Antidepressants make people insane?

Has anybody ever known anybody who started taking anti-depressants?

Every person I have ever known to start taking anti-depressants began acting completely insane. They are usually women.

I've noticed that right when they start taking them, they seem to lose all empathy, and they are liable to do or say absolutely anything. Also, my cousin tried jumping out of a moving car when he started taking anti-depressants.

bump

My wife's cousin has been taking them for decades and she was pretty crazy when I first met her about 5 years ago and has progressively become more and more insane over time. She's had multiple suicide attempts and they just kept switching meds or dosages and it just seemed to get worse.

Lately they've started reducing dosages and she's in the best state I've seen her in years.

Any drug used for an extended period of time will drive you insane.

What thought process leads you to believe they were sane before taking them?

I had a female friend who I had known for maybe 5 years. We had traveled together and had a thing on and off.

I made a facebook post explaining that I was attacked by a mob at a Trump rally, and she commented "YOU SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED IT, TRUMP IS DISGUSTING" and a bunch of other frantic shit. Seemed really unlike her, really insane and unhinged. So I just deleted her and decided maybe she had Trump derrangement syndrome.

Sure enough, I find out she actually had (((depression))) and she had been trying different (((anti-depressants))) around that time.

Every woman I've ever known who took anti-depressants completely changed. Their eyes even look fucked up, like they are soulless or something.

Shit is definitely fucked

I wouldn't take them.

user, I've been on paxil, prozac, lexapro, and effexor. I've been drinking tonight so I'll admit this. These drugs have never helped me. They've only ever pushed me farther from reality.....which is weird when you think about it. Yet to tell you the truth. Xanax has only ever helped...hope this helps.

Most of the people I had known who took them were pretty normal before taking them. They at least were able to behave well in public and act like a normal person.

Every time they start taking them, they just become unhinged. They say start saying weird shit, start acting extremely fake, and I've also noticed a pattern where they start taking them and begin cheating on their significant others?

My theory is that that anti-depressants fucks with your empathy and removes your general filter.

I can confirm this.

Most my family.

If you're a man, your anti depression drug routine is:
Caffeine
Creatine
Multi vitamins
(occasional) Marijuana

Avoid alcohol, use marijuana instead.

I was on some for about a year. I tried 3 different kinds. The 2nd one made me yawn a lot. That's pretty much all any of them did.

Is there anything that happened in your life that drove you to the point where you needed to take those drugs?

Asking out of curiosity

you burgers are doomed by the pharma jew. i dont know why so many of you take oxy, xanax, meth and the whole other shit. this will fuck up a whole generation of whites

It definitely fucks with your empathy. They honestly just remove your emotions. The consequence is that you forget how to respond to anything correctly in an emotional sense. They leave you completely numb and robotic, dying just to feel something. It is easy to take things to far in this state. Sometimes they also give you more energy with which to satisfy this craving for feeling, amplifying the problem. They make thinking cloudy and dull, visualization becomes difficult, memory is impaired. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Depending on what you take.

Yeah I've researched this and wrote on this topic. It seems that SSRIs tend to result in higher rates of mental illnesses, depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies and the like.

The pharma jew really is a big problem here. Those who are able to overcome it, though, will be all the wiser going forward.

I am taking them for 1.5 years and I have changed for the better. Your acquaintances started acting insane because they got insane. AD helps people, but you need to find the right one that works for you. Losing empathy and self preservation are symptoms of the sickness they were trying to treat, not a side effect of ADs.

Nothing more than just becoming extremely depressed for no reason in my teens. I blame puberty and the chemical imbalance that occurred afterwards.

Fyi.. I've been taking some kind of anti depressant for about 17 years now.

st johns word is as potent as all the ssris that are out there, but with way less side effects, in germany we have a very clear and potent extract that only doctors can prescribe.

It helped me alot with my anxiety caused psychosis i had.

And if you drink regularly alcohol stop, it fucks your brain chemicals up for good.

i took lithium as a teen in the 90s. i had a single crazy night after taking it for about 2 weeks that made me insane. i haven't been the same since.
i saw a beam of light in the middle of my brain and felt that i instantly grabbed and then lost some really important sort of knowledge. that feeling of loss was so profound that i feel it every single day. i know it was just a trick of brain chemistry, but yeah that shit fucks you up.

