Thread 941553530

i just got prescribed it, personally i dont trust this shit. id like to know your opinions anons

I barely feel it, I might ask for a higher dose. Mine is just like the picture 20 mg

>>941553861
interesting, they started me out at 10 mg today and a follow up after a month. i dont trust it tbh.

>>941553530 (OP)
It's not like dropping acid or anything, you might just have a little more energy and not feel so withdrawn or sullen.

I was on different SSRIs but they only worked for a few months, gave me insomnia and made my dick numb

>>941553989
fr?? id stop taking em if they did that. jerking off is priority

>>941553971
sounds decent. im 99% sure he diagnosed me wrong. , i hated the nigger that diagnosed me, despite the fact I'm a literal adult he would only talk to my mom. no say what so ever. cause apparently being depressed makes me retarted too

>>941553989
I needed the dick numbness because I was coming way too fast and I knew it was related to anxiety and depression, unless you mean you couldn't get hard anymore that would suck.

>>941553530 (OP)
I've heard some people get spontaneous ejaculations from them.

>>941554083
he talks to your mom because you're literally retarded lol

>>941554144
hmm that doesnt apply to me i dont have a dick. but yk. sketchy fucking drug.

>>941554083
Yeah i'd imagine a lot of people go in with the mindset of "i'm not depressed" because they don't feel sad and aren't crying all the time, so the doctor wants other opinions, and that could be bad too depending on your relationship with your mom and her priorities. Hopefully just stated the facts without her own spin on it, but good doctors can see right through that too.

>>941554170
sure buddy

>>941553530 (OP)
I'm not a fan to be honest. You probably just have ADHD. They misdiagnose depression all day.
There is a pool that boosts serotonin I took for 4 years that helped even though it was prescribed for depression.
But ya you prolly just have ADHD like me, I have it really bad, exacerbated by PTSD.
Ask for atomixitin, or strattera. It's not a stimulant so you won't get more anxiety, unless you take too much, but I'm on maximum strength and it's helping.
Also weed makes ADHD people way worse

>>941554194
im telling you, this fag treated me like every other depressed nigger, brushed it off as an "eating disorder, anxiety and depression" when ive expirenced mania, been perverted and fucked up for years. literally expressed my desire to kill/rape niggers nd he didn't listen. doesnt get ive been fucked up for a while. just threw some meds at me and sent me out, mom never spent time with me she doesnt know shit

>>941554258
told this guy i suspected adhd, again, didnt listen to me cause my teachers didnt say i was distracted at school. like thats all it takes to be diagnosed, been suffering for years with symptoms of it. my dad had it, and brother ect. fucked up system, didnt even give me time to explain why or any referal

>>941554258
ah i get the weed thing, i was rlly fucked when i smoked pot all day, trying to get better. only thing that seems to help is drinking a shit ton of coffee and nicotine patches (quit smoking)

For years it seemed like doctors moved away from prozac in favor of zoloft and paxil, but now it I noticed prozac is coming back. I'm just talking about the most basic cheapest anti-depressants, I know they have way more advanced and expensive ones nowadays too.

>>941554088
I could get hard but barely felt anything so it was almost impossible to orgasm. I managed to after a month but it was still really difficult
Mirtazapine was way better for me

>>941554606
Yeah I wish I could try every single one and find out for myself which one works the best

>>941554606
they didnt mention this too me, i hate the healthcare system. fuck idk if i wanna take em anymore, would rather die by suicide than this

>>941554717
Do you even have sex anyway?

>>941554669
i once met a Brazilian girl, she said SSRI's are basically off the counter meds there. idk why america and Canada have such a shitty, long and expensive system to get diagnosed or find out what meds are right for you. should be able to handle your own health most people are competent enough too

>>941554747
nope, but i jerk off alot. it keeps me sane

>>941554669
If one doesn't work for you or has side effects you can't tolerate, they'll just get you to try another, so you sorta can but for me they gave up after 5 and I went back to the one that was most tolerable

>>941554717
Side effects vary from person to person, it was probably just particularly bad for me. They also lessen over time

>>941553530 (OP)
these drugs aren't good for you. you need to find a way to manage without them.
make friends
go to the gym
spend time outside

>>941553530 (OP)
I helps me... A lot.. I've been on it for around 25 years... but I do see the dangers. I don't have a tremendous amount of side effects from it anymore... Which is good, but it's also not as effective on me anymore. Just be very careful with side effects the dick numbing is real and can become permanent. I started on 20mg, but have taken as much as 80mg but I'm on 40mg now and anything above that doest have any effect on me. Good luck.

