Are antidepressants useful? Or are they a dangerous thing that

i've had nothing but bad luck with them but i've heard others have really benefited. it's a complete crap shoot and you need to have a lot of faith in your doctor/psychiatrist.

for me the only thing that worked was xanax/valium and that just leads to whole other series of problems

microdose psilocybin.

you will be healed.

It's pretty hard to say, as it varies from person to person. It can strongly help some people and for others, like me, it has very few if any effects. Sorry for the non answer, but the best advice is to talk to a psychiatrist and see what they think you'll need. Antidepressants usually take 4-8 weeks to have a visible effect so it's not something that you will immediately notice or can judge the effects of. If you don't like the way they're affecting you, there's tons of antidepressants with different effects, so it does take some experimenting

I've been on some stuff, but while it helped a lot (specially in the aspect of talking to people) I still feel extremely unmotivated.
It's possible your doctor will tell you about the meme of "antidepressants don't work alone, you have to go to therapy too so when you stop taking it your life isn't the same way it was before you taking those".
Also sleep. It fucked up my sleep schedule a lot. I can sleep for 12 hours and still be drowsy all day. Fuck.

depends on many factors

if you eat a shit diet, get no exercise, have a terrible sleep schedule you should absolutely not be going to straight to anti depressants

oh yeah forgot to mention, it fucks up your dick pretty bad. it took forever to cum and it felt 1/10th as good as before. i learnt to wank before taking my meds each day so at least then it felt kinda good

currently using heavy meds to help with MDD, Anhedonia and social anxiety
it doesn't fucking work, it just numbs the pain and the second you stop taking it it's like all the illness piled up into a massive shit tsunami and the floodgates were openned
the worst part is my illnes isn't a mental disorder, it's something more, something that i couldn't put in words even if i spent 5 years brainstorming about.
eventualy you'll stop caring, you'll stop taking meds and realize nothing fucking matters, we have no goals, we have no dreams, we have no purpose to live, we are missprints among the human factory.


psychiatrists and meds are memes, don't fall for the bullshit they'll sell just to keep you in line.
