"Like call me a misogynist, meanie, insensitive, or whatever, but I just can't stand it when people aren't honest about what they are - which is a slave to big pharma, addicted to morphine and SSRIs ❤."

"Don't let them trick you into taking SSRI's, you're supposed to feel like shit through all of your 20's. It's literally the only time it's acceptable to take shitty jobs, date shitty people, live in shitty places, and destroy your brain with drugs and alcohol."

"This oft posted Atlantic article gives some classic suggestions, porn, dating apps, SSRIs all the usual boogeymen."
"in fact, the lecturer says, this may be how antidepressants work, given that SSRIs reduce REM sleep and MAOIs eliminate it completely."

"i don't like the idea that everything has to be solved by a professional, that you have to immediately seek help when you are down. i think that emotional pain, like physical pain, is often telling us that something has to change. it is the time for me to be more introspective and seek answers, beca"

"I was on SSRIs for years when I didn't need to be. I don't have depression just anxiety but my doc chose to put me on these things instead of buspar. Then when I got off them I got immensely depressed so I went back on them for several years. What my cunt doctor neglected to tell me is that that's j"
"I have been taking SSRIs for a year and a half now, before then I had really bad depression and anxiety. Some things that have changed for the better: my mood is stabilized, I am less histrionic, less quick to jump to conclusions, less paranoid, all around I feel more stable."

"If you aren't on this shit already. NEVER EVER start. You will essentially be an addict. This shit is fucking horrible and the worst decision of my fucking life was starting a clinical trial for these when I was 18 for extra cash and having to continue them when the trial was over or else I'd be fuc"
"I don't pressure her but I've insinuated that perhaps exercise might be better for her anxiety than shuffling between various SSRIs that have done nothing for her (not to mention make it hard to lose weight)."

"It's literally a suffering. It either happens due to trauma or depression or you have killed your libido by taking long term ssris like me."
"Destigmatize getting everyone hooked on SSRIs and medication for the rest of their mortal existence!"
"A lot of my femcel issues decreased when I started taking SSRIs, I didn't feel so utterly worthless romantically when the depressive delusions went away."

"SSRIs are chemical castration and therapy is for friendless losers. Anyway I'm looking for help. I suffer from anxiety,depression and adhd"

"I've tried various meds: been on SSRIs, SNRIs, Wellbutrin, even some anti-psychotics, but all they ever did for me was give me sleep issues."

"Been miserable since I was 14. SSRIs haven't helped. Therapy has given me a slightly deeper understanding of the issues but it can't solve the causes."

"The feeling lessens after I'm awake for a bit (probly because I'm on SSRIs) but still it's such an uncomfortable way to wake up after a nice sleep and seems to happen more in the winter time"

"I'm going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall"
"There was a phase in my life when I would tell psychiatrists that the noxious cocktail of SSRIs and antipsychotics I was prescribed did nothing for me, and they would ask without a hint of irony if I would consider adding an additional SSRI or antipsychotic to the mix."

"Obviously back then I didn't understand what an SSRI even was but now that i'm 24 and think I have a better handle on my own mental health I'm gonna try to get off of it because I don't want to be on this stuff for the rest of my life. I'm talking to my doctor wednesday about starting to taper off t"
Anyone come off of SSRIs after a long time on them? · u/memeshoe2 · ↑29 · 2021-03-08
"I feel like a complete automaton. If you told me handlers were slipping SSRIs into my foods I'd believe it. Not sure what needs to be done to get back to something real."
