The book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels is recommended. Gives good daily mindfulness exercises. Worth a try.

Prayer helps and herbal medicine.
antidepressants ruined my life, this is a painfully honest comment. the problem in my case is the DISHONESTY!!! psychiatrists lie all the time
They certainly do.
And then they turn NASTY when you complain of side effects or want to get off the meds. 18 years of being pumped with pills and feel healthier than ever being off of everything. Ill take the crying spells over the side effects
@@ellekay852 good for you!
@zanmirrob exactly. Have an appt. tomorrow to begin tapering my xanax. I must try yet another antidepressants. Why? They are worse than the xanax ever have been for me. Everyone I know feels so bad that they are being taken from me. I won't be going out or having a life. I do know that. I remember how my life was before them. Coughing, sweating, just a mess at public functions. After I began them I could actually sit and enjoy my children's school performances with out all the side effects of severe anxiety. Its sad they are taking them away. And with the sleep narcolepsy I'll be falling and staying asleep more and more. The anxiety destroys my energy. I'm tired because I I know the DR's really don't care? How could they when my life will be again what it once was only worse? All about the money. Isn't it always? I'll lose my schedule. Miss appts and lose doctor's just as I did 26 years ago. How can it even be human to take away what has worked for me all these years? A crippled person.
The lies always
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 4years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing!
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I can't wait to get them too.
Really need a reliable source. 🙏

The reality is that problems that make us sad need to be solved in real life, not with medication. I’m depressed bcuz I’m rich but don’t have friends (my old friends got jealous of my success and I became bitter).
I started anti depressants and anti psychotics yesterday. I threw up the entirety of the day. I tried to sleep the entire day to reduce it, but kept waking up in between my sleep and throwing up. A monstrosity, I’ve never felt worse in my life.
meditate, go on walks, breathe fresh air. Do not take the pills. Your own body is an organism and it is telling you to get this out.
Same.. the other night i took my first pill again after 1yr of stopping it, after 1 and a half hour i suddenly felt the burning sensation on my stomach & pounding heartbeats, i was so nauseous and so dizzy then i went to the hospital and the hypertension, nausea, tachycardia, headache, upset stomach got worse.. they gave me med to cure my stomach and voila! The palpitations gone, but my BP was still high so they gave me something to lower it down.. and now im still dizzy, nauseous and still has headaches even if i stopped taking it..
@@katayoonanoushiravani6664 I stopped after this. Pills are truly the worst thing anyone can induce, I’m much happier now thankfully.
@@xtalnavz160 Sorry to hear that.
Same, feel can sleep entire day, but keep waking up after a hour with racing intrusive though
I was sold the lie too. At a young age. The effects it’s hard on my brain and then life has been and is still paralysing.
If you are depressed it’s okay to feel emotions. Stay strong. And don’t believe big farma, they do not care about you!
Big pharma rules herbs pot and meditation far better than drugs doctors don't want you healed they make money out of keeping you sick sad wake up people!
If you're comfortable with saying, what effects did it have on you?
True, but when your in the military, you are restricted to what medicines and substance you can ingest into your system under regulations and UCMJ.
Well said. I wish you all well here.
I'm off polly meds, bearing 28th years & it's still very terrible.

@@stephenbailey7652what happened to you
For the gentleman with the shaking hand, I had a similar response to benzodiazepines and SSRI's. Have you had your DNA checked? It was found with me that I am a rapid and ultra rapid metabolizer of many anxiety, depression, and opioid medications. I had seizures, speech problems, and involuntary movements such as yours. I am still trying to withdrawal from these drugs, as the withdrawal symptoms are horrible and in the beginning were like the side effects, only worse. It may be worth looking into. Thank you all for fighting this fight.
Hi! Just wondering how you had your DNA checked? I'm interested in doing mine. Thanks.
@@Storm11117 it is called a pharmacogenetics test and I believe any doctor can order it.

hey mate for the pharmacogenetics test , what does it indicate ? once you know some issue with your genes what can we do about the addiction to antidepressants ? i since come off my z loft drugs but have become dependent that i cant live with out it. if I don't take it I feel nothing at all except for fear ,anxiety , depression , lack of motivation and no desire to get out of the house.
Reading all of these comments inspire me to try my best to manage my depression without any meds
I am also confused about antidepressant because I start my medication 3 days ago but afraid of side effects but they meke me feel good
@@taniya7062dont take it
I took sertraline today and i felt so sick, thankfully i did my research about why it increases anxiety even if the doctor says it's a normal symptom. I refused to have a long term medications of antidepressants because i don't even have depression anyways, only anxiety that i need to overcome. So I'm proud to say I'm quitting at day 1.
YES
Don't take it, I wish I could go back in time 2019, Feb and never have taken it. Get therapy, do mediation, but also list out what's stressing you, I think we confuse depression with long term stress and mistakenly go on antidepressants, which makes us behave out of character. I regret not exerting my excessive energy in heavy work out which would have kept my mind busy and decreased my stress levels, go gym or do frequently heavy house cleaning which will help against depression and perhaps even reduce stress.
Antidepressants ruined my life, there horrific trying to come off them. Even though i'm in long term withdrawal which is the most horrific thing known to man its still 100 times better than being on them. Think about that before you take this crap.
No it's not true...
@@DhavalAhir10 Do you know better what she's going through than herself? Quite interesting.

Antidepressants saved my life. I went from being depressed, suicidal, overweight, demotivated, anxious 24/7 with zero experience in women to healthy, dating frequently, lost 15kg, no longer anxious or depressed; completely turned my life around. That being said the first 4-8 weeks were horrible, absolutely fuckin horrible.

