Of course they "help" they put you in a dreamlike state. You're no longer in reality so you don't have to deal with reality. You might as well be dead if you're on them.
I cut off everyone who takes them in my personal life, that person died.
Anthony Long
They help some people and don’t help others. If you think it’ll help try them and if it doesn’t work tell the doc and be open to trying other things. Some people here will tell you retarded shit about antidepressants being a tool of the Illuminati or some shit. Simply rediculous. Just be careful about who you let influence you.

If you're depressed you need to change your life, not take pills
stop pissing drugs and letting them leech into the ground. They don't fucking go away once you put them back into the world via your toilet

Get off it with this shit. Some antidepressants especially ssri’s make you last forever in bed but it isn’t really numb. Hell a low Rosen of Prozac is a legit treatment for premature ejaculation.
Anyways if you’re that worried about your genitals ask for buproprion/Wellbutrin which makes you a little horny and doesn’t affect your sexual stamina at all.
Logan Moore

my gf started on SSRI a month ago, she is more stable, not as moody, but patient and content. still on diet, no weight gain or reduced sex drive yet. only negative thing so far is that she is a lot more sleepy when she gets tired and sleeps a bit longer.

You'd probably get better results with prayer/meditation (calming your mind and reflecting on your life) and some weed, just don't become a stereotypical stoner.

Lexapro made me manic for 4 days. i was rolling harder than the time i did a quarter gram of MDMA.
got the doc to write an emergency script of klonopin on a saturday over the phone tho so it was worth it.

>you're depressed you need to change your life
People say this shit all the time but here’s a real red pill, buckos: how you behave and act is largely if not entirely determined by your neurology. Your brain and it’s particular quirks have more to do with how you feel and act than anyone on here wants to admit.
You can’t tell a schizophrenic in an episode to just: “change you life bruh”, or tell a bipolar person in an episode “bruh just lift weights and eat better”. Neurology matters. It’s why some people really do need antidepressants or mood stabilizers etc

They're dangerous but there are some people whose lives are so bad that they're willing to try anything. If they can find something that helps, well then good.
It would be great if people were more open about their possible connection to shootings though. If people were honest about it, then maybe they could identify which individuals should never take which drugs.

Fluoxetine, or Prozac, tends to be safe & effective, however, as all medicines, it has its side effects. Ask your doctor, not Sup Forums.
Jordan Bell
They got me out of a jam, but they numb you from reality and I really can't remember the period I was on them. Haven't felt "normal" since. Avoid at all costs.
Cooper Hughes
Mirtazapine detected. Would have said fluoxetine if a patient didn't say the exact same thing to me.
Jace Campbell
These drugs fucking suck. They are basically reverse viagra and on a high enough dose you won't feel sad at all, but you sure as fuck won't feel happy either. You will just be there. It caused me to lack motivation because you just don't give a fuck about anything or the consequences.
If you are suicidal then feeling nothing over that is a great choice though.
Ian Young
It would be great if people would experiment with other techniques as well. For example, people eat diets loaded with the hormones of other animals. That has an effect on a person. Unfortunately, relatively few people are willing to stop eating the garbage even for just a month to see if it could turn their lives around. To make matters worse, doctors won't even bother recommending a dietary change because they assume patients will reject it out of hand.
Isaiah Morgan
You're talking about worst case scenarios (btw. if you're a schizophrenic, please disregard my weed suggestion, it'll only make it worse for you), but in the last couple of years everyone started popping pills like there's no tomorrow. You're in America, I refuse to believe you haven't witnessed this. Are you going to tell me that all of a sudden we're dealing with an entire generation or two with neurological issues? How would that even make sense?
Jordan Robinson
At least sleep is good for you.
Justin Harris
Take 5-HTP (precursor of Serotonin) in the evening to aid sleep, eat good fats (fish, olive oil,..) because most hormones are made from cholesterol, take Vitamin D supplement (Especially during the winter). Exercise.
Justin Russell
>implying you can't change your neurology

Do schitzos take anti-depressants? What did bipolar people do before the phrama jew told you pills are good, goy
Dylan Reed
your probably bipolar then
Brody Jackson
It is necessary for extreme cases. It has helped me but its usefulness stopped where I had to make a real effort to become better.
The key is to stop treating medication as the only solution. In the end, it is up to the patient if he has the will to really want to get better.
I like to think of it as a crutch, used temporarily while rehabilitating. Also, don’t believe some doctors who say you will never be cured. Psychiatry at its current state might seem advanced compared to 50 years ago but it really is still just in its infancy.

