Do zoomers really.
I'm convinced anxiety doesn't exist. Only panic attacks exist
What? Are you moronic? Anxiety is a literal biological mood. It's essentially just stress, or the state of being stressed.
FPBP & Checked.
Real men just take a deep breath and embrace the uncomforting thought/situation, not use pills to escape them.
>Real men just take a deep breath and embrace the uncomforting thought/situation, not use pills to escape them.
And then they complain that 77% of the people that kill themselves are men.
So go be an hero? Or quit your b***hin and deal with it.
>Just shut up and deal with your issues yourself lmao
>Wtf bros why is the suicide rate of males so high, fricking feministes
We are a highly social animal, homosexual. Go live in the woods if you want to larp as a solitary animal.
Didn't read bet that's a lotta b***hin from a homosexual mentally ill troon

>Letting big pharma trick you into fricking up your brain chemistry because life sucks
Never gonna make it brah. Drop the shit. I was on it for a year and never felt better. Been raw dogging life ever since and things are much better.
why did you take it for a year if you didn't like it?
it also blunts your emotions to the point that nothing feels good or bad anymore. having sex isn't even desirable to you. reaching goals feels like a rote exercise instead of some kind of human triumph. it turns you into a robot. it's like you get your cake but you don't even want to eat it.
All of this. And in my younger days when I was on it I used to be sleep like 10 or 11 hours then still be yawning throughout the day. They also slow down your metabolism and amplify the sugar/dopamine loop. Overall they do much more damage than good. They're quite simply a israeli weapon to prevent alpha white chads.
>Have felt like this for the past ~2 years but have never been medicated
It's weird, my anxiety has dissolved away but I'm super dispassionate about everything and don't really feel strong emotions anymore. If a normal person has range of happiness and sadness from 1-10, I feel like I'm confined to a 3-7 at best.
Are you me? Absolutely nothing is fun to me. No activities, no jokes, nothing. My nights are just scrolling endlessly through youtube in search of a video I don't even want to watch.
what if this already me and I've never taken meds in my life
>SSRIs
I took 25mg trazadone for sleep. Always knew it rekt my ability to get hard but never thought way.
Turns out SSRIs will lower your T. I went from 500 to 300 in week.
Use them if you have to but try other things first.
Trazodone is not an SSRI. And the effect of them on sex hormones are not fully understood. That being said, stay sober.
Oh look, weimar poison
I find alcohol makes me happy and feel less anxious. It also makes me last AGES with a full proper hard on. Just get a nice buzz on.
i was on it for a year
plus side, didn't destroy my dick, made my depression anxiety and ocd managable
down side, it made me slow and forgetful
its like it puts the breaks on your brain so you stop overthinking
if i recall correctly, it normalizes frontal lobe activity, as in, it reduces activity, so in a way, it may actually make you slower. tests on cognitive effects of SSRIs are inconclusive, it seems, so I'm unsure. some say they benefit cognition and some say that they are harmful.
those are typical effects of SSRIs
>it normalizes frontal lobe activity, as in, it reduces activity, so in a way, it may actually make you slower
i could literally feel getting smarter after stopping it, my thinking was deeper but most importantly my working memory/attention got better
when i was on Lexapro i would literally forget what i was thinking about in the middle of thinking
>referring to medication by brand names
have a nice day health illiterate moron
break up with her and tell her it's because she's fat, that'll put her into proper depression
I ask every girl what antidepressant/anti-anxiety medications she takes prior to date 1.
No.1 cause of female mental illness is being a hoe, it's literally that simple.
No. 1 cause of male depression, anxiety, suicide is lack of relationship success due to height or facial ugliness. It's literally that simple.
t. hospital pharmacist who works in the mental health wards all the time
to medication by brand names
you do realize that there are different molecules of ssri, right?
>make thread about specific brand of drug
>make broad generalisation about entire class of drug
moronic
>makes wrong counterargument whilst not understanding the basic concepts of prescribing and bioequivalence
again, have a nice day
that isn't OP. I made the thread about SSRIs amd antidepressants in general.
Lexapro is a brand name. The actual generic name is escitalopram.
Maybe this is more of a female side effect but my gf has put on a frick ton of weight since being prescribed this a few years ago. She also does not get even slightly wet and that can’t be all me
have you tried selank instead?
Have you tried slonking
I would try Selank if I wasn't afraid of 1) losing my hair and 2) getting brain cancer or something
They hand those things out like candy, you're not special
Jesus fricking christ is that what the average zoomer takes?
no fricking way these were all prescribed by a med, I can't even get them to prescribe me xan. plus I have never heard of more that three meds at maximum being mixed in a treatment.
what if you were a moron and also your therapist was a moron
>Sertraline
That shit was awful when I got put on it, made me feel even worse. Zoloft and off-brands of Zoloft have been proven/known to make the user feel worse. I'm pretty sure the Columbine shooters were on Zoloft, or one of them was.
I'm on Sertraline and Buspirone myself.
Used to be on Deroxat but it killed my cooms so I replaced it with Sertraline. Overall I'm pretty satisfied, Buspirone effectively calms me down if the stress/anxiety becomes too high and the anti-depressant removed my suicidal thoughts.
