Ohhhh now it makes sense

It's not that they don't care what's happening to them, it's just that they are so drugged up they are on cloud nine all the time. They see the migrants, they see the crimes, but their senses tell them they feel good, programming their brains to associate "diversity" with a good feeling no matter what.

>implying the jews aren't trying to turn us into robotic mindless zombies with SSRI's

Where does the US fall on that chart

I'm under SSRIs and my senses aren't telling me any of that. If anything they just keep me from just laying around in bed all day crippled by anxiety.

Besides before making projections and retarded parallels towards others, what ARE you doing outside of shitposting in an echo chamber ?

>SSRIs
>Muh echo chamber
>What are YOU doing?
Leftist commy cuck detected

I know SSRIs are the easy way out and come with a myriad of sides, but I often wonder if maybe they would end my suffering finally. Some days I feel relatively decent, but on some days I feel extremely anxious. Few years ago I completely shut down from society and couldn't talk to strangers. It got way better.

So what are your thoughts, anons? Should I reconsider SSRIs or should I continue on the harsh path of self development? I'm sure I'm not living up to my potential because of severe anxiety.

>he doesn't agree with my """""arguments""""" !
>must be a lefty commy cuck soyboy insert buzzword here

hmmm

Depends. If you're functional on a daily basis and if your anxiety doesn't take an unnecessary amount of energy you don't need them.

Really, if it "got way better" naturally, keep it that way.

Are you able to ejaculate or has your ability to ejaculate been impaired in any way from the SSRIs?

It's the other way around retard. Cultural degeneracy causes depression, and the more degenerate cultures are obviously going to be the most depressed. You clearly know nothing about antidepressants if you think they "brainwash" you or something, that's tinfoil tier. There are also other factors that change rate of antidepressants prescribed. South Korea is clearly the most degenerate and depressed country in the world, but the meds are given out as much for social and economic reasons.

What causes degeneracy is Jewish control of the cultural elite, which defines the status quo.

SSRIs fucked me up. I'm not the same person I used to be. Real me would be in bed crying over the state of the world. I also lost my drive and can't feel happiness as much as I used to. /x/ says SSRIs can open you up to demonic possession, so maybe I'm a demon talking to you and real me is trapped in some prison in the back of my mind. Oh well, I just thought you should know I regret going on them.

Self-development cures anxiety and depression, it’s just a question of how far you have to go to get there. Start by doing bodyweight exercises or just push-ups and sit-ups to get your body back together; healthy bodies beget healthy minds. Stop eating toxic shit. Take vitamins. That’ll get you on enough of an even keel to tackle to larger things.

That explains a lot of behavior here, except for why the Icelandic niggers aren't shitposting as abhorrently as those faggy lisping leaf cocksuckers.

The US is clearly way off the chart HAHAHAHAHAHA... sorry ill get my coat

>>
Same for me, shut in who has no connection to the outside world beside uni and parents, what helped was lifting and nature walks and lots of learning to forget my miserable self, but knowing that this shit could fry your brain permanently is what keeps me away from psychiatrists and GPs because I know that me feeling bad about myself is not cured by taking pills, but by working on myself. Dont fall for it, you have to change yourself, you feel like this because your brain is responding to something that is shit about yourself eliminating this feeling is not a progress its a nice "if I ignore it maybe things will fix themself alone" (which obviously wont happen if you are unaware of them).

I'm still able to ejaculate. My libido is exactly the same as before. But i'm taking low dosages.

I started to feel less depressed when I stopped taking anti depressants
I had depression about mid 2012 to mid 2013 and I stopped taking the anti depressants and I gradually went from depressed to neutral. I think I was depressed because I was unfit and unhealthy and spent 4hours every day playing video games and my mum never assumed that was why I was depressed

>I also lost my drive and can't feel happiness as much as I used to

No, you probably valued happiness (dopamine surges) more because you were discontent (low serotonin). It is better to be content than happy, the pursuit of happiness is hedonism and individualism, the pursuit of contentedness is communitarianism and traditionalism.

It’s a vicious cycle, too. The most degenerate cultures get the most depressed so they have the most people drugging themselves to escape meaning they aren’t trying to fix their culture meaning it degenerates further, etc. etc. etc.

Bbbbb but muh no more smoking ssri ??
Lung cancer = better than crazy
WTF . Where's "MY" Waifu Prozac Princess ?

