Title: I lack all emotions
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on April 18, 2016, 07:01:51 AM
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?

this is why i still to this day haven't used any prescription drug for depression or whatever, because that will be the result in the end. have a nice rest of your life as a zombie, wish u dealt ur emotions without any help of drugs now, huh?

my depression always goes away when i eat a lot of food and workout, but my mood goes from zero to hundred and minus hundred every day and has for years.

just a small trick you should try since your brain is fucked, stop jerking off. usually that will make your erections harder and makes you more motivated to do stuff. if not, then continue this path of shit and accept your faith as a zombie

I've probably been through and seen more 'shit' than most GetBiggers but have never had the need to take anything stronger than an aspirin.

But I have noticed that a good number of the 'younger generation' are somewhat dependant on some type of prescription drugs.

Can anyone with 'smarts' make an attempt at explaining that to me?

And .... Call me 'stupid' but I just recently discovered that marijauna is now legal within the state of Nevada.

Having lived throughout the years of the marijauna craze and the incarceration of those who 'partook' of the illegal substance, I find it interesting that the 'situation' has changed completely and that its use has become legal for one and all ...... as long as you get a doctor's prescription which will set  you back approximately $300 ... So I have been told. And purchase it from a legal source.

How many GetBiggers take advantage of this present situation?

Can cause paranoid or suicidal ideation and impair memory, judgment, and coordination. Combining with other substances, particularly alcohol, can slow breathing and possibly lead to death.

I have taken it for many years and, during that time, it totally had killed off a part of me. Stopped taking it and never looked back... but it can be difficult to adjust to your normal self.

It was pretty bad.  I wasn't handling it well.  BP was through the roof, sleeping was awful which made me more stressed.  I've heard horror stories about coming off.  Going cold turkey is a no-no, heard I can taper off.  I need to talk to my DR. to make sure I don't end up fucking myself up.

Lol, I should have been dead years ago.  My BP hit 230/120.  Went to ER and the nurse about passed out when they saw my BP.  She was shocked at how the fucked I was still standing/breathing and managed to drive myself to the hospital.

we all should have been dead years ago


we are ALL "dinosaur food".....I think we were all supposed to live to be 35 years old (women have a shorter lifespan because giving birth takes YEARS off your life)

so, we should have all been dead years ago.  The dinosaurs dying, better healthcare and the fact that we have a social contract that looks down on killing each other has kept us alive longer than we should be

we all have "survivors remorse" which is why we're all going crazy


don't have "survivors remorse".....try and find something fullfilling.....


or just jerk off a lot....if you do this then you'll be so tired that you won't have the energy to be miserable

i agree with everything else except jerking off a lot. when i jerk off a lot i feel like diablo now. when i don't, i become more spontanteous and energetic overall. it's difficult to keep that up tho, the temptation is too great sometimes

Is your doctor a real specialist or just a scammer?
The chance that you are dealing with a person that is truly interested in a positive development of your situation is prett slim to non existent UNLESS the person takes on a holistic approach.
It might help if you monitor your breathing throughout the day. Keep an eye on how it changes as different situations arise.
There's a high chance that you are tense 24/7 without noticing it anymore.

My dick still works.  Just takes me forever to cum and when I do it's not as euphoric as it used to be.  Citalopram numbs your extremities.  Finger tips, toes and the tip of the cock.

lol naw. I was taking Citalopram in college, until my dick started to lack sensation. I was lasting to the point of being tired, not fun. Switched to Clonazepam, works very will, and everything is great. Clonazepam is a control substance, so like everything, it is only bad if abused. Fucking junkies ruin everything.  >:(

Citalopram causes you to lack feeling in your dick. Think of it like wearing 2 condoms at the same time.

The worst is when you feel like cumming and it goes away so you continue pumping and then it comes back and goes away until you're just like fuck it and pull out.  At least the chick is satisfied.  Couple this while on Tren and you have a raging hard on that just won't go down.

