i need a non prescription pill that is gauranteed to give an instant
good mood and where they can be purchased in new york city.....for
clarification I am not looking for a herbal supplement that has st.
johns wort or passion flower or the likes of htp  that might possibly
work over time or a
pill like samE that says it might have mood improvement affects ... i
am looking for something that is purely for mood and actually works instantly

I have taken a lot of mood-altering substances over the years, and it
is my opinion that no pill known to man meets your requirements. A
chemical substance cannot be guaranteed to give you an "instant good
mood." Even powerful narcotic euphoriants don't necessarily provide a
good mood. There are some mighty unhappy heroin addicts out there who
can testify to that.

It is my belief that a truly good mood comes not from fiddling with
one's neurochemistry, but from the spiritual well-being of a strong,
healthy soul. And that does not come in a bottle.

Nothing works instantly, it takes a minimum of 25-35 minutes to hit
the blood stream. I used to take Pemoline, a wonderful drug for
regulating sleep in those with circadian rhythm disorders, also an
effective mood elevator, took EXACTLY 2 hours to hit my spinal fluid
before it worked it's magic.

You are looking for "inner peace," and that does not come in pill
form. A few months, or years, of psychotherapy could help, resulting
in awakening each morning in a good mood, --ready, willing and able to
face the challenges of a new day.

If there were such a pill, all but the most enlightened souls would
want it, and it would be VERY expensive.

I will continue to monitor this thread though, in the hope someone
will post something I am unaware of...

cynthia,  thank you for your interest in this subject .... it is my
beleif there is a pill that can have these types of affect on you ....
i dont presume it to be a cure for any particular type of depression
but if you have a day where you have a funk it will lift you from it
just from that one dose ...

When you find it, I want some too!  (still watching hopefully..)

I used to smoke a little crack now and then, and it made me feel great
INSTANTLY... but the next morning, I would feel so down for so long it
wasn't worth it.

Sure, you can temporarily boost your mood or energy with any number of
chemicals- but there is always a rebound effect on the way back to
your natural state.

Listen to the advice others here have given on improving your mood
over the long term.

This may sound overly simple, but I think caffeine may be the
nonprescription substance that most closely meets your requirements.
It's readily available in pill form, if you aren't fond of coffee.

Hit the road, have a moderate jog of atleast half an hour. The
endorphins released in your blood will give you instant mood
elevation.Guranteed to work every time, does not need prescription,
doen not induce tolerance, will occasionally lead to dependance, but
then it is fine since doing it thrice a week will give you a good
workout as well. I have been doing it for many years. Pills stop
giving you the desired results after a while because of chemical
tolerance which develops.
