Thanks for sharing your positive experience. I was dreading the side effects and not expecting them to do anything positive for at least a week, but since taking my first pill yesterday I've been feeling slightly better already. Actually, yesterday I genuinely felt good. Almost too good. Side effects are minimal so far as well. I'm aware it's too early to make any conclusions, but I feel hopeful now. I'm taking any bit of happiness and sanity I can get.
I start tomorrow.. 20mg / day... I really fail to see how my anxiety could spike much higher... I spend most days living in a non stop panic attack.. Be curious to compare your experience with mine as you go along... Please give updates *BARRY* 🎉
@@barry5580 Hi Barry, I'd like to hear your experiences as well. Good luck with it. I started straight away with 50mg. My depression/anxiety probably weren't as bad as yours to begin with but enough to make me dysfunctional in my day to day life. It's day 3 now and it's too early to say much about today, although so far I feel slightly better than yesterday. Day 2 was worse than day 1. The side effects spiked. Short term memory plummeted and I felt kind of surreal and emotionally flat. Nothing unbearable, though and I'm still hopeful about this medication. I'm striving to actively recover too and I'm not living in the illusion that if I just take the pill and sit back everything will change. I challenge myself to stay active and implement other beneficial lifestyle habits.
My Dr put me at 'ease' too. She suggested I go on SSRIs, benzos and sleeping pills for 6 months for panic attacks. She reassured me that there are no side effects. Hahahaha I decided to not take anything and naturally got better. Turns out I also had low blood sugar too
I wouldn’t put stigma on these drugs because you personally had a bad experience. Literally all drugs have side effects that range from feeling completely fine to severe but usually ssris have really mild side effects that go away after 1-2 weeks. Of which when taken solely work great for many people with anxiety disorders. Benzodiazepines are a different type of drug which are only used for Extreme cases cause of the severe side effects. so your doctor putting you on all three of those drugs at the same time is literally insane so please get a new doc lmao.
@@TheeAbrahamLincoln well I didn't personally have a bad experience with the drugs, I didn't even take the drugs and recovered naturally. This is not an isolated story though, this is how the whole system works. People became addicted to opioids after being perscribed FDA approved medication by their doctors without even asking for it. All drugs have side effects but these side effects are literally the very conditions they are trying to treat. In the long run, those who are prescribed but don't take the drugs are better off than those who do. There's also the issue that if something goes wrong, the patient is blamed so there is no accountability. "You had a bad experience". The black box warnings were put by companied after they lost in court and were forced to do so. They kept denying that the medication can cause the serious harm they do.
@@extrastout1741 what ur saying it actually highly untrue and it’s really dumb (not calling u yourself dumb) to make blanket statements about “drugs” in general when 100 years of research and studies have proven the effectiveness of psychiatric medication. It’s important to understand biochem so that u actually know what these medicines are doing. My life changed once I began taking sertraline and vyvance for my adhd and depression/ptsd about 2 years ago and ever since my life has got better. But not even my own anecdote but statistically people who don’t receive treatment for there mental heath are more like to suffer with age not get better. I know this from personal experience as someone with a family history of mental illness of which destroyed my family me seeking treatment has made me not follow in that cycle.
@@TheeAbrahamLincoln can you point me out to the studies? The chemical imbalance theory was debunked, the opioid epidemic was caused by perscribed medication and the black box warnings were ordered to be put as the companies were denying the side effects. There is a severe lack of informed consent.
@@TheeAbrahamLincoln I am not against the medication just think people aren't given enough info. At the end of the day what matters is that we are both doing better. 💙🤍💙
Before trying mushrooms, consider this. An improper dose of psilocybin could give you a psychotic episode. It’s something you need to research a lot before taking safely if you are depressed (especially if you’re already taking an SSRI). Try to get a good psychologist if you haven’t already. In the meantime, look up Wim Hof breathing exercise. It always lifts my mood :)
I used to take effexor was like zombe, taken wellbutrin nearly twenty years but they made me tired apathetic uncreative not like me taken depoalgos for pain five years that helps quell depression but antidepressants dont
Coldturkey withdrawal can lead to seizures, psychosis and even sudden death. Potential for long lasting iatrogenic injury. And PSSD, post ssri/snri sexual dysfunction inclusive anhedonia which can be permanent. But good luck at playing russian roulette with your life over some minor mood issues... When you want to come off, that's when the real issues with those drugs and also shrinks emerge, who just don't want to taper or don't even know how to do it in a safe manner.
If they were "minor" people wouldn't consider & simultaneously fear the drugs that can help & benefit people. It is a scary risk to take but there are positive outcomes for some people.
Antidepressants ruined my life. This video is terrible. There are sooooo many terrible side effects: sexual dysfunctions, emotional blunting, anhedonia, cognitive impairments and the list goes on!!! Don't take it!!!
Only if u believe that mental health conditions r "chemical imbalances" will b subjected 2 these poisonous psych meds. I'm well aware that it affects each individual differently but after 30+ different psych meds ovr a 40+ yr period b4 becoming psych med-free on 1/1/2017, the negative side effects far outweighed any "benefits" ovr cumulative time. Best 2 ya if u believe otherwise.
@@extrastout1741 Thanks; hasn't been easy but when u follow the advice of mental health professionals & the environment around u actually TRIGGERS ur symptoms, all psych meds r "chemical pacifiers" (i.e.: designed 2 silence u when standing up 2 & defending urself against abusers, antagonists, bullies, harassers, instig8rs, & perpetr8rs whom r the REAL REASON as 2 what TRIGGERS mental health issues). Meds do NOTHING 2 ADDRESS NOR RESOLVE the root causes as a4mentioned. It's simply a 4m of punishment.
@@barry5580 No; I don't. Most often; psych meds r often used as "punishment" (i.e.: when some1 verbally lashes out @ those whom abuse, bully, &/or harass him/her; the person on the receiving end of the abuse, bullying, &/or harassment will get prescribed psych meds 2 "control" such verbal outbursts). Not solely but primarily from such incidents. W/that said; I stand by what I've said. 30+ different psych meds over 44 yrs b4 becoming psych med-free since 1/1/2017 (my DOB: 7/20/1967) tell me so.
Antidepressants don’t fix any issues, they just push down all your emotions more which makes it even harder to connect to your feelings to work through them, not to mention they have many horrible side effects and discontinuing them is extremely hard.
They don't, but there are alot of people who are depressed for no sole reason, my depression kicked in in the best time of my life with a really bright future I had in my head.
That’s not true. Anti depressants literally help balance chemicals in your brain. I think your issue is that it’s not a permanent fix. But so what , toothpaste isn’t permanent, that’s why you brush daily, either is deodorant. Etc. it’s not a one and done, it’s something that will always need maintenance bc it’s an issue with your brain chemicals.
@@healthyplace The only way to cure depression is to learn to actually deal with your emotion, in other words ask yourself why you feel the way you do and do some quality crying. Another great way is the get into spirituality, meditating, even find a reiki master to attune you so you can heal yourself :)
It's true that antidepressants do numb emotions but that can be helpful for a certain period so that you can actually work on building new healthy habits and coping mechanisms.
Antidepressants don't make you different person. I he make you become you own person again ❤
This is a miracle drug for most people with anxiety. It has made me feelll so happy and myself again