You are partially right BUT...there seems to be more understanding today about certain issues than yesteryear. Battle Fatigue has turned into PTSD and now is being treated. Today's professionals are never away from work. Email, cell phones etc. etc put the office right in the home...so now there are no more excuses. Sad...I know but that is the way things are going. You see people complain about kids using cellphones but what they don't understand is we put a ton of responsibility on our kids to learn. Back when you went to school, kindergarten was a half day. Now, if your children don't go to Pre-3 and 4 they are behind. Children need to know how to operate a computer in first grade. I could go on and on about this...but for the original poster, stay off of sites like this, it can get nasty and very unhealthy at times.

Were you undergoing therapy when you started taking the citalopram?

Without therapy these drugs are much less effective and your chances of beating your anxiety/depression slim.  They need to combined, unless you don't mind taking an SSRI for the rest of your life.

I used Citalopram for 6 months, I felt amazing on it, always positive and always psyched up, full of energy, very social and not really bothered by anything and just feeling at my optimum all the time.

However, when I voluntarily stopped it took me over a year for my sex drive and erections to recover, though I never had any problems at all while on it and it had actually increased my sex drive.

I'm glad I stopped using anti-depressants because I think long-term use would permanently alter my brain and perhaps make me dependent on the same or similar medication for the rest of my life...

BUT, I do believe it's purpose is to help a person get through a rough patch, to give them a boost when they need it, but not to rely on it forever.

FALLSVIEW, Thanks! I didn't consider that "there seems to be more understanding today about certain issues than yesteryear", but now I think that you are 100% correct.

I now realize that people are no-more 'sick' today than they used to be!

It's just that we know much more now than we used to know!

I have gotten a little bit smarter as a result of reading your response,but I also realize that I will get a little bit dum-mer if I continue to read too many other GetBig commentaries.

I don't know if this is normal, but zoloft works straight away for me.

As such I only take as needed. A few times a year maybe. When I notice my mood taking a dive, heading towards depression, caused by an out of control negative thinking spiral.

I just pop a zoloft in the morning and a few hours later I feel it start to kick in. By the afternoon, my negative thought loops stop and I feel comfortably numb and even happy.

I just take zoloft for a few days to give my brain a rest from negativity, and this usually snaps me out of depression and brings me back to some sort of normalcy (depression is always below the surface waiting, I can feel it).

I get the sides fast too, lose interest in sex, can't come, feel zombie like. I can't imagine being on all the time, I'd rather have mild depression.

I went into depression over a decade ago when I had my motorcycle accident and ended up in the hospital with two broken legs and busted arm.   Just lying in a hospital bed for over a month like I did was enough to trigger depression severe enough I was wanting to die.   And my depression didn't get lifted until I was able to get out of the hospital and start basically walking again (first on a walker, then crutches, and then finally on my own).   So yeah, just getting physical exercise can literally be the difference between life and death for some.

I've googled it and there seems to be a long process of lowering the dose.  I also read about brain shocks that occur.  Fucking sounds horrible.  I see my doc in June.  Will discuss it with him.  I just want to be myself.  Sucks having good things happen and wanting to get excited about it and not being able to.

Dude, not to sound like a dick, but man up. All you have to do is stage off it. Your doctor can give to a plan. I'm taking about 10% of what I took in college. I still take a very low dose because I still get a panic attack every 1-3 months are so. So basically it feels like i'm dying every 1-3 months for about 5 -10 mins.  :-\

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.

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. 

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!

Your doctor just wants to make $ off of you. Good thing is, you say you don't want to take it anymore. So stick to that and taper off. You'll be a lot better off without it.

being happy...do we wanne be happy all the time. Kids are happy dogs are happy most stupid creatures are happy. Just give them a present or a toy and they will become happy. I mean happy is low brain activity, easy to manipulate. Unhappy is advanced brain activity hard to stimulate.

I have been struggling depression and axienty many years. But taking a pill and become stupid happy, that's not my thing. I like to see what most people who feel great really cant see. Its a gift. Creative mind! Awake. Not in a fucking bubblegum. U can great some really fucked up thoughts far far away from normal schooling without pills. I like that :) I don't like to hang out wit stupid brain watched people. Just sit on a fucking chair for some years isolate yourself and you will experience awakening abow everything u ever seen and experienced before. The main problem is u cant hang out with normal people after that ha ha.
