While discussing something completely different with a doctor, I briefly mentioned that something had given me a mild bit of anxiety, and even told him that I was able to easily overcome it by simply distracting myself with something else, but all he seemed to hear was “I had anxiety.” He asked if I’d ever taken anything for anxiety in the past and I told him I had, but I didn’t like how it made me feel. He mentioned some anxiety medication- said it wasn’t like the other anxiety meds I’d tried, that it was super mild, non-habit forming, and even cheap- and asked if I wanted to try it. I declined, but at the end of the appointment, he insisted I just try it to see and it might be nice to have it on hand “just in case,” and wrote me a script for it along with the other med I went to see him for initially. I did get it filled, but I have yet to take one. Ironically, just the thought of taking it and not feeling well gives me anxiety.
Is your depression medication causing you too much happiness? If so, consider taking depressants with your antidepressants, ask about our special bundle offer!
Antidepressants are depressants, that's why they don't work unless you have clinical depression
Spoiler! It's full price.

"SHUT UP, YOU'VE GOT PTSD, TAKE THESE DRUGS"
My sister went to the ER for an horrible asthma attack. The doctors told her she needed antipsychotics because she was just being hysterical.
I kid you not, I was told the same thing about a possible shingles outbreak I got! I was like, look at this itchy bumpy red rash! And the doctor and nurse said I was seeking attention and making it up lol.

Diagnosed with woman
My mom almost died from internal bleeding resulting from a a surgery. The surgeon said her pain was psychological. Luckily we went straight to the er of another hospital where it took another emergency surgery to fix
Doctor" You are crazy buy these drugs I make a commission on also that will be $10k for the diagnosis thanks for waiting for 3 hours in the waiting romm your welcome for these 5 minutes of my time. "
The amount of people in my life who have suffered immensely trying to get off even low dose anti anxiety medication is horrible. Surely a small percentage need these meds to save their life, but there is absolutely no question it is overprescribed, and people are getting filthy rich prescribing it.
saying some people need Xanax is like saying some people need fentanyl
The worst part is when they give it to kids. I moved when I was in 5th grade and was generally sad because I left behind all my friends my mom took me to a psychiatrist and they put me on zoloft and something else.. as a 10 year old.. was on the stuff till 16 and had a ton of mood disorder type symptoms which led to more and more pills. One day I just completely started refusing to take it and by 17 I was well adjusted and happy again. Coming off that stuff cold turkey was terrible and made everything 10x worse for probably 2 months then I felt like a fog was removed and everything was wonderful again.
Even the meds that are not controlled substances are addictive and you do go through withdrawals. Took me forever to get off Lexapro. I'll never take daily medicine without doing research again.
Somewhere along the lines doctors just became dope dealers for Big Pharma and the health insurance companies
@@AUSTIN-ss2zd LOL, no. And, in terms of potency within their respective drug classes, not even close.
You get at least two. One for the "depression" and the other one for the side effect of the first pill: depression.
I get one for my very real epilepsy, and another for the side effects of the epilepsy drugs.

