I've been on this shit for the last 4-5 years. I had sever anxiety issues and it actually did a good job. The problem are the side effects. Most notably the sexual side effect. It is known to numb your extremities including your cock. I get hard easily but when fucking I barely feel anything. Sometimes it just gets boring fucking until I just stop. When I am enjoying it and want to cum the medicine kicks in and levels me out and then I don't want to cum anymore. Shit is designed to keep you level so you don't get too excited, too sad, too angry or too happy. I end up just making the chick the cum and then eventually jerk myself off. This has grown tiresome and annoying so I want to get off this shit but I've heard horror stories about people trying to ween off of it. I remember Wiggs mentioning being on it and getting brain zaps when he stopped.

Go see the doctor who prescribed it for you.
Ask him.

Ask the doctor if it’s OK to do three quarters of a dose for three weeks followed by half a dose for three weeks, etc. Do the pills allow you to cut them? The problem with withdrawal is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to tell the difference between the core problem returning versus the withdrawal symptoms, but it is worth trying. I did this with Xanax years ago. Difficult but glad I did it.

What is it used for? Anxiety?

Clinical depression aka mental health. Another looney bird getbigger.

Excellent advice.

I'd like to kick Trazodone. Over a long time I reduced the dosage from the original 300 mg to 50 mg. When I've tried to cut it out altogether, I go right back to having the inability to sleep for more than a half hour at a time. I've mentioned this to my doctor who doesn't think it's a problem because the dosage is so small. Going off Trazodone also produces flu like symptoms.

Excellent advice.
Gimmicks don't bother doing what any normal person would do. They take the Rich Piana aka whatever it takes route. Consulting getbig for questions about their psych meds is the only option!

I wouldn't recommend getting off it. If you're on it because you need it to function "normally", then you wouldn't want it out of your system. There's a reason you're taking it in the first place. That reason hasn't gone away. It's there. Just under the surface. And if you can't see the reason you're on it, then the medicine is doing its job. All SSRIs have the same side effects give or take. It is what it is.

I take it. Started about 7ish years ago. Went off last year for a bit. Back on it again now.
I went off it on my own. I don't recommend that. Felt like crap. Really bad depression. Anxiety slowly got worse.
Talk to your doc if you wznt to go off it. They can help you do it safely so side effects are minimal.
Like I said I'm currently on it again at a lower dose and I also take CBD oil.

Are there more folks suffering from anxiety today then in times passed? Seems as if there are. What do you suppose is the cause of this? Despite how much we like grousing about how bad things have become, most people are better off now then in 2008, for example. Have we become a society of hypochondriacs?
Advertisements for new drugs abound. There is big money in the manufacture and sale of drugs. Supposedly, doctors are given incentives to promote and prescribe various drugs. How do many people become addicted to opioids? It often starts with a prescription from a physician.

There certainly is more diagnosis of illness than before.
Kids are readily diagnosed as learning disabled, etc.
In the "old days" a kid (usually boys) who struggled in school would become an auto mechanic or skilled tradesman.
Drugs seek out patients nowadays.

Don't take this the wrong way, but when you say you suffer from anxiety what does that feel like? An all day panic attack? Also to the guy that sleeps 30 minutes a night, have you tried a sleep apnea machine?

Maybe you shouldn't come off right now. Your posts aren't of a happy-go-lucky nature. If your life circumstances are going to be a problem then put some work into solving them first, imho.
Also, if you can jerk off and squirt then you're not anorgasmic. If your complaint is sexual then examine sex. Maybe you're just not a missionary position, meat & potatoes man. If your fantasies and your bedroom actions are two different things then that's something to address.

These posts are great reminder to stay off drugs prescribed or recreational. Who were on these anxiety and depression drugs 60 years ago? Man the fuck up.

Don't get me started on this. This whole situation fucked with me for a while. It sucks falling for a bitch to find this shit out.

Its a good question. It's just a feeling of stress for no reason. Your mind could be blank yet you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. You never feel you can catch up with anything. It's not about sporadic panic attacks either. It's just a general uneasiness. Always feeling anxious like you're waiting in a long line to nowhere.

People didn't get depressed until 9/11 happened.

Why people take psych drugs is beyond me. It never ends well.

What you described is basically how I feel most days, I thought that was normal ;D
-
In the old days people just drank heavily, smoked grass, etc.
All natural.

Hypochondriacs : DAMN! I haven't heard that word since I left high school. Some of the guys used it to avoid the military.
But got drafted anyway and had to stand in long sick-bay lines just about every day!

