00:00:00 Who is the most medicated, Jubilee?
00:00:09 We all look deceiving.
00:00:12 What does it mean to look medicated?
00:00:14 Well, because if you look medicated,
00:00:16 you can appear healthy because you're medicated.
00:00:18 Or white.
00:00:19 People probably see my tattoos and piercings
00:00:21 and also my age.
00:00:23 They're like, okay, well, you're obviously spiraling
00:00:25 a little bit, so you probably take meds.
00:00:27 So I'll be four.
00:00:29 Yeah, I feel like you're middle-ish.
00:00:32 I guess I'm excited to see what everyone is going to be like,
00:00:36 who's going to be on medication, who's not really.
00:00:38 Do they consider antidepressants medication?
00:00:39 A lot of people don't really present like they're on medication.
00:00:43 At least a lot of people that I know,
00:00:44 you would never guess that they were on medication.
00:00:46 I feel like you'd probably be there, like, just right before me.
00:00:52 Oh, like right here? Or in front of you?
00:00:53 No, yeah, like right here.
00:00:54 Okay.
00:00:55 Can I say I think I should move up just a little bit?
00:00:58 Maybe like right before you.
00:01:01 I feel like I could be like towards like the least.
00:01:03 Yes, okay.
00:01:04 All right, all right.
00:01:06 Let's just say like the least.
00:01:07 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:08 If it's based on appearance or anything like that,
00:01:10 like maybe like here or there.
00:01:12 Yeah, I think this is the right position.
00:01:14 Okay.
00:01:15 I think we're good.
00:01:16 You can lock this in.
00:01:17 Yeah.
00:01:18 Okay.
00:01:22 My experience with medication was
00:01:24 my parents were very much against it as a child,
00:01:27 But some things happened and we were like,
00:01:29 okay, he kind of needs it.
00:01:31 Yeah.
00:01:32 I grew up in a Japanese household, very traditional.
00:01:35 And so a lot of times, like you would be told like,
00:01:37 oh, if you take like these certain like herbal medications
00:01:39 or if you drink certain teas,
00:01:41 like it can like cure a lot of ailments.
00:01:43 Bro, this dude, the soy boy has a, 1.00
00:01:45 I didn't even peep the sweater.
00:01:47 Herbal medications or if you drink certain-
00:01:48 What bro, imagine being proud.
00:01:51 Imagine that being a defining personality trait.
00:01:53 Like it can like cure a lot of-
00:01:55 This guy wins, most medicated.
00:01:57 Ailments.
00:01:58 I come from like a religious background
00:02:00 that isn't like a traditional Christian 0.99
00:02:01 or Shintoism or Buddhism.
00:02:03 The philosophy behind that religion 0.89
00:02:05 is if you think something negative,
00:02:07 it will manifest physically.
00:02:09 And so a lot of times it came down to like
00:02:10 blaming myself for being sick,
00:02:12 even if it wasn't like truly my fault.
00:02:15 I actually survived a massacre.
00:02:17 Yeah, well, I live in Colorado
00:02:19 and then there's a theater shooting there.
00:02:21 So then I was actually a direct victim of it.
00:02:23 I didn't really get exposed to like medication
00:02:26 until like more recently,
00:02:28 but it was kind of like all these underlying issues
00:02:30 that like built up since then.
00:02:31 You get like really numb when you're like surrounded
00:02:34 by like people who are like always worried about you.
00:02:36 You develop like almost like a DID
00:02:39 or dissociative identity disorder.
00:02:41 It's just kind of like them just throwing stuff at you
00:02:43 and just being like, oh, maybe this will work.
00:02:46 Were any of you guys introduced into medication
00:02:48 off of like physical injury or mental?
00:02:51 Injuries or mental issues.
00:02:52 there's also physical like disability as well so yes like a little bit of each so I come from an
00:03:01 African household also but surprising enough if I wasn't really like introduced to it because
00:03:09 everything was like natural remedies and just like oh I don't think it's that serious so we'll
00:03:14 stay home instead you know when I was younger like my parents like we're okay with me like
00:03:21 taking stuff for my physical needs.
00:03:23 As I got older, they were very against medication
00:03:27 for like mental health at first.
00:03:28 And I think still honestly,
00:03:30 my parents are against medication for like mental health.
00:03:34 There's also physical like disability as well.
00:03:36 So it's kind of like a chain reaction
00:03:38 with some of these things.
00:03:39 It's like one thing caused another thing,
00:03:41 which caused injury.
00:03:43 So that, and that injury caused a need for medication
00:03:46 cause it caused another thing.
00:03:48 I only recently got my first, I guess medication
00:03:51 when I was 15.
