Is anyone on here taking antidepressants? (Zoloft, Prozac, etc...)

[Sad Bunny]

elaborate?

elaborate?

I was on it last year for anxiety and it did nothing for me



I don't smoke anymore but smoking a black 'n'mild will help u more with anxiety and depression than Zoloft



call me crazy but that was the situation for me






I'm thinking about copping some electric cigs.....(can't rock with tobacco anymore and don't wanna end up getting lung cancer)

 

[semtex]

was on proziggity but quit cold turkey in February. no withdrawals. My horniness is back

Zoloft, Prozac ect... ain't that the sh*t they had Mike Tyson on.... to help him sit his *ss down somewhere?

I stopped taking those nearly two years ago....I used to be on fluoxetine and I'm glad I gave those up.

In my personal experience, taking organic herbs like mimosa tree bark (the best imo), kava kava, st johns wort and valerian root works wonders...they work just as good as any anti depressant, there's no side effects and you don't get withdrawal symptons when you stop taking them.

Also, like somebody else said meditation helps too. Find some classes that teach you how to do it properly.

I wanna stress organic herbs. Make sure it's plant based. I don't fukk with anything from Holland & Barrett or the local chemist.

A lot of people comfort eat, but junk food exacerbates the problem. I eat blueberries and raisins and other fruits of the dark variety. I don't snack on crisps, sweets and all that other stuff anymore. Although it tastes nasty as hell, sometimes I eat dark chocolate.

Physical exercise makes a difference.

BTW don't listen to idiots who say you're "weak".

Like I said, it made me feel like a zombie. Whenever i took it i felt numb, no emotions and it made me quieter than i was before.

My anxiety is the real killer. I sit up all night anxious and worried about dumb shyt. It can literally keep me up until 5 a.m. when I try to sleep at midnight

Maybe you need talk therapy. Perhaps you have not processed the loss of your father.

WTF are you staying up worrying about all night? DON'T JUST SIT THERE; DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, NEGRO!!!

I have a friend on Lexapro. Made her hair shed a bit. Her problems are prolonged, but she still sleeps. Sometimes she doesn't eat enough and gets a lil underweight. A change is gonna come.

i see a shrink once a week

 

[same damn lo sweater]

i'm on prozac, but it'll be a few more weeks till i notice any difference

i'm taking propranolol & hydroxyzene for anxiety.

propranolol is fukkin amazing. anybody w/ anxiety problems should try it. it shuts down all physical symptoms of anxiety, so it lowers your heart rate, no racing thoughts, that part of your brain that gives you negative feedback is shut off. feel like i can finally relax for once

 

[Pazzy]

Nah that shyt is poison. Took some of that stuff in college for a month or so. Threw it in the bushes. I'm giving up weed soon for much the same reason. It doesn't just affect your depression, it affects every emotion you have. It makes you emotionally sterile, kind of apathetic to everything. And then, when you come off them, you find that you haven't dealt with the issue that was depressing you in the first place, you just suppressed your feelings through the drugs.

I cannot recommend them. People who depend on anti-depressants tend to stay on them for years. Instead, find what's bothering you, confront it, eliminate it, and grow as a person.

the truth.

 

[Chesirecatdaddy]

I think it is time I look into getting some

LOL NO

thank you kind sir, i'm going to have to give that a try.

for those who suffer from anxiety, do any of you have derealization / depersonalization as a side effect? I suffer from derealization, and it's been an ongoing thing for close to 6 years now. it's so messed up. whenever i think of my life, i divide it into two categories: pre-derealization and post-derealization. it messes you up so bad..