I was one of those kids who didn't do well in school. My teachers told my parents I was easily distracted and underachieving my potential, which was determined by my high IQ scores. These were the days before anyone knew about ADHD, thank goodness. Otherwise, I'd would have been medicated. I only took subjects that interested me in college, where I was an honor student.
-

President Kennedy's assassination permanently changed how I felt about things, much like 9/11 did others. I lived in Berlin after WWII, the horror and destruction caused by war was everywhere. Fortunately, I was only five years old which likely lessened the impact.

Nothing is truly natural, there are chemicals in everything, including alcohol and marijuana. Alcoholism changes you physically and mentally, sometimes permanently.

It's criminal what they do to kids now. We all would have been on meds if we grew up today.

PRIME, Was RITALIN available when you were a kid?
Ritalin (methylphenidate) is used to treat attention deficit disorder
I never honestly took anything stronger than an asperin when I was a kid, but in my 20's I took Ritalin (as suggestd by my coach) and managed to get my first 400 lb bench press.
And that single ritalin tab also smartened up my thinking process for a few hours ... but that all ended when I got stupid again.
Later ... someone made a movie somewhat based on this 'event'.
If I recall right (where's that ritalin?) that movie was called "CHARLY".
-
I'm amazed how many people are on psych drugs long term. Throw in the insecurity that most bodybuilder types have and it's a bad mix.
-
Any grown man who needs mind-bending pills to function at a level which billions do every day without them is a pussy and a faġġot who should off themselves for being such a worthless and weak specimen of the human race. Your problems are all in your head. In a world where a lot of people live on less than $1 a day or lost their entire family during bombing raids in war zones, a Westerner with a high-speed Internet connection, a roof over their head, and no bullets to dodge or mines to walk around doesn't need drugs to survive unless they're clinically insane or there's something pathetically wrong in their head.
Women are different. They cry, they panic, they lose control easily and need constant reassurance that it'll be okay. For them, SSRIs are adult milk and cookies. But you? Fuck you. You're a disgrace. If you're going to numb yourself to deal with your problems, at least grow a fucking pair and buy a bottle of whisky or vodka or shoot some heroin. There's no fun in it unless you risk dying, and these pills don't kill you - they just turn you in a mushy sanctimonious transsexual.

Most mass shooters were on them prior to shooting. I guess they don't work that well, huh?
It's amazing how the same people that judge those who drink or use cannabis recreationally are on powerful chemical agents prescribed by scam doctors who live in the pharmaceutical industry's pockets. To quote Renton in Trainspotting, these people - millions of them - are, in their own domesticated and socially acceptable way, drug addicts.

I've tried Ritalin, gave me a feeling of sniffing paint fumes. Would never give that stuff to a kid.

Agreed about men. With women the fact that they spend 10-20 years riding the cock carousel is what fucks them up in the head. Once they hit the wall and no man wants them sends them into a downward spiral in which psych drugs and/or alcohol is the only way they can cope. Since feminism really went mainstream there has been a huge increase in women (25%) needing psych drugs.

On the bright side, if they get some liberal Democrats or major left-wing newspapers to publish their false accusations against men that rejected them 36 years ago, they can earn up to $200,000 a year, tax free!

This nonsense is just going to get worse until someone puts a stop to it. Right now any women can claim anything against you and it could be the end of your career and/or reputation. Most of these rape claims are bullshit and even women know it.

Would anti-anxiety medication not be better, with less side effects?
What you described is basically how I feel most days, I thought that was normal ;D
Generalized anxiety disorder is thought to be rooted in depression, and so treatment plans were designed to incorporate use of an anti-depressant in conjunction with therapy. The anti-depressant helps an ill mind find balance and the therapy is designed to correct faulty patterns of thought. Used together, these modalities have a much higher rate of success than either medication or therapy used alone. 18-24 months is typically all that's needed.
Of course, many people don't want to participate in regular therapy sessions and so they are left taking these medications on a chronic basis. It's much easier to take a pill every morning than actively participate in self-improvement.
Anxiolytics, eg: Xanax, Ativan, Valium, are intended for short-term use (ie: a couple of weeks) or for occasional use to treat panic attacks. They were never intended to be used over the long term to treat anxiety. They are far too addictive and have far too many side effects.

