Hey bros, my doctor prescribed me Lexapro for reasons, and I'm wondering if this shit is gonna make my dick fall off and cause me to lose all my gains. Can't really bring myself to mentally start taking based on some of the stories I've heard.
Any experiences?

They seriously dampened my penile sensitivity, destroyed my sex drive, and made me seriously suicidal. The worst part is I can confidently say that my sexual function has not returned to what it was pre-treatment. At best its 70% of what it was. Some people report total loss of libido and erectile function that is permanent.
Just do a quick read up on PSSD and you'll never risk taking another jew pill again
listen to your doctor:
Ive taken welbutrin as an antidepressant and it worked. its also a stimulant. ask for that instead if the lexapro makes you tired. other than that dont worry about losing .3% test cause of your crazy pills unless they actually make it hard to be motivated.
These are literally the horror stories that are stopping me from taking it, even though if it worked it would arguably be worth it
I worked as a psych nurse for 8+ years
You really don't want to play around with this stuff unless you *have* to.
Figure out what makes you depressed
Do things that make you feel better.
Lifting weights or running is usually something that makes people feel better.
If you're suicidal, get help, figure out why and fix it. Find something to live for and focus on hobbies and friends.
SSRI's are actually quite gross. They're blocking serotonin in some areas, though the neurochemical is correlative with potential of blood-clotting.
L-DOPA, 5-HTP, and neurotransmitter-protecting, powerful antioxidants are where a lot of the abundance is with taking nutriments.
It's hell. I got used to it and I enjoy the fact that I'm not nearly as emotional as before, but the suicidal thoughts, the zombie state it puts you into, it's fucking hell.

"just stop being sad bro, fuck"
Once you get older than 24 life just makes sense and you settle into what your mindset should be and you really shouldn't be suicidal after that age unless something is really wrong
Lift weights and cut out shitty things/people from your life.
Keep shit simple.
OP, I'm like 28-32 bro. My experience is the exact opposite. Most people my age are extremely depressed and anxious.
I was put on lexapro @ 40mg per day when I was 19, said fuck this after 6 months and just refused to renew my script. 2 weeks of withdrawals and the occasional withdrawal symptom popping up for the next 12 months, and I believe it is why I've got the things wrong with me that I do now.
Lexapro should be fucking illegalised.
What about for anxiety bros what do
Lexapro has helped me but I am seeing my doctor soon to switch it up. I don't feel it has worked quite well enough and my libido is low despite starting TRT some time ago
Just use it and find out. It won't kill you and if it was prescribed it was prescribed for a reason. If it helps, the sides are far better than the depths of clinical depression
take my advice then
your job sucks? get a new one
Well my issues are unrelated to general depression and anxiety. I just mean it's kinda an issue these days.
Yeah, the correlatives of "renovation" are really "significant".
Try and get switched to prozac. Currently taking it and its working great.
Honestly, post the amounts / consistency of …

>omega 3s
I take about 2g of high quality epa/dha every day
>>all vitamins and minerals
I take VitaJym in the morning, calcium / 5k iu Vitamin D at lunch, and ZMA at night as not to interfere with absorption on anything. I'm getting them alright.
>100g+ protein (moreso, 150g+, especially if that's the personal sourcing of neurochemical metabolites)
I hit 160+ grams of protein per day between shakes, eggs, turkey, and chicken. I eat very clean.
>antioxidants
Not sure what to say about antioxidants. What are you taking for them?
Please don’t listen to people on the internet about your medication.
Take exactly what you’re prescribed and don’t read up on anything. I have no idea where I would be today without the push my meds gave me and I’m so thankful for it.
You’re not supposed to suddenly stop taking an SSRI. You’re supposed to politely ask your psychiatrist to ween you off slowly to prevent undesirable withdrawals.
>taking
When affordable, Sangre de Grado and astaxanthin. … Right now moreso simply astaxanthin.
That, the neurochemical substrates, ~ 4g x 4 vitamin C, and keto / hypocglycemia were of the largest (physical) juncture for calmness and happiness.
"what?"
Did your doctor or a psychiatrist? I would never trust a doctors recommendation for that.
My psychiatrist told me that they don't work so he wouldn't put me on them.