>oxalates
enjoy your kidney stones
oxalates are in many foods and in significantly higher quantity
Is this a real post and replies, on MY IST? Are you morons not aware SSRIs are officially debunked as curing depression? It does fricking nothing but mask the problem and give you placebo
Depression/anxiety are fake problems manufactured by a pussy society that coddles and enables victims, so everyone victimizes themselves out of self pity and for attention. Also big pharma
If your dick is limp, you are taking a nuclear dose and fricking yuoursel up big time, or you're low test. Or you're a twig. It should only make sex last a long time, which it did for me and I was only 165 lbs. used for a couple months only
It's all a scam anyway. Get off it ASAP. Are you going to depend on Dr. Goldstein and his cousin's happy pills to function for the rest of your life? The biggest scam ever. Rethink your b***h life and QUIT NOW
Incoming moronic blogpost: There was a time where I was terrified of leaving my house, and couldn't do it without shitting my pants (literally not metaphorically). I later found out my anxiety "trigger" was due to a food allergy that I didn't know I had, but once I moved out on my own and started going to college and eating fast food more often. I would reek of shit and my ass would leak, and I would often have to leave classes to diarrhea multiple times if I attended one after eating. It all culminated in me getting an extreme fear of leaving my house/room because I would be perfectly fine at home but attending classes and eating campus food would give me extreme shits and I was too moronic to put the campus food together with the shits.
I went to a psychiatrist (while knocked out for both the trip there and the trip home) and was prescribed Lexapro 10mg for 6 months. I was also prescribed lifting and spending more and more time leaving the house, usually at a local park to get some exercise. After 6 months of expanding my comfort zone with Lexapro, I weened off of it while maintaining my routine of daily outings, and now I haven't used any medicines for over 2 years and feel great.
I think SSRIs are supposed to be used as a tool like this, but most doctors will just prescribe and keep people on that shit forever so they always return to that doctor. I got lucky with my psychiatrist, because I'm sure if I went to any other psychiatrist I would just be given a shitload of drugs and no actual direction.

Is it a problem that I’ve completely missed out on sex?
100% true. SSRIs killed my sex drive 5 years ago. Frick this shit
clinical depression
also I still jerk off like 3 times a day
Yeah SSRI's should be last choice. Unfortunately I ran out of options so I take em. But I plan to go off of them soon.
>But I plan to go off of them soon.
Good luck and stay safe. I genuinely mean this
Thanks anon.
SSRIs and similar drugs literally frick your testosterone levels in the long run. Even if they help you initially, you will start feeling worse and worse and time passes and your doctor will say "oh, it's because you need to up your dose" or "we need to change medications".
DONT. FRICKING. DO. IT.
>taking ssri's in 2022
They just came out with a monumental study showing how shitty and useless these are at treating depression and anxiety disorder. They also have shown that people with depression and anxiety have no different brain chemistry than a "normal" person. These drugs destroy your body and will permanently frick you up. If you're anxious or depressed go to therapy or just step outside but stop pretending like you have some rare unique disorder that requires constant medication and that no one else can possibly understand or feel the same way. Newsflash, we all get depressed and anxious, there's nothing unique about it. All you are doing is being a useful idiot to big pharma shills.
I dunno man my grandma went into catatonic depression that shit wasn't a joke. There's feeling depressed and then actual full blown clinical depression. Runs in my family...
>my grandma
are you a frickin women too?
They gave me this and 40mg of Adderal in 7th grade. My doctor was a Russian israelite, who I will not forgive.
I've avoided SSRIs or any anxiety medication my whole life. I had a pretty shitty and isolated childhood, which became very severe anxiety/neuroticism as a teen. Avoided it as best I could, stayed fit, joined the military, got engaged, all that shit. It fell apart in my mid 20s. Cheating, stealing. Started again, by myself. Got fit again, started combat sports, got a pretty senior and high paying job, great at my creative hobbies. Went back to church for years, tried joining groups and interest clubs, but to limited and temporary success.
I'm now 31, almost paid off my house, will likely never be earning less than 6figs again and I'm physically healthy as a race horse.
But I have 0 family, no heritage or connection to my roots, if they even exist. The handful of friends I have are busy with their kids/partners/communities and I haven't had a romantic relationship in 4 years.
Every day for the last 15 years I've considered suicide. Everyday I managed to SELF IMPROOV but the truth is getting harder to ignore.
I am considering whatever dose I need to be able to get up and function in the morning. But I know I can't live like this for another 30, 15 or even 2 years. If medication can stave off suicide, and if it makes me not care about the lonely, meaningless life ahead of me, then maybe it's worth the dead dick and brain fog.
eerily similar track as you, same age and everything. Wish I could tell you I pulled myself out of it, sadly that ain't the case. Best of luck brother
I don't think many in our situation do. I remember a former priest turned counsellor telling me that most in my circumstances are dead, addicts or homeless.
Good luck to you too. See you on the other side, whenever that is.
>anxiety
seriously though what the frick even is anxiety and why do so many gays have it
Take care dudes... Dont share what you take
