I'm on the current medical treatment I can afford. I wouldn't combine the word effective in that sentence. I've given it enough time to decide the treatment is unacceptable in making the pain be bearable. I'm at a point where it's euthanasia or suicide and which is the case for people seeking euthanasia. Some people have more pain than others with the same illness classification and depending on how life transpired. It shouldn't be an outsider limiting others scenario.


I’m sorry you’re going through so much suffering. I personally don’t think anyone experiencing mental anguish should commit suicide before giving “drugs of abuse” a try. These drugs are so popular and addictive precisely because they’re so good at making you feel better. They’re a last resort, but I think they’re a better last resort than suicide.

Here’s a link to a recent Reddit comment where I discussed this idea, along with suggestions of drugs to try:

Have you tried psychedelics? They’ve been reported as being effective at setting the world straight for many people. Probably need to do a good deal of research first, and conventional medical information sources will probably be unhelpful.
