Started 20mg of prozac about a week and a half ago and both my appetite and sex drive have just disappeared

Started 20mg of prozac about a week and a half ago and both my appetite and sex drive have just disappeared.
Like, three days ago it was fine, but all of the sudden I don't feel like eating at all.

I'm bored as all hell and decided I would try and jerk off, so I went to look at porn and it just did not appeal to me. It just looked gross. I didn't last a minute before I closed the tab out of disgust.

Any of you have any experience with prozac or other anti depressants? Will I ever be getting my apetite/sex drive back while I'm on these little green pills?

Dude, stop being a fucking twat. Get over yourself and man up.

Taking drugs because you can't handle emotions makes you enough of a pussy, why would you take drugs to increase your pansiness?

i take 30mg prozac and it doesn't work for me. i don't have any side effects either, but it just doesn't do anything.

Consider yourself lucky you can be so ignorant

This
Do some psycadellics then get back to me
Or atleast a fun drug you fuck

SSRIs don't even start working until 2-4 weeks. What the actual fuck are you talking about?

Just wait a few weeks and keep talking to your doctor. They have weird side effects at first.

That's exactly why men don't like taking them. You'll lose the ability to get hard and get off. Appetite will decrease.

The best one for men being able to function on it sexually is Wellbutrin (or the generic version). It still fucks with your sex life somewhat, but not as bad as the others.

In my opinion, antidepressants are bad drugs. I frequently am either walking on sunlight or in black despair..... but anti-depressants make everything one even shade of gray which is far worse than having ups and downs....

Trazadone and Celexa have both made my sex drive diminish into nothing for the first few weeks. with that being say I'm on 40mg of prozac(probably need to bump it up) and i didnt experiance any loss of sex drive. I'm sure its just person to person with the side effects. give it a few weeks and it'll come back op

It's not ignorance. They tried to put me on that shit. It made it way worse. I stopped, and just decided to work it out. I learned how to control my emotions because I didn't have a crutch that made my ego worse because my dick didn't work.

This is actually good advice. They can really help you realize how good your life is.

This is me.

BTW: it was my CHILD DYING that made me depressed. Not some woman or whatever.

keep on them and dont give up, i am diagnosed with so much shit and would be a wreck without my meds.

Prozacfag here. 40mg daily.

Sex: Definitely an effect on me. Much harder to climax while on the pill. My refractory period is also increased. I can only really have one orgasm a day. Get two in one day, then I need to take a couple days to recuperate. Spontaneous boners are definitely less often. As far as actual sex drive goes, I'd say it's also slightly decreased. I've always been a horndog though, so I'm probably only at an average sex drive now.

Appetite: doesn't really have an effect on that for me. I remember when I first started taking the pills that I would be a little nauseous, but that only happened in the first few doses.

it takes a few weeks for the pills to kick in, dw you'll be fine, if you're not fine in a few weeks go back to your doctor and ask to try an alternative.

A week and a half is still a very short time on Prozac. All SSRIs take a while to truly take effect and become your new normal. I'd give it more time. Try to give it a month. You should be reporting back to your psychiatrist in short order for a checkup since you're on new medication. Be sure to tell them about your sideffects, especially the sexual ones. It is common to experience some side effects. Talk with your doc, and you might try a different medication. There are a ton of options. Just like birth control, some pills agree with your body, and some don't.

Sounds like you need to talk to your doc about a dosage increase or switching to another medication.

You are correct that the benefits of SSRIs take a while to kick in. However, you can suffer the side effects almost immediately. I was nauseous and unable to climax for the first week or so. Thought the medicine sucked. After a while the negatives subsided and I started to feel random moments of "Hey, life's not so bad."

looks like we got a real genius here, listen up boys.

It worked for him so if it doesn't work for you that means you are a pussy.

Man up!
or get out!
Do you even lift?

fucking kill yourself

Yeah OP, I'm taking 20 mg of Celexa. The first couple of weeks I actually experienced a huge increase in sex drive, but after being on it for a couple of months the though of masturbating makes me sick. SSRI's are known to be libido killers. As for the appetite, it can go either way. Some people see an increase, some people a decrease. The sexual side effects will most likely stick around, but your appetite should come back at some point

You won't be able to nut either, even if you do get aroused

get them to prescribe you klonopin then LOL

What!!! Can i just "work it out" and decide to feel better?!?!? Im a fucking dumbass

if you think thats shit try anti-psychotics

Try being on 150mg, that's a hard hitter

im on escitalopram and mirtazapine, dont remember the last time i was horny.

on the other hand, getting laid while seriously depressed isnt that great.

i just think of it as another thing i dont have to worry about. not being depressed is more important

Anti-psychotics are are also dopamine antagonist-- meaning that they will lower the amount of dopamine released when you have sex or even exercise, eat, or do anything enjoyable. They are like the opposite of street drugs.

