So, which drugs has everyone tried?

Far as the legal stuff goes, one anti-psychotic (from a nervous breakdown 9 years ago), a couple anti-depressants that didn't do shit for me (well over a decade ago now), and Aspirin/Ibuprofen. I've had Codeine (Tylenol-3's to be specific), but I'll never do that again. I have a bad allergy to it, and by taking it, I essentially poisoned myself. The headache I took it for got worse, I became nauseous, and I was having these moments where I was between staying conscious and almost passing out. I'd try to make myself throw up to alleviate myself of some of it, but it never happened. So I just suffered with it, took some Pepto Bismol in the morning for my stomach so that I could at least try to sleep, and eventually did. Woke up later that afternoon and I was fine again. Aside from essential vitamins and minerals, which I wouldn't even begin to classify as a drug, and of course Caffeine, I think that does it for me.

Far as the illegal stuff is concerned, I will not go there. Not personally. I support the legalization of marijuana, I have nothing whatsoever against anyone who smokes it, and truth be told I'd do it myself if it weren't for the fact that I've had anxiety issues in the past, as well as a nervous breakdown. It took years to get myself in a stable state of mind again, and I'm not about to risk it on what's basically just a chance that I'll come out of it alright. That said, it should speak for itself that I especially won't touch the harder/more intense drugs. Cocaine is a strong temptation sometimes with me being so damn tired/unmotivated some days, but the insanely high chance of addiction, as well as the fact that I know literally nobody trustworthy who deals that shit, keeps me from even considering it in seriousness. Also, aforementioned anxiety concerns.

Off the drug spectrum, legal or no, I used to smoke a few years back for a short time. Did that for a few months or so, then gave it up like it was nothing. I do drink occasionally, but I wouldn't say it's nearly enough to be any kind of concern. Maybe a few times out of the month at worst. And usually only beer at that. Although, I do have a couple bottles of whiskey I occasionally tap into.