I periodically take mertazipine at night, the one that makes you sleep.
I wouldnt really call it an antidepressant, more like a forced dream state where all your crazy shit unloads on you.
Downside is, you occassionally cum in your pants during the night. Potent stuff

bipolar is a scam for people with limited self esteem and control.

Ayden Parker
First I generally think most people are seriously flawed in some way. Secondly some are using it as a bad form of nootropic or social crutch. Literally nobody in my entire family knows I take Wellbutrin besides my wife. But I’ve seen facebag posts being well drama whores about similar drugs.
Generally speaking I don’t think we are children of a perfect god, that we often greatly overestimate our abilities and underestimate our weaknesses. If someone says “dude I need some help” then why the fuck wouldn’t they be given at least a small dose to check it out?
Truth is if there is a neurological basis for behavior, as I think there is, then we could have whole generations of people with a much higher chance of meeting their potential in life m, which is definitely not happening now and is being held back by a “well I don’t bloody think so many people are depressed” mentality. If we hairless apes are going to make it we need to figure out how to produce more great people. Right now one possible tool is antidepressants among other drugs and nootropics.

I used to be a NEET who laid in bed all day and masturbated to all sorts of perverted porn. I used to daydream a lot and made some interesting friends online through ERP. Now I'm on anti-depressants and I have a retail job. The pills killed my libido so I don't ERP anymore so I don't have any interesting relations. Actually, the pills kind of killed everything. I can't daydream, I can't do anything but just barely function and exist in a society where there is nothing that I even really want. Oh, and I've put on a lot of weight because that's a side effect apparently.

SSRI's for lief here, the only side effect I ever noticed was it made me far more sleepy. After 7 years of fluoxetine (SSRI) I went off them, only thing different was that I had an expanded emotional range, feelings like bittersweet were far stronger and more common, I quite enjoyed it.
Something I'll call "Depression" here for brevity (but was actually something far worse) kicked in after three months off the stuff, so I decided to go back on something, but something else that hopefully would fix the depression issue but not limit my emotional range. Duloxetine (SSNRI) is what I tried, and it's fantastic. Same dosage, it's dropped my emotional range from maybe 100% to 90%, stuff like bittersweet's harder to come by but still around, whereas fluoxetine I felt dropped my emotional range and intensity down to 40%, while not affecting my personality.
I'd like to know what the fuck doctors in the US prescribe you guys
Juan Bennett
Don’t take them man, I had a friend who tools antidepressants and he is never the same on them. Exactly like above posts, they’re in a dreamlike state where they are too out of it to even have a normal conversations
Brandon Cox
interesting link
what does it have to do with bipolar though?
Landon Powell
That the all felt shit in life, and where given them as a coping mechanism? No fucking shit.
When a doctor talks to a crazy fuck, what else are they gonna do?
Most just say "Fuck it", give them something and hope it fixes them, but the crazy fuck feels so sad that a fucking pill didn't magically fix everything like they were told it would that they decide nothing is ever gonna fix them so they kill some people, then themselves.
Blame doctors for prescribing SSRI's today like they did antibiotics 10 years ago
Gabriel Allen
sounds like he needs to be up front with his Dr. the pill he's taking obviously isn't the right is for him
Justin Adams
If they help you, that's great, I've just run into hundreds of horror stories over the years, especially in regards to soldiers taking them for their PTSD and then going full rampage-mode.
>If someone says “dude I need some help” then why the fuck wouldn’t they be given at least a small dose to check it out?
This, however, sounds like a smackhead you'd run into at a train station randomly. "Maaaan I just need that fucking rock, please help meeee what the fuck dudeee, have a heart".
And we are the children of a perfect God, but that's an entirely different subject. What does Wellbutrin (sorry, I have no fucking clue what that is and I'd rather get a firsthand account than Google it) do for you anyway? What sort of an issue did you have before you started taking it, if you won't mind me asking?
Logan Baker
Read the section about flashbulb memory again and think hardly about a particular section within that passage. The hint here is "accuracy".
Wyatt Jones
Escitalopram, actually.
Robert Davis
Although, not having the ability to use emotional memories for guiding future behaviours can be detrimental, as has been (((hypothesized))) as a (((potential))) cause to the lack of goal oriented behaviours in schizophrenic individuals.