Most people put doctors on a pedestal because they believe they are intelligent and doing a service for society. When in reality they're just making money.
They murdered hundreds of thousands of perfectly healthy people from 2020 to early 2022 using malpractice for Pfizer bonus cash.
Truth. And not to mention, the medical field, (particularly physicians) employs a very high percentage of sociopaths.. So think about that for a second people. Lawyers, doctors, and police officers are career fields with the highest percentage of sociopaths/psychopaths. Y’all don’t believe me, look up the statistics.
Most of them don’t care about human health/safety.. It’s all about the money and power, with the exception of the ones who do care.
Intelligent doesn't mean you can't be a liar
The medical establishment has more quackery in it than a duck convention. People think that only doctors in "ye olden times" were the ones who were off their rockers, but then we just witnessed virtually every doctor on the planet buy into the idea that holding a tissue on your face with a couple pieces of elastic was somehow goign to make a difference in stopping a particle so small that it remains airborne for upwards of 14 days after you breathe it out when we've known definitively for 100 years that they, in fact, do absolutely nothing to stop that.
They don’t need to be particularly intelligent although some may be. All they have to do is apply themselves in school to get a job for good money. Someone of below average intelligence is probably perfectly capable if not certainly average intelligence
as someone who's depressed but not on medication, I can confirm that this is accurate
I recommend gabapentin in super low doses
Doctors say take like 6 pills a day, a half every like 4-5 hours is more than enough .
@@tyhollo3426 gabapentin is a nerve pain med/anti convulsant sometimes used to treat anxiety or seizures.... I've never heard of someone using it JUST for depression without the addition of an actual antidepressant.
Sounds like you went to a doctor that didn't think your problems were that serious (or thought you were faking it to get pills, pretty common lol) so they just gave you something that can't really be abused and will get you out of their office. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for someone with full on depression but hey I mean if it works it works and at least you aren't on an SSRI/SNRI 🤷♂️
@@tyhollo3426 Looks like the video was lost on you.
@@NotMe-ej9yz I was subscribed or perscribes is what I meant , to an ssri, I said screw that. I've been taking gabs , not directly given to me by anybody with a white coat if you know what I'm saying, for about 7 years , and it's changed my life.
I believe most medications are bad, I was suppose to be put in seizure and adhd medicine when I was a kid, because I had both , my dad never let me take "drugs" and prayed for me. I healed. My mom wanted me to take meds, she was a nurse.
Not ALL drugs are bad. Not all pharmekia (Bible word for drugs) are bad. But doctors(most) are evil so they to kill you faster with this crap.
But imo try gabs in a very low dosage .
@@sroth2021 nah bro , reads the other comments directed towards me and the OTHER comments I have made :)

Thanks, doc!
Same here. Permanent fucking damage.
I like to spin my bicep stretchmarks off as being from working out even though I gained 125lbs fat in like 2 & 1/2 months from antidepressants. Gave me stetchmarks all over. Another 25lbs in the come off from it too. Sweating through my bed every night and passing out from dehydration during the summer. I hope you've found a way to curb it some. Exercise and diet have seemed to help a lot more then meds ever did for me.
I had a physically difficult time going through premature menopause, all that I was offered was antidepressants. Lost a lot of faith in doctors during that time.
did they not even consider hormone therapy to make to either delay the menopause or at least make it more gradual?
@@HeavyMetalorRockfan9 This was was 15+ years ago and they didn't even want to think about hormones as they were convinced that they all induce cancer.

Bro! “pilly the kid” 😂
I remember when I went on antidepressants. Made me lose the ability to feel emotions, but it was at my hardest time so maybe that was for the better. Still, sucked not to cry at my grandmothers funeral. Then when I stopped taking them I started feeling better, as if the antidepressant was useless.
Yooo Same frigging experience I’ve had
Same. SSRI'S are horrible
You got lucky. Some people never return to normal after antidepressants.
I was on them for a month or so before I stopped taking them, they turned me into a zombie and I figured I'd rather face what I'm feeling than be some numb zombie

As someone with clinical depression, was suicidal since age 5. Have been on most antidepressants, and the works. Now I’m off pills. It’s crazy what a better diet, better sleep schedule, more exercise, can do for you.
Yup. But the pharmaceutical salesmen can't make money of that.
The pharmaceutical companies know people aren’t willing to do what it takes to sleep better, eat healthier, exercise regularly, develop hobbies/interests, read, and get your overall life in order. They have made it far easier to take a pill than to do any or all of the previously mentioned things. Yours is easily one of the best takes on this channel, and I wish more people had your mentality
I'm glad you found exercise and dieting to help some too. I hope mental health is taken seriously one day and not preyed apon and taken advantage of like it is now.
Either its to get to that stage where you do such activities or you are still depressed despite it. Obviously depression has become catch it all term.
I would love to hear about your diet, excersize, etc. In general just your story! It could help a lot if people. I know I've felt helpless a lot and willing to try anything but pills sometimes. You just become aware of how messed up that system is and is not working after a while. And the things that do work, you almost always have to detox from. It is terrible

Yeah I died when I saw that
Gotta love Ryan's humor! I got off antidepressant medications and solved my 4y depression by changing my diet. Keto-carnivore was the way to go for me after a plant-based diet did nothing for 2 years, the meat got off bed in 2 weeks. Food is medicine 🙌🏻
If you can stomach it bro, try raw meat and dairy. Very similar story to yours where health turned around from mostly meat diet. Change was even more drastic when I switched to raw beef
Cheers
I finished my biology degree and I learned so many beautiful things about the human body. The problem is, some classes started turning into pharmacology rather than physiology and the higher up you go in your courses, the more you just learn about medications. The pharma industry has a stronghold on our higher education system and we wonder why our doctors don't refer back to their first 4-6 years of college where they learned about how sensitive your body is to food, gut bacteria, and ultimately proper hormone production.
@@HipHopAn0n I'm dying to try raw for a few days! I'm not sure about how safe it is.. do you freeze it or something?

