Antidepressants

Retarded contrarian christcucks are gonna come in here and try to steer you away from them, but they saved my life. I 100% would have killed myself in 2012 if it wasn't for Lexapro (escitalopram). But definitely be prepared for some trial and error, I tried Pristiq before I found Lexapro and I was in hell for a week, felt physically weighed down and it was hard to even walk around because of the depression. And be aware of side-effects.

No, actually make your life better. You are probably sad because something about your life sucks. Fix it, don't just neuter your brain.

Im scared of the withdrawal, how bad is it?

This.

Maybe you shouldnt take medical advice from a place where people are against vaccinations.

you need Jesus

They don't really do anything

If you feel you must take them, do so under supervision, do not take them if you are alone most of the time or dont have regular visits, they arent magic, they can cause real problems if the person taking them is both mentally unstable and not just depressed,

look up SSRI Psychosis first

No. Read Skinner and other behavior analysts. Learn about behavior, its processes and principles. And then apply those processes and principles to your own life.

Nah, you'd make do with mood stabilizers and anti-psychotics.

i was so black pilled i had to take them so i didn't kill myself. without them i get into a deep hopeless depression. the lesser evil i guess.

reasonable post.

have LANs and go to events like cons together with your gamer frens. peer interaction cannot replace socialization. consider joining a sport, it literally changed my life. i recommend tennis.

Talk to your Doctor about antidepressants, they can help if nothing else is, they’ve helped me for years but it is true that certain ones can affect certain people negatively

>im "depressed"
>should i get a chemical lobotomy guise?
yea dude totally
also get an orchiectomy too you nutless faggot

>exercising at least 3 days a week
> still depressed

>muh dithkord!!!
I'm so glad I'm not a zoomer. But to answer your question, don't take them. They're not a cure for depression; it's designed to keep you complacent and zombified. I took several antidepressants from age 18-23 and they've ruined my brain. I don't even feel happiness anymore (even when I'm doing things that I'm supposed to enjoy such as snowboarding); I'm just an emotionless NPC.

Also quit porn, weed, alcohol, and any other cheap form of dopamine release...at least for a little while. After a week to a month you will likely feel a lot better.

if society was functioning we wouldn't need these goddamn wallstreet pills.

If you have depression, or any supposed ailment, your body or mind is trying to tell you something important. taking drugs to force your body to shut up will not heal you. Only listening to it can help you fix it.

depression is the result of this sick, meaningless kike-run society. The mind uses depression as a pressure to force people, as a collective, to act against a shitty society. It is therefore no wonder these kikes and their poopnigger slaves are pushing anti-depressants so fervently.

just listen to your body.

Of course most of you impressionable retards let your conservatism bleed into your views on medicine. Don't let these idiots scare you away, they DO NOT know what they are talking about. They saved me. Yeah you may get some undesired side effects and it might take the edge off of things (or maybe not, everyone's brain is different), but staying alive is probably better than being dead.

I'm kinda on the fence myself.
>Yeah dumbass just quit everything you know to use to cope with clown world.
>Do you even lift?
>Find Jesus

I think a few months of them to change attitudes is probably a good method

Contemplate learning how to spell you retard

Don't. They are a Jew plot to make the goyem fat and impotent and docile.

>Take your chemical lobotomy, goy!
Antidepressants (including DUDEWEEDLMAO) only serve to bottle up emotions until they explode. All trials have shown that they only make things worse and cause dependency (on the drug) issues.

Antidepressants and Brithcontrol Pills are two key drugs that society "needs" to keep society spiraling out of control. They were raced past thorough clinical trials for this very purpose and only now are we actually coming to understand that they are vices in and of themselves make to make money at the cost of the consumer who wanted to take the easy-route and didn't know better.

Try stop eating carbs first and lifting weights first, if your still depressed, anti depressants can help you, there are people who have pathological chemical deficiencies in their brain.

And go get a full blood work panel done first, you probably have some low thyroid or basedboy levels of T. Hormone imbalances are one of the main sources of depression, fix those before permanently fucking your brain chemistry up with antidepressants

Also think about it like this, drug companies (Prozac, Zoloft, etc) would go out of business if their products cured depression. Instead they make them highly (physically) addictive so you're a customer for life. One of the biggest tricks that the jew ever pulled was convincing goyim that pills will cure their depression.

