First time I was prescribed antidepressants, my doctor was like: It's ok to feel emotional, it's ok to be scared, it's ok to be a little sad from time to time. We're humans after all. So what I'm gonna do is give you some meds that will only remove the extreme emotions. God bless the doctor and God bless Paxil. Never better. And the gf is happy too, since I can go for 30 minutes without stopping now, because of the side effects.

I'm in the beginning, only 20 days taking it. The results are reducing my bad days + I can sleep + more horny (my wife can confirm) + quieter brain. On the other hand I get dizzy and nauseous + joint pain. For now it's a good trade, hope I get better in the future and don't need them anymore.

Took some for 7 months, felt horrible the first month, and then exactly as the picture suggests, blank. No one in here. I stopped after 7 months and I came back to my senses and thought, where was I?

Its like "taking a vacation from yourself". Takes the bad away, but also the good. It saved my life, i was not seeing colors anymore.

I stopped 2 months ago. Start to feel horny again and feelings back but bad voice in my head came back also. Hope I'm strong enough.

I'm on antidepressants for 23 years. Tried numerous times to stop, but no doctor has been able to guide me through it. Everytime I went too fast when it can take years to wean off. Last time I almost pulled through, I remember how I loved the clearity in my head before shit hit the fan. But then I couldn't control my thoughts anymore and it freaked me out, so I went back on. I always hear how neutral I am and that people can't read me. I don't show much emotion and when I do it costs me a lot of energy. I think this medication can be a lifesaver for some, but if you somehow can manage without it, I would suggest the latter.

yup, antidepressants are not a solution but a temporary help to sort out the issue.

You should try some other brands/combos (if you haven’t). Takes a while to get it right but not all of them make you feel that way. Good luck ♥️

They flatten the curve, they don't make you happy. So if you are on average unhappy, you'll be the same. But if you suffer from mania then you will have less extremes

Well, I'm not depressed, I don't take medication, I'm not like the first picture The "normal" isn't happiness all the time. Meds just take off the darkness, it doesn't bring the light

It's called antidepressants, not happysants.

If I already feel nothing and emptyness, why should I take antidepressants, then?

try shrooms

I'm a doctor but I'm not a psychiatrist. Antidepressants are drugs that can work for periods of time but with my clinical experience I come to realize that if you take them chronically, it changes you as a person. Take them in an acute phase, as a bridge while you do psychotherapy, but not long term

I ended up a blank, confused mess, unable to make any decisions or have any enthusiasm to do anything. Was so glad when I decieded to stop taking them. Docs only wanted to up the dosage and add all sorts of other drugs to counter this or that side effect

Anti depressants fuck you up more than drugs. The numb feeling of emptiness they cause for some is fucking terrible.
