Antidepressants are good for a selected few

[Kroker]

Everytime I'm put on them I feel better in both aspects, mentally & physically.

I'll be trying Trintellix/Luvox soon.

Not all drugs can benefit people and not all cases can be medicated but I'm one of those people with very low serotonin and chronically elevated levels of cortisol/adrenaline/noradrenaline.

Not to mention my life is not liveable atm with all the physical symptoms hindering my will to live.

I didn't get the mention notification for this for some reason

Yeah, I've had many people have it work well for them. I think I personally just have a shit tolerance + unrelated to another problem I have which I think is my only real psychological problem. ( psychosomatic symptoms), I won't get into it since I have a habit of turning all my replies into drawn out essays.

On top of shit tolerance, I was prescribed a decently dosed lexapro treatment which I think is on the stronger side vs lore common ones like Zoloft + taking tricyclics along at the same time + my retarded doctor giving me standard male dosages when I weigh the same as a 14 yo girl

r/antipsychiatry is a dark place, but still same as PFS (post fin syndrome) forums where people are reporting adversity from fin, not all people can handle certain medications.

Plus they are mainly getting injections of antipsychotics, not lightweight SSRIs

What psychosomatic symptoms? No bro I like detailed responses, I don't suffer from TT attention span, I can read it all.

My only symptoms that's driving me nuts is tingly scalp, tho it's much better nowadays, I just want to eliminate any remaining bothering sensations.

Plus I don't look overall healthy cuz of elevate cortisol and dysregulated HPA axis.

What's your treatment timeframe? Last Dr told me it will take 9 months.

I was prescribed Zoloft 200mg, Olanzpine 5mg, BuSpar 20mg.

And yeah lol I'm underweight. I hated the fact that I'm dosed up on 3 meds, preferably I want to be relying on only one med to mitigate side effects exposure.

Im gonna be using floxetine is that goated?

Depends, btw it's all trial and error. You never know.

What might benefit someone, might harm you and vice versa.

Story

In the sense that I'm paranoid about many things I can't stop worrying about yet I know they are completely irrational fears ( I find reasons to justify my paranoia which keeps me from preventing healing )

I have psychosomatic symptoms when dealing with plastics, EDC's, lack of privacy etc.

For example, this morning I was forced to use a plastic straw. In my mind I'm thinking "Holy shit I'm ingesting microplastics"

Most people drink through a straw fine but I legit feel sick after doing so, and I go home and I just feel dizzy, week, disgusted. etc. Not just placebo effect but sometimes I legit genuinely gag, get sick like having a flu or even get blackouts following experiences where I was forced by either parents or social dictation to follow through with an activity that I find "toxic"

Same thing happens when I accidentally smell perfume from someone else's body. My mind screams "toxic foreign material" and in my mind I am visually imaging brain-cell death, microplastics and chemicals lodged in my organs, sickness etc.

When I am in my room, I legit have to make sure all camera's are pointed away from me, my parents can't hear me nor open the door, my headphones aren't leaking too much audio outside and that all my windows and other possible privacy breaches are out of the window. Recent triggers got me back into using a very striped down version of linux with a TWM and just a browser. Minimal background processes, just terminal and browser. Otherwise I feel naked, vulnerable and laughed at.

This was one of the reasons I was admitted in the first place. I was irrationally bitchy to my parents about not eating at certain shops because they may use a plastic utensil or something, or maybe they use tea bags instead of loose leaf tea which is else contaminated etc. The tipping point was when I through out a lot of nylon clothes and started to wear gloves + started using a lot of alternative hygiene products.

Crux of the situation

1) Stopping these symptoms indefinitely. They come and go but they never really leave. I sometimes let my guard down but it always creeps back onto me. When I am in these periods, I can only be describes as paranoid, isolated and miserable.

2) Finding for legitimate ways to overcome this. I am aware that I am completely irrational, I am aware that this whole ordeal is completely retarded, yet I somehow can do the simple thing and "just stop". I recognize the problem clearly, but I am unable to resolve it.

Have you started medicating?

I think I suffer mainly from OCD, that's causing chronic stress / anxiety

 

[White_Bwoi]

Yeah so many drugs, people are more medicated then ever for depression/anxiety/adhd and yet suicides & levels of depression are on the rise..
I would like to find something that work for me, but going through these medications is a painful / slow / costly process:

Many years ago I developed a serious anxiety problems to the point of panic attacks and all that shit.
Tried Sertraline/Paroxetine - insane appetite/gain weight/zombie mode/awful
Venlafaxine - weight loss - lack of appetite (for 2-3months)/weird mood/aggression/irritability/low-inhibition (good for slaying) but... LOWER LIBIDO and positive effects are ovverided by negative in my case after few months
I gave up with this shit tbh I still have (after years) some 'additional stuff'
- Trazodone - great for sleep when you fuck up your 'cycle'
- Pregabaline - known low inhib - Xanax_LITE - without dangers of benzodiazepines but you adapt quickly and must increase dosage, - from time to time - great
- Benzo - mogs all, but can't take this shit often it will fuck up your life if addicted

I need visit some shrink to get 'something' if things get dark again, now I don't take nothing for few years, occasionally something for sleep or pregab - sound cringe but regular gym does work better then these life altering substances (for me)

I dropped literally everything

Even stopped the occasional sleep aids and other minor stuff

Completely drug free which has its pros and cons
