I've been taking antidepressants for over a month, with very little change. I tried putting Miku stickers on the bottle, but it didn't help.

It’s supposed to be several months of something before your body fully adapts to it.
Enjoy being unable to ejaculate, a dramatic weight change, the nausea, memory problems, hair loss, tiredness, frequent constipation, and even more depression for the time being.

Tell your doctor. They're the ones who have to adjust dosages and medications for you.
Adam Green
K thx.
I may desu. But I'm afraid she'll judge me.

>several months
No not really. The effects are just that hard to see in yourself. It can take as little as a week.
Also your constellation of side effects is bullshit.

>Also your constellation of side effects is bullshit.
some are some aren't. I found it very hard to get erect and cum on them, and sleeping was difficult. I was, however, happier.

I'm sorry but this cracked me up

don't be afraid she'll judge you. it's still probably early enough for you to make some decisions.
realise what you're doing; this is serious medication. I've been through several antidepressants and other shrink pills, they often affect your body and mind in ways you weren't warned about. don't treat this lightly, you may end up in a much worse place if you aren't careful.
if anything, start judging and questioning your pills, and confront your doctor about what you don't like about them. don't compromise, shrinks will just feed you pills if you don't say no. your body and mind aren't theirs, and they're some of the most inconsiderate people around. if you can benefit from antidepressants, use that to get into exercise, fix you sleep habits, and hopeful meet some friends. these all naturally help, and unlike antidepressants, shouldn't give you erectile dysfunction, obesity, boobs and suicidal thoughts.
probably not the most organised post ever but you can do it op.

not them, but it does take at least a month, and those are all valid and common side effects. dunno what shrink you went to but it sounds like placebo to me.
which is ok, just don't act smartass.
Eli Wright
Nope, actual effects. It doesn’t take a month at all. People around me notice within days desu. I don’t notice at all.
Also those side effects are uncommon. They don’t happen with enough frequency or severity that anybody should refuse or discontinue antidepressant therapy.

>Although the claim is made that some people may be able to start to feel less depressed within 2 weeks of taking one of these kinds of antidepressants, most people won’t start experiencing the full positive effects of the medication until 6 to 8 weeks after beginning it.
literally every doctor ever told me that
now on that page look at the common side effects. if you need more details, the leaflet that comes with your pills should give you statistics. obviously not everyone gets every side effect, but everyone gets some.
no need to be in denial user, there are documented cases of people randomly killing themselves right after starting ssris. side effects on shrink pills generally do occur frequently or severely enough for people to quit them, which is one of the reasons patients change medication to find the one that suits them the best. again, works for you.

>ssris
Ha like I’d be caught dead on that old tech shit. SNRIs are the future my dude.
Levi Roberts
way to avoid any points I made, sigh.
if it matters at all, since you brought up people around you, I did time in a ward after attempting suicide at some point.
other dudes (and a chill old lady) would joke about erectile dysfunction and half admitted to it, everyone slept a lot, and I'm pretty sure constipation was a problem I'd discussed with others too.
not to say that your experience isn't valuable, but if you're a luckier person who found antidepressants to work in a suspiciously short time (as opposed to not working positively at all for some, myself included) you should consider your survivor's bias before insisting that others should eat dangerous pills.

>The serotonin theory is as close as any theory in the history of science to having been proved wrong. Instead of curing depression, popular antidepressants may induce a biological vulnerability making people more likely to become depressed in the future.
>In the data sent to us by the FDA, only 43% of the trials showed a statistically significant benefit of drug over placebo. The remaining 57% were failed or negative trials.

I stole a bottle opener today and I'm afraid I may steal again. I used to do this before my meds as an effect of depression.
Aaron Richardson
i want miku stickers :|

A delay in response to SSRIs is normal. It's thought that antidepressants work not because of serotonin directly, but because of the structural changes it induces on your brain. People with depression typically have more BDNF in the amygdala, especially the right amygdala (which is associated with negative emotions), and less BDNF in the hippocampus and pre-frontal cortex. Serotonin reverses this, although it should take a while before your brain has changed significantly enough to notice this.
Sexual dysfunction is also normal with increased serotonin signaling in the brain. This shouldn't persist long after discontinuing use of the SSRI.
That study is a bit aggressive in its claim about serotonin, although it says many valid things about SSRIs themselves. I wouldn't recommend SSRIs to anyone I know.
Serotonin definitely has a positive effect on depression, this shouldn't be doubted anymore. Still, there are problems with SSRIs in comparison to actual serotonin.
There are many different serotonin receptors, and SSRIs often only target one or two of them. Also, these chemicals often have other effects in the body which are unrelated to serotonin.
Also, chronic inflammation is a common cause of depression. This should be tested for, because if the underlying cause isn't treated, the patient will relapse regardless of whatever healing was achieved.

Personally, it took about three months for the antidepressants to do anything, but fuck if they aren't worth the slight nausea I still get when I take them.
Jordan Robinson
Some antidepressants do work wonders in as little as 24 hours.
Idk what type Mirtazapene is but from the first tablet I was able to eat again, finally able to sleep, in a better mood and within days noticeable improvements in other things too
Henry Thompson
Don't forget antidepressants are meant to lessen your pain so you can focus on changing your life, not to help you cope and continue your current routine.
