Did antidepressants work for anyone with anxiety.
It's been 3 weeks and I feel nothing.

It takes at least six weeks to kick in.

1,5 years, nothing. Sertralind, Venlafaxine and fluoxetine. Literally nothing changed.

Been on 60 mg of Prozac for 4 - 5 months now and it's honestly incredible how much it has helped. I went from having panic attacks almost every time I went to the grocery store by myself to working a customer service job where I have to interact with tons of people every day.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm still a miserable sack of shit but at least I'm a somewhat functional miserable sack of shit now.

>antidepressants

How do people still fall for this meme in the woke age of 2019

>I feel nothing
Then they're working user

i was on high doses of zoloft and effexor for over a year each with no effects whatsoever. I've heard MAOI work pretty well though.

They worked for depression. Anti anxiety, no. They made it noticeably worse.

They take a while to work. Didn't do anything for me. Nothing works.

no i am told im untreatable.
tehy may help you though

Try anything else before you resort to antidepressants

They seriously impact how your brain functions, if you become dependent on them you will be in for a bad time if you ever decide you want to try to wean off them.

Chill, the side effects aren't that heavy, it's very rare to be that threatening.

In some cases ADs have little to no impact at all.

for real, fuckin lol. SSRI's aren't fuckin hard drugs. The only noticeable side effect I've had is that it takes slightly longer to cum when jerkin it which is probably a good thing if anything.

amen brother, SSRI and SNRI are as benign as asprin. They hand em out like candy because they're safe and don't do too much. saves them from liability.

Well, have you ever read the possible side effects of those aspirin and the likes?

They could burn your stomach badly.
Once I took one of those and got stomach cramps in exchange for less headaches.

you're the exception, everything has side effects most are uncommon.

I tried about 4, none of them worked (although for me it's chronic depression)

7 years sertraline, citalopram, venlafaxine, mirtazapine. off them now and not convinced they did anything beneficial.

Pretty much. Nardil absolutely destroys anxiety.

I've been debating sacking up and heading back to a psychiatrist to try to get an MAOI.

>Want to get on anti-anxiety meds
>Too anxious to go to the doctor

same here, want to get those MAOI but i'm too scared to make an appointment.

I started taking sertraline like two weeks ago. I was told to take 50mg's, but wanted to be safe so only took 25mg for the first two days. Wasn't really experiencing side effects, or any effects for that matter, so the third day I took 50mg.

Let me just clarify before I get a bunch of triggered weebs telling me "hUrR dUrR pLaCeBo", I'm 26 years old and have been living with a number of anxiety disorders including OCD for years and depression. On day three my mind was quiet and I felt "clean" for the first time in my life. I was slipping into a major depressive episode, and it pulled me right out.

That initial feeling has passed and I get the same sensation every couple of days for a couple of days, but otherwise my moods are much more stable since I started. Before I would spiral and get anxious or depressed, and now my body starts doing what it normally does, but in my mind I just kind of observe and am like "oh, well this feels kind of bad, but I think I can handle it". I don't feel amazing, I just feel stable. My doc wants me to go up since I'm at starting dose and I probably will just out of curiosity. I was terrified of what I read online about SSRI's and now I feel kind of stupid for listening to a bunch of people on the internet who either 1). Genuinely aren't responsive to SSRI's, which really sucks and I feel for them or .... 2). Don't really have problems and just lead a shitty lifestyle but refuse to fix their circumstances. They feel "sad" because their life sucks and confuse it for depression or something.
