Yes!!! Marijuana is a miracle medicine that God gave us!! It helps so many people Soo very much!! It helps me immensely!! I have horrible anxiety and I have to take meds for that. But Xanax is the only medication that has ever worked for me. My Drs tried everything but Xanax is the only med that works thus keeping my nausea at bay because I get Soo nauseous when I’m nervous!! Hang in here everyone!! I strongly recommend marijuana tho!!

Cannabis and only cannabis. MH medications have never worked for me at all let alone been a miracle

I used to smoke cannabis recreationally and I know it helped for my pain and anxiety. I would love to get an mmj card.

I have a sleep meditation I have to take as needed. It's basically jacked up benadryl. Every time I take it, if I don't fall asleep shortly after it kicks in I'm just I don't know...out of it.

I wonder what you mean by wonder because I know of lots of wonders for specific people but there's no known ultimate panacea, just some stuff with many uses with compatible people.

Weed in the right context, and psychedelics

I'm a cannabis queen

vraylar takes away my intense mood swings

I use to take Lexapro but don't take anything for it

Metoprolol I take other meds primarily for things like migraines or BD, so taking a medication I can actually SEE results (seeing my average BPM go down, being able to stand longer) is amazing and feels so great

Gabapentin worked wonders for my nerve pain! Took it about 6 months after spinal fusion then weaned off!

Cannabis. I've been trying to not smoke while I am going back and forth to the doctor. But Cannabis helps with my anxiety. And depression.

Carbamezapine, sertraline and lamictil work great for me

Thc

Adderall was the big one that made me feel like a whole person again... it feels like I've been holding my breath this whole time and now I'm finally breathing. It helps me function more smoothly and I feel more emotions towards people too. THC/Delta 8/similar variants. Nothing needs to be said about this one haha Aripiprazole (Abilify is the brand name) stabilized me- for the most part- and I don't know what I'd do without it.

Zofran due to nausea from all the meds

Eating a clean diet is a wonder drug! Hard to sustain but the difference in how I feel is phenomenal.

My antidepressants 😅

Gabapentin, duloxetine and Buspar are the mix I'm on and it's the best mix yet.

Cannabis

My wonder medication was thyroid supplements

Cannabis helps a lot

🍄

Heal-n-soothe has helped me a lot! You can find it on Amazon.

I start my day with a joint as soon as I wake up because most of my medication for my depression doesnt help

I'm on a couple right now. One that was just readjusted to the correct dosage. And the other was one that none of my doctors were willing to try but is available recreationally. They still disagree of it's benefits.

Yes I take the invega injection and I like it alot

Clozapine for mental health was life changing for me

Cannabis is my only relief from chronic pain.

cocaine

Delta 8 😌

Methotrexate, Humira

I used to take clozapine but now i dont and it was the best antipsychotic ever. But im ok now i have other meds as back up. They working well

Wellbutrin!! when i started taking it, it kickstarted getting out of my years-long depression 🤗

Psychedelics, but don’t recommend for ppl with schizophrenia and/or dissociation disorder

Bentyl!

All my drugs honestly. I don't think I would be functioning or be alive.

Thc, Rick Simpson oil, ketamine ect. Alternative medicine allows me functional quality of life so def a wonder "drug" but safer than any pill. Also planning on micro shrooms because it's another wonder drug. My personal thoughts:)

Antidepressants should not be looked at as a wonder drug for it does not give you an euphoric feeling ( like perhaps cocaine). Rather, it should make you feel like yourself again. Feeling yourself again after a bout of depression is cause for a temporary euphoric feeling. For the above reason, antidepressants are not necessary addictive like drugs that give you a euphoric experience. If you have a positive affict from an antidepressant, this would be tangible evidence that you suffer from physical depression as opposed to psychological depression. Pristiq and Remeron( often referred to as California Rocket Fuel) works best for me. Check it out!

It’s not long term but when I took just a low dose of prednisone I felt like Wonder Woman!

Nope 🙂

✨Ativan ✨

Prozac for me personally, it is such a relief that I can finally influence my thoughts in any capacity

Cannabis, propranolol, and nortriptyline are the only things I have found to be extremely helpful in managing panic attacks and chronic pain.

Tapering could take years off on a high dose. I’m deciding to get off after 20 years of Xanax and Clonazepam. Clonazepam is the worst to get off of. I’ve had depersonalization, feelings that your ears are constantly underwater. Benzos change who you are. They change your personality and cognitive functioning and memory.

Be careful with benzos. I’ve been on them too long. You technically aren’t suppose to be on them long term. You will get major withdrawals and even protracted withdrawals for months to even years.

Switching to Vyvanse from Adderall (much smoother and less moody, far less of a crashing feeling at the end of the day)

Low Dose Naltrexone - it has been an absolute game changer. Also Ketamine infusions

Geodon! Our psychosis is so much better now

🙏Lamictal

Cannabis 💕

Seroquel

Amphetamine salts (Adderall)👌🏼but yes and no on that...wonder drug while on, not the come down or the knowledge of built dependencies and such.

Cannabis and micro dose shrooms every 4 days 💕

If it existed It would be life-changing

Ketamine

Latuda and my beta-blocker

Cannabis

cyproheptadine for appetite!

weed

Ketamine

Rybelsus, but you must be diabetic

Cannabis 👍💕

Adderall. I cried.

My medical marijuana for sure. 💕

Marijuana 💕

THC for when the nausea and anxiety get bad. But if I am dizzy then I avoid it bc I'll fall.

Adderall has completely changed my life in the short time I've had it, I love it dearly

My injectable Testosterone, I've become so much more confident and happy in just one year. Also my Escitalopram

Cannabis all the way, the only thing that helps when I can't swallow my food😊
