Doctors don't prescribe the good depression drugs first any more. They make you take several weak ass meme drugs first, telling you that they need to find the one that works for you.

Also almost all of them make your dick stop working for months/years/ever depending on how unlucky you are

They work for bloatmaxxing

Yes, kind of.
They most likley won't magically take your depression away.
For me they helped me deal with anger and compulisive behavior more then actual depression.

some do but your doctor won't be prescribing them to you

ltheanine works, cbd oils work, straight gaba does not work, direct stimulators of gaba promote downregulation of gaba receptors (xanax, alcohol) making it impossible/hard to quit.

the best thing to do is exercise and upregulate gaba receptors in the brain. squats and l-theanine.

No. They will turn you into a mass shooter. Pretty much all mass shooters were on them.

lmao that's how you're supposed to do it you dipshit

the stronger the drug is, the higher the risk of side effects and the worse they are. If you can be good on a mild drug, no reason to go onto something extreme. Same for doses. It's called titration

ED is a big side effect though and a valid reason to change into something else

the mass shooters almost universally went on their sprees after they STOPPED taking their meds you retard. They thought they were fine and didn't want to take meds anymore because of the stigma attached, surprise surprise, they're still fucked in the head

Pill are bad mkay. What is good for one persons receptors can completely fuck up another persons dopamine/serotonin system.

There is only a few real cures for depression, and their effectiveness is a result of what was actually causing the depressive symptoms.
listed in order of effectiveness to fix depression:
1. Extended Cardio. Stimulates the brain, increases blood flow, helps moderate dopamine response.
2. Sunlight and Vit D. Yeah theres a litany of studies showing the correlation between vit d and depression symptoms. You can take supplements, but studies show appropriate sun exposure (and therefore natural vit d production) is most effective.
3. Intestinal flora and dietary health. This is a relatively newer correlation, where science has found that the intestinal walls contain receptors directly linking to the brain and the dopamine/serotonin systems which are modulated by intestinal bacteria. Sounds crazy, but its fact.

in summation, go for a 30 minute run with your shirt off and eat some fermented shit like kefir or sauerkraut or probiotic yogurt

>exercise and depression goes away

Been through severe depression so here is my consensus form a person who knows your standpoint.
Your depression is likely caused by prolonged exposure to stress or by prolonged non stimulation(eg not going out of your house, being productive etc) or a combination of both these factors.
The only true cure for depression is to spend time introspecting yourself and pinpoint the causes of your condition, and thus by knowing what the cause is you can start fixing the problem by hitting the source directly.
Depression meds such as SSRI's do work but they come with a fuckton of side effects, including permanent erectile dysfuction.
The one thing that helped me personaly was using xanax(note the difference between the words USE and ABUSE) it basicaly removed the stress and i could better help myself to get through what put me in this vegetative depressed state.
L-theanine is also great and i do believe it helped a lot, i'm still using it and i highly recommend it.
Any form of medication is just a tool to help you help yourself.
The only determining factor for curing your depression is how you go about fixing it's causes

shrooms worked for me desu

Unironically same but prepare to be terrified beyond your wildest dreams. I did Golden Teacher and about 20 minutes into the trip the shrooms were like let’s discuss all of your existential fears and doubts you’ve been hiding from everyone.

Talk to a doctor man, also really think about what you’ve been doing as of late. Try and sleep and wake up at a consistent time, check out your diet, and honestly try mindfulness it helps me out.

back then i took 5 grams and ended up in front of a mirror. i then proceeded to give myself a motivational speech for 2 hours. then on the comedown i wrote a journal, still have it pinned to my wall

maybe. first ones i tries made me want to tear off my skin and set myself on fire; second ones i tried worked swimmingly but tanked my libido so i supplemented with L-tyrosine. i'm a ph.d student in this field, i'll check this thread in two hours if you guys want any questions answered

If you dont care for your sex drive then go ahead

Don't use and start fasting

no they don't. just take some vitamin d faggot.

Most don't help, or they help the depression but make you miserable in other ways. The one that worked best and had least sides was Welbutrin.

What if the only reason I'm depressed is because of loneliness and social anxiety?

I can't imagine drugs helping with that, besides a coping mechanism.

Ur gonna gain a ton of weight LOL

Don't take anti psychotics either. Just stop smoking weed

Stoping smoking marijuana did absolutely nothing to help my depression. In fact it probably made it worse cause the weed helps a bit with the anxiety.

I had a mental breakdown because I put my hand into a pool and I related opening and closing my hand to the continents flowing apart. My parents are divorced and my sister lives in another state, my girlfriend and I had recently broken up. I asked my friends to hold my hand and none of them complied saying I was fine. Proceeded to cry for like 5 minutes straight and roll away from them and said that "you're all being Hollywood!" which was them acting like they had to care because now it was an issue. Then I proceeded to berate my best friend for 10 minutes because he didn't speak to me for 6 months at one point and didn't care about our friendship. Once that ended I more or less collapsed and was pretty okay afterwards.
10/10 not gonna lie, the really horrific shit is what you need to learn about yourself. I'm doing considerably better now.

Do you actually work out or are you here for the memes?

I took citalopram and it has permanently changed my mind, I cannot advise against it strongly enough.

You're better off without the weed anyway. It's the easiest way to do absolutely fuck-all with your life, I've never met a stoner who wasn't a total fuckin' loser. They're chill but they're losers.

You have to give it a few weeks stupid. This is real life. Things don't just get fixed when you decide they should be. Welcome to adulthood.