>They are like the opposite of street drugs

What are you suffering from that they prescribed that high of a dosage? Thought 80mg was the most they gave out

i used to get annoyed as fuck by depressed people. i thought that being depressed was equal to not trying hard enough.

then i got srsly depressed and considered to an hero almost every day. i got what i deserved

Stop taking Prozac and antidepressants. They're bad news Op. Find hobbies, spend more time in nature, etc.

>Find hobbies, spend more time in nature, etc
why don you go and do exactly that so we dont have to read your bullshit

>chemical lobotomy
You're fucking yourself hard with Jew drugs, but at least the Jews are happy that it's goingto be one more brainless goyim with latent fluorotic brain injury mental illness

at 140mg I lost all erectile function. at 80 it started getting impossible to come - I could nearly get there, but not get there. at 40 I had some problems coming, but could eventually...

this is not unusual.

feels bad though - very emasculating. Bt better than having fantasies about jumping off tall buildings...


as the dose went down again things came back to normal. don't worry.

Dudde stop being a fucking twat. Get over yourself and stop being all macho on the internet because you feel te need to be alpha - which shows you are at heart beta as shit.

having depression isn't a matter of not handling emtions - it is the result of long term stress adn having had to cope with intolerable things - it is a sign that you have been strong for too long.

Durning first 2 weeks or longer you shouldn't feel any differences and can be worst. I was taken prozac for 1,5 year and first month was the worst thing ever, so don't worry.. will be better :)

>jooz cured my depression
>anti-semites didnt
>jooz - 1, anti-semites - 0

good thing your many layers of foil protect you from lobotomy, faggot. gas yourself

Read the 'side affects' for Prozac........suicidal thoughts and tendency.........how can that be a affect of a so called anti depressant? Dude u would be better off taking some MDMA and go out raving on the weekend's....it's the bollocks and seething to look forward to.....or somthing

Anytime you're messing with brain chemistry the side effect can be an hero thoughts or actions. Pretty typical warning.

>cured my depression
It's too bad you wont even remember that you had depression, or even your first name when you're fucked up on dementia in 20 years from now.

mdma might work nice for couple of hrs but then causes serious serotonin depletion, literally the worst thing for someone whos already depressed.

also, mdma kills your erection

i honestly wouldnt mind forgetting i was ever depressed. also i work with people with dementia and you dont know shit about it or what causes it

Side effects are not an exact science. They basically ask everyone in the drug trial what they experienced and list all of them as potential side effects. That's why almost everything lists headache and fatigue

youre both wrong, those "side effects" were written by lawyers to protect companies from getting sued. if you experience that shit you probably wanted to an hero before you started the treatment

The reason risk of suicide can increase in the beginning of treatment is because you go from depressed and apathetic to depressed and full of energy. The anti depressant effect doesn't come until 3-4 weeks of taking it.

SSRI are fucking trap. Tried Lexapro and had bad fucking side effects so i discontinued and after just being 2 days on this shit i had about month withdrawals worst fucking days of my life. If doctor told me withdrawal is so fucking bad id never took it.

anybody in the 253 area want to do a line of coke with me?

Hi Moot

...

>i'm a god damned nurse (at best) and think i'm a neurologist
>fluorotic brain injury is a solution to anything
>i wouldn't mind dementia tbh
>no, fluoridated ssri's and fluoride compounds in general are not proven IQ reductants and are not proven to injure the brain
Yes. They're this fucking stupid.

...

WHEN YOU DO EJACULATE, IT WILL BE THE MOST INTENSE, LEG JERKING ORGASM OF ALL TIME. Trust.

Without dopamine, all your bloodily functions would stop working. That's why you see allot of mentally-ill people looking unhealthy and obese.

You mean: [Bodily] functions.

are you a fucking neurologist then? if not, why should anyone give a fuck about what you think about dementia and/or depression? every treatment has its own group of faggots that think "its bad for you" just because.

go write a scientific article, get it peer reviewed, publish it, collect your nobel prize. then come back and shitpost
