I slowly dropped my dosage of SSRI and I started feeling happy instead of apathetic. Sure I feel sad too but it's infinitely better than permanently being in the darker part of the grey scale of happy/sad.
Numbing effects causes people to go shut-in. And let's be honest, you don't enjoy your life as it is, otherwise you wouldn't be whining on /r9k/ 24/7.
If you have anxiety just get benzodiazepines.
SSRIs and Anti-psychotics are cancer.

I need SSRIs because i have horrible ocd and without it im in a constant state of dread and extreme anxiety,

>tfw depression started after i began taking anti-depressants

My life already was spiraling out of control but could the meds have made it worse?

>>35069267
taking ssri's is my biggest regret in life.

even if i'd killed myself, i'd have been better off than taking fucking lexapro.

ssri's legit gave me brain damage. too fucked/poor to prove it. but i know, i just fucking know that in the future some shit is going to come out proving all this.

ssri's are modernized lobotomies in pill form.

Taking 20mg prozac and 1.5mg risperidon, it feels great to keep hearing it's a meme (because it is)

all these sad fags who fell for the non antibiotic drugs meme

why should i stop using them

I'm in the process of quitting Venlafaxine. It's an SNRI, and the withdrawals are worse than when I quit benzos, buspirone, bupropion, and citalopram all at once.

>when the brain zaps hit

>>35071905
Oh, I forgot to add lithium to the list of things I quit.

>>35070482
Same for me, I went to the doctor for anxiety and he gave me ssris. After that I started experience depression as well: tiredness, emptiness, brain fog.
Even after I stopped,it didn't go away.

>>35069267
Already did. They don't fucking do shit. Feels the fucking same except for the side effects which only get worse the bigger the dose gets.

Fuck off, zoloft helps relieve my ruminating depression and anxiety

>>35070092
Why would you take an SSRI if you could feel happiness?

Currently taking Sertraline in 100 mg doses. Haven't technically taken any in at least half a year. The anxiety is back but I never felt any side effects. Should I go back on them? I have around 5-10 doses left.

>>35069267
I did back in November.
Haven't felt this alive in a decade.
Taking anti-depressants any longer would have been the death of me.

>>35071922
>The brain zaps lasted for months the last time I quit
>Quitting a different SSRI and now I'm getting the zaps plus horrible dizziness

I can barely walk, this is fucked.

>TFW SSRIs probably saved my life
The Jew pharma meme is retarded. BMI love my Prozac from Dr. Goldenbergstien

I'm numb as hell without SSRIs so I don't really think I have much to lose.

>>35070092
I completely agree, it's horrifying how popular SSRIs are. Over 25% of women take them.

Man, I could only jerk off once every two weeks when I was on Zoloft, and it was still tough. That stuff makes it nearly impossible to cum. Now I can do it daily again.

Effexor did the same thing.

I'm on lamotrigine (lamictal) now, and I have no side effects and I think feel actually better, no extremely low suicidal moods for months now. Fuck SSRI's though.

>>35072032
No, don't just restart medications especially with that little left. Go and see your old psychiatrist or GP doctor and tell them you're interested in retrying it.

Although personally I hated zoloft as per

Was previously on Sertraline 150 mg doses, and other than maybe finding it harder to cum I didn't notice any real side effects. I haven't taken them in probably 8 months.

Only problem is that my anxiety is starting to get really bad again. Hoping to get back onto something to help deal with anxiety/depression. Are there non SSRI options to deal with these things effectively?

Start using tricyclics

teaspoon of cement

>>35069267
ssris are a way of a doctor saying "I literally don't Care, take these pills, they're basically as effective as placebos, idgaf about your bs"

>>35073106
I'm not giving a dumb animeposter any advice aside from telling you to hurl yourself into traffic

>>35071922
The brain zaps after quitting venlafaxine were even worse than those I got after abusing MDMA for a week. They usually strike when I'm in bed or when I roll my eyes for some reason.

>>35073276
Liquid or solid?

>>35074434
It's weird, I quit effexor XR cold turkey after like 4 months and I never got anything remotely like a brain zap...

Try 5-HTP. Cheap, don't need a prescription, and it actually naturally increases serotonin. Lowers your sex drive, but doesn't completely kill your dick like SSRIs do.

>>35069267
I'm on NDRI (bupropion) and I don't feel different at all.

I have generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and OCD and those also cause me depression, i have no other choice than use SSRI to live, otherwise it's just surviving day after day

I know all those feels. I'll never forgive those fucking kikes for fooling my mom into giving that shit to me. It turned me into a massive beta autist who can hardly even speak without loosing track of what I'm saying.

>>35069267
>Have horrible panic attacks and anxiety
>See doctor
>Get out on 20mg of Prozac daily
>First two weeks I feel weird.
>Weak legs, no appetite, tired all the time, feel like I'm in a fog
>Starting in week 3 I feel normal again and without anxiety
>Still taking it three years later
>Haven't had to up the dosage or take different drugs
>Feel fine
>Have never had dick issues
>Still horny all the time

I got fat but that was my own dumb fault for eating like shit and not working out

Too late, I took them in high doses during puberty so the damage is already done.

This and the thisening.

>>35070092
They're probably taking too much. I take 20mg a day and they help tremendously. Before I couldn't laugh or smile; nothing made me want to. Now I can genuinely enjoy things. Of course, you have to get through the first month. That sucked.

>>35076407
What's wrong with the first month? I want to start taking them but I'm going on holiday in 20 days for 2 weeks. Will it completely ruin the holiday, should I hold off until after?

i take SNRI

I'm taking Sandoz-escitalopram and smoking weed. What are your drugs of choice robots?

makes me feel like I am in a haze

They made me constantly fatigued, they made me lose the motivation to do anything, they made me gain up to 60+ pounds all in my waist area (look up Metabolic Syndrome to know more), they made me lose my hair.

Then I get off of them after a few years and my fatigue goes away completely and I lose all that weight.

The hair is gone forever though =^(
