"She immediately suggests I get onto an SSRI because I sound too upset. Has anyone else encountered this sort of idiotic logic before. It's okay to encounter tenuous situations in life and I think insisting upon medicating immediately is so dumb, you can't surmount every problem by just popping a fuc"
You can't medicate away everything · u/starrystarryy · ↑230 · 2025-06-18
"Recently during a hang out all of my girl friends got to trading stories of their varied experiences with different SSRI's and anxiety meds and one of my friends said she's been on just about every single one currently available. Everyone I know is on ADHD, anxiety, or anti depressants."
I am the only person I know who is unmedicated · u/ellemae93 · ↑82 · 2025-02-27
"Btw doctors should better explain the side effects and how hard it is to get off them before you begin"
Getting off SSRI's is great · u/Stunning_Search_6401 · ↑75 · 2024-04-29
"Um, the last month of my life has been hell!! I cry literally 6 times a day. I find everything embarrassing, just being perceived in general. Not being able to find a matching sock or literally spilling a bit of milk will send me in a sobbing rage. I can reel it in when I'm in public but my poor boy"
"i know this sub is really against ssri's quite often (and i don't blame it, as in western society it's often prescribed as a tool to numb those who are in material distress), but i thought i would share my experiences taking zoloft for 9 months"

"Like many people here, I've been fervently anti-anti-depressants for years. I can quote that Tom Cruise Matt Lauer interview from memory ('You're glib!'). Well, I'm done with that. I can't do this anymore. The anxiety is crippling."
I'm giving up. I'm picking up my SSRI prescription on Monday. · u/don_dripac · ↑199 · 2025-12-25