I am taking 100 mg of sertraline a day! @@giannilover1111
I took fluoxetine for nine months after sudden unexpected romantic break up, job and parental loss. I was also born with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy, and have used a wheelchair since I was nine years old. The medicine helped me and brought me relief for approximately one week. After that, things got worse and have been that way ever since - even after I stopped taking the medicine. While I was on the medicine, I had seizures, my tight muscles would become even tighter And my anxiety and depression became much much worse. Although I am no longer dealing with the seizures, I’ve been dealing with terrible, terrible anxiety and suicidal thoughts that have slowly increased overtime. But I recently found this subconscious mind clearing meditation. That seems to be helping me a lot. I’ve been listening to it since 1 November And my feelings of anxiety and depression have decreased such that I feel much more comfortable now. I was in agony before - wanting or maybe even needing to take my life every single day constantly. That’s no way for anyone to live. For me, SSRI’s were complete poison. I also developed digestive problems that I’m still dealing with too.
Same i also took fluoxetine for 2 years and at first I was feeling so happy and thought everything was back to normal but after some time I am having a serious side effects.. Constipation, digestive issues,weight gain,pimples on my face, worrying all the time ,stiff muscles, waking up at middle of the night,it becomes a dependence better not to take it...
I have anxiety but will NEVER ever try any anti-depressant again. Brutal side effects. Going for an hour walk is best
That’s changed my life. Cheers
Truth
I took for first time 6 months ago at the age of 39.I never had acneea in my life,After 1 month i had severe acneea!I thought maybe til the body adjust and it will go away.
Got proressively worse,i stoppped after 6 months!
In the last month i noticed hair loss,the hair above the forehead,i could see my scalp though the hair in a very wierd way,like the hair was thinner more transparent,seeing ur scalp though ur hair in a very obvious way!
I stopped immediately,hair recovered,bec i noticed right away.
Now im doing treatment for acneea,hopefully will cure!
If hour walk cures your depression - I assume you didn't really have it..
Acne on face or back?
I think depression and severe depression come from years and years of not finding satisfaction in life, and somehow it has become natural to self-destruct over finding a comprehensive solution that doesn't hurt yourself or others. Going against what is natural to you instead of listening to yourself and being hard on yourself for not doing what you wanted. The best anti-depressant, in my opinion, is meditation as it allows the mind to dominate the matter of its existence beyond repetitive negative behavior.
100%
You are incorrect, depression a purely natural thing that results from natural desires and expectations
@@thepracticalgymnast8001 nope
Society and peoples behaviors that are considered normal are quite depressing. Everyone is mostly nasty and noticed most people with depression are often much nicer Humble caring people than others. Mix that with lifelong narcissistic abusive parents that don’t care for you and lots of damage can be done. Many people have no support system they’re just thrown away or worse by 18 by people far more Dangerous. But save face. Hang in there everyone.
@@mychannelnotyours you cant say that without giving a counter argument 😅😂
For ppl who are really suffering from severe depression and anxiety yes they can try antidepressants, but the thing is most psychiatrists prescribe them to everyone out of nowhere, like everyone should take them even though they don’t really have to, and that’s really frustrating to me, I was on them for about 5 months (i tried sertraline, clomipramine which was the worst tbh, and finally escitalopram) and know i am forcing myself to come off from them after my doc told me that I should keep taking my med for additional 9 months.
Many years ago I was prescribed amitriptyline it made me more angry and unstable than I already was the bus time jump from 5 to 6 minutes pure rage eventually I was prescribed quetiapine and that works perfectly for me
what is bus time jump ? ; also try to stop quetiapine now and you will see u will not be able to sleep and u will get very frustrated u can't stop it it's very hard ; ) @@epicmonkey6663

I got thrown in a mental ward for wanting to call it a life. They didn't even give me the choice on taking it, they lied by saying if I take them I'll be out quicker and went as far as to threaten to call security to jam it down my throat...
Of all my life those couple of weeks were the closest I've been to hell
If I could say one thing to my younger self it would be don’t ever take the poison that these big pharma shills push. These people want you dependent, you are a customer fOR LIFE!
Hope you find peace bro
I really do wish the best for you and I would like you to try to find reason and meaning in the life you've been given, however much that means to you.
Wish you all the best.
Bless you. Being sectioned is one of my greatest fears, so you have my sincere empathy and sympathy. I'm amazed I've managed to avoid it. If you don't mind me asking, do you think your time under section helped you in any way in the long run? Or was it wholly negative?
"Severe depression"? The majority of people prescribed antidepressants do not have severe depression. The "benefits" do not outweigh the risks... given that the meta analyses show that SSRI medications do not outperform the placebo effect. These drugs represent criminal negligence in institutional medicine.
thank you 100%
I have never suffered so hard in my entire life while being forced taking medication. And guess what? After they finally left me off this poison I might have PSSD. Its not guaranteed that the side effects go away which makes them diseases. Permanently, for ever, your whole life!
Slightly more effective than placebo in some studies. Who knows though, from what I’ve heard the studies were funded by the people who sell it.
It's ironic how there is an antidepressant commercial not only saying one of the side effects is "suicidal thoughts" but it also says "increased risk of depression" even though it's supposed to do the exact opposite.
it's sad that they advertise on tv for antidepressants. it's wrong on so many levels. apparently they don't advertise for medicine of any kind outside of the u.s.
The reason why increased risk of suicide is a side-effect, is because the first thing to usually dissipate after taking an SSRI is psycho motor retardation. When you’re not too heavy to get out of bed it’s easier to commit suicide.
Yeah the BBC tells it how it is. I'm glad I ain't in the US. There advertisements are nuts.
If you are in anyway creative stay away from sertraline!! This terrible drug stripped me of my creativity 😭
I use to draw,paint,write and make music before I was prescribed sertraline.
Now I have no creative spark at all 😢when I think of all that I use to create just for the enjoyment of it I break down cry( of course making me even more depressed) This is truly a cruel and evil drug!!!
The effects were permanent?
@Mr Hater I would never expect someone who is not creative to understand🙄 its like loosing a loved one!! I use to draw from the age of like 2-3 (38 now) the doctor may as well have cut my arm or leg off. Not being able to create made me even more depressed than before, moron!