Carter Campbell
SSRI's are popular with mass shooters.
Jace Gray
Only thing that helped me after trying all kinds of antidepressants and drugs: testosterone entanthate 70mg 2x per week + 2x 6mg exemestane with it. Fixed depression.
downside is poking yourself twice per week and my hair is shedding faster.
Carter Gray
You have no fucking idea what you are talking about.
I doubt you have ANY medical training or have any experience around someone having a bipolar manic episode.
It is manageable, but to claim it is linked to self esteem and control... That is complete rubbish.
Chase Flores
Ive known a few people on them. It fixes their deep dark depression but makes them numb. They still have no joy, they just arent as bad as they were.
People dont fix what is causing the depression in their life, they just try to fix it with a pill.
Jeremiah Cook
Just recently came off Celexa (citalopram) due to the massive amount of unignorable side-effects that began almost a day within taking them. I had previously taken them 2 years ago to cope with major depression and suicidal ideation with the same result. Here are my experiences:
>Couldn't get properly hard with my girlfriend and sometimes couldn't cum.
>Cock went completely numb.
>Unexplainable Sartre-esque daily nausea.
>Anxiety reduced to a fault where I would blurt out anything because I was too numb and apathetic to care.
>Waking up at 4am covered in sweat occasionally.
>Brain zaps.
>Dry mouth.
>Total apathy.
>Massively reduced range of emotions - my girlfriend was asking me what happened to me, and why I became so different.
>Complete ambivalence to danger, which was very useful for rock climbing but dangerous whilst driving.
>All my legal troubles and even an unplanned pregnancy happened on SSRIs because I was in a nihlistic stupor.
The only positive was that they killed my social anxiety completely, but even though I reduced the dosage in half the side effects still remained. Fucking awful drugs that turn you into a robot and now I have to contend with the withdrawal period again.
Aiden Diaz
suboxone actually is an antidepressant and it's under review as we speak. soon it will be prescribed for depression.
Colton Cruz
People who talk that SSRI´s kill you inside: try neuroleptics
I was 3 months on olanzapine, levomepromazine, valproate and diazepam.
Neuroleptics will fuck you up. Your body, sensations will change to a degree that you do not even feel alive in this body. your dick does not work, you do not dream, you gain shitloads of weight. True zombie drugs
Jordan Gutierrez
holy shit youre right. who would want to take suboxone though? if you dont have a dope tolerance all it does it make you puke for 12 hours.
Liam Long
zyprexa, valium, and depakote?
wtf why
David Jenkins
I was talking about the part where your accuracy declines for three months. Does this information truly not comfort you in that you have the possible correct answer to your worries? You have it in what I'll call a language form as opposed to having it known about, but not in a way that would be currently acceptable. Speaking of acceptable showing of language, check out this: en.wikipedia.org

Fucked up doctors. I thought he was crazy from the beginning, still do.
I quit all that shit and try to gain my brain back so that I can work again. Those drugs dropped my IQ probably like 50 points, at least it feels like that. I´m now one month off of those poisons and got my "wit" back so to speak.

why didn't you try a different one if that drug have you that many side effects? and to think you went BACK to the same exact drug...
that's your own fault