00:03:52 It was really hard for me to, I guess,
00:03:54 accept that I needed help.
00:03:55 I'm not someone that really likes help,
00:03:56 but when it came to just like doing certain daily tasks
00:04:00 that I needed to do,
00:04:01 like I needed something to like help me,
00:04:04 I guess, regulate that.
00:04:05 Cause I was definitely going down a path
00:04:07 that was not a good one.
00:04:10 I feel like you might be a little ahead.
00:04:13 I really think you're like less.
00:04:15 You think I'm, I feel like he's good.
00:04:17 No, I think I should move up.
00:04:20 I really think I should.
00:04:21 Yeah, you seem confident about being higher.
00:04:23 Yeah, but I don't think I'm the top.
00:04:25 Okay.
00:04:25 I'm on the top right now.
00:04:26 So you're just being modest.
00:04:27 Do you think you're the most medicated?
00:04:29 I feel like, I don't know,
00:04:31 I think it may be between you and me right now.
00:04:35 I'm depressed, I'm anxious.
00:04:37 Okay, for me, I've had anxiety throughout my whole life.
00:04:41 Elementary school, all of middle school,
00:04:42 up until like freshman year of high school, end of it,
00:04:45 is when I got a diagnosis of ADHD.
00:04:48 Based off like what you said,
00:04:49 I would probably put you...
00:04:50 Chad, who here was diagnosed with ADHD and took pills?
00:04:54 I guess put you somewhere, maybe here?
00:04:56 Yeah.
00:04:56 I would probably be on this side.
00:04:57 Okay.
00:04:58 Maybe.
00:04:58 I actually was left undiagnosed for almost like a decade.
00:05:02 It was like until this year, I was just like,
00:05:04 man, I can't focus on a single thing,
00:05:06 you know, panic attacks and all that stuff.
00:05:08 So I actually went to the therapist under a victim comp.
00:05:10 Pretty much they diagnosed me with, you know,
00:05:12 the Holy Trinity, the ADHD, depression, anxiety,
00:05:17 and then PTSD, of course.
00:05:18 I came from a culture where it's just like, you don't want to bother people.
00:05:22 And that's like what my mom always would tell me is just like, don't bother someone else, don't bother someone else.
00:05:26 I think that's another thing that kind of empowered the sort of numbing.
00:05:29 Everyone grieving for you, and you don't want them to.
00:05:31 And you don't want to be in that position where like you have to tell them that it's okay, that you're like still there.
00:05:36 And then just trying to comfort them rather than them comforting you.
00:05:39 I think that you should go ahead and cha-cha your way to it.
00:05:42 All right.
00:05:43 Cha-cha. 1.00
00:05:44 I'm like, go ahead.
00:05:45 I had mental health problems growing up as a child. I actually had like really severe OCD and
00:05:52 it went undiagnosed. OCD is not real. For a really long time, I have major depressive order and
00:05:57 anxiety. Yeah, you got everything. Everything's wrong with you. So I got diagnosed with that when
00:06:02 I was around 20. But that doesn't mean it's real. This year, I actually got diagnosed with
00:06:07 gastroparesis. You just don't work. It basically means that my stomach is either partially or
00:06:13 fully paralyzed let's say for example like let's say your stomach is done
00:06:16 digesting like four hours let's say that right my stomach will take eight hours
00:06:21 for example and usually it doesn't contract it just uses acid alone and so
00:06:26 sometimes I kind of like joke about this but like it's not super funny but
00:06:30 sometimes I'm like oh if you guys want to see a magic trick give me like an
00:06:33 hour and I could throw my food back up whole
00:06:36 I don't want to see a magic trick but that's very interesting
00:06:41 thank you for offering though
00:06:43 I'll keep it here
00:06:46 it was how she said he was put on ADHD meds
00:06:49 I was and my schoolmate was put on them
00:06:50 and since then he was never the same guy
00:06:52 I'm still furious of what they did to him
00:06:53 just cause he couldn't listen in class
00:06:55 crime 0.99
00:06:56 bro that shit really messed up my head back in the day 0.99
00:06:58 I couldn't eat 0.99
00:07:00 I couldn't sleep
00:07:02 I felt like a robot
00:07:04 I think that's part of the reason why I'm sticko 0.99
00:07:07 than I am
00:07:08 at the very least.
00:07:09 Okay, yeah, so if you're gonna put it Kevin, then for now.
00:07:11 I like how we're just putting everyone just in the middle
00:07:13 right after we hear their story.
00:07:14 It's just like, all right.
00:07:15 We're back.
00:07:16 Oh, I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was six.
00:07:19 I was off medication for a while because when I was 11,
00:07:22 I was diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy,
00:07:25 which is a disorder in the heart.