This pham.

I already have no empathy normally lol
wonder if antidepressants would reverse it at all

A fellow bong was saying that many murderers have a history of takings SSRIs, but I've never cared to verify it, and I'm sceptical of anything I hear on this website, of course.

GOV. DOPE!

>Avoid alcohol, use marijuana instead.
Great, swap depression for anxiety and psychosis.
Weed is far worse than booze, especially if you're in the state that leads you to anti-depressant use.

I took antidepressants for a two years. Shit really messes with your mind. Leaves you soulless, mindless zombie, no feelings only semi sad.

Long term you'd lose your grounding in reality

I took it for a year and got off with no side effects. It's probably different for everyone but just remember depression and adhd are made up mental illnesses. Molymeme did a good video on this

medication should always be the last resort, cut my life into pieces, seriously though, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors saved my life

I should add:

Depression and presumably other mental illnesses do take a toll on your brain. Some of the matter in a partciular part of your brain shrivels, or something like that.
And there have been studies done which show that Lithium protects the degradation of the brain. That is, people who were on lithium didn't show as extensive degeneration of the brain matter as people who weren't on it.

So on the one hand I don't like taking medication to sort out psychological problems, because I think the psychological problems are more indicative of some sort of behavioural flaw you have which oughtn't require meds. On the other hand, meds giving some protecting to yuor brain whilst you temporarily go through a mental breakdown or whatever isn't a bad thing.

Were you using any other drugs at or around the time?

And you should be until you do follwo up research which I've been at Sup Forums for over 11 years.

MOST THIS SHIT IS TRUE. YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THOSE CARTELLS DO TO PEOPLE TILL YOU SEE IT FIRST HAND RIGHT? UNLESS YOU'RE JUST AS FUCKED UP AS THEM. YOU WOULD NEVER BELIEVE IT BECAUSE THE MEDIA (ran by kikes from Russia to the USA) HIDES IT ALL! THEY WILL CONTINUE THE NIGGER LOVE IN WHITE NATIONS BECAUSE IT IS A FORM OF GENOCIDE AND ANTI WHITE. NIGGERS LOVE TO LAUGH NOW. I WILL HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU NIGGERS WHEN YOU'RE CRYING LATER!

>Weed is far worse than booze
Well that's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.

It lowers your anxiety level, which is exactly what it is designed to do. Taking ADs is not to be better accepted by you, it is to be able to sleep every night, get rid of obsessive thoughts, panick attacks and be able to function like a human being. There are a lot of people who think that ADs make you feel less sad. This is not the case, they were not designed for that. If people never had any imparing symptoms from above they should not take ADs. It will not help them and could induce manic episodes instead, which seems to be close to what you are describing. Just accept that some people have cancer and die after 6 months. Some people have depression and without treatment die after 6 months. We are insanely lucky that there is a way to keep us around beyond our natural expiration date, whatever the cost. Appreciate this time that you have with the sick and insane people around you, life can end at any moment and you don't want to end up being miserable and judgemental in your last moments, do you?

i tried antidepressants
they fuck you up

Anxiety only activates if you have bipolar instead of depression, in which case you manage manic periods by meditation. Depression is a serious illness and the vitamin b depletion caused by alcohol makes it a bad recreational drug for depressives.

Creatine will also give you anxiety if you have bipolar, it will also make your depression easier to manage (much, much more than ssris) but will cause hair growth and aggression in women.

Again, your depression is almost enjoyable and artistic if you take all the drugs I mentioned and avoid more mainstream anti depression medications.

My depression is literally something that makes me write sweet, soft music nowadays. Back in high school, my depression would literally paralyze me, I'm not kidding I had periods that made it hard to move and smiling made my face feel weird.

Real depression exists and it's very treatable.

BUMP!

SAD THE FAGGOT WHO NEVER HAD HERB!

Weed can make you insane for good if you have any mental problems, booze will just make you feel better and kill your liver. One of my biggest anxiety and panic episodes was induced by weed-related depersonalization. I could fight off the feeling only after half a year or so.

>not laughing at your depressed faggot "friends" after they jump in front of a train due to (((depression)))

Come on user this is Sup Forums

I started antidepressants (effexor) a few months ago.
Main effects are I'm not tired all the time, I don't have headaches anymore and I can concentrate. Maybe a bit more spontaneous but nothing crazy.

