How do I get my doctor to stop prescribing SSRIs?

[Preoximerianas]

I went today to try and get an medication to deal with my generalized anxiety disorder. I was on prozac for a month but then I read this:

The Dark Side of Serotonin (MEGATHREAD)

The final nail to serotonin's coffin ITT! I hope that with providing this as a whole it aids in learning in effective way about serotonin. If you little time, you may just can scan through this post, but if you have the time and are critical, the actual studies are just two mouse click away...

Stopped using that shit immediately after reading the studies that were linked. That was like a year ago and my anxiety still hasn't been dealt with. I read this:

Reminder That Anything People Say On r/Nootropics And Youtube Is Pure Cope

This post is a reminder that anything you read about cognitive enhancement and improving your social skills through r/nootropics and YouTubers like Boost Your Biology means fuck all. Do not cope with muh nootropics/supplements, it is meant for people who still believe in placebo and want to...

Thought you know what, let me book an appointment with my doctor and see if I can get prescribed something from that list. Until I get to the appointment and this dude gasses up prozac, and SSRIs in general. Basically saying he's the most comfortable prescribing it, that a lot of his patients that are on it are on it for their lives. Even that this is prescribed to children so it's highly accredited and safe, threw around 50 years too.

So, are the only two options maybe deal with my anxiety disorder or have a barely functional dick + be emotionless? Cause even when learning about the blackpill I never even thought about roping. But genuinely, the idea of dealing with this disorder for the rest of my life genuinely might have me rope. I cannot deal with 40 more years of this

Look into Wellbutrin it's not an SSRI it uptakes dopamine instead. It makes me feel very focused and energized.

what does generalized anxiety disorder feel like? How do you feel without meds?

 

[Deleted member 19567]

id believe those meds make you worst. better off not taking them imo. no drug should be for life. Thats crippling level of living. especially for anxiety, which is literally something all people have.

Sometimes i think they have a drug for literally any human feeling and normal function. I can go to the doc and say i remembered a dream and they might think i need some scizo drugs, too.

Instead of worry avout your doctor actually having good judgement you should probably take responsibility for your own body and just stop going to him. Rather take hers than ssris. Pretty sure you could have some luck with mushroom extracts

You know that anxious feeling you get? When you're about to talk to a girl or do a presentation? For normal people supposedly it goes down right after but for me it never goes away. Like genuinely from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep I have an anxious feeling. Right before talking to a girl or doing a presentation my anxiety is on cloud 9, it's out of orbit. But when I actually do it my anxiety goes down but never goes away jfl. When eating out in public my anxiety would get to a point that I would basically feel nauteous and full but the moment I throw my food away I feel hungry again.

I started keeping track of it in 2012 so it's been going on for like what, over a decade now? From 2012 to 2017 I thought this was normal, that everyone felt like this. Until I took a Psychology course and it felt like slamming into a brick wall going 90, turns out this isn't normal.

I would rather rope.

But like how do I convince by doctor to just not prescribe me SSRIs? The dude sounded like Eli Lilly and Company's strongest soldier with how much he was trying to market this stuff.

I have terrible anxiety too, but im not sure if i actually do, or i think i do. Your description does not sound abnormal to me at all if im being honest. I had those exact same feelings and i even wake up gut wrenching anxiety unless i have a good dream. Im what people would call "religious" also, so i also have a constant fear of eternal damnation. Maybe this is the source.

At the end of the day, i cant even know how other people feel, its impossible. That psyco study could have been made by an NPC that has no idea of trauma, so its hard to say my high anxiety is even high at all, or normal either. The world is also pretty fucked up and paranormal, so really cant guaze the base level either. A lot of people think their normal but irl are just as insane. Even your doctor advertising like that is abnormal behavior imo.

Idk, i dont trust it. Theres too many solutions out there that treat high inhib or high anxiety behaviors other than ssris. Even alcohol does that. And whos to say its even a problem in the first place. People in todays time have a tendency to make a problem out of normal behaviors.

Mine strongly advised me against SSRI's and said Wellbutrin is best, weird that yours is such a shill. Can you change doctor's? Or just tell him specifically you're scared of certain SSRI side effects and want Wellbutrin instead

He's a fat boomer at a local clinic.

I guess I can pretend to use it for a month and then tell him that it's not doing anything and that I'm not comfortable after looking up the potential side effects. If that doesn't work I'll just change clinics which might be what I end up doing because the amount this man shilled for this stuff was absurd.

I woulnt beat around the bush tbh. my experience with doctors is that they will go with their judgement unless your direct on what your looking for. Your giving him too much room and extra steps by beating around. Contact him asap, tell him your having bad sides andor dont want/will not take it anymore, and specify what your looking for directly. Also a good alpha exercise.

I've done the tests and they said my anxiety is severe, talked to people and they've genuinely never experienced what I'm talking about. Like at that point it just solidified what I found out after taking that Psychology course.

Hell, the anxiety is bad enough that stuff like alcohol, weed, etc. either don't do anything or makes it worse. Like this shit is that pervasive, refuses to go away.

Thought about injecting this because I read it's good but I also got it prescribed

Are you really 5’2? No drug will fix this lol

i get anxiety too, i just do shit regardless. imo its good, adrenaline and hromones etc for better performance and focus, excitement and nervous are very similar, u can reframe it. its innate, its impossible to supress so harness it. its there for a reason. ur not meant to be calm when bear attacks you. but ye if its severe might need meds idk im no doc