I'm one of the people that had SEVERE ADVERSE reactions to some antidepressants (to Prozac and Effexor, as well as two other drugs called Compazine and Reglan, all of which gave me the same HORRIFIC episode that has now left me with PTSD).
Within a half hour of taking the pill, I had a HORRIFIC episode of my brain going crazy and instantly trying to kill me (I had to fight my own body from clawing myself and trying to kill myself to end the madness). The horror of that episode can't be adequately put into words, and sadly I've had this same adverse reaction to three other drugs, which has left me with PTSD.
When I told my psychiatrist that this drug made me want to kill myself, that I had to fight my body from running to the kitchen and grabbing a butcher knife, his response was something along the lines of, "well I think you need to let this be in your system for it to work", and he actually tried to tell me to stay on the drug.
The fact that I told him that this drug INSTANTLY made me have to fight my own body from stabbing myself with a butcher knife, and that he said I should "try to stay on it", has left me DUMBFOUNDED, and this was the first major wakeup call of learning when to tell doctors no.
Yeah, doctors are truly stupid sometimes. They don't listen to you and just do what they want to. I too had a very bad reaction to an antidepressant which has left me with, what I believe will be lifelong effects. I hope you are doing well.
@Person Maaan, yeah it sounds like we had a very similar experience. Gawsh, I wish more doctors and nurses were aware that these HORRIFIC side effects, though maybe rare, do happen from this drug. Almost every doctor and nurse I talked to about this made me feel like it was just my anxiety, when I know beyond the shadow of a doubt it was from the drug.
I hope you never touch it again!!! Believe it or not I had a doctor try to convince me to give it a second chance!!! He said that prozac needs to be in my system for at least a week, and I was dumbfounded.
Like I had just told him that one pill of this made me wanna stab myself with a kitchen knife (among other obscene things), and the fact that he heard that and STILL tried to convince me to be on it, blows my mind.
This was one of those experiences when I learned how to say no to doctors when needbe.
Hannah, sounds like you had a very similar experience to me. I've been looking through all these stories online of people losing mobility in their limbs on these drugs, but nothing close to the insanity I experienced - until I read your comment. I still have the urge to claw myself (to claw my own head), and it's been months since using the psychiatric drug I was given. I've found that natural things like getting some physical touch (massages if possible) have been the most helpful thing for alleviating my impulses, like the urge to claw my own scalp. Truth be told, I really don't get a lot of physical contact (which is probably vital for mental health) and that's probably something a lot of people can relate to in our society.
So here's my story: I tried Seroquel a few times, just a small dose (25mg). I know that's an antipsychotic and not an SSRI, but who cares at this point.. It took about 20-30 minutes for my Seroquel to kick in.. and when it kicked in, what I experienced was.. how should I put it.. A panic/anxiety attack that was a hundred trillion times worse than anything I'd ever experienced before. It felt like my brain was spiraling into an abyss of pain, and I laid in bed paralyzed with my eyes closed, just suffering as this drug made my head spiral and spiral.. I wanted to run away from what was going on in my own head. It truly did feel like a horror beyond words. I had no idea these drugs were so powerful, in such a monstrous way. A torment, a fire in the pit of my brain.
And I also think I have PTSD now simply because I relive/recall how it felt to try that drug. I relive it every day. I relive being in the ward when I tried it. I think the problem was, I was already in a very dark place (I was self harming and more), and this psychiatric drug just OPENED MY BRAIN UP - opened up scars that should not have been opened. Absolute overwhelming insanity is what I felt - I wanted to jump out the 12th story window I was living in. I had to grab on as tightly as I could to my bed to resist the temptation to go over to the window and jump. I experienced something similar when I tried weed actually, but the Seroquel was more potent. The difference was, the weed experience had positives too - I could find some sense of enjoyment in it, whereas the Seroquel was just HELL.
Now after using that drug, I have problems that I didn't have before.. I live in Canada, and the winter didn't used to bother me much.. but now when I look outside my window at the winter landscape, I get this absolutely soulcrushing depression and sense of going insane. I look at my balcony railings and feel like I'm trapped in a prison. I really can't describe it. And this is like 2-4 months after I tried the Seroquel. I am horrified at what this drug has turned me into. God, I am so sorry - I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
I also tried a small dose of some Benzodiazepine once while I was at the ward, and I had the same exact experience to the Seroquel.. No difference whatsoever. I think it doesn't matter which of these drugs you take, each of them will probably do this. It's probably just similar stuff under a different name. And yeah, when I tried to tell a psychiatrist about it, she kept pushing and pushing me to try a different medication or insisting I have to try it for longer. Like are you freaking kidding me? I tried the pill a couple times and it did that, and you want me to try it for LONGER? For months???? Do these people even try their own medications? The fact that these people don't know HOW HORRIFIC IT WAS makes me never want to go near that psychiatry clinic again, or anywhere near another one of those pills or anyone who pushes them.
@@breakingfree7244 oh my gawwwwwd you poor thing!!!
Oh oh and the 12 story thing!!!
I experienced the same thing (only at my hospital I was five stories up, not twelve, but still, lol).
So the horrific psychotic reaction has happened to me four different times from four different drugs, and one of the times that it happened was when I had a four day migraine and went to the hospital (where my neurologist's office was).
Man, to have a four day migraine and go to the hospital only to experience the psychotic HELL (and in the end they didn't even kill my migraine, I still had it for two more days).
Anyway where I'm getting at that you reminded me of, is when I had the reaction that time, I had to keep clinging to the chair and fighting the INTENSE urge to run to a window and jump out (my GAWD that drugs can do that to us!!!!!!!!!!).
I mean there were lots of urges, clawing and and all that awful violent crap, but the fact that I ALMOST ran to find a window to jump out (oh and was to be sure and jump head first so I can die on impact and thus end the madness that much faster) takes the cake.
Well just know you are NOT alone!!!
I felt (and often still feel) so alone, but no this kind of horror has happened to a lot of us.
That's something I remind myself, b/c after going through things like this for so long and often having medical ppl make me feel invalidated, it can make me start to feel like I'm crazy or that I'm somehow making it up.
But I'm not.
I know I'm not.
There are some out there who will believe you, so that's good to be reminded of.
Imagine that our life was a movie, the audience would be rooting for us and watching our journey that often has suspense and comedy and horror and drama.
Sometimes being playful and imaginative and thinking of my life as a movie, helps me. :)
You don’t have ptsd chill out.
Most of the people who suffer from anxiety and depression has an b12,b5,b6,b9, d3, omega3, vitamin c,magnesium, zinc and iron deficiency, you have to balance the vitamins and minerals you put in your body to fix the brain fog and to balance your mood so your taughs can be more clare, all thoese things are beneficial for your mental health, you wouldn't feel the effects right away but in 3 months of taking all of the vitamins I juss explained, you will start to feel a huge diffrence, but don't take all at once, every 12 hours you take 3 different vitamins, also meditation, learn to breed like 6 times per minute, when you wake up bathe with cold water, let your eyes get natrual early morning sun light, wash your face with cold water often, and most importantly you make sure and pray and ask the lord to heal you mentally, physically and spiritually.
What the woman says is true. For people with severe depression the benefits outweigh the risks. My life is miserable, I have been in a dark suicidal depression since my teenage years. Have gone unmedicated for 10 years and it was the worst. I'm only in my twenties but feel like my life is worthless and that I can't get out of this. I've lost relationships, friends, and dopped out of university cause it had all become a worthless mess. So, I sought out a psychiatrist a year ago. Currently I'm on 300 mg of bupropion in the mornings + 30 mg mirtazapine in the night (similar to the Californian Rocket Fuel cocktail of venlafaxine+mirtazapine). I don't know if it's working, but I'm going to have to persevere. I have a illness that is trying to kill me. I don't have a choice to stay unmedicated anymore, I will die. I'm sure of it.
I take Wellbutrin and remeron as well. I have gained 40 lbs and my hair has become very very thin.
The way I absolutely relate to your comment. I hope we all get the help we do desperately need and that things get better for you.
I'm nowhere near depressed but I'm always curious to know if people try getting to the core cause and then work from there. I can only speak as an outsider but is it so bad that taking one's life would be the only solution?
@@priyakumar61 Selling addictive and dangerous drugs does not qualify as "help".