I was going to post a smart ass comment about manning the fuck up because I’ve been depressed myself but usually only after drinking/drugs.
Feel sorry for genuine clinically depressed/anxious souls. Is it really so overwhelming that even tons of cardio/yoga/mindfulness/diet can’t help? Definitely helps with moderate depression
-

I believe it is like addderall in that it is supposed to work differently for those that actually need it.

I worked with a guy who was a manic depressive.
When he was up he was really productive and on top of the world. He was awesome. Like the nutty professor's alter ego Buddy Love.
When he was down he could barely see over his shoetops. He disappeared for awhile.
Went on a mood drug for awhile and it evened him out but he was neither up not down, kind of nowhere..
Didn't stay on the mood drug as it made him a zombie.
Eventually killed himself.

That's the fucking problem man. I go to extremes when I'm myself. I can be the life of a party and have a blast and make everyone around me happy and laugh or I can sulk at home for days. The citalopram leveled that out. I can't get super excited nor super sad. It brings you back to the middle right away. When I'd get mad It would take hours for me to calm down, now I get mad and in about a minute I'm laughing. It's fucked up. The sexual issues is what bothers me the most. Imagine everytime you start getting excited and want to cum and then the drugs kick in and bring you down and you no longer want to. It's annoying. In the last 5 years on the drug I've never gotten into a fight nor wanted to. before that I was a fucking hot head.

Kind of sounds like bipolar/borderline to me but I only know some interesting people and what they deal with - not a pro.

I weened off of it and then have been off for about 11 days now. Only once while sleeping I got this brain jolt. The thing i feel now is anger. lots of anger and hatred. Like 5 years on citalopram bottled it up and now it wants out. I think about my ex and my blood boils. I almost ripped some fucker's head off this weekend when I heard him talk shit to a buddy of mine. I'm a loose cannon ready to blow the fuck up. Shit this sucks.

guess that's what you get for being a drug addict who can't deal with life like real men who don't take happy pills to flood their seratonin receptors because life is so harrrrrrd and meannnnnn ;[[[[[

Stop the meds as soon as you can.
Start meditating EVERY day, 2 times per day. That should bring back some balance. People who have this kind of personality are very interesting but need some kind of special care or they'll off themselves. Certainly no normie hamster wheel types.

people who depend on SSRIs are addicts by nature; you take away their pharmaceutical crutches and they switch to alcohol, tobacco, rec drugs, food, gambling, porn, whatever. They can't just live their day-to-day life without some kind of rush or mentally altered state. They're mentally ill but functional, and there's far too many of them in American society, which explains the mass shootings and demonstrations every time someone gets triggered.
It's amusing how defensive and delusional people on psychiatric meds are. Tell them they're basically using drugs and they'll have a meltdown about how it's legal and how a doctor prescribed it so it's okay and street drugs are totally different etc. So you ask them if they could quit anytime they want, and of course they all say they could. So why don't they? Because they'd be curled up in a fecal position crying all day or having panic attacks in crowded places because they're too scared to face life.

There's a difference between addicts and people in need.
If somebody has potential and needs help for a certain amount of time, a drug can be a good crutch until you can walk again.
The bad part is that I can/do not trust the manufacturers of said medication as I have taken them myself and the effect they had was pretty frightening.
Even more frightening is that doctors are putting these things under ones nose without thinking twice. It's , like all "officially recognized helping hands" - a scam to sedate finely tuned people.
There is better medication from the 70ies, eg. Aurorix, which is low dose and can have a healing effect. Not perfect but better.
-
Fine, I'll bite.
There's a difference between addicts and people in need.
Define "need", because 95% of people on meds shouldn't be on them. Schizophrenics and bipolars are a very small percentage of the population, and most live on the street and don't take anything for their mental problems.
If somebody has potential and needs help for a certain amount of time, a drug can be a good crutch until you can walk again.
Potential for what, though? Normalcy? There's no cure for mental illness, it's the only thing they'll never find a fix for being it would require a lobotomy. Once you're fucked in the head, that's your new normal until they put you in a wooden crate and toss you in the soil. There's no set amount of time for these drugs, you're either on them or you're not, and when you get off them, it's like getting off steroids without PCT. It's brutal and changes your brain's receptors permanently, meaning you're worse off than when you started.
The bad part is that I can/do not trust the manufacturers of said medication as I have taken them myself and the effect they had was pretty frightening.
Yeah, exactly.
Even more frightening is that doctors are putting these things under ones nose without thinking twice. It's , like all "officially recognized helping hands" - a scam to sedate finely tuned people.
That's it. They're turning an entire world into drug addicts and destroying the natural chemical balance by slanting it in one direction, with diminishing returns as time goes on. If you take MDMA every day, eventually you have to up to dose to lethal levels if you still want the same effects as you felt the first time.
There is better medication from the 70ies, eg. Aurorix, which is low dose and can have a healing effect. Not perfect but better.
People in third and second world countries are depressed, miserable, anxious too, but they don't rely on shrinks and drugs to get by. That's a (generally White) first world solution to a complicated problem. I'm not saying there aren't mentally ill people that benefit from drugs - I mentioned a couple of conditions that probably do at the top - but most people on anti-depressants, anti-anxiety meds shouldn't be on them in the first place. They just refuse to deal with their problems so they abuse drugs to cope. If it wasn't prescribed, they'd be scoring drugs in the streets or doing something else that alleviates their addictive personalities. They're pussies. Real men deal with their problems sober.
-
There are many mental techniques a person can use to control their thinking and emotions. Meditation as mentioned earlier, NLP, DHE, Sedona Method, Access Consciousness and even L.Ron Hubbard's stuff works.