00:07:27 And a year later, I got a heart transplant.
00:07:29 I feel like you might be higher then.
00:07:31 Because I was- I agree.
00:07:32 I am inclined to move up or stay up higher.
00:07:35 I think we should hear your thing first.
00:07:38 So I've made a depressive disorder and anxiety and PTSD,
00:07:43 but I've also struggled with...
00:07:45 PTSD.
00:07:46 Remember that used to be for soldiers in the war,
00:07:48 and now it's for a girl who got broken up,
00:07:50 a girl who got cheated on as PTSD.
00:07:52 With addiction, and I'll be three years sober on November 2nd.
00:07:57 Congrats.
00:08:00 They're just like clapping her failures.
00:08:02 Oh, okay, she's sober.
00:08:04 but they've never actually had a real problem i mean they have easy lives and like this becomes
00:08:09 their personality it becomes their defining personality traits i want to talk about is um
00:08:12 i also have a rare chronic illness um it's kind of like narcolepsy it's called like idiopathic
00:08:18 hypersomnia and um i basically just making shit up we feel like i haven't slept for 24 to 48 hours
00:08:25 every single day but there's there's only one medication that's fda approved for it so it's
00:08:31 been a struggle but i'm finally able to like hold a job and i'm going to school also so yeah i feel
00:08:38 like she should be in front of me but behind her i feel like you should be either above me or next
00:08:44 to me yeah the only reason why is because i feel like um a lot of the stuff that you're dealing
00:08:48 with also includes a lot of more verbal therapy i want to hear your story because a lot of these
00:08:53 mental illnesses are because they live in the first world country don't have real problems if 0.55
00:08:55 they spend a month in africa i guarantee 99% of their illnesses would go away you're right you're
00:09:00 Right. That's why like when Matt Walsh said, what is a woman? 0.95
00:09:02 And he went to the Maasai tribe and he asked him, can like a man become a woman?
00:09:07 Can a man become a woman? 1.00
00:09:08 And everybody, they laughed away at that question because these are all problems that just happen in the first world where you have so much time.
00:09:18 Like there's no other problems.
00:09:20 When you actually have to hunt to survive and you revert to your generals, all this disappears.
00:09:26 Nobody has OCD in Africa.
00:09:28 I don't think I'm the most medicated, but I can't get to read, you know?
00:09:32 I think the first diagnosis I got was like anxiety, depression,
00:09:37 but they didn't do any sort of psychiatric testing.
00:09:39 They just kind of looked at me and they were like, man, weird.
00:09:43 Vassofagosyncope, aerophagia.
00:09:45 I just recently got diagnosed with autism and ADHD.
00:09:48 That's all else.
00:09:49 Autism and ADHD?
00:09:51 And that's quite enough, I think.
00:09:54 Do you guys want to be medicated?
00:09:56 I don't want to take medicine it's hard to keep up with you know it's like
00:10:02 paying a subscription to live. As long as they're giving me a better quality of
00:10:05 life and better as a person and want to live then I want to take my meds. When I
00:10:12 first started getting sober I was in a rehab and they prescribed me like a
00:10:18 whole bunch of different medications but I believe that without those medications
00:10:22 for my addiction that I wouldn't be sober today.
00:10:25 So it like really helped save my life.
00:10:28 I want having to take medications to be like the last resort
00:10:31 and I want to go through all the possible things
00:10:33 that I could do before.
00:10:34 I feel like we're all aware that the more medicine
00:10:36 that doctors give you, the more money they're making.
00:10:39 So I don't know, it's like a trust issue type of thing,
00:10:41 but also like if I really need it,
00:10:43 like of course like for pain and whatnot,
00:10:44 but again, let's go through all the things that,
00:10:46 you know, I could do it if those don't work
00:10:48 for like helping me, all right, then give me the thumbs.
00:10:51 So obviously I don't want to be on medication
00:10:53 because it costs money,
00:10:54 but I'm not a big fan of medical.
00:10:55 Yeah, you do.
00:10:57 You don't want to take personal responsibility
00:10:58 so you cling on to these illnesses.
00:11:00 But I've never personally had a bad experience,
00:11:02 but I know that that's not the case for most people.
00:11:05 Cause no, Dylan, you trust it, so.
00:11:07 Yeah.
00:11:09 Like you have the trust.
00:11:10 I trust it, but maybe I don't like, you know,
00:11:13 certain side effects from certain things.
00:11:15 You know, I was unmedicated for 15 to 18 years,
00:11:19 depending on how you look at it.
00:11:20 I feel like I'm probably lower than you.
00:11:22 There's a high chance.
