some of those drawings are quite nicely done. [editline]15th September 2012[/editline] i don't give a shit about what drugs he had ingested when he was drawing though.

Why? Do they help? Oh wait now I think you mean if that's what abilify can do then the other drugs you take with cause much more harm.

yes, and they never helped. currently im just taking the seroquel to help me to sleep. i thought it did some good for intrusive thoughts but it turns out all it does is make me sleep. also my statement was that he drew that on abilify, an atypical antipsychotic i've been prescribed multiple times. if that's supposed to be the "baseline" because he was on a really high dose of antipsychotics then why the fuck isn't everything else 100x more abstract than that.

I am suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and they're trying to give me anti psychotics although after a little reading I really don't want them, I think I'd rather just have this "condition"

the thing that helped me was benzos. basically they made me calm down and realize nothing was actually happening. then it sort of becomes like a trip and you either fuck with the people who are "out to get you" (if they don't exist, if they do actually exist you'll realize they aren't out to get you) or stare whatever hallucination you're having right in the face. i stared down a crowd of things that looked like this reflected in the window at night inside [img]http://vulpesffb.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/forest-ghoul.jpg[/img] their heads were bobbling like the bobble head nurses from silent hill 2 and they were grinding their jaws like how cows chew occasionally. they don't know what my diagnosis is. so far it's undifferentiated schizophrenia with possible borderline traits as far as i'm concerned. but officially it's "major depression".

Are you able to function just as well as you used to?

i've had it to many times to count. and all different sorts of things caused it I cannot say for sure but i think i like the new me a lot better than the old one. not much has changed, but shit has changed enough to make life a whole lot easier in a bunch of ways. oh yeah, and i can't trip or tweak anymore. probably for life just to be safe.

That's good, I think I'll be able to get through this without any anti psychotics. It's nice to speak to somebody else who experienced a similar thing

Sorry if I'm offending anyone but this guy really sounds like a fucking TOOL. Or a poser. [quote]“After experiencing drastic changes in my environment, I looked for other experiences that might profoundly affect my perception of the self. So I devised another experiment where [b]everyday I took a different drug[/b] and drew myself under the influence. [b]Within weeks I became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage.[/b] I am still conducting this experiment but over greater lapses of time. I only take drugs that are given to me.” [/quote] In other words, this guy is saying: "LOOK AT ME I make (ridiculously stereotypical) drawings and I take drugs so that makes me a cool artist also gibe free drugs pls btw I have no idea what I'm doing" Seriously I mean come on, what fucking respectable user would use the term BATH SALTS? ps: [quote]every drug known to man[/quote]

[QUOTE=TheMiracle;37761922]Sorry if I'm offending anyone but this guy really sounds like a fucking TOOL. Or a poser. [/QUOTE] How exactly can you be a poser when taking drugs? It's not like '[I]Drugs[/I]' is a certain style or sub-culture.

It's just a fact that you get brain damage when you take a different drug everyday. Also, who wouldn't rather get free drugs than paying shitloads for them? [QUOTE=TheMiracle;37761922]Seriously I mean come on, what fucking respectable user would use the term BATH SALTS?[/QUOTE] If you take bath salts you're not a respectable user anyway, but probably because everyone knows what he's talking about that way?

the guy still sounds like a giant faggy tool. [editline]22nd September 2012[/editline] this isn't an experiment. it's a giant HEY LOOK AT ME AND THIS STUPID SHIT I'M DOING THAT I HAVE THE GALL TO CALL AN EXPERIMENT. [editline]22nd September 2012[/editline] i mean he took abilify, a fucking antipsychotic, and drew that. all these are doing are affecting his mood, not perception, once again. and that isn't interesting at all.

your mood doesn't affect your perception this much. the only thing that was running through this guy's head was "i'm going to take drugs and regardless of the effect draw some random shit"

The bath salts one, Christ, I will now have nightmares.

Half of these you can't even get fucking high off of. Might as well take an aspirin and draw one and call it drug-induced art :downs:

[QUOTE=Kylel999;37792119]Half of these you can't even get fucking high off of.

I don't understand why you are so offended, FoodStuffs. He doesn't glorify his abuse and most of the drugs would alter mood or perception in some way. I understand the purpose of his experiment. I also agree that it was a stupid way of doing it, and he should have done a lot more research on which pills he took rather than just taking everything he could get. What confuses me most is you are reacting as if this was published in a psychological or artistic journal. It wasn't. He did something stupid, and published it on the internet. He doesn't deserve to die. He's not your enemy in any way, yet you act like he is. You assume that by posting what he did that it is some display of ego or pride. From an artistic and psychological perspective, some of the images are quite interesting, considering that they are intended to be self portraits. If you would even consider the quality of life it takes to voluntarily do something like that to yourself, you might get a little more insight into what is being portrayed in each picture.

[QUOTE=Kylel999;37792119]Half of these you can't even get fucking high off of. Might as well take an aspirin and draw one and call it drug-induced art :downs:[/QUOTE] You can have drastically altered mood and perception and not be 'high'.