If you and your doctor agreed to lower you dose, is it possible to find a balance between the negative and positive aspects of taking this medication? Are there other medications which would level out your mood swings without messing with your sexual performance?

I almost ripped some fucker's head off this weekend when I heard him talk shit to a buddy of mine. I'm a loose cannon ready to blow the fuck up. Shit this sucks.
Could this be a rebound effect? Perhaps you went off the medication too quickly. Like I wrote in the previous response, seek a happy medium or an alternate drug.

guess that's what you get for being a drug addict who can't deal with life like real men who don't take happy pills to flood their seratonin receptors because life is so harrrrrrd and meannnnnn ;[[[[[
Real men don't take drugs. What wonderful advice, Dr. Kwon3. :o :o :o

Its a good question. It's just a feeling of stress for no reason. Your mind could be blank yet you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. You never feel you can catch up with anything. It's not about sporadic panic attacks either. It's just a general uneasiness. Always feeling anxious like you're waiting in a long line to nowhere.
Great explanation!!
It also is a constant feeling that you do not feel comfortable in your own skin .
Good luck with it bro.

There's a difference between addicts and people in need.
If somebody has potential and needs help for a certain amount of time, a drug can be a good crutch until you can walk again.
The bad part is that I can/do not trust the manufacturers of said medication as I have taken them myself and the effect they had was pretty frightening.
Even more frightening is that doctors are putting these things under ones nose without thinking twice. It's , like all "officially recognized helping hands" - a scam to sedate finely tuned people.
There is better medication from the 70ies, eg. Aurorix, which is low dose and can have a healing effect. Not perfect but better.
Doctors sometimes prescribe dosages and/or medications which are excessive. Manufacturer and medically suggested dosages should be just the starting point since different folks respond differently to medication.

You need to decrease the dose 10% every week until the dose becomes so small is negligible. Be sure to do a pct since your anxiety receptors are used to being inhibited, and going off cold turkey will likely cause an increase in cortisol production, and you don't want to lose your gains. You should wait 3 months before taking the meds again, otherwise you burn out your receptors.

Weed a little bit of puss, you smokies!

Wellbutrin might be a good alternative to Citalopram.

rather than dick around with dosages or changing your meds,I've got a better suggestion
just stay away from drugs, it's not worth it

Have you tried running outdoors? (not the stupid treadmill indoors)
Seriously, it's a good high you don't get from lifting. Don't get me wrong, a gym pump is good, but the feeling you get from running is different.
A lot of people have used running to combat depression and other mental issues.
Don't say, "oh, it will make me small." Getting the blood flowing is good. You don't have to go long distances. Start easy/slow and build up.
Give it a try and report back.
Prescription drugs are not the answer to every issue.

Your advice is right on. Back in the day, running or biking outside was an absolute high. Now, I am depressed because it doesn't anylonger seem physically possible for me. At least the treadmills at my local 24 Hour Fitness overlook the Willamette river. It's a poor substitute, but it is better than nothing.

Go see the doctor who prescribed it for you.
Ask him.
Never stop it abruptly or you will withdraw. Taper the dose down slowly.

Worth a try but he could go a bit through the roof with these judging from the way he describes his "moods". I once took them and was so "woke" that I couldn't even go shopping.
On another note - try to think back and remember your childhood and teenage years. Maybe some of your ills are grounded in receiving abuse when younger.
