Hey Jow Forums, thinkin of taking Wellbutrin

Please don't take wellbutrin. It literally fucked up my brain thought patterns and I talk to myself all the fucking time. Wellbutrin is fucking garbage and will give you mental disorders/brain damage. Not kidding.

>you can not be physically healthy and also depressed
the fact that Jow Forums exists proves you wrong

>antidepressants work by causing your brain to release neurotrophic factors that help you rewire. but they only do that until your brain has adjusted to the presence of the "antidepressant",

interesting theory but literally just that. the physiological effects of many many drugs are not actually understood whatsoever and the drugs were developed with trial and error. for example, google General Anaesthetic and you will find that even something used for many many years is not even understood, but simply proven effective.

>Drugs can prevent a crisis, but they can also cause it. They're truly a force that you have to respect and appreciate.

I don't necessarily agree with your point that every problem can be solved without drugs, at least not with the way our world is shaped today. That said, I absolutely agree with you here; chemicals are powerful, and bigger than you. Your feelings are basically manifestations of chemicals in your brain. When I hardly ever had any sort of emotional problems but I started taking thyroid medication that made me so anxious that I wanted to die by 11:30 every day, I knew there was something fucked chemically. The feelings felt.. artificial, but there was no eliminating them.

Respect drugs OP. They are powerful.

Why? Most people on Jow Forums aren't really Jow Forums, just like most people on /lit/ don't really read and most people on Jow Forums don't know shit about business. I can tell you from personal experience that exercise, sun and nature WILL improve your mental state substantially. It might not cure the worst of depressions, but the majority of people who are depressed are depressed due to environmental factors. Also, fix your diet and learn how to cook. No more fast food.

Hey man. Literally one week ago I started Lexapro (4 days in total) but ended up making me feel the worst I’ve ever felt in my life, and the whole thing was a massive wake up call.

I stopped taking the tablets, somehow started thinking more positively, went harder in the gym, lifted heavier etc.
Also take a good fish oil, zinc, vitamin b multi and a good pro biotic.

Eat healthy, think positively and work your arse off in the gym and you’ll start feeling better.
Others here will give great advice so figure out what’s best for you.
Anons are right when they say it’s a temporary fix to a bigger underlying issue that you will have to fix. Maybe you need help (Antidepressants) to get you started, maybe not.
Good luck user, you will feel better soon.

>Of antidepressants it's the best IMO. I've taken it a while with no real problems. Feels kinda like a calm quarter line of blow all the time, at first. Its usefulness fades after a while though. Don't listen to the "exercise more" idiots who read roissy/internet male shit. I work out all the time but if you need it you need it. Even if you don't absolutely need it but it makes things better it's worth it. Take any advantage

ok dr. petersberg