Watch "who cares in sweden", its on youtube.
You’re not going to have much of any effect from an antidepressant until you’ve been on it for 3 weeks or so, they take awhile to build up in the body. You also might just not be on one that’s a good fit for you, it can take a bit of trial and error to find the medicine that works for you.

@@lori311 dont sell this monster drugs
Keep in mind that side effects this severe are exceedingly rare. The ones you really need to be on the lookout for is paradoxical reactions where an antidepressant can increase suicidal thoughts. I’ve been on antidepressants for over 3 years now and I can personally say that they have been really helpful for me. I have severe depression and OCD, and going on medication has overall been really good for me.

Man, i wish I never touched antidepressants. 20 years of complete limbo, building up pressure, day by day.
What do you mean limbo ?
@@trisstynwilliams6388 for me, and i can only speak on my experience, antideppresants caused me to withdraw from actions in life that i would have, without antideppresants, most likely acted upon. For example, when your mind in focusing on a goal in life, and the fear and stress you feel about taking steps to achieve that goal cause you to feel anxious, this too often enterpreted by as an "anxiety disorder". This point is where you could take two paths: a doctor will most likely put you on the antideppresants path, to block those thoughts causing anxiety. But, on that path, they are altering your brain to not send messages to you to act upon that goal, putting you in a state of aimlessness. You have 2 choices: you can face those fears and make steps to achieve that goal without pills, weather the fears and stress, and address that goal, and that particular stress and anxiety will subside. Or, you can take a pill, that sedates you, and that goal will most likely never get ddressed. Unfortunately, we, the ignorant person going to a doctor, are not aware that we are actually taking this path, we hear "antideppresant" and think "oh that sounds nice, no depression, I can achieve my goals without ever feeling depressed ". The psychiatric industry developed this model of disease based treatment (you are schizophrenic , bipolar, anxiety disorder etc... ) to fight against doctors who were revealing the fraudulent nature of the industry, as far back as the 1950s. Antideppresants should only be used in severe cases of psychosis, for the duration of that illness. Not given to anybody who has some anxiety.
Thank you , that was super informative. I was thinking about getting on some but after listening to your experiences and just doing alittle research seems like I’m better off without them.
@@trisstynwilliams6388 oh that's good. I would suggest talking to a phycologist if things are hard. That way you getting beneficial support, but are not being sedated. Also know that getting off antideppresants in a way harder than getting off heroin, as it can take years. I've been tapering for half a year now, and I'm basically withdrawaling every day. I've tried to get off them 3 times without success. It's very scary. But I know what's going on now so I'm determined.
@@markeric1337 I’m sorry to hear the struggle and the difficulty tht you have experienced due to these antidepressants. I did not know any of this. I am sending some encouragement and I have faith that you will also overcome this . I feel doctors should tell the negative the most, when asked they push it to the side like it’s 1 percent when most people experience terrible side effects .
When antidepressants start to work, they make you feel like it's not all that bad, really they can cause more damage when trying to come off them. Had problem? Now, you have a bigger problem. I have been antidepressants for 15 years, but now I really see how dangerous they are. Almost died due to withdrawal problems, and nobody was around, I myself wasn't "around".
Are u on antidepressants

