Tell me your thoughts on this:
I'm not depressed, I just have disrupted reward circuitry.

I found that explanation when researching why it was that after being given a prescription for phentermine and taking it for a few days that not only was my depression relieved, but some very serious joint pain in my knee also went away. And, despite what would normally have been thought, stimulant medication for those suffering from chronic pain does not necessarily cause an increase in blood pressure. Oddly enough it does the opposite. Wait...bam. I died. No not really. But seriously! It's on the internet! It has to be true. Honestly... I do feel better. It's been a week. I can walk without limping. Without using a cane. Without grinding my teeth.