Have fun with your kike vitamins faggot.

(((SSRIs))) killed my dick

Carbs are tasty and include alcohol. Lifting is sweaty.

>anxious and fatigued all the time
>feel like mind and emotions are on fire
>only thing that makes me feel better is naps and sleep deprivation
What do

Im not looking for a cure, just a momentary relief from the feeling of doom.

>So Jow Forums I've been contemplating weather to take these, should I?
Honestly as someone on anti psychotics and was given Antidepressants too. Honestly it is up to each individual. If you take them and don't have a physical side affects and YOU YOURSELF feel they are helping then go ahead. But like me if they are giving you physical side affects and you feel they are making it worse. Stop doing it. Let your doctor know. BUT TELL HIM TO CHECK YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS, WHAT THEY ARE DOING TOO YOU PHYSICALLY BEFORE LETTING HIM GIVE YOU THE COCKTAIL RUN AROUND. That is all I got. It is down to you and you alone. Don't be some fuck head that instantly thinks this will work and you have to stay on them to get better. If they don't then don't. And honestly U.S. you are popping out so many fucking pills from your medical side that it is a cocktail run around anyway.

>Im not looking for a cure, just a momentary relief from the feeling of doom.
You mean you feel like shit about something and you want an easy solution to it, too use as an excuse to avoid or dodge your issue regardless? Then fuck it just go for weed or some shit.

>hurr when I am depressed I go for a run

Armchair psychologists deserve the chair

No they will murder your sex drive and make you gain weight. Stay far the fuck away from (((fluoxetine))). If you are depressed force yourself to do shit until you get in a routine. Get plenty of sleep, maybe get a sleep aid prescribed or some anxiety medication. Benzos work great but don't get dependent on them as they can be highly addictive.

>should I?
Nope.
Diet and exercise.

>feeling of doom

Take them. This is what I felt and I was doing all the right things to better myself. Eating right, hanging out with good people and my family, going to work and school. It's real despite what the morons in this thread would have you believe, there exists mental illness that you can't bootstrap away.

If you’re into brain zaps then take them. It’s the worst withdrawal. Antidepressants are worse than Percocet's!!! Even the mildest dose will fuck you up. Pill can’t make you happy user, and it definitely can’t make you feel numb.

SSRIs will FUCK your shit up so much more and then youre in for a ride.
i.e. DONT FUCKING DO IT

I'd use it as a last resort. Like others said, try meditation, exercise, socialization, etc.

I know a lot of people on antidepressants and after 5-10 years they start to get weird and just get stranger and stranger over time. My guess is that it shuts down some fairly necessary mental feedback/autocorrection mechanisms. My half sister has been on them for 10-15 years and she just seems kind of nuts when we talk. She used to be much more normal before all that.

Try reverse kegels and ab exercises, including feeling and holding your transverse abdominus (like you just jumped in a cold shower.) Unironically helped me.

If you are unable to function properly, take them.
But don't stop seeking a way to be free of them.

No. Your dick will not work on these pills. You could stroke your dick for like 3 hours and you cannot cum.

I hate them. I can't fucking sleep, I'm more suicidal than ever and I can't feel a thing. The only "positive" thing about SSRI's are the fact that I'm able to follow my work schedule. This just convinces me that they aren't supposed to help me get better but to make me able to contribute to society. I'm slowly starting to believe that depression is reality and not some sort of mental illness. It honestly isn't surprising that people are depressed, considering the conditions in which we are living. The world is shit and these pills don't change my view for shit. They just confirm the fact that I'm a resource for society and that I'll go for the rest of my life attempting to satisfy my greed. It feels like I'm throwing rocks into a bottomless pit. I've tried quitting them multiple times but then I become fucking useless and turn into an absolute piece of shit. Of all the things I could've become addicted to it absolutely had to be some shit pills and not something that actually bring me joy like cocaine or whatever. I want you to do avoid these pills like the plague OP because they'll confirm the doubts that you had in the back of your head. They're not supposed to help you, they're supposed to help society.

Withdrawal is pretty bad, you get weird brain zaps, headaches, nausea, panic, and for me the first time I actually felt suicidal is when I stopped taking the pills.