I was homeless through my teens and early twenties. These aren't real problems because neither of us has ever gone a day without starving get over it. People dont like you because You're an attention hungry little shit clearly trying desperately to be pitied when you don't give a shit about the fact that we all have problems. Be a big boy and nut up. Nobody cares.

Love how he totally ignored this one because it subjected his behavior to adult-level scrutiny.

OP, why are your feelies the most important ones? Why should the world jump up to make sure you're okay?

The world is hostile and impersonal. No amount of consolation changes that. Don't take pills. Become a man who can endure real life.

how?
what are the good ones?

No, it's Jewish mind control

A couple months ago I quit for almost a whole month cause I had to pass a drug test for a job. Went right back to smoking as soon as I passed the test.

No. Your personal problems are still going to exist and not go away just cause you took some meme pills.

No.
Never did.
Just permanently fucks up your brain.

Yeah.
If you're depressed enough to turn on a computer, make this thread, and read through it, and have the energy to read any of that or comprehend it.
You're not that fucking depressed or depressed at all.

You can sit there and wallow in it and let it eat you alive or you can die.

They appear to have worked for my friend. Got him out his parent's basement and into his own place with a part time job, which seems to have done him good. Nowadays he'll even join in on almost anything the rest of us do without cancelling at the last moment.

lifting is better than most meds user

No.

Im currently on 30mg of prozac and it's improved my life

Been on for 3 months. Thinking about going to 40

They didn't work for me.

Then again, nothing has worked for me.

FML

I'm gonna try some this weekend, any tips?

Was supposed start off by taking a quarter of these. Took a whole one once and threw up soon after. Felt like shit too.

They are supposed to up your serotonin levels. I never took one again after that. I don't want to be dependent on meds.

I just kinda float through life.

Where can I get shrooms? Darkweb? Also, shrooms vs lsd?

Buy the spores online and grow them yourself, it's perfectly legal to posses the spores

Welbutrin is the shit, first antidepressant I took without major side effects. Helped me with some memory/attention problems too, apparently it's also prescribed for milder cases of ADD/ADHD when doctor's don't want to give their patients Ritalin or adderral right off the bate

Brains are complicated. Meds are complicated. Side effects can be interested, it build, and can go away, it be long term. They will give you low doses of one med, and you'll need to stay on it for a while to know if it's right and working. Dealing with the initial side effects can be a bitch, but if you don't tough it out for three it four weeks, you'll never know. Also it might be no effect, intended or side, for a month, and they'll need to up dosage.

Basically, find a Dr, get a feel of if you can trust their judgment, and follow their plan. If they try and put you on a cocktail of drugs right away, or ignore your concerns, get a different doctor.

I had a shitty doctor that put me on lots of different ones "for sleep", but none of them have me ED. There were some that desensitized things which made it really hard to cum though. After a while my body got used to it. When I got off of it I was mr two pump for a few weeks, which really boosted my wife's self esteem.

>Side effects can be immediate, or build, and can go away, or be long term.
you autocorrect.

Good advice, but recommending xanax to someone who claims they are depressed is terrible advice even if you were able to take it responsibly. Xanax withdrawal can kill you, it's addicting as fuck, and tolerance rises quickly. Add to that the fact they are relatively cheap, and easy to take and conceal. It's easy to see why there is so many zoomers retarded on the shit.

That's why they don't actually prescribe that with regularity to new patients. They try other less dangerous ones first.

Maybe, I knew two coworkers who took anti depression meds and apparently recognized the side effects in each other so well they could tell they both took meds despite never mentioning it. Side effects were being emotionless and quiet.

Also funny how a lot of mental disorders are categorized by symptoms and not causes. Meds manage the symptoms but no meds actually fix any problems causing those symptoms.

It's been proven that prozac is actually worse then placebo.
It also fucks up your mind foever.

>Side effects were being emotionless and quiet.
what if i'm emotionless and quiet without taking any pills and it's the reason why i'm depressed in the first place?

It's more profitable to throw pills at a list of random symptoms. Hell it's even more profitable to MAKE psychological problems that they'll need to fix with head shrink time pills and in some cases plastic surgery.

They don't care about helping you. Only fattening their wallets.

>crabs in a bucket telling depressed people not to get help
every time
fuck off Jow Forums

I believe disorders like bipolar have meds which do allow someone to manage their symptoms to the point they can live much better but for things like ADHD, depression and anxiety I'm inclined to agree.

I don't know user, just posting my anecdote. I think there's more to be gained from tackling the causes rather than the symptoms. You're depressed because you're emotionless and quiet but why? Do you not know how to interact? Want to but fear fucking up? Don't have a lot of chances to?

I'm not a professional. I think some therapists can help you figure things like this out if you can't.

My sister's been doing all of that for months and she's still taking her meds and seeing a therapist. ofc now you're gonna say to quit the meds and the therapist, but then she'd kill herself t b h.

>dick stops working
So they mess/lower with testosterone, fuck with blood flow, or are the depression and erection receptors are similar?

Made me want to kill myself desu

I take 5 mg daily. Dick didn't work as well at 10 mg as it does at 5 but I could fuck forever. Also felt weird on it at 10 mg

Worst side for me is insomnia but I've figured that one out largely

>2. Sunlight and Vit D. Yeah theres a litany of studies showing the correlation between vit d and depression symptoms. You can take supplements, but studies show appropriate sun exposure (and therefore natural vit d production) is most effective.
Does sunscreen significantly fuck with this?