what happened? did you ever manage to get off them with professional assistance?
How are you now?
Exactly. We'll written thanks
Escitalopram/Lexapro pretty much drove me over the edge. Muscle spasms, no sleeping, incredibly horrible digestive issues, suicidal thoughts kept getting worse everyday
I had a horrible reaction to escitalopram as well. I have been off for just about 3 months and not doing well at all. My gut is a mess. I just want the good Lord to take me home.
I was on Lexapro for several years-caused insomnia, unreasonable anger (rage) weight gain, it was very hard to wean off (no one tells you that when you start taking them) I cut the pill in half, then quarters, then skipped days until I finally just stopped taking them. My depression is back but I refuse to put that crap in my body again.
@@annmartin9357 I am sorry you are going through this. I, like you will never take escitalopram again. My physical health is so bad I don't know if I will ever get better. One of my problems is my mouth is an absolute mess and I am in constant pain. It is very dry as well. Escitalopram is the 2nd antidepressant I reacted badly to. Escitalopram was definitely the worst reaction. I am afraid to try another one.
@@annmartin9357 hope all is well now.
I was on bromazepam for few months..only it just mess up my gut..I told myself that I am stronger than my anxiety and I will never take ever have to take meds 💊 again
I took a very reasonable amount of benzos over a very short course. 1/4 or 1/3 of a pill every over day, sometimes less frequently for a few months with long breaks in between.
I was a real mess when I tried to stop. I'm talking withdrawal symptoms, bed ridden, heavy sweating, suicidal thoughts. And that's with such little amount of this monstrous drug in my system
I only had a small amount too (just 25mg, only tried it a few times). Absolutely horrific experience. I think the same thing to myself - wish I never had these monstrous substances in me, messing up my brain chemistry.
benzodiazepamines are not antidepressants.
Iv been treated with Anti depression course of 3 month. It healed me .. i found no problem with it
My doctor gave me anti depressants, I tried to commit one week later, I went back and said I don’t feel good and they say oh forgot to tell you first two weeks you will feel very suicidal
Anti depressants are fucked. I challenge anyone who takes them to ask your doctor to tell you exactly the ingredients and exactly what each of those do and have the science to back it up, I bet you’ll walk out of there with no prescription
Just an update to anyone who reads this, I’ve been taking 5-HTP for 2 weeks now and my sleep appetite and mood have drastically improved. My doctor knew about it but went a little weird when I asked why they never suggest I try it
Wow, i had the same experience. One week of SSRI's and i was having these kind of crazy thoughts of self harm and suicide, i never felt this way before in my life. When i asked my doc, he said he has never heard of this side effect (TOTAL LIES). I'm off it completely and i'm much better. I think he just diagnosed me as "depressed" to get me on the pills. I'm sure it helps a lot of people but it was def not for me, never taking them again. I'm lucky i got off them in a week so there was no chance of withdrawals or dependency.
I've been extremely anxious and depressed for a long time now but I know the psychological issues I have that cause this and they are from my childhood, the fact that I've always been very sensitive and the very tough life experiences and very difficult circumstances I'm in now. However, I was never suicidal until I was put on mirtazapine and for the 10 days I was on it I spent every waking minute frantically thinking of how to kill myself ( I mean with real urgency ) I was completely overtaken with this crazy compulsion, I was literally standing on the window ledge many times a day fighting not to jump, climbing trees with homemade nooses, etc, I very nearly hanged myself but I got out of the washing line noose at the last minute, it left a purple mark around my neck for days..
By day 10 I had sourced drugs and overdosed only to wake up in intensive care with tubes everywhere.
I'm still in hell with anxiety/depression 5 months on but though I've little will to live I don't plan suicide. Psychiatrist still offering antidepressants and antipsychotics but I'm terrified of all these drugs now. All those I've tried apart from mirtazapine have given me no relief just nasty side-effects. I really don't know what to do. Any natural alternatives I try don't work but atleast they don't give these horrible side-effects. I have no emotional support, I can barely eat or sleep and I'm stuck living in a very difficult situation that I can't get out of. The only advice I get from everyone I ask for help is to take the medication I'm offered and keep trying til I find which meds work but I'm absolutely terrified of these meds now.
@@anandjai92 my psychiatrist invalidates my claims of side-effects from all the different drugs she keeps giving me and totally denies withdrawals happen . I know because I experience them. I'm really struggling but these drugs have only made my anxiety worse and added horrible other side-effects. I'm at my wits end. I just need something to sleep at night( for more than an hour or so which is all I'm getting)for a week or so but she won't give me any benzodiazipines even for a week with a taper off after it, because I had an opioid addiction history. All I'm offered for sleep is antidepressants and antipsychotics which either don't work at all or give me intolerable side-effects.
@@anandjai92 I got crazy compulsion to end my life, from taking mirtazapine antidepressant..i was very anxious/ depressed before I took it but I never had the insane fight to stop myself killing myself like that mirtazapine gave me.
My mum was on anti depressants, it made her hand and fingers stiff and swollen up in the morning, mum would wake up in tears and not even know why the tears came down ,I know what those feeling are like ,didn't feel like myself anymore, glad I don't take any now but I still feel affected by it up till now bin several years I ent bin on meds 😢 but my inner strength and soul pushes to brake threw stages of severe depression

i was on anti deppressants through 2021 and man, worst year of my life. the side effects was so bad i considered suicide, murder, terrorism and did real bad stuff like burning down a truck garage, blowing up stuff like trash cans, trampolines (with large amounts of firecrackers) out of anger and hate, threatened to kill a guy who was gonna show up on my local train station, but he would cancel his visit the day before, i have bullied people, lost many friends, burnt my arms many times purposefully, started a fire on a big spruce in a forest that i eventually put out because i had somewhat some sense in me, broken into other people’s backyard properties and stolen. after quitting it has been better
YES Exactly the same for me, I got into so much trouble with the police and almost went to jail, I honestly think the people who gave me it should be in prison, I still want to get a lawyer even though it's been about 7 months since I've been off it, this is not acceptable/

finally got of antidepressants after 5 years. prozac was why i was feeling like a zombie and had ADD-like symptoms, unable to even go to school (im 15 btw). ssris increase serotonin but that compromises dopamine, the chemical that gives you motivation to complete tasks and the ability to enjoy things. unironically made me go from an edgy 10-year-old to having real depression.
How
True... the exact same happened to me... after only like a month of being on zoloft my ability to concentrate decreased rapidly and I started falling off even though i was like at the top 3 of my batch in college... after about a year I lost all ability to concentrate and was diagnosed with adhd even though I never had it in my life. Only after antidepressants... it really sucks

Sertraline made me go off the rails in all ways, ruined my sex drive (recovered), got into trouble with the law twice, 3 hospitalisations and played a big part in damaging many friendships/relationships. I was only on this sad excuse of a 'medicine' for 8 weeks. I should've just stopped here, I'm an idiot.
Citalopram came along next. Same shit as sertraline with more trouble with police but I'd feel sick all the time and made me become more delusional than usual.
Mirtazapine was the last straw. Right off the first dose I was in and out of bed every 5 minutes pacing around with restless legs. I was extremely iritable and I'd completely snap at the slightest thing. I was told by my GP I'd be sleeping, eating and being more able to function in my life. Nope.
I just keep getting worse, the GP's just kept changing my doses and 'medication'.
I'm becoming increasingly fed upand desperate so I know it won't be long before I start taking matters into my own hands again. I'm desperate to have an independent life, I want freedom because this is starting to feel like some sort of prison.
I tried antidepressants and on the long run, they always left me in a worse condition.Then I found the Microdosing shrooms,it called a hat to my anxiety and depression that persisted for three years.
Evil psychiatry
Mafia is more honest than psychiatry
Most depression cases are related to a lifestyle or environmental problems: poverty, drug abuse, population disenfranchisement, etc.
Glad someone said this ❤
Exactly. If they truly wanted to help you, they'd address those issues, instead of pumping lucrative poison into you.
Wtf. Those drugs made me think zombies was coming from the ground. The antipsychotics made me run in the middle of traffic.
That is so true. They gave me 600mgs of seroquel for sleep. Aside from massive weight gain it caused all the things it was supposed to cure. I'd never in my life saw a person that wasn't there before using that drug. Still they didn't care. I didn't know I was a walking shell of a person. The worst poison to mankind.
Remember. Just because someone is nice towards you doesn't necessarily mean they have your best interest at heart. And please research your meds prior to taking them. In this so called search for the right medication for you? What are all of these different medications doing to your body and brain?!
That's so sad. Doesn't it hurt to know your Dr would do that to you and all the other patients every day all day long?
@@lyndayates7533 fun fact: seroquel 600 is an antipsychotic dose and not a hypnotic dose. there is a chance your episode was due to an evolution of ur psychosis, rather than the drug itself.