00:11:24 I'm okay with this.
00:11:25 Yes, okay.
00:11:26 I'm good.
00:11:26 Okay, we're good.
00:11:27 Locked in.
00:11:32 In seventh, Mary.
00:11:34 I told you vaccinated dude was gonna win.
00:11:36 Come on, please be right.
00:11:38 Some W this stream.
00:11:39 Six, Dylan.
00:11:43 Dang, guys.
00:11:44 Eight, fifth, seventh,
00:11:47 Okay.
00:11:48 I knew it.
00:11:49 So now what we're going to do, we're going to go to what you're actually taking.
00:12:04 This would be a good reference video.
00:12:07 I could show the doctors real quick and appointments when they need to get the list.
00:12:11 That's the most annoying part of it.
00:12:13 I guess down the line again?
00:12:14 Yeah, let's start with Mary. 0.93
00:12:16 Well, I take no medications.
00:12:19 I feel like if I've been all those years being unmedicated,
00:12:21 I'm still fine, I'm still here living.
00:12:23 I could do, you know, a couple more decades.
00:12:25 I will definitely continue to keep going down
00:12:27 the holistic path, but it's also, I'm open to medications.
00:12:31 I take one medication, take Vyvanse for ADHD.
00:12:35 It just helps me with impulse control and all that.
00:12:38 I'm actually on three medications.
00:12:39 This is like the thing that's mainly changing
00:12:41 is the antidepressants.
00:12:43 Of course, you know, Adderall for the ADHD.
00:12:46 And when I'm too wired, they also put me on a terazodone.
00:12:49 So it's pretty much just like, here's an upper,
00:12:50 here's a downer, and here's like-
00:12:52 You're taking Zanz and Addy at the same time.
00:12:54 I don't feel depressed.
00:12:55 I take five.
00:12:56 I take, this is called Zofran.
00:12:59 I also take this one.
00:13:00 This is called Bremron.
00:13:02 This is Ativan.
00:13:03 I also take a sclocolamine patch.
00:13:04 And then my last one, which is my primary medication,
00:13:07 Motilium, this one is actually not legal in the USA.
00:13:10 It's not FDA approved.
00:13:12 And the reason for that is because it causes-
00:13:14 Did you just snitch on yourself live?
00:13:16 ...chance of a heart attack and stroke.
00:13:19 So I get EKGs done just to make sure that I'm still within safe levels.
00:13:23 Would you be able to survive without that medication?
00:13:27 Currently, no, because it's the only known medication to treat my condition.
00:13:32 Without it, there's a good chance I'll have to stay hospitalized for fluids and liquids.
00:13:36 I could not sustain myself.
00:13:38 I basically was diagnosed recently with gastroparesis.
00:13:41 You can even identify it as like a really mild form of like organ failure.
00:13:46 My stomach either is fully paralyzed or partially paralyzed.
00:13:49 And so the way I digest, I rely on the acid in my stomach and I can't rely on the mechanics of it.
00:13:56 I take seven. I don't have that many meds, guys.
00:13:58 So I also take Zofran. I take this as needed.
00:14:01 I also take something called Armidafinil. I take Clonidate and Nite.
00:14:05 I also take Eupropion or Wellbutrin for my depression.
00:14:10 Something called Synthroid.
00:14:11 And last one is just the Cyclovir for a virus that I have,
00:14:16 and I take this every single day.
00:14:17 So I take eight medications.
00:14:19 First is one of the main ones,
00:14:21 Chacrolimus, better known as Prograf.
00:14:23 Another immunosuppressor is Cirolimus.
00:14:26 And then a lot of medications are just to quell side effects
00:14:28 of these two.
00:14:29 First is Diltiazim.
00:14:31 Addervastatin, also known as Lipitor.
00:14:34 I forgot exactly what this one does.
00:14:36 Bare Aspirin, Licinopril, I also take Adderall.
00:14:40 Last one, I promise.
00:14:41 This is vitamin D3.
00:14:43 That's everything.
00:14:45 So close.
00:14:46 So close.
00:14:48 Yeah.
00:14:49 This one is a Zulane patch.
00:14:50 This is a birth control.
00:14:52 This is the fifth birth control I've been on.
00:14:54 This is Topamax.
00:14:55 This is for both from chronic migraines
00:14:59 and also I got a higher dosage
00:15:01 because I developed motor tics.
00:15:02 Midadryl.
00:15:03 How are you alive?
00:15:05 Is the one medication I am on for fainting
00:15:07 from my blood pressure.
00:15:08 There we got gabapentin.
00:15:09 I just got prescribed this one for like panic attacks
00:15:12 and stuff and also for chronic pain.