>Weed is far worse than booze, especially if you're in the state that leads you to anti-depressant use

Maybe you didn't have anything? It's easier to believe the global pharma conspiracy.

>tfw got off zoloft about 5 weeks ago
Feels good. I felt like absolute shit the first 1-2 weeks. Angry as fuck, emotions all over the place, dizzy as fuck, constantly felt like puking. It was awful. It feels good knowing that I'm not a slave to medication now though. I was on it for about 5 years.

I met a guy last year, who told me he was on anti- depressants since he was 16 he's 65 now, but looks like he's 85. It was a sad thing man, he told me he had just quit 6 months prior to when I met him.

Yea a few years after I moved out one of my younger sisters started acting like a dumb teenager and all the attention seeking drama that comes with it and instead of calling her on her dumb shit my mom threw her into a nuthut that gave her antidepressants after letting her go
Now she claims shes a boy and genderfluid or whatever the fuck and I shit all over her for it

I don't even know how you guys manage to get on these drugs. I haven't even seen a doctor in like 7 years lol
Do you guys just hang around your doctors office all day whining?

My aunt started doing antidepressants

It started normal, just the recommended amount.

Then, the addiction took over, she started doing more pills than she should have.

And then, the addiction was completely ruling her life.

Euphoric when on pills, suicidal when off the pills.

Then she couldn't walk so good. Then she couldn't drive so good.

She used to say : "I'm ashamed of what I've become. I can't even drive anymore"

Then she swallowed pills and we all thought it was like an S.O.S. and that she didn't really want to end it all.

Then one day, we all had to go to her house because she had been found by her husband. Hanged herself in her room.

She left two childs and a husband. The husband found her, all white, hanging from her neck. He will never be the same.

France is the #1 anti depressants country in Europe.

Fucking jewish doctors killing my people and my family.

Sieg Heil for ever.

A lot of school shooters used antidepressants before they An Hero'd.

So many Normies in this thread. I started talking Escitalopram a year ago and it's the best thing I've ever done. Before that I was afraid to pick up the phone or to go outside.
Still don't have any friends or anything like that but at least I can do thing now

fuck off, your aunt was a Normie. The biggest mistake doctors make is to prescribe antidepressants to Normies. They can't handle losing some emotional capability

All of the comfiest socialist countries in Europe are also the biggest consumers of anti-depressants.

Oh look it's yet another thread on Sup Forums where people think antidepressants are a magic pill that should make all your problems disappear and if they don't they're a huge jewish scam or some shit

>"hurr durr i took these pills for three years and they didn't do shit"
You're the one that needs to do shit, the antidepressants just help you be in a better position to do shit
>hurr durr they have side effects
Pretty much everything has side effects, if you used the ounce of brain you have left you could have figured out that taking 30 minutes extra to cum was an ok payoff for being able to start fixing your mess of a life

Bonus points for retards going for antidepressants but never setting foot at a psychologist's office for some therapy
Bonus points for retards drinking alcohol often while on antidepressants, fucking up their effects

You can lose empathy.

Excessive empathy is part of what is making you depressed. You are worried about what your family thinks and keeping everyone in your life happy.

The Anti-depressant helps make you not care so much, so you aren'y being dragged down by the guilt inducing empathy.

Not sure about the jumping out of a car part.

He's right. Weed is fucking degenerate as fuck and turns people in paranoid layabouts.

To be fair, this election made people absolutely crazy and act completely out of character. Everyone reverted to some animal mentality and we are now trying to recover from it. Some of the most bizarre shit I've ever seen. I had people I was actually close to in high school straight up tell me I'm personally killing gays, blacks, and trans kids. I've been told that I'm a racist by people that KNOW I'm not a racist. People just collectively lost their fucking minds.

except that antidepressants have to be used for an extended period of time to be effective

I don't know why, though.

Well, hello there Mr. Soros.

all sorts of medications are advertised on tv in burgerland, they have a pill for any fuking thing can think of.
people just need to eat right and thats it.
and not get addicted to drugs or alcohol and always wear protection

Your retarded aunt killed herself by taking more than she was prescribed and being retarded.
Don't blame the doctors for her own stupidity.