"Your life sucks and you're not going to do anything about it, here are some pills", yep he just described my wife to a tea, when she exercised and ate right she was down to half a milligram of one pill, then she saw her doctor and then ramped everything right back up again and now she's not exercising or eating right and is twice the woman she used to be, literally
Maybe have a talk with her
Not sure if joke. But you should try to get her to stop.

@@jaydog9508 have you tried smacking some sense into her
Back in high-school my best friend got put on anti depressants because he got caught with weed, then he attempted suicide a couple times and got addicted to heroin. Now he's doing relatively ok but his life was hell for like 15 years
It really doesn't mean sad. Depressed and in need of meds means something else. In other words His doctor thinks he's such a nobody that he can't even imagine any aspect of being a somebody . He is the remaining body of someone who has been insulted so much that now he's his own remaining body. I can just imagine him shaking like h*t l*r trying to tell his Dr hello
... its so sad, it becomes like a self fulfilling prophecy... but its actually the anti-depressants that cause the suicidal attempts
The blind guy seemed pretty satisfied with things at least 😂
"Your life sucks and you're not going to do anything about it, so just take these pills and get out of my office. You smell bad."
I had an ex on "anxiety pills" whatever tf that is along side 2 antidepressants and a mood stabilizer. But when I asked why she didn't just try to face her issues and work through her problems I was the crazy one.
As someone who has worked in a toxicology lab and has seen the lists of meds people are on, I can say that this is very accurate.
no joke this is the video I personally laughed at the hardest of yours. fuckin legend.
I love when people praise the "happiness levels" in Scandinavia without also citing the massively high anti-depressant usage in those countries.
Back in high school basically all my friends were on antidepressants and there is absolutely no way every one of them needed it. Drug dealing doctors ruined kids lives and they deserve consequences.
My mom was given Klonopin (benzo) in 2019. About 4 weeks later she suddenly became a completely different person. Extremely anxious, depressive, agoraphobia, aggressive, fearful, muscle spams, etc. It took her months of hell to slowly taper off of it and become her normal self again (quitting a benzo cold turkey can be dangerous, even life threatening). These drugs cause changes in your brain, namely the powering down of some of your receptors for GABA, a calming neurotransmitter. These cannot be quickly/easily "flipped back on," causing you to get stuck in "fight or flight" mode. Doctors then frequently interpret that adverse reaction -- which is actually "tolerance withdrawal" in some cases -- as "proof" that you need more drugs. Similar story with antidepressants. Read The Ashton Manual and watch Medicating Normal.
Ryan is the best at finishing others sentences
"I don't even remember if I have kids ..." - I think that's too close to real ... But well done!