You can say that all you want, but if you look at the studies showing how diet, exercise, meditation/spirituality, etc. corresponds with positive and happy thinking, it shows that you do have *some* control over your happiness.

Sometimes people are unhappy and they need to change their lifestyle. Do you suggest that people, whenever unhappy, should just go to prescription pills by default?

lmfao.

> flag

I'd love to see any of you fat cunts run. I don't go for a run when I get depressed you fat cunt. I never get depressed and I run because it feels good. Tubby.

I'll take the advice then (for both the meds and my spelling), I would rather exercise than lose my dick desu.

You too- brain zaps are the worst.

no they cause permanent sexual dysfunction

>inb4 some fag responds saying they still have a sex drive

yeah but you neutered yourself still, you would have had higher testosterone if you weren't a bitch who takes jew drugs

Of course not. I am only speaking from my experience and a persistent "feeling of doom" is what I felt. I did fail to mention to OP that if he isn't trying to better himself in a natural way/change his lifestyle, he should definitely do that first and see if there's any improvement. I don't disagree with you.

no they cause permanent sexual dysfunction

>inb4 some fag responds saying they still have a sex drive

yeah but you neutered yourself still, you would have had higher testosterone if you weren't a bitch who takes jew drugs. the effect is permenant, it may not be strong enough to notice or your body may compensate by craving more dietary precursors to sex hormones but you still are weaker than you could have been

>Take them.
This person is not your friend. Not here and not in real life.

We are like a body of water (literally too). Sedentary water just fills up with waste and pollution and is poisonous. Running water is fresh and clean. Exercise is like going from sedentary to running water, at first you are going to churn up a bunch of toxins but eventually you will run clear.

>taking anti depressants for decades
Can you imagine how 10th generation offspring of drugged up faggots would look and feel like if this becomes the norm? No way in hell this abuse wont have heredity impact.

For people who don't know what a brain zap is, it feels like getting shocked from an electrical outlet except really fast and inside your head and it comes on almost like a shiver. The docs have no clinical literature on it and many refuse to even acknowledge they are a thing.

>It’s the worst withdrawal.
You mean it is as bad as Heroin,Crack,Cocaine meth and Booze. You mean it has the same level to make your body automatically shut down and every organs bit by bit. Holy shit I never knew that. Fuck the hardcore drugs that can kill you in withdrawal guys. We got the worst one yet and it's a little pill that dissolves in your body. Holy shit.

Horrible drugs, especially the newer anti-psychotics. Hello extrapyramidal side effects; aka irreversible tardive dyskinesia, where you can't stop involuntary movements. People kill themselves over it.

Try hormones like pregnenolone, progesterone, thyroid hormone. Orders of magnitude safer.

I could see this actually working. There's probably enough cocaine residue in cocacola syrup that it wouldn't get you high, but you could still experience the effect.
I mean we are talking parts per million here, but I'm trying to make your shit post better.

Psychologist here ask me anything.

I avoid advising anti-psychiatric drugs and could provide a list of reasons.

95% or so of my patients have had far more success with making themselves a hypothesis on what is their issue and coming up with 3-4 solutions they put forward.

1-Beginner to intermediate strength training with HIIT cardio 2-3 times a week.

2- Limiting of stimulants, porn, fapping, caffeine or sugar all to a limit per day/week.

3- More red, yellow and purple vegetables in the diet. Veggie lunch, fat and protein dinner.

4- Accessible and approachable on the spot distractions. When depressive and depression triggering thoughts come on, immediately go towards the distraction.

Time and focus are keys. Be easy on yourself.

They should absolutely take them if they've exhausted all other options, and if you had any reading comprehension you'd know that that's what I said in my post.

Don't take SSRIs. Take mirtazapine or something. Try hormones. See previous post.

Now I'm just a burger with bad reading comprehension.
Chocolate is great for depression as well, and has been proven so by many studies.

>Progesterone
Fuck off tranny shill

Please don't do it, 6 months was all I could take on Zoloft, fuck that shit. It doesn't help at all, also your orgasms will be gone but not your sex drive which is frustrating, and there is a pretty considerable chance of chemical castration.