>>I've noticed that right when they start taking them, they seem to lose all empathy, and they are liable to do or say absolutely anything.
What do you think they're supposed to do? That's literally their purpose. A person is "depressed" when they do something shitty, or they have a shitty life. Anti-depressants make you ignore this feeling and instead of trying to be a decent person or improving your life, you just end up being ok with everything that you do no matter how terrible it is.

Similar story from my ex-wife. She said they were good at not making her care about stuff up to the point where she had giant slash mark scars up her arms (result of some drug fueled episode with her cousin)

this

had a talk with my doctor last time, she told me about the massive influx of anxiety and psychosis related to marijuana use she gets nowadays, and the close link between depression and daily marijuana use.

sounds like you did it cold turkey, not good

Anti Depressants are 100% bullshit. They never helped anyone and never will. Pills are just a mass-control tool pushed by Jews.

Doctors who sell pills are accomplices in the mass control of Europe.

That's not even true, they start having immediate effects. Which means you can start to get off your ass and start fixing your life as soon as you start taking them.
If you just sit there and jerk off while you expect the pills to do all the work you're in for a rude awakening.

Not sure, many theories probably. Maybe socialism is too constraining, maybe it brings in nihilism, maybe people are too comfortable, maybe these countries are more trusting of anti-depressants due to groupthink and stuff like that.

I took anti depressants for about 5 months back in 2014.

> see shrink
> discuss existential philosophy with shrink
> get prescribed citalopram
> take it only when stress at work reaches critical mass
> not much of a difference
> meh
I have anxiety, not depression. But anit depressants didn't do to much for me.

Why post a picture of fucking pills?! im trying to quite right now this does not help!

They just made me gain 60lb.

They helped me massively because I'm not a worthless retard that expects the medication to fix their life for them.

SSRIs don't work like that....

I don't understand depression and what would drive people to pop pills for feeling sad.
With that said, my good friend came to me and explained he had depression and sometimes couldn't even physically move. He's got a good woman, good job, nice place, close to havibg kids. I envy how ahead he is in life, but he comes to me and drops this on me and that he's starting to take meds. He says his job is nice, his woman is great and everything is awesome, but like some outer force is fucking with him, I don't know what to think of it.
What are people sad/scared of? Does taking them like an upper or downer? What it feel like? Is this shit giving like artificial emotions or some shit? I wanna understand all this better and possibly help my buddy out.

It's mostly because it's easier and free to get family doctors and drugs are free usually

I'm on anti-depressants and they essentially made me a Right winger.

>try antidepressants
>side effects include suicidal tendencies
>try to run in to traffic

Great stuff antidepressants. Stopped using them and I'm still depressed but no longer suicidal.

Anti-depressants main function is to kill empathy, yes. This, along with the orchestrated invasion of Europe, is part of the White Elite's plan to manufacture consent for Global genocide of nogs and low IQ human scum. This low IQ shit skin scum are OUT DATED, and inefficient. Their consumption of resource and their cost to society via crime and welfare are the main obstacles holding back the human race from exploiting space and settling extra-terrestrial worlds like mars etc. So the ELITES knowing the superior whites lack of inclination toward mindless unjustified violence, must produce enough of a motivational PROD to the white race, an existential threat via immigration, being out populated, and persecuted by nig nog religions like Islam, being the main arc on the cattle prod. It is called MANUFACTURING CONSENT and is being carried out flawlessly with the afro-muslim invasion of europe, along with the election of trump and the rise of far-right elements. All white and East asiatics are preparing themselves for a war of genocide against the nig nogs/blacks/muslims. We will then divvy up the natural resources of the middle east and africa, exploiting them to launch the human race into a space faring civilization.

>degenerate as fuck
that is Sup Forums's only argument about weed
what's the fucking difference between smoking weed and not smoking weed for the average american?
do you think the average person does anything more than watch tv, play video games, and browse the internet?
that's all most people do with or without weed

doctors are over prescribing them, just like the opiates. they are making people psychotic because they are not depressed. that's probably what's behind these idiots chopping their dicks off and dying their hair blue yellow and pink and getting into fights with skinheads and armed rednecks.