As a student of pharmacology I can tell you that ALL psychotropics WILL cause dependence eventually (and some will cause addiction). Not may, not might, not could. They WILL make you dependent if you take them long enough. How long is "long enough" to cause dependence varies from person to person.
What is your advice then?

These medications work by nulling any sensation of threat or danger so of course you can feel better. However you NEED to have a sense of danger just like you need to feel pain.
No they do not. Some might have that experience. However it is not clear at all how SSRI’s interact and affect people, as far as I know.

@@Shekina-0 Yeah I agree that drugs have side effects, since writing the original comment I've been on antidepressants for 4 months, for me it just slightly changed the way I experienced life, however if I didn't know I was taking them I wouldn't have noticed. For me they basically did nothing, for others they give terrible side effects, but there's also a lot of people who seem to really benefit from antidepressants. People need to stop having opinions on molecules cause they interact in some way with your nervous system. There are no black and white answers with drugs, it is all grey area.
People have a right to make an informed decision. There's enough "this pill will solve your problems and make you happy" commercials nothing wrong with ppl knowing the other very possible side of things.
I went on them at 14 for some mild/moderate social anxiety and they made me so tired all I did was sleep all day and put on tons of weight and have no libido. So, the doctor kept changing the pills and adding more and more until I was a diabetic zombie on an huge cocktail of meds and had to go on disability.
Now, I’m 55, no money, no friends, no family and an autoimmune condition (probably) from all the pills and being bedridden for decades. I’m off the meds, but physically sick from the med damage and have chronic insomnia.
There went my life! 🙋🏻♀ I hope that happens to the psychiatrists who treated me and their kids and grandkids too, so maybe they can grow some empathy and learn to think outside the box and be more careful.
So what I am going to do? Live with this shitty sickness for the rest of my life? There is no cure. Well thanks for that

All medicines have side effects, some people face more side effects than the others. You just cherry picked the people with the worst side effects. Stop misleading people. Going to a psychiatrist and taking antidepressants was one of the best decisions of my life, years of suffering went away, my life finally went back on the track. I took antidepressants for almost 2 years, earlier it was heavy dose for a month or two because of which I used to sleep a lot....but after that I was on a very low dose..... eventually things got better and after 2 years of regular medication my doctor told me to stop the meds. It's been over one year since my medicine stopped and I have never felt better.
STOP MISLEADING PEOPLE. GET HELP WHEN YOU KNOW YOU NEED IT. TAKE YOUR MEDS.
You take your meds. You sound like you have no idea what your talking about. I know two people who took these antidepressants and they killed themselves. These medications caused me the worst issues and they made me lose my life. You only say that now because your blind. Or your just taking a very low dose. Not trying to be rude or mean just warning you. You’ll really thank me later .
@@Duskflowers hey! I know you are not trying to be rude :) It's been over one year since I took my last anti-depressant.

Did you do some kind of therapy beside?

May be go and do some research in to how SSRIs are causing PSSD in thousands of people and how many lives have been destroyed because of it. Its about time people woke up to the damage these pills are causing.
Yeah same. I suffered from bad anxiety and a small dose of Sertraline actually helped me sort through my thoughts and understand there isn't danger in everything. A bad doctor would start you off at a high dose and that's probably where the problems can arise and that's probably why people experience horrible symptoms. It's safe to start small
I was taking antidepressants and although they made me much more chilled & stopped me over thinking everything, they ruined my libido & had to switch away from SSRIS. This is barely mentioned as a side effect but can ruin your marriage etc & how you see yourself.
Well, I’ve been on anti depressants since I was 13 so I don’t know if they’re working or not. Maybe they’re worsening my symptoms instead of curing them, but I guess I’ll never know.
They give them to 2 to 5 year olds! All foster children. Pregnant women and teenagers who are going through natural hormone changes. I mean what child doesn't have moods? Look it up. The number of children on these meds will make you sick.

I started taking paxil at 15 years old for social anxiety disorder at 20 mg . I didn't understand why I was getting prescribed an anti depressant when I was really not depressed, I was living in fear everyday, not depressed. I thought that might cause problems and later in life it really did. I went from 20 mg to the maximum dose, 60 mg, later in my life. I am 37 now and In the last year, i very slowly, which is really important if withrawing, went down from 60 mg to 20 mg and I will eventually stop it for good, which I thought I would never be able to do because everytime I tried to quit, it was just getting worse. I tried quitting for years but trying to quit cold turkey or too fast is 1 of the worst nightmares I went through. I also learned that eating and digesting food creates serotonin and a problem that I had for years was eating before I was going to bed, also with only having moved around very little all day, which logicaly made me understand that I wouldn't digest a lot at night, then I wouldn't be hungry during the day so I wouldn't eat during the day, so I wouldn't secrete serotonin during the day, so I would have no energy, I didn't even have the energy to take my shower. Not spending energy during the day made me sleepless at night and eating before going to bed made the cycle keep going. Leave yourself 3 to 4 hours to digest before going to bed is best and whether it's best for you to take your meds earlier or later during the day, the most important is to take them at the same time everyday to avoid an imbalance which is 1 if not the main reason to take ssri's. Taking paxil really helped me, even saved my life. It blocked a lot of my fears but also took away a lot of my emotions which I figured out, had everything to do with my motivation. To me, taking paxil was lifes way of helping me confront my fears and stop me from ruining my life and others with my irresponsible behaviors. I hope with all my heart that my experiences will help you and others. Thank you so much for taking the time to have read my book of a comment lol
I've tried fluoxetine, sertraline, escitolopram, paroxetine. No help, only, at least, unpleasant side effects. About three decades ago, as a student, I was taking doxepin. It's a tricyclic and should have, as they said more serious side effects. Controversially, it was only antidepressants that helped me and practically no side effects. I think SSRI are on a dead-end street. Just take a look at the list of about fifty antidepressants in the final clinical trials phases. How many SSRI? I think one, maybe with combination SSRI - SNRI a few more. Is it the end of SSRI as a "gold standard"?
doxepine u try to combine it with alcohol after u were no longer depressed? i was prescribe this too after a lot of no help but im scared cause its tricyclic … what dose u are on ?