>>941555195
Diet and exercise will definitely help no matter if you take Prozac or not. It wasn't enough for me, but if you exercise while taking Prozac it will have a HUGE effect and you can definitely lower your dose... And maybe eventually drop the meds all together.

>>941554965
That's the thing about me though, even if one is working it's always in the back of mind that a different one might work better.

>>941555243
Maybe you're normal now and that's why they feel like they aren't working anymore

Prozac doesn't work for me, Lexapro is powerful as fuck. Dick numbing is a real thing but it does not prevent you from having powerful orgasms or pleasing your girl, it just makes it less sensitive and makes you last longer (me at least). Libido going down is the main concern and I have yet to experience that.

>>941553530 (OP)
they just make you more agreeable to whatever bs you are going through and less likely to complain about it. also your dick may stop working ... but its fine

>>941554258
>Ask for atomixitin, or strattera.
this worked for me as well

>>941555243
>>941555195

These responses irritate the FUCK out of me, there are so many people that are misdiagnosed. Some people have it better than other people but its a chemical imbalance in the brain. No matter what you do, you can't fix that without medication that offsets the root cause of the issue.

>make friends
>go to the gym
>spend time outside

I have a good quality of life yet I wake up feeling this feeling over me and it goes away when I take the medication. If not being a loser fixes it then you don't have depression, you're depressed. Big difference.

So basically after reading this thread it's the guys who get the raw deal with these medications, I mean there's no equivalent on the women's side with dicks not working. It does seem like women are more likely to balloon up on these drugs though from what i've noticed.

>>941555758
i hate it as well, been told that same shit all my life it pisses me off

>>941553971
SSRI's block the effects of psychedelics, so what does that tell you about their effects? Being on SSRI is like the opposite of being on a psychedelic.

>>941555567
the issue is, all of you have dicks, i dont, also no gf or bf

>>941555243
jesus, honestly just sounds like a shitty life, honestly not sure about these meds, ill try them for a bit but if i get any shitty side effects im ending it, ive toughed it out to this point anyway

>>941555887
hes just saying it wont get you high retard, not comparing the two

>>941554199
How old are you? Literal adults usually don't bring their mothers to doctor's appointments. If you had gone by yourself the doctor would have been telling you everything.

>>941555892
Are you op?

>>941555892
I'm confused, what's your issue then? Are you concerned its going to make you less wet or something?

>>941555949
I do feel a slight high if I steal one of my Aunts Zoloft, not really high but mind altered.

>>941555949
I'M the one who made the comparison retard. Think about it for a second. If psychedelics make you more aware of the true nature of reality, and SSRI's block that effect, what do you think the effect of SSRI's is?

>>941555960
18 but since it was after a suicide attempt my mom went with me, its an urgent care place and they diagnose you pretty fast, since she was there they talked to her over me.
>>941555988
yes
>>941556002
your clit is essentially a mini-dick and it gets hard, i jerk off alot. concerned if id have a hard time getting wet / aroused. i need to jerk off to live bro , you don't get it, its one of the only things i wake up for.

>>941556067
kek
its maybe been an hour since i took the first one, maybe its placebo but i feel somewhat numb.
> not really high but mind altered.
thats what being high is you tard

>>941556111
I see. Yeah they do treat you like a retard if you go in with suicidal issues. Try not to take it personally.

>>941556111
If you're on T or pump your clit or something I have no idea if it affects your ability to get hard. My girl has been on SSRIs and she hasn't voiced any loss of sensitivity, still feels like it gets just as swollen as before to me. But everyone is different.

