I weep for society if some event caused the constant supply of SSRI drugs to be interrupted.

how would u feel mentally if all of a sudden you couldn't take any anabolics, at all, zero, non, boom :D ?

Taking the antidepressants by themselves wont correct negative thought processes, but it can help make your brain more receptive to change.  That's where the therapy comes into play.  Ideally you'll learn how to identify maladaptive thought processes and replace them with more positive thinking--something which can last you a lifetime.  Granted this isn't always 100% successful of course, but therapy + medication is far more likely to work than either of them by themselves.

I'm sure it wasn't easy to admit you have an issue but recognizing that something is wrong is an important first step.  Good luck.
drugs work, but don't fix anything. It is going to sound cliche but the best thing i found has been weight lifting. Cardio doesn't really help, but a good weight lifting session does wonders.

The hypermasculine charade will be exposed to the world for the lie that it was all along, shattering a fragile ego that never really was whole.

Something like that.

i heard about a guy who lost all of his size because he had to stop taking gear due to some problems, and his selfesteem got so fragile he couldn't go to work.

Probably not a good example for me since I haven't taken antibiotics for 20 years with the exception of some IV antibiotics that they put in me proactively during my Achilles surgery.

And opiate pain killers don't appear to have any effect on me, so those are out as an example also.

Working out does keep me sane. Seems to be when I'm just tuned out of the world and issues and it's just me vs weights.  Can't workout 24/7.

Pretty much drugs just mask the issue.  But then again some do kill diseases so you can't say all drugs are bad.  Other than citalopram keeping me calm, nothing by in my life has changed. If anything it's become more chaotic but at least I can navigate it better. Numb at times but better.

No, I'm not a psychopath but I've been taking Citalopram for a few years now.  I had serious anxiety issues and the dr. prescribed it to me a few years back.  Since then I lack all emotions.  I am basically just bored most of the time.  If something makes me angry, I'll get to the point where I might snap and in an instant I calm right back to normal.  A friend of mine I hadn't seen for years was hanging out and some asshole was causing trouble.  he saw I was getting mad but then calmed right down and he asked me "how did you not snap?"  He was shocked at how quickly I just went back to "normal".  I rarely get excited anymore.  Nothing excites me.  I never get sad no matter what and I'm rarely happy.  I am just sort of numb to the world.  One side effect is the tip of my cock gets numb.  Makes it so hard to cum sometimes.  Can just fuck until I'm exhausted and I just stop.  When I do cum I feel the sensation of it then it's just blech. Sort of goes away.

I want to stop taking this shit but my doctor thinks I should stay on it since my BP has been excellent and I've been sleeping better.

Any of you guys take this shit?
I`d get off that shit tomorrow bro!!

Switch to escitaloptam, brand name Lexapro. If your worried about sexual sides ask for Viibryd. Or ask for an SNRI.

Or just don't take anything, but make sure not to quit cold turkey.

Aren't the benefits of most of these drugs originally a side effect? Something scientists figured out while trying to cure something else.  Wasn't Viagra a heart medicine until they realized everyone got raging boners on it. Rogaine was meant for anxiety.

True. But lexapro is very dangerous to quit taking. The point of drugs is to temporarily help you out, unless you have a disease like diabetes or something. You want to get off as many as you can in the long run. But with lexapro, you pretty stuck taking it forever.

I'm on Duloxetine and to be honest life is easier.
Yes, I feel less but to deal with my job, three children, and whatever life issues this brings, Duloxetine is gold. Don't worry about people telling you to man up, they don't know what it is like to have anxiety issues. It's like telling somebody to man up when they have an asthma attack and not inhale the bronchodilator.
The society is still crude and cruel and you gotta deal with it the best you can.


Good luck!
