I want to take SSRI's to cope with my depression and anxiety even though I know they'll probably do more harm than good, but it's just something different to do!

Convince me it isn't healthy to be take SSRI's, and instead be miserable in this world.

I dont know where the rumors come from that SSRIs make you into a zombie or something. SSRIs completely changed my life. I thought I was a hopeless alcoholic doomed to drink to oblivion or abstain completely. Tried different therapists or just self-improvement. Depression is a complicated thing, nothing I did got rid of it. SSRIs helped tremendously.

I've been taking it for 2 years now, it hasn't affected my strength or appetite or anything. It slightly lowers my libido I've noticed but that's it.

I am taking 200mg of zoloft. Everything improved. The biggest improvement is that i can actual do things now, like cleaning up my room.

Just take it and see
If it doesn’t improve your life you can always stop

I don't care about her music but my god would I suck on those tiddies.

SSRI are made by (((them))) and big pharma...

fix yourself

I love that fucking photo, she looks like an actual sex doll

Take Prozac and fuck your doctor if he recommends anything else

Lol. You're a fag. I took 1 dose of Lexapro 10mg and it felt like I was on a low dose of shrooms. However, I would wake up with HORRENDOUS anxiety beyond anything I've ever felt. That shit is pure poison dude. The interaction I had is NOT supposed to happen. Instantly stopped taking it. Apparently I was headed towards Serotonin Syndrome. You're probably just a pussy bitch with nothing to do with your time. Grow some balls and stop looking for a cure in pill form. The cure is getting your diet right and training every fucking day. Whether it be running or lifting heavy asf. On top of that, you have to break out of your everyday norms and gtfo of your comfort zone... Fag.

>I had a bad experience!
>That means all psychiatric drugs are bad for everyone!

They aren't even a cure. They're supposed to help you get to a point where you can fix yourself, not do all the fixing for you.

Cope harder same fag. 100% positive youre a lazy fag that just wants the easy way out like everyone else. Dyel pussy I bet.

o am i laffin

You don't have to be miserable you know.
It's all in your head, I've been there.
Diet, regular excericies and a hard as shit job fixes a lot more than you believe it does, not even talking about sex with a loved one.

When I was 11 I was put on lexapro and gained a shit ton of weight and lost all sex drive, to the point I was not have any sort of interest in girls until I went off of them when I was 17

>o am I laffin

Pussy bitch. Bump this shit so we can all laugh at this fag. Take the Jew poison as you wish fool.

They don't work immediately and you'll feel like shit in the first week
One of them (escitalopram) has increased suicidal tendencies as a side effect
YMMV

I can not say whenever or not its healthy but I am on sertraline for 3 months now (first 2 weeks 50mg, then next 2 weeks 100mg, and until now I had 150mg) and honestly I fell ZERO difference.

Thankfully I have an appointment tomorrow so i might get something else.or increase the dose even more.

ITT: Literal insane people who think they don't need their medicine because it will make them crazy even though they already are

t. fuckin moron

why not check your hormone levels first and try trt?

Risk of permanent ED

I'd rather be insane than messed up on kike pills

Im 24 and in germany and asked my doc but he just laughed and said i should visit an urologist.
Anyone experience with german docs?

ITT: Massive generalizations made about a highly experimental field of medicine by retards whose experiences constitute a sample size of one. Jesus Christ I hate how terrible many of you are at critical thinking. Everyone's brain is wired differently, SSRIs may help or hurt OP or do nothing, but y'all don't know shit so shut the fuck up.

The only way you'll find out if any of them work for you is trial and error, and they all have different chemical mechanisms so you won't be able to conclude that all SSRIs are a good or bad idea by trying just one.

i guess european docs are all like that. im 26 from portugal with super low test and high prolactin and my doc also laughed and sent me away

Try it out man. I know it can be spooky to start, but it could change everything for you, as it has with many others. If it isnt helping or making things worse, just quit em.

Good on you for seeking help as well brother.

They helped me a lot user, gave me that little bit of motivation to actually do small tasks and eventually be social again. Getting out and being social really helped me put my life back on track. So imo go for it but beware the first two weeks they make your depression a lot worse but if you get past that it's a big help

Yes, try them all out, why don't ya? Couldn't hurt right?

NO! YOU DONT NEED TO DIET AND EXERCISE ON A DAILY BASIS AND ATTEMPT TO BETTER YOURSELF. Just take this here little """harmless""" pill!

I realize you're trolling, I'm just going to make a logical counterpoint: By all means, exercise and fix your diet. Furthermore, build good relationships, acquire a good job, engage in hobbies. But some people have a mutation that prevents them from synthesizing an adequate amount of seretonin or dopamine or nor-epinephrine. You can't correct that with diet or exercise, but you can compensate for it by keeping more of what you do synthesize in circulation. And maybe you don't have that mutation and you all those things I mentioned and it still doesn't feel like enough, and the SSRI helps.

I'll give you my anecdotal experience. I'm on 20mg of Trintellix (newer drug, fewer side effects). I was diagnosed with major depression, likely due to a specific gene I inherited. My circadian rhythm was ass backwards and I could not sustain a normal one. I battle extreme fatigue, motivation problems, a very nihilistic subpersonality aswell as a brutal psychological numbness (Present before SSRI's).

The meds didn't have the miracle effect I'd hoped for however it made my mornings easier and I'm now able to keep a 6am wake time. Social interaction has become less of a dreaded chore, and there seems to have been an increase in the filtering out of negative emotion. I still suffer greatly from motivation issues and fatigue however.

I'd say try them, but research them in depth. Some people respond differently. We tend to get people who've had a bad experience fearmonger all antidepressants, most of the time its because they weren't proper candidates or they abruptly stopped taking them(very bad idea). There is utility in them, they help many people reclaim their autonomy and they no longer need them, and some like me have it genetically therefore chronic. You'll know in roughly a month if they are what you need, you may also need to try multiple antidepressants to dial in your needs.

I Hope they help you, don't let anyone prevent you from trying them because of nonsense anecdotal fearmongering. You can just taper off them and move on.

Precisely this, it's worse to abstain from trying them than stay in your current psychological milieu when they could be the answer. Far too much misinformation. I used to be against them myself until I stopped being a mongrel and researched the literature.

SSRIs can completely change your brain for the better, but they fuck over your body and you will have to work out twice as hard to stay the same.

She's a complete butterface. Those milkers though...

It will lower your sex drive

I took it for around 6 months a couple years ago, it's fine and it does help. But it makes you feel a bit slow and too satisfied after a while. But if you're really down bro do it. No shame.