>It's the other way around retard. Cultural degeneracy causes depression, and the more degenerate cultures are obviously going to be the most depressed.

Basically.

And the more the general quality of life decrease in a city / country (read : immigration = expatriates, salarial dumping, crowded housing market, loss of cultural identity, decrease in both general intelligence and culture) the more mental illnesses become more and more prevalent.

If you're intelligent, the modern world should be depressing as fuck, but the answer isn't taking good goy pills. We should recognize the source of that depression and make the world a better place for our descendants.

Good for you, my experience was not as good. I could pound my gf for hours without even coming close. I still had high urge level, i just didnt cum
same here, i felt completely derailed by them. took me about a year to recover (back to pre-medicated level). lifting and getting a physically heavy construction job saved me

Also, make sure you’re drinking enough water. Aim for eight full glasses spaced evenly throughout the day

>/x/ says

Quit this bullshit you impressionable fag. Ancient alien theorists say: "you're dumb".

> I also lost my drive and can't feel happiness

The drug isn't a happiness pill, it's just leveling everything out. This is why it's bad. Your problems aren't addressed at all by medication, it was never designed to be a solution and this "keep people on meds forever" is just absolute fucking insanity.

If you don't have a therapeutic plan to solve your problems you're not doing jack shit about your depression. If you can't get motivated to do anything about your problems, get off the fucking SSRI. Don't stop cold turkey because the fucking things can induce suidical depression states.

what the fuck?
80 90 even 100 people out of 1000 on legal drugs all the time

Fuck that jew pharma shit.. I go right for the raw form of prions.. its prions or nothing for me.

Now excuse me while I stir my fava beans and uncork my nice chianti.

>We
There's no 'we' in my world. I would gas every single human including all Sup Forumsacks. It would be only me and a army of AI sexbots.

>most people drugging themselves to escape

You make the same mistake as OP here. Yes antidepressants will cause false contentedness, however depressed people can't get anything done. The problem isn't antidepressants, it's still the fact that the Jewish cultural elite are pushing degenerate narratives. Antidepressants don't change the way people think, when white people wake up to the problem of liberalism, we will take our society back.

The real vicious cycle is closer to what this guy describes:
and anti-depressants can be instrumental in helping us break it. Maybe the roman empire would have never collapsed if they had access to modern medicine.

lmao Europe is dead

Americans take more anti-depressants than any country in the world so don't laugh too hard.

about 56% behind all the other countries

Why are aussie-bros so sad? You got weird animals, cheese fries, the guiding light of the emu overlords, all in all sounds like a pretty good situation.

I'm fit as fuck. It definitely helped. As I said, I was a literal mess not capable of functioning. I kind of got better through development, but it takes so much damn time.
I'm still an anxious mess, but what I found out that facing your fears makes you better. Bit by bit. But it takes time and extreme willpower. Anyway, I'm even considering just jumping head on into deep water by going to Germany and steal your job opportunities.

My pops takes SSRIs and they definitely aren't all they're made to be. They stop working after few years and you need a new mix. Also they definitely change your personality.

That's what happens when you have 300+ million people in a country. Per person the usage is higher in order their countries.

We should be prescribing Amphetamines instead of SSRIs but Oy Vey wouldn't want the patient to get better via actually interacting and learning to rewire their brain against depression and anxiety. Switzerland still has some cases where they have but ampheds have been completely removed for that purpose since people go to crazy back in the 50s/60s

>2013
Anyone have statistics that aren't 5 years old? I want to know if they've gone up or down, or if getting Trump in caused us to jump up.

Not true. I don't know why that graph didn't include the U.S., but we take even more anti-depressants than Iceland.

Disgusting.

I was watching a documentary a few weeks ago and it listed Denmark as the 3rd biggest consumer of fentanyl (I think it was fentanyl) per capita. Very alarming stuff.

This. I was depressed for years and all my worthless leftist friends, parents, and a ((therapist)) tried to get me on ssri's and were always telling me that I had to learn to love myself and lower my standards for myself and the world so I would be content with things the way they were.
I'm so glad I didn't, just worked on myself and developed skills and mental stability and now I'm finally not depressed. I told them for years what if I'm depressed because I'm pathetic and I should feel bad about myself and they just gave me the muh brain chemistry line. Of those friends one is a depressed tranny now and one works at wendys at 24. Depression is your body's way of telling you you're on the wrong path and you need to change your life

businessinsider.com/countries-largest-antidepressant-drug-users-2016-2

U.S. is #1

This is not true, amphs address dopamine and not serotonin. Depressed people would just start abusing them like they would any other drug if you prescribed them.

