It is my observation that most humans are born happy. From infancy there are smiles, smiles, smiles. Of course there is hunger, tiredness, colic, and other biological events that must be attended to that leave for one uncomfortable baby. Thankfully, babies are honest and spontaneous enough to let us know that they need immediate attention. Then come more smiles. That's not a bad way to live.
Along the way, things happen - some good, some bad; some, even worse. Some people learn to enhance their lives and steer themselves towards happiness, often with the cooperation of other good people. In my estimation, there are far more good people than there are misanthropes. Some people learn how to be unhappy from others; their many adverse experiences and exposure to toxic people and dysfunctional families teaching them how to be miserable and a "hater". I'm sure we could go on and on listing how people can be influenced by negative experiences and a toxic environment. I suppose that there is a whole lot more that we can discuss here, but I think any such discourse would be better located on the Psychology board.
I don't consider you to be a student of unhappiness, despite your negative experiences and challenges in life.

> - ScottHi Scott, I'm the guy on parnate who has posted a few times about side effects and right dosage - you've replied a few times which was very helpful. You're the wise man who quoted in October when 30mg wasn't doing so good that 'parnate starts performing its magic at 40mg.' How right you were. Since then I've gone up to 60mg, dropped back to 50mg and now back to 40mg as of today where I'm about 90% sure this is the right balance (therapeutic effects without excessive stimulation or excessive tiredness as experienced in higher doses). I'm not overly optimistic about Nardil. I went off ssris in the first place cause I just excessively gained weight and felt like a zombie (10mg lexapro). Weight gain is quite neutral on parnate with good appetite control. (I'll happily eat veggies for evening meal instead of 2 large pizzas). Thanks
