Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription? (lemmy.ml)

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can't afford for professionals and don't want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor's prescription?

This is a drug, which OP said they're avoiding. It's also potentially dangerous.

Medicine is drugs, dummy. And ephedrine is safer than ibuprofen, so do a little research before you drop a dumb comment

Wow, did you miss the point. Yes, I was pointing out that ephedrine--a medication--is a drug.

And no, it is not as safe as you make it out to be. I have both "done my research" and spoken with a couple of physicians about it.

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What medications aren't drugs? Please, give me a list.

And your anecdotal "research" doesn't really mean shit against the mountain of evidence towards ephedrine's safety. It's one of the longest studied stimulants on the planet.

Yeah, that's why I made fun of you suggesting I do my own research.

You have completely misunderstood this entire conversation. I just said that medications are drugs. Are you high? Is that why you can't figure out basic statements?

If so, that's fine, you're welcome to be high, but you might want to stop commenting on the internet.

You're a moron with no point, holy shit lol
