the first day i tried prozac it gave me something that felt like a seizure so no i didn't feel happy. Didn't take any more

Based on the single pill I've taken in my entire life, they make you feel drunk and retarded. I call them mongoloid pills now and refuse to take them.

most antidepressants work after 2 weeks or so, while they can make you feel nauseous and reduce your libido in the meantime, so if you're really feeling like shit and you aknowledge the solution of your situation as unreachable, i would recomend you to see a psychiatrist

I feel like how I expected normies to feel now. It's nice

how long did it take for them to work for you, did it hit overnight or slowly

Lexapro took my anxiety\depression from a constant 8/10 on most days, to now a 3/10. They do work well for a lot of people, you may have to try a few before you find one that works for you though.

no, you just gradually stop being so apathetic, has dark thoughts less and less, anxiety reduces, obsessive thoughts becomes rarer etc

No they mostly just make you feel numb and dead to the world. They also carry the added benefit of causing erectile dysfunction. Usually ED is temporary and just while you are on the meds, But for some its permanent. Expect at least an hour of whacking it to be able to cum.
Benzos are pretty much the same shit just a different kind of numbness.

These meds work in the sense that they numb normies for a few months or years until they work out what ever temporary problem was causing depression. Usually its something like loss of job or divorce or something. For people like me who are never going to get better they are pretty much a waste of time. And believe me I took many different drugs over 20 years and still nothing. here are some other things they may cause

>frequent head aches
>weight gain
>actually making depression worse
>manic symptoms
>dependency
>difficulty urinating

And that is just what happened to me

>it didn't work for me, so therefore it sucks and no one else should try them

>tfw too afraid to take SSRI's because my brother took them and his face bloated up immensely

my looks are all I have but I'm severely depressed and not sure what to do

I didn't say don't try them. I basically said to be ready for the cluster fuck bizarre fucked up experience for a life time. the fucking docs love to tout their positive effects on the patients they have. The problem is they are the normie patients the other patients stop getting treatment after awhile and end up killing them selves. But since they stopped treatment anywhere from 6 months to a year before they end it the docs don't consider them their patients anymore so its not counted as a loss.

I have read very few cases where drugs especially SSRI's have ever made someone happy. you might be content at best.

Short answer: a month and pretty suddenly
Long answer:
I started on Lexapro for 6 weeks. Didn't really do much. Came off that for a week and started Parnate (a relatively rare AD since it's an MAOI) Initially started on 20mg for 3 weeks (I think 2 weeks is normal but I was out of the country for 3). A week ago I started on 30mg (30-50mg is what works for the majority of people, 20 works for like 1-2%) and in the last couple of days I've felt different in a good way, I doubt I'm completely back to normal just yet and in another week we will discuss moving up to 40mg if needed.

I was against meds for many years but after 2 serious suicide attempts this year with a bunch of fentanyl I decided it couldn't hurt to try. I'm glad I did, the side effects so far are a bit of a drop in sex drive and it takes while to cum (could be a positive for some I guess), a dry mouth and I get cold easily.

SSRI's aren't supposed to make you happy, dingus, they're just supposed to make your lows not as low. The only drugs that will make you happy are all addictive shit like opiates because, well, they make you happy.

This. Even normies aren't always happy. No one is. The anti depressants will help you be normal so that you may find meaning and pursue your interests which will make you happy. Not some 24/7 feeling of MDMA or heroin

are you a hot girl? if you are a guy then who cares desu

No, its slow.

First week was pure suffering from side effects. Remaining effects are i cant enjoy jacking off, and have A LOT of trouble getting hard. And I wake up all the time while sleeping.

What is does it prevent your brain from sucking up serotonin like it usually does, so your happy chemicals stay. So its a gradual build up, and eventually you start feeling less antagonized. I also have a psychologist, which supposedly helps. All i have achieved so far is remain content so far, but im still apprehensive about my future and dont really care to live. I just dont feel like killing myself is the only difference.

i was prescribed prozac and was told to expect the drugs to take effect about a month or two later. after about 4 months of taking them i felt nothing whatsoever so i stopped taking them and its been almost a year since

Was on a pretty intense SNRI (Effexor XR) for about 1.5 years.

Mostly just made me feel numb. The depressive rumination went away, the anxiety went away, and my brain felt like it was in a constant fog. Besides a general feeling of cognitive sluggishness, the only notable side effect was anorgasmia. Slept with one girl during this period, and bless her heart, we would go at it for 30+ minutes with no sign of an orgasm. It was very frustrating for the both of us.

Overall, I just didn't feel like I was me anymore. Yeah, I have plenty of issues and the mood disorder can be hell sometimes, but it's something I missed about myself. I'd rather be a fucking weirdo than a bland medication zombie. Not to mention I've been finding a lot of ways to deal with my shit that isn't frying my brain with pills.

>SSRI's aren't supposed to make you happy
I know the problem is most people who have not taken them don't fucking know

except they just numb you and you have very little motivation. At best you pursue some shit tier job and work your self to death. What they mean by success is to make you enough of a robot to stay in some shit job your entire life.Although to be fair that is more of a benzo thing than an anti depressant thing.

But hey if you guys want to cling to false hopes then be all means have at it.

I was on lexapro for a month and felt worse. Now ive been on remeron for a month and im tired all the time and want to give up and kms. Antidepressants are a meme
the drug industry does not want to cure you, they would rather treat you with shitty expensive drugs and meme therapy

Depends how your body reacts to the medication. Some people swear by it and feel much better taking them, others lose their minds and end up shooting a school. As for me I took Sertraline with Abilify and I got severe, fucked up panic attacks after a month of taking them and I ended up in the psychward 2 months later on Christmas day.

I should also add that even if you find the right medication, your pharmacist could change the brand of meds you're taking (sometimes without you knowing) and that can drastically affect your head. Some people have sued pharmacists for doing that because their condition worsen after the brand change.