I agree that stims should be widely prescribed at low doses to increase productivity. Or at least to mentally healthy people with low addiction risk.

Don't fall for the Jewish trap

You are a piece of shit and retarded. It says FOR THE WORLD and PER 1,000.

Hmmmmmmm

It's going to be OK user. Come live in the United States if you want to experience daily thrills.

>what is per capita

they do affect serotonin, but if you got shit real bad, combo ampeds with a GABAb stim like phenibut.

...

The graph clearly says "number of people per 1,000 who take anti-depressants". That's "per capita" whether you accept it or not. I didn't think basic statistics would be so hard for Sup Forumsacks.

I'll add on to this, microdosing on psychoactive substances such as psilocybin while using ampheds might also be very effective

this sort of thing makes me wanna ditch the world and move to a quiet place like serbia, sure there were wars and such but I imagine it to be rather chill in the last decade and will continue thusly. let's all live in nikola telsa's homeland. ..

Thanks for the (You)s faggots

I believe the US was ranked 1st and Canada 2nd.

DO NOT TAKE SSRI'S

THEY ARE WORTHLESS AND WILL DESTROY YOU

I USED TO DO THEM

I DID NOT NEED THEM

NEITHER DO YOU

YOU ARE NOT AS DEPRESSED AS THEY SAY YOU ARE

WEAN OFF OF THEM AND BECOME A HUMAN BEING AGAIN

Amphetamine has a relatively negligible effect on the serotonin system compared to it's dopamine surge, meaning depressed people are more likely to abuse that not abuse (unless their depression is being caused by a dopamine dysregulation, which I also think is underdiagnosed). IIRC meth actually has a better serotonin effect but it's highly neurotoxic.

I think anything along the lines of phenibut, gabapentin, benzos, etc. should be completely avoided unless you have debilitating physical symptoms of anxiety. They degrade cognitive abilities, lower productivity, and cause physical dependence making it difficult to stop taking it even if you're not addicted, which is also a common outcome even for non-depressed people

And this is basically anti-science hippie psychology, about as mature as saying "heey maaaan if the whole world just dropped acid for a day there'd be no more wars and shit." No psychedelic drug has medical benefit, this is well documented.

>I could pound my gf for hours without even coming close. I still had high urge level, i just didnt cum

God that shit was horrible.

Get off of the pharmaceutical jew.

This. Good goy pills won't fix it.

It's not that they are sad.. It's recreational.

Until you pop a xanax, viagra and go on a 3 day fumin binge you haven't lived.. the dreamtime .. it calls to me...

Hahah fucking depressive brothers why cant you just enjoy your life like us norwegian

It's their stupid gun laws. Going to the range to shoot up a couple hundred rounds cheers a person up. Happiness is a warm gun.

>meth actually has a better serotonin effect but it's highly neurotoxic.
right, I almost forgot about that

>They degrade cognitive abilities, lower productivity, and cause physical dependence making it difficult to stop taking it even if you're not addicted, which is also a common outcome even for non-depressed people
Phenibut doesn't really affect GABAa receptors but I agree with your point on benzos and other drugs. the downside of tolerance building is extremely bad and chance of physical dependence.

>No psychedelic drug has medical benefit, this is well documented.
Have you read some of the recent studies regarding these drugs and their resultant effect on specific portions of the brain as well as neurotransmitter function? I also was talking about the latest hot meme (microdosing) not taking a visually perceptible dosage.

I'm happy there is someone on Sup Forums right now educated on basic neuroscience and drugs right now.
What's your opinion on trying to solve the growing depression/anxiety epidemic? Also how about the increase in stress and symptoms mirroring depression due to modern over-stimulation?

Cause ypu guys jist use heroin instead of ssri drugs.

