Why do SSRIs take so long to start taking effect? What actually happens in the brain?

Completely wrong. Prime example of someone not knowing jack shit acting as if they knew. In the synapse, neurotransmitters are released to stimulate with whatever function they have. These are taken back (reuptake) by the neurons when theyre supposed to stop stimulating and be recycled. (SS) (R)euptake (I)nhibitors prevents that and thus neurons never receive a signal to stop producing serotonin.

The only thing SSRIs actually do is break your dick permanently.

this. currently weaning off lexapro after years of ssris.

How much Lexapro did you use to take famalam? How many mgs?

Someone please tell me the emotional blunting is not permanent.

Anything messing with dopamine causes memory loss. People abusing drugs like ecstasy that flood the brain with dopamine experience permanent cognitive impairment. Interactions between neurotransmitters are complex and not well understood yet. High serotonin can cause impulsiveness and aggression from the synapses becoming too sensitive. Murderers are often found to be whacked out on high doses of SSRIs. From my understanding ADHD is mostly caused from a lack of norepinephrine. Norepinephrine causes neurons receptive to it to fire longer in a focused manner, which stimulates other neural processing. Without slow-firing neurons guiding activity the brain becomes disorganized and hyperactive.

It's commonplace to treat ADHD by increasing dopamine but this is a terrible way to approach it because dopamine is what decides which memories to keep. People taking Ritalin complain of severe memory loss. A lack of dopamine is usually only a symptom of a lack of focused behaviour producing novel stimuli and rewards that result in dopamine being released, but it's not that simple. Sometimes dopaminergic neurons are unable to produce enough dopamine, something else is causing dopamine to breakdown too quickly, or something is inhibiting it. Potassium deficiency can also cause hyperactivity because sodium and potassium ions modulate the activation thresholds of neurons. There are a lot of factors at play and it depends on the person.

>Anything messing with dopamine causes memory loss. People abusing drugs like ecstasy that flood the brain with dopamine experience permanent cognitive impairment.
I thought the problem with ecstasy giving cognitive inpairment was due to Serotonin toxicity lmao

>Murderers are often found to be whacked out on high doses of SSRIs.
Do you have any source for that?

>Norepinephrine causes neurons receptive to it to fire longer in a focused manner, which stimulates other neural processing.
That actually does make sense.

>people taking Ritalin complain of severe memory loss.
Ritalin has never once worsened my memory, it has only ever improved it.

Now that your penis (boiclit) will no longer be able to get hard lock it in chastity and become a bottom, you could let robots TOP your boicunt so they can lose their virginity and not be depressed

How is your girly penis OP? Are you prepared to bottom?

My penis has never stopped working while on SSRIs.

That's a shame depressed mentally I'll robots make great bottoms

what part of what i said is any different than what you said, other than me explaining it in a different way? i treied to use simpler words to explain to someone who might not know anything about this shit.
the magic pills make more happy chemicals. i don't care about the details of the nervous system i only care about mechanisms of action.

this. it doesn't give you ED, it makes reaching an orgasm much more difficult. But being able to fuck for hours straight (with no climax) is not the worst curse.

>being able to fuck for four hours straight (with no climax) is not the worst curse

Not the worst, but it sucks pretty fucking bad. I dated a girl who began avoiding having sex with me because I lasted too long. Initially she loved the super crazy marathon fuck sessions but eventually that gets old, for both parties.

>t. 7 years on SSRI's, 5 years off. Dick still hasn't recovered.

Psilocybin releases massive amounts of norepinephrine and serotonin but not dopamine. Without dopamine the plastic changes to synapses are not saved by the brain and they gradually return to their previous state by homeostatic plasticity. People who take LSD or mix psilocybin and ecstasy can end up with cognitive defects or flashbacks because these abnormal states become wired into the brain by dopamine.

>Do you have any source for that?
It's just something I notice reading the news. I don't think there has been a study on it but here's an article: commonground.ca/mass-murderers-ssris/

>Ritalin has never once worsened my memory, it has only ever improved it.
If your brain is disposing dopamine too quickly then of course Ritalin is beneficial. The problem is people abuse it without understanding its mechanism and it's prescribed for people with ADHD who have normal dopamine function but lack norepinephrine. Interfering with the delicate balance of neurotransmitters when we don't have proper methods yet to diagnose the source of these problems has been doing irreversible damage to people's minds.