My girl, who is a ray of sunshine, had a pulled muscle in her shoulder. She went in for a consultation, and was offered zoloft.
Glad the puppies are getting use.
My experience with zoloft years ago was a two week honeymoon phase of feeling good. Then a crazy urge to drink with heavy euphoria while drinking and blacking out after a few that'd normally never be even close to a black out. However I'd be totally functional apparently and no one knew I was blacked out. I told my doctor and now he thinks I'm an alcoholic to this day.
Having once been prescribed percs after surgery I can confirm they're awesome and also I know not to trust myself ever to visit Dr. Pill
they're awesome until you need them to feel normal.
The Pills Have Eyes?
i had post viral fatigue and had been trying to get any GP to do anything to help. one eventually tricked me into taking anti depressants for months. was absolutely awful, i had every side effect under the sun, and the worst thing, was the effect that i think is supposed to be the benefit of them, was i couldnt feel anything emotionally. THAT was the most disturbing part of taking them. after that was the random anxiety attacks that came out of nowhere for no reason. then the invasive thoughts i couldnt control.
why anyone decided this chemical is good for depressed people i have no idea. unless the desired result was just for depressed people to stop feeling anything at all and stop coming back to the doctor, then eventually off themselves. then they work great.
You ever get over post viral fatigue? Dealing with long Covid issues and slowly getting better but my idiot doctors told me I had anxiety when I have physical symptoms like tremors and nerve pain😂😭docs are a total joke
@@lauren3220 unfortunately no. been going on about 7-8 years now. affects me mentally mostly, my memory and brain power is like a limited tank, and when its gone i start getting petit mal seizures if i keep pushing myself (which i cant even get the doctors to diagnose, they just keep saying i'm "probably just falling asleep from being tired"....even though i always "wake up" a few seconds later). Physically i think having a base line of being pretty fit helped, i was still as strong as i was but if i did anything strenuous it'd take far longer to recover, and it'd also use up my mental energy. so if i was careful with how much i did each week i wouldn't get any worse, but sometimes i'd end up needing to do some bigger projects and it'd take me a week or two of rest to get over it. like laying some laminate floor, doing some garden work, some decorating. I could still do things, i'd just get exhausted faster and have to rest. Managed to find a workable balance of things i could do each week, but still had times where it'd get worse seemingly for no reason. And over time it was starting to wear me down that i basically wasn't ever going to be able to do enough to get by, work a job that pays enough to own property...
Now i have the added luxury of having some bad side effects after my covid jab. literally minutes after, completely different from the viral fatigue, yet now all i can get from doctors is that its all just my post viral fatigue, definitely nothing to do with the injection i got 30 minutes before all the side effect, and that are all side effect listed on the spec sheet for said injection, muscle pains, joint pain, weakness in hands and legs, nerve pain, swelling, muscle twitching.... all things known to be side effects, but them happening to me for nearly a year and a half now, definitely nothing to do with any injection....
Can't even use a hand saw my hands hurt and are noticeably weaker. Even with the chronic fatigue i used to do grip strength training, so i had a picture i found on my phone that i took showing my grip strength when i first bought a grip strength meter. could pull 120lbs with my right. then i built up to exercising with a 150lb spring, then a 200lb, and could eventually close a 250lb for one rep. now if i check the meter i can grip about 45lbs. Which is crap, and it hurts to do it just once, and then quickly i lose all strength entirely and my hand locks up and can barely move it. completely different from the chronic fatigue, but no doctor is going to risk their license and stand up for me claiming its the jabs fault, and so they are now just resorting to using the fatigue as a reason to fob me off.
my patience for doctors was worn thin before all this with their completely incompetence with the chronic fatigue, and all the other times i've been screwed over by them, now i'm actively pissed off.
edit: at firs ti though maybe all these tens of thousands of cases of long covid meant the whole "post viral fatigue" condition might get more treatment options. but it seems the long covid clinics the nhs setup are pointless, and anything that might come as a result of all these new cases is going to take years before anything happens, if it ever does.
Makes me want to get a degree and cure my own problem, but at the moment i can barely get the energy to go cut a piece of wood.
That was also just the side effects of one medication. There's many other medications out there and some people need them, like myself. True depression is a chemical imbalance. The goal is supposed to make a person with depression feel more normal and balanced. Not make a person who is already balanced to feel high or overly happy.
Having been on 9 meds at once (not cancer or rare disease) this is 100% accurate.
I had anxiety for a while a few years ago. Not only doctors, but also people around me wanted me to take medication. I always refused and I'm glad I did as I was forced to deal with the issue right in the face. Now I'm mostly okay and haven't had an anxiety attack in months. If you have anxiety, it does get better.
I'm so happy Dr. Long is around. My second cousin had one of those nightmares where her husband cheated in the dream. I was prescribed 14 different antidepressants.

