Never take them for more than a couple months

Shit will fuck your body up long term

A jewish trick to fuck up the population and profit

>prozac=fluoride
Just drink more water.

the crazy side effects are not worth the risk

i'd just smoke opium or something for anxiety/depression before i ever touched any of that type of shit

If a human has a biological, uncontrollable basis for their mental and behavioral disorders they need medical intervention like any other disease. If a human has no biological, uncontrollable basis for their disorders they ought to receive nothing beyond cognitive behavioral therapy. That's science, faggots.

There are people who are genuinely mentally ill that benefit from drugs. They are vastly overprescribing them though. A lot of mental problems have to do with people being fat, lazy city dwellers.

They mess up your memory and attention span. The year I took them for and a lot of the time before is a complete blur.

just take your soma and watch the feelies

What about in cases of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia? Does rigidity and drooling beat severe auditory and visual hallucinations and zero ability to contribute to society?

Is Prozac still prescribed? I thought it fell out of use. I remember it it being heavily prescribed back in the 90s, along with Zoloft.

I take phenibut occasionally. It makes me a dick. I like it.

Yes, but other SSRI's seem to be preferred.

Using drugs to fight made up depression only makes it easier for you to get made up depression again.

Causing a easy cycle of sustainable income for drug companies.

Personally, I think if someone genuinely suffers from a mental disorder, then medical treatment can be beneficial. For those who suffer from depression due to circumstances that can be worked out, dealing with those circumstances proactively sans medication would be more beneficial and even personally gratifying.

100% this.

I take this stuff daily to try and cope with it all. Dunno if it helps any...

if the choice was between ssri or schizophrenia i would choose the ssri but i can't properly make a decision without knowing what alternatives could help. I don't like that doctors will hand them out for basically anything without even warning the patient of the side effects, patients trust doctors to do the right thing by them and i know a lot of people who will just take whatever is handed to them by a doctor without looking any further into it

It falls upon psychiatrists to practice responsibly -- which all of them are trained to do. It's not the COMPLETE responsibility of a patient to do what their physician instructs them to because medical personnel are supposed to themselves be the consultants. Otherwise you're exactly right.

Toxic shit that doesn’t help to cope with your problems most of the times. All it really does is making laboratories rich.