Well I have had a great experience with them. Each person is different I guess. But for me, after getting onto the right drug, it put to an end (to a large degree) years of struggle with anxiety.
I believe Xanax would be better for me since I used to take them when I was a drug addict. If I took a low-dose, I had so much confidence and I was instantly happy. But at the same time I did get really addicted to them and I would fall on my face and get seizures from not taking them. But I’m one of those people that never goes to the doctor. So if I do try to get help whoever is my doctor would have your hands full with me
Keep telling yourself that, in reality you're just a zombie taking drugs to feel happy. SSRIs take your soul away from you and you don't enjoy the highs and lows as you use to, they make you not care.

I tried to end it all earlier this year and it only made people in my life more distant.. I just don't know how to get better, I'm so sick and weak with no sleep or relief on any kind for over 7 months now. Every day is living hell.
I'm sorry to hear what these toxic meds did to you.. I wish you could sue the manufacturers and prescriber that did that to you
@@Duskflowers the problem is that I'm completely alone. I have no support and I'm stuck in a a very difficult situation/environment.
Antidepressants should be banned
@@Mikisworld2000 why??
I took prozac again after it trumatised me before with psychosis symptoms. I didnt sleep for 3 days after literally one pill and kept hallucinating shadow figires and having complete black out paralysis where I could barely speak or move. Im glad I didnt try to force myself again.
Get on immediately with Dr. Charles, popularly known as charlesmyco.
He's on instagram for further inquiries.
@charlesmyco_
How are you now?
Those ruined my life😪😪
@Mr Hater how many dosage of Zoloft are you on? 😄
How so?
@Mr Hater haha... i thought the same when i was a few months in on it... just wait a couple of years and see how missed up ur life will get
@@m.bition3769 It's such a demonic drug. The first few times you take it you get relaxed and feel pretty good, you might smile a bit and act a little silly. Then 2 months later you're outside with a tree branch trying to murder people in the middle of the night (true story by the way, thats what i did on it)
When she says that you need to find a certain kind that doesn't really make sense given the mechanism by which SSRIs work. They all should have the same effect since they are classified as the same drug regardless of the brand.
Yes they do. High serotonin in the human brain=Suicidal thoughts
Same thing with animals. They have even tested this on rats. So why the fuck do they give these drugs to humans when they know it makes other animals suicidal?
They put you on/off different medications until you develop psychosis due to the mess that the switches create, so they can upgrade to antipsychotics and in case you are acting out too much, put the label schizophrenia on you and take away your rights to drug you up endlessly and/or lock you away. But you don't care anymore because at that point you are spaced out too much. In case the patient has children, they set up the best scenario for future clients, because those are traumatized by what happend to their parent. Then we tell the public that mental disorders are genetic and caused by an imbalance in the brain. Perfect scam, and snowball system.
Unfortunately that is not the way they work. Years ago I took Prozac and had no problems. Recently I took escitalopram, another SSRI and have had horrendous life changing side effects. They are both SSRIs, but they are still different drugs. Not all antibiotics are the same, even though they are all supposed to fight infection. In the same way not all SSRIs are the same.
I’ve been on 15 different antidepressants for the recommended time period. Now I’m on cymbalta. No bad side effects but I’m still very sad most of the time
Something needs to be done about this narcotics, it has affected many lifes already and is not going to stop
These ruined my little brother
I will forever hate my moms decision on therapy
I recently started antidepressants because how bad I’ve been it hit me on first day very emotionally blunt had a bad reaction stopped after 3 days my withdraw is horrible
@Scott Anderson can I contact you? Do you have twitter?
Try the "Lion Diet"! Check out Makila Petersons channel.
I will never take these poisons
@Mr Hater changed in what way?
@Mr Hater You have no clue how depression works, the moment they hop off the drug. it will make them take their life.
@@carnistpolice Yes this is very true, I took it for 2 weeks and it made me suicidal the moment I got off it and it stayed that way for 4 OR 5 MONTHS! That is a very long time, I kept running outside and got into fights with random people on the streets
im trying to get my mom off shit like this God damnit she's changing
My sister too :( it sux seeing a loved one being affected
They are have terrible withdrawal effects worse than many illegal drugs.
@@befree3101 True,cocaine gave me less problems! Antidepressants caused me severe and permanent brain damage!
@@lucaspalumbo1062how permanent ??!how you know it?
Because when we are given medicine to 'be happy' but the root of our sadness is never dealt with it only masks the depression and others feel the happiness is 'fake' so what Ive seen with myself taking medication the real issues ended up being neglected and avoided. The mind cant lice seperately from the heart and body trauma. They need to be united to find true peace which is what creates true happiness...it is a sense of peace in your body, mind and heart.
Live* not lice
And when ones body, mind and heart are in balance they can be strong enough to utilize and use their strengths, knowledge and skills to have a successfully balanced life. That equals peace.
mianserine , the minimal dose gave me joints and muscle pain . i started using it 4 weeks ago for anxiety and insomnia. it is hard to find anything about this topic in the literature. also i expected to find more shared experiences online
Google the history of psychiatry. They used the term chemical imbalance so that people would start to take them serious. You won't believe what you see. I hope you find and watch it.
Are you still using it
How did you cure your insomnia
I'm dying every day. I was on many drugs for my OCD and then they misdiagnosed me with bipolar put me on many other drugs my life is over. It's been six months. I am off my meds, but it's like nightmare😢 Akhatisia,anhedonia, cognitive impairment, insomnia, DPDR, racing thoughts, and severe mood swings،Hyper sensitive nervous system I'm getting worse every day. I can't take it anymore 😢😢 I really want to live, but I can't take it anymore. I am so close to suside everyday.
Do yourself a HUGE Favor! Cut out Carbs and Sugar, wean yourself off the meds, and I promise a Miracle in your life. Fix your Gut, heal your mind! Quit listening to all the Doctors in bed with Big Pharma. 2 Months into a Keto Diet and I FEEL AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Antidepressants kill.
ik i was dying
So does depression!
Well, I feel worse without taking medication. They are not for everyone but some need them and some don't. Just know your own body and how it reacts to certain chemicals.