>>941556110
....what the fuck are you even trying to get at? you were saying they don't get you high by my understanding, maybe they numb you (SSRI) by raising your seritonin, and yes psychedelics make you overly aware and emotional. ive been on shrooms a few times.

>>941556153
No, downers don't get you "high". There's a reason it's called a high. I wouldn't say beer gets me high either.

>>941556177
i know, pisses me off immensely though, considering i did great in high school, i got a pretty high IQ I hate the way any entitled fuck over the age of 30 talks to me. specially therapists/phycologists

>>941553530 (OP)
Started prozac i think around 3 or 4 months ago. Currently taking 60mg for OCD and depression. Never been happier before in my life. The dick thing is real but kinda exeggerated. A few weeks after i started it was actually kinda bad, it would take me like an hour to cum but rn despite being on a 3 times higher dose i can cum pretty easily, so your body just needs to adjust. It upsets me so much knowing there are so many people out there suffering so much and not getting help just because they have this weird phobia of antidepressants

>>941556111
Oh cool you have one of those inch long clits like people make threads about

>>941556225
being "high" by definition is an altered state of mind caused by some substance. but i know what your getting at

>>941556266
thanks anon ill take this into consideration and give it a chance. therapy never works and its expensive, if a pill is the answer so be it.

>>941556266
It's a valid fear though considering so many people rely on sex and masturbating for dopamine.

>>941556275
no, what? anyone with a pussy gets a hard clit, its basic anatomy they should of taught you this in middle school if your American or Canadian.

>>941556303
Yeah because I've done quaaludes before and was feeling pretty "low"

>>941556333
nothing better than that. i don't think other than masturbating i feel any sort of real "joy". talking to people is irl boring and stressful, silence makes me spiral into my own thoughts. this wont change i know for a fact. felt like this since very young

>>941556354
kek

>>941556406
It sounds to me like you are depressed and worried SSRIs are going to kill your sex drive. You should not take them unless you get to a point where you have every reason to be happy but you feel like something is wrong and is affecting your ability to feel the same happiness the people around you feel. That's the best way I can describe depression. Being depressed is the lingering (but fleeting) sadness you feel when your dog dies. Depression is a somewhat similar overall feeling, but one goes away and the other doesn't.

Like I said it's frustrating to me that people get diagnosed for being depressed rather than having a chemical imbalance. I've felt this feeling since I was a kid. If your quality of life is not great but you have the ability to change it then change it. SSRI's won't fix your problems if you're depressed any more than alcohol will.

>>941556531
i get it, i know what will fix me, getting out of this hell hole of a town and building my career, being alone and successful. but ill try the meds since nothing else seems to work. one day ill be free

>>941556577
I've had to figure all this out for myself and get to a point where I was making money, having sex daily, see friends frequently, nice dinners, etc. to realize that the feeling I was waking up with is not normal. Anyone want someone to talk to about it feel free to add me on Discord: xorpus
I would have killed to have this knowledge and experience years ago.

What I noticed while I was on zoloft for a while, after I got done fucking a chick and came, I didn't immediately want to kick her out or shove her away, I was more likely to lie in bed with her just cuddling.

>>941557049
Yeah i'd try that with op I guess

>>941553530 (OP)
Stay away from it, get kanna extract take daily, you can rail it if you want

>>941557117
bro what

>>941557049
who the hell does that anyway. maybe its cause i never get love or sex but that seems cruel

>>941557049
>>941557196

That's because the SSRI is doing it's job and the brain is actually able to process prolactin effectively after orgasm.

>>941553530 (OP)
Trust? Wtf does that have to do with an everyday chemical? Your trust isn't relevant.

Prozac is fine, works well for my wife even if it didn't do much for me. If it doesn't end up helping in a few weeks, ask for a change of meds.

less is more expect the introductry dose to be high, ask it if it is a cumilative drug or as needed?

>>941557372
Yeah I figured it was something like that

>>941553530 (OP)
Did op post her clit yet?

Who's volunteering to be my little secret tonight?