So is coffee and tobacco actually. Future epidemiologist here.

user there's no cocaine in cocoa you're thinking of coca plant

Progesterone isn't anti-androgenic in small doses, idiot.
raypeatforum.com/community/threads/progesterone-is-androgenic.21164/

>There's probably enough cocaine residue in cocacola syrup that it wouldn't get you high
You are a fucking idiot. Seriously a fucking idiot. The whole oh Coca Cola put Cocaine in there drinks is literally way way and way in the fucking past. Yes Coca Cola do use some fucking chemical we will never know about. But it isn't fucking cocaine.

I've been through them all and benzos are by far the worst withdrawal, especially going cold turkey after high doses for years. The problem is benzo withdrawal can last months, with no let up. Risk of death is high from seizures, and most rehab clinics will not take benzo addicts because the liability is high, and even if they do the junkies and alcoholics are already coming out of withdrawal in a few weeks while the benzo addict is still "not making progress".

If you are looking to pop a pill, start with vitamin D3, magnesium (research this, various types help various issues) omega 3’s and B12.

Do some internet searches for “supplements for depression” or “vitamin deficiencies that cause depression.”

I haven’t looked into it but heard some health guy on the radio talking about how horrible proton pump inhibitors (nexium, Prilosec) are because they interfere with absorption. So if you have been taking those I’d serious consider deficiencies as the root cause.

Lack of good quality sleep can also cause depression in perfectly normal people.

They also have been STRONGLY linked to dementia, as in the longer-acting, longer-prescribed ones lead to more dementia.

Hey I'm doing the start of an extreme purge on myself. And to help I thought of going hardcore on the fruits? Do think that is good to replace fucking shitty chicken and chips and such. Like fuck i'm craving a fucking apple right now. But again switch from oven food,shit food to just hardcore fruits. Good or bad?

I take them. Jow Forums in general says they're bad. I listened and tried to get off them for 6 months. While off the pills I'm angry from the moment I wake to when I get my 4 hours of sleep. I can't talk to humans because I'm so angry I can't formulate sentences to speak. I'll scream at people on the street and get in fights over nothing. Without the pills I'm destined to go back to prison. With them I can function and be productive and relatively social.

It depends on your situation.

Ultimately, only a doctor can assess whether or not you need them.

Side effects which may be of benefit is retarded ejaculation, which makes you last longer in bed.

If you've never taken SSRI's, you may experience constipation, drowsiness, increase or decrease in appetite, nausea, etc.

Dude no. And i'm sure like myself and others have stated they fuck you up faster than help you.

>heredity impact
Like physical/genetic inheritance? Is there any evidence of there being any?

Good. Fruit and dairy have always been food for the Übermensch.
raypeat.com/articles/articles/glycemia.shtml

>Known side effects are suicide,

People who take antidepressants are already in need of help, so increase in suicidality cannot be attributed to the medication alone, but rather the morbidity itself.

Not all antidepressants are the same. Lower dosages of mirtazapine extend the lifespan in the lab models, whereas all dosages of SSRIs shorten them. Tricyclics also extend it.

I've been on 1-3mg on xanax a day for 2 months, is the dose high enough to cause withdawal? I really would like to stop but I suffer from severe social anxiety and panic attacks.

>4- Accessible and approachable on the spot distractions. When depressive and depression triggering thoughts come on, immediately go towards the distraction.

I don't think this is a good suggestion... A lot of people escape using on the spot distractions as a way of never having to deal with their problems. It's part of why they persist for so long and is largely part of what the whole 'mindfulness' movement preaches against.

>I've been through them all and benzos are by far the worst withdrawal
If Benzo is the opiate the congratulations you have further your progress to Heroin officially. Maybe not be today and may not be a year. But if Benzos is opiates then dude you have been taking another form of Heroin.

HOW DO I FIX BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER AHHHHHHH

You should first try to realize your depression is a normal response to this world in which we live. Become mindful of your own thought processes and try to alter them. People who don't have some negative reaction are literal monsters or literal zombies, or they're too stupid to see what's going on in front of their stupid faces, or they're profiting from the big lie. Try non-medical things first- exercise, diet, sleep, hobbies, meditation, etc. If that doesn't work, try the medical route, but there can be severe consequences, reactions, withdrawals, etc.