No, it doesn't matter that you never disciplined them, and put a screen in their face starting at 2 to occupy them, it's definitely a chemical problem that can be fixed with our chemicals.
@@MansterBear You just described 60% of my classmates back in the day. Pharmacists have black souls, they don't care at all about frying a kid's brain because their parents are negligent. Too many doctors refuse to say "no" when they very damn well know they should.
@@publiusventidiusbassus1232 Yea. My step mom put my little sister on it when she was younger. She was always wacky and silly, and once they put her on it she'd sit in front of the TV like a zombie. We'd come in to make a joke or get a rise out of her and she'd just blankly stare at you and give you a little laugh and look back at the TV.
Luckily, after about 2 years, they realized it wasn't doing anything for her, and her grades were dropping, so they took her off of it.
They tried to give it to me in 2nd grade because I'd get my work done fast and then get in trouble for talking too much. My mom told them it wasn't happening and that was the end of it. I ended up making almost straight As throughout all of school and ended up with an Mech. Engineering. degree and am now a design engineer. Glad my mom didn't drug me up to keep me from "talking too much".
My grandfather was having heart palpitations, so he went to see his doctor. While in the waiting room, he read a magazine article that said how one of the medications he was on could cause... heart palpitations! He then asked the doctor if the medication might be causing his recent heart problem. The doctor's response? 'That's impossible, where on earth did you hear such a thing?!' He wasn't exactly happy when my grandfather showed him the article.
What a beautiful pillanthropist 🙏
As someone studying medicine, this is HILARIOUS! My pharmacology professor would give Ryan a solid B- 😂
Please be the doctor that gives out pills like candy on Halloween
I’m a PA in family medicine and I routinely tell my patients that their “depression” and “anxiety” sounds like normal stress. I mean so many of my patients don’t even fit the DSM-5 criteria for depression but have been getting their meds refilled for years with no questions asked. I had a patient come in for med refills for post-partum depression and I asked “so how many weeks ago was the delivery?” she said “Oh it’s been 3 years” 😳 now she is taking care of a toddler and is tired and stressed out by it. Like yeah, I bet 😏
The problem is that insurance companies pay for the meds bc most of them are cheap, but they don’t always cover psychotherapy so recommending it isn’t always a fruitful endeavor and the patients expect you to do something for them.
This sketch is accurate about "doctors" giving out antidepressants like candy on Halloween but from my experience getting benzos from the doctor is all but impossible unless you have private insurance or pay $500 for a private appointment from these places that will give you a script. The only other option I can think of is buying them off the internet or the street which is too risky IMO.

One of your best videos this year. Also nice seeing Danny’s puppies being put to use on this channel.
I was going through a rough time in my 20s and called my therapist to talk through it. Instead she said she could prescribe me antidepressants.... I declined and went to someone else
When I was 15 years old my psychiatrist--who, years later, was more or less run out of town for slanging pills--prescribed me abilify for my bipolar, a powerful antipsychotic medication that isn't even supposed to be prescribed to people under 18. Well, I had a nightmarish reaction to the tune of a complete break from reality, terrible panic attacks and disorientation. I was so scared I was losing my mind, like a complete fucking idiot, I actually sought help, and this same doctor suggests that I go to a local psychiatric hospital for an overnight evaluation. So I consented, but I ended up being held against my will there for a whole week until my parents took me out. Some horrible things happened to me while I was in there, and to add insult to injury, at the end of it all they diagnosed me with "marijuana induced psychosis". Weird, how the only time pot ever made me psychotic was also the same time I was being prescribed a medication I shouldn't even have been taking.... These doctors ruin peoples' lives and they'll gladly do it for a quick buck. That's why they're pushing this gender therapy stuff now--they can't make money anymore off of turning people into lifelong addicts, so now they're just turning people into lifelong patients, and doing so at as early of an age as possible.
One of the best videos so far. Thanks Boys!
In my abnormal psych class in college I remember my teacher saying something like :
There's actually no studies that show anti-anxiety medications are helpful at all in the long term and they're incredibly habit forming. Their only officiallly recognized proper use is in treating severe anxiety attacks and should not be taken more than 2 or 3 days in a row.... BUT in the real world, we give these out for years. that's just how it is...
I dropped out of college soon after realizing it had nothing to do with health.
To be fair in my country (Poland) doctors are nervous about prescribing them and standard procedure seems to be only give them in early phase of treating a depression only if person has some dangerous ideation.
I love your stuff Ryan. Boys!