And here we have yet another retard that thinks taking antidepressants is like taking an asiprin when your head hurts.
You're supposed to take them every day because the effects can take up to a week to start and if you are not consistent with the intake you're basically wasting your time.

are anti depressants controlled by the jews??

>People collectively lost their minds

Was it because we were at a cross-roads in Western culture and whoever got elected was going to determine the direction we were going to head in culturally?

I noticed Trump triggered a LOT of women. Like his cartoonish macho antics seemed to make their brains short-circuit. Not sure if Trump triggers daddy issues, or "toxic masculinity", or maybe Trump reminds them that extreme masculinity will always win? Maybe that makes them feel inferior?

Maybe women preferred the feminized society where even our male presidents acted like women (Obama). Because even republican women I know absolutely fucking hated Trump.

Placebo. Already I consider you a weak human being because you had to take them in the first place, so your opinion is discarded.

But if you made it, you would have made it even without them. People back days had 0 pills and they didn't kill themselves all day. In fact, suicides are higher right now and pills are doing nothing to help, it's even the opposite.

So, yes, you are a worthless retard. Before you respond : "A lot less than your aunt", well maybe. I didn't like her when she was alive and I considered her a subhuman. You're just a higher subhuman.

It's a neurochemical imbalance, nothing logical about it.

Inability to experience pleasure, from anything, is a symptom.

I don't think you remember the endless propaganda that's been shoved down our throats for the last century or so.
People honestly believe if you smoke marijuana, all of your hopes and dreams will go up in smoke because it turn you into a lazy quitter.
That's bullshit though because there's lots of rich and successful people who smoke weed all of the time.

I took antidepressents for about a year or two, I felt I was getting stupider so I stopped, and stopped going to the psychiatrist too.

I am scared it's permanent

Antidepressants basically sedate you so you wont kill yourself or others, and the doctors can wash their hands, that's all they do

>That's bullshit though because there's lots of rich and successful people who smoke weed all of the time.

Prove it.

No, literally not placebo. You have no clue what you are talking about.
Either it's placebo and they didn't help me, or they're not placebo and they're the reason your aunt killed herself.

You are an utter fucking moron. Am I a weak human being for taking painkillers if I break my leg? You just have no idea what you're talking about, as is usual on this board.

Antidepressants will help if you are not a braindead normie that expects the pills to solve their life for them, they are just there to give you the little push you need to start doing things and fixing your life.

>I've noticed that right when they start taking them, they seem to lose all empathy, and they are liable to do or say absolutely anything.
That's because anti-depressants are actually anti-emotions. You genuinely stop caring about absolutely everything -- not in an edgy teenage "I hate the world" emo kind of way. You literally stop feeling feelings.

If you stop taking them they start making your feelings too feely and you're liable to do all sorts of crazy shit.. you also get some pretty shitty physical side effects which depend on which medication you were taking but the standard ones are intense nausea, frequent headaches, vertigo, lethargy, that sort of thing.

This is kinda how I feel.

I was somewhat abused as a child with an extremely psychotic dad who went to jail twice. Also lived in a motel with my mother, then got bulled in grade school.

I'm generally pretty happy, but I'm successful-ish too.

Even at my lowest, I never imagined taking anti-depressants. That just seems weird.

SSRIs do that.

Older antidepressants, like MAOIs actually help, because they were invented when medicine wasn't run by drug companies.

I'm not even gonna waste my time throwing pearls before swine.
Make sure you top off the wiper fluid with that bottle of 10W-30 you fucking drop out.

has anyone tried to cure their depression with anti-inflammatory diet???

What kind of strawman is this? Literally just asking for proof of your very dubious claim, lol.

If someone goes "insane" from anti depressants they probably weren't depressed in the first place.

>mfw the elites are trying to b8 the whites into genociding the inferior races

Lmfao holy shit this is a good one. I'll remember this one

I didn't. I took half a dose every day for a week, then the next week every other day. Not perfect, but it wasn't cold turkey. Shit still fucked me up.

Like antioxidents and PUFAs? They're supposed to help quite a bit.
I know supplements like fish oil, astaxanthin, and Resveratrol have been researched for depression

You've made nothing but dubious claims. And don't think changing your IP doesn't mean I don't see what you're doing you faggot ass cum guzzler.
Fuck outta here queer.