They are dogshit. Have fun in a few years when the side effects hit.
You take a low dose or your lying. Those medications are literally poisonous.
@Oldman Cigar I have severe depression and mine help me
Try natural remedies
I was on Prozac for five years I kept telling the VA what was going on and they kept upping the dosage. I took 40 mg of Prozac for four years during that time I lost everything I’ve been off Prozac for two weeks now and I am on another antidepressant looking back. It’s all gone everything my marriage, my family.
How are you doing? My marriage is nearly ended due to anti depressant use.
Perhaps more time should be spent on identifying and alleviating the causes of depression rather than simply masking it with drugs? That said, in some cases such as the lose of a loved one nothing is going to help.
why do you risk side effects when you are not even depressed enough? For most people It's working good
The side effects are so downplayed. It's not just oh you might get a headache, you might feel dizzy.
I've seen horrible things in psychiatric hospitals caused from these medications so stupidly more intense than a headache. The stuff really is so dangerous and the availability of it and the willingness of psychiatric doctors to prescribed it with so little concern about the side effects, down playing them so much, it's just really not okay. The stuff can ruin lives. Almost ruined mine at least a thousand times because of this involuntary movement disorder. Literally almost killed me.
Honestly if you take this,you go from stress to depressed and mental it's fkd
I go to the gym, I eat well, and it's surreal how antidepressants affect my metabolism, I couldn't lose weight at all, on the contrary, I actually bloated and gained more weight, I'm vain and I was getting desperate, I just weaned 1 month ago I'm already losing fat and gaining muscle mass, it seems like a miracle
One year on antidepressants and my life is ruined. You will Not get enough support from nhs. It's not an emergency, book three weeks in advance. Help with this? You are better off with none of those but look on you tube what other things actually help. What food rather than beeing unable to eat with antidepressants and protect yourself from stress as much as possible. And do exercise which you won't beфble to do if you are on antidepressants
Your life is not ruined! If you believe it is then it will be. You've only been on them 1 year!
@@user-ct1vo2sd3v Believing in the positive is not going to cure you from antidepressants/antipsycotics. Many people are actually permanently sick because of medication. For ever!
Protecting yourself from stress is exactly what anxiety is about. It gets worse and worse to the point that person is completely paralysed and unable to do anything...
Yes. Anti depressants can make you more sick (both mentally and physically) than ever. I took them 13 years ago during my student days. Now I have many more problems than just depression. I got chronic fatigue because of it. I can't do anything or enjoy anything due to that. I am always tired. Can't study or job do any job. Office you have depression, please try to cure it by other methods. Tablets may not work as you expect.
Write to usfda demand ban on antidepressants
Go to news and media
Anti depressants helped me tremendously. Along with seroquel.
Which one did you take?
@@amandabr9562 it's called cipralex. Didn't help until i had been on 20 mg for some months.
@@whatwhat3432523 Thank you responding. That's great you're doing better
@@amandabr9562 No problem, and thank you.
I'm not being suicidal anymore after taking these treatments
There is a small percentage(2%) of people where anti depressants are bad/toxic. Careful prescribing with gradual dosing helps. But for 75% of people they are significantly helpful although there can be a short period of negative side effects before the benefits which might be 2 or 3 weeks.
Tried 3 different ones, my psychiatrist gave up on me. That's next level depression for ya
Depression is caused by too much serotonin, not too little. This is why antidepressants never solve the issue and always make it worse.
You can reduce your serotonin by simply cutting out starch, just eat fruit and meat and see the difference. You will feel better, don't eat bread, rice, pasta, cereal and don't drink milk, all these things push more serotonin into your brain
@@User-pz4re cheers for the advice I'll give it a go king
@@User-pz4re no. depression is caused by both of them. ways to help you feel better with depression can be:
trying different medications (you can do it!)
getting mental help from a mental professional (therapist, counselor, psychiatrist)
also, no. starch doesn’t cause more serotonin to be pushed to the brain.
@@hyejusleftlung Starch increases gut serotonin especially if it isn't digested fast enough, many people who take potato starch/resistant starch supplements report that their libido has gone down and they get suicidal thoughts, pretty much identical to that of ssris, when it comes to side effects. This is why people with PSSD are told to avoid potato starch
@@User-pz4re there is no such thing as “gut serotonin”. there is only serotonin in the brain
What are you people talking about?
I had a full week of day by day panic attacks COULD NOT BREATH evey day the panic attack was MORE SEVERE. WITHOUT MEDICATION. I lived alone! I went 15hr in emergency hospital to tell me that i have no problem with my body BUT MY MIND. After taking SNRI FOR THREE MONTHS IT CHANGED MY LIFE INTO BETTER. I COULD EASILY SAY IT SAVED MY LIFE. And that’s an honest opinion.
Bye.
I take Lexapro. It helps me, but it is not to be taken lightly. I have to monitor myself.
When I was on prozac I was “convinced I was possessed by the devil”. All day I was laying on the ground, screaming and spitting. And I also had those seizure-like symptoms. The worst part is that my doctor gaslighted me for 6 years, saying it wasn’t from the medication.
I'm not going to issue anymore stupid threats, but I hope that everybody who works in the psychiatric industry knows that there will come a day where you all will have to pay for what you've done to people..And there might be like some Nuremberg 2.0 style trials for you guys, and there could be some very serious consequences for you..
Im fucked without them eh. Ive had 4 different types I think. First one was awful, the rest have helped with minimal side effects.
Antidepressants can cause permanent sexual disorders (PSSD syndrome)
Even faverin for a month can cause it?!
I do not wish to invalidate any of these people’s experiences.
But please just know that SSRI medications work for many people (myself included)
They’re not for everyone ofc, but just because it didn’t work for these people doesn’t mean they’re bad drugs :)
prozac was mild compared to paxil. Paxil made me manic - do not take SSRI's SNRI's if you do not have real depression. especially if you have ADHD and doctors think it's depression because you're irritable and mis-behaved. While on Paxil, I helped my parent put my childhood dog down and didn't cry. At all. so... when I finally quit paxil, I finally felt the pain but my brain could not link it to the times I SHOULD HAVE CRIED THEN. literally the only good thing it helped with was jumping out of bed in the early morning like I was on crack.
Is just me or do they not have combs and bushes in the UK?