Yeah the 5% drugged retards surely fuck up the whole country

To amend this I refuse to touch LSD and anything to do with it. CIA glowinthedarkniggershit. But I have been reading up about current findings about shrooms.

newatlas.com/johns-hopkins-psilocybin-study-finds-optimum-beneficial-dosage/18981/

I tried them for 2 months. Sertraline? Firstly, I sweat like fuck. My palms were wet all the time.
I felt endlessly on the cusp of something awesome. Like the 10 minute tingly window before the E kicks in properly. Ejaculation was becoming harder every week, enough to worry me enough to google it.
By the end of the second month I was returning to normality, the tingle & sweating subsided but with a +2 for general mood. I decided to stop taking them because the 'intrusive thoughts' were fucked up. If you see a security guard coming out of a bank with a suitcase, you might absently think about stabbing him & escaping into the sunset, much like you'd imagine walking over to some hot babe in a shop & shagging her right there & then. Random bullshit, such as walking past an empty car with the engine running.
On Sertraline the fantasies didn't end after a few seconds, they carried on & went into minute detail. I'd never kill/steal/rape anyone, so I was quite worried that if I was thinking this differently after 2 months, how would normal look after 2 years.
Anyway, I became a committed National Socialist & everything made perfect sense so all my neuroses evaporated. overnight.

Just do the heroic dose 5grm dried taken alone, on an empty stomach, in silent darkness and with eyes closed.

OH oh, also, japan is currently scientifically aided the theory of moving away from societies natural structure has bad effects for happiness and stress

qz.com/804022/health-benefits-japanese-forest-bathing/

I have done medium dosages of shrooms and enjoyed the stimulating and slightly wavy effects. I also kind of politically sounded off my friend for a while and it really brought out the radical in me. It was weird. I analyzed myself while I was talking and connected the dots of some of my own political theories.

I am not too keen on the concept of ego death.

>He captured my favourite trick!

I love how canada, australia, and the nordic countries are always ranked by liberal humanist orgs as the happiest and having the highest quality of life but literally take antidepressants at the highest rates

>Phenibut doesn't really affect GABAa receptors

I have no idea how phenibut works, and know little about how benzos work, but anecdotally everyone I knew who took it for "social anxiety" wound up moving onto benzo abuse

>Have you read some of the recent studies regarding these drugs and their resultant effect on specific portions of the brain as well as neurotransmitter function

No, and I am extremely skeptical of anyone who reports that they are generally beneficial, either from microdosing or tripping, since I think that it degrades cognitive ability significantly. LSD and other psychedelics were studied extensively in the 50s and they were uniformly agreed to be bad. I think MDMA maybe has potential as therapeutic drug though, that one never really got a fair shake.

Oh okay now we are more on the same page. Shrooms were not studied extensively and I'd be more open to them because they're "natural." Anecdotally though they seem to have a high rate of causing anxiety, a lot of people I know say that it caused panic attacks while tripping or even a chronic anxiety disorder. But it doesn't seem to make you as retarded as repeated LSD use does.

In general though I think it would be better to continue to develop new drugs rather than waste time studying risky substances that have at best dubious benefits

Iceland jailed the bankers and only have one rabbi in the whole country. It's also nearly 100 percent white

at the top, no surprise.

Phenibut is not far removed from Pregabalin, makes you way more horny though

both (and GHB/GBL) are fucking terrible to get addicted to


youtu.be/8fc8sXWopBs

Pregabalin is Lyrica right? I didn't know that had any abuse potential, I just associated that with those goofy commercials targeting old people

I am not sure if these statistics in this thread are including people who are on medicine for anxiety. They're two different things, of course. But they get mixed up by a lot of people, including many in this thread.

Intelligent people tend to be more depressive because they are more objective and have a less distorted view of their situation.

More like analytically-minded people tend to be more depressive because prolonged skepticism indirectly promotes pessimism. This can be easily fixed with faith and a prosocial community, not necessarily religious.

But here's the case for religion anyway: psy.miami.edu/faculty/mmccullough/Papers/Relig_self_control_bulletin.pdf

this is bullshit advice

the eight glasses a day meme comes from US army studies on how much men needed doing labour in Desert warfare conditions, so they knew ho much they had to supply.

eight glasses a day for a normal person can seriously fuck up their kidneys and cause hypertension and even dizziness from over dilution of the blood.

I've drank massively more than eight glasses of water per day since I was like 12, is my kidney degenerate now?

That's what I expected. Iceland being so high is mind boggling, though. It's a peaceful, homogeneous island.

...

we drink when we are sad

Anybody who has lived here for a reasonable amount of time would know that most people here have empty and miserable lives. The happiness is just a cover that we try to convince ourselves is legit and foreigners can't see through our disguises.
You may be right about the quality of life thing, but that doesn't mean shit when we're all miserable.