It's amazing how many pills there are to get rid of normal human emotions.
Reminds me of the book The Giver by Lois Lowry
It's amazing how many 'anti-drug' people "can't live without coffee" as they smoke utterly pointless tobacco whilst deludedly thinking they've got the moral highground. As they live for the weekend so they can get blitzed on booze, with constant Psychological Projection about people who use or are abused by other drugs.
@@TheHorseshoePartyUK Hasty generalizations.
@@mycatwilleatyou7569 Are you a Marxist or a Trumptard? You're all as short on Facts and Logic as each other 😂😂😂😂
@@TheHorseshoePartyUK lol okay. The only comment I made was about a book I read. You went off on this ranting tangent about this and that, trying to connect dots that don't inherently connect. Then you continue with ad hominem attacks. Whatever man, good luck with that.
Video is hilarious... but Zoloft saved my life. I'm on the lowest dose and I've been on it for over 16 years. Big fan of Ryan's comedy and he's not wrong about some docs with this approach.
I did different ssri on very low dose might not have saved my life but allowed me to do a 180 in my life and doing very well. I one day want to get off of them as I’ve been on for a year and some months glad to hear you doing well
I work in mental health and can sadly confirm this is accurate....!
Too many people want a label so they don't have to take responsibility.
Medication will only subdue *normal* emotional reactions to circumstances, it won't change anything.
In all honesty, someone like you shouldn't be in the mental health field if you have that judgmental opinion. People looking for a diagnosis, want a name to the face of their symptoms. They want to know why they feel so crappy all the time. Medications are not meant for people who are on the normal spectrum. They are meant for people who have a true imbalance chemically who need to get to the balanced level. So I'm guessing that your position in the mental health field is probably just cleaning toilets in a clinic or something
@@rosegroshek1218 Okay, i'll bite.
Educate me.
Tell me what I've said that is judgmental and incorrect.
Also, why did you feel the need to insult me?
@@rosegroshek1218wow talk about judgmental. You're projecting 😂 I also work in healthcare and people want quick fix. I also have depression, I'm not on antidepressants but I do take supplements like magnesium and ashwagandha. I find regular sleep, diet , exercise and stress management helps anxiety and depression at bay.
Prime example of comedians being the mediators between society and uncomfortable truths. You’re professing truth in a beautifully hilarious way Ryan. Love you
One of your best one’s yet my man!
"Catch me outside, how bout pills" LMFAOOO
This is Painfully accurate
I was denied mental health treatment bc I didn’t want to go on antidepressants and attend outpatient for 9 hours a week. I was stressed bc I was too busy. The whole system is broken and corrupt. I started exercising, eating healthy(er), meditating and making time to socialize. Low and behold, symptoms gone.
Great work 👏
As a pharmacist, this is scary accurate. I think only one I didn’t hear was gabapentin/neurontin. Otherwise this was too close to reality
"Oh you're gonna need so many pills"😂😂😂
This is awesome!
0:34 Oh my god, this gave me flashbacks to an appointment I had. Basically went:
Dr: "Have you ever stayed up all night long?"
Me: "...I'm a college student, so of cou - "
Dr: "I knew it, Bipolar Disorder, I'm going to write you a prescription right now..."
hah, damn. didn't know you'd be nearby either. but you got this nailed- they are the dealers.
It's funny cause it's true
That's called comedy
Ryan keeping it fresh 💯 😂
I'm barely conscious but even I know we should always do whatever we're told without questioning. Thanks Chris Pillman!
Best one in a while
One of the best ones so far. 🤣
From experience as a Canadian, this is so true. After an MVA, I was forced to follow the Doctor’s orders and was prescribed over $20,000 of medication. I was a student and did not have health insurance, so my prescriptions were not covered. I had to foot the bill for four years until the insurance settlement which barely covered my financial loses. My advice is try your best not to be hit while driving. We think it is so safe…you may end up like me with debilitating chronic pain from spinal damage! Stay off the roads as much as you can. Happy to be alive!
bro you are killing me
"a trough of pills" 🤣
This is too real
dude, great seeing you at The Comedy Zone. Y'all crushed it!
“Being a doctor is so fucking sick!” Touché.
I was on effexor as a teen for a while. Then they added some kind of ssri reuptake inhibitor and I had a 2 day manic episode. I quit both cold turkey a month after that and haven't taken anything since.
The weird part is that I didn't even have any withdrawals.
When comedy speaks more truth than the establishment lol
