Worst 10 years of my life.
Made EVERYTHING worse.
Best decision I ever made was coming off them 8 months ago, my life has improved 1000% since quitting them cold turkey.

Do you think they helped you initially?

It basically killed my ability to get a boner or pursue women. Which only depressed me worse.

You will never cum again as long as you take them.

Take SNRIs instead.

Do SNRIs work for you? Did they successfully treat your depression?

They seem to be so far. SSRIs also never really made a difference for me depression-wise.

I don't know why psychiatrists like SSRIs so much. I was first given zoloft. Made me shit constantly, killed my libido, but marginally improved my mood. Was switched to wellbutrin after a while and depression was pretty much cured.

Went to a new psychatrist and she perscribed me Viibrd. Made me shit even more than the zoloft, and on top of that it made me depressed as fuck. I would literally wake up in the middle of the night wishing I was dead, it was horrible. At one point I considered walking to the woods and slicing my throat with a knife. However, unlike the Zoloft, it actually increased my libido and I woke up with a rock hard boner every morning. During the day if I got horny I couldn't think straight until I had a quick wank.

Said fuck that medication and went back to wellbutrin and all was good again.

MDMA is completely out of your system in 5 days, your brain chemistry is back to normal within a month - you're literally experiencing a placebo

Schizofag, I've been on a few ssris (paxil, prozac, wellbutrin). I "tried" each one for a year thinking after a month or two it has to get better, right... and I kept waiting for things to change. Mind you I was also trying out different antipsychotics in tandem (Seroquel, Abilify, and Zyprexa). After three years and different combinations I was worse than when I entered treatment.

Before any pills I was just absent a lot, I spoke to things and people that weren't there... sometimes I knew they were figments but indulged them anyways; sometimes I thought they were real. Once taking the pills I stopped getting lost, found a sleep schedule that worked... but I started gaining mad weight and although I was able to experience what was actually happening around me accurately what I really gained was a pair of spectacles that allowed me to see clearly but made me hate everything I looked at. I was not happy. They did not cure my depression, they just trapped me and paralyzed my personality and creativity.

For a long time I figured it was worth it... I could maintain relationships and work a steady job and live so "successfully" according to the standards my parents and society set for me. I hated every second of it. I felt like I was in a waiting room with no promise that my number would ever be called, and I didn't even have my imagination to help me pass the time.

It's been almost 10 months since I stopped taking any meds, things were rough initially... very chaotic. I had to explain to my friends what I was doing and they were supportive. New friends who never knew me before the meds were excited to meet the "Real Me" and old friends told me they were ready to "welcome me back," and that I haven't been the same in years. I started getting lost again. Slowly my imagination became stronger and the sadness imposed by that permanent feeling of being stuck and waiting lifted. I fell in love with myself again, and my idiosyncrasies became badges to be proud of.
