Not sure if i should start taking anti depressants

[Deleted member 2130]

He prescribed me Ritalin together with Effexor (SSRI). I refused to take the SSRI. But what if that's a clever combo? Makes sense maybe, Ritalin increase concentration but the SSRI decreases the side effects of Ritalin like anxiety and no motivation. Still would never take that shit from stories i have heard

But you can't possibly know how Effexor would make you feel without trying . I know sertaline made me feel like shit, wellbutrin made me feel weird. Valdoxan, mirtazapine didn't do shit, except made me sleepy Only Strattera and lamotrigine helped so far. The latter is a drug for bipolar-cels to stabilize their mood. Worked for me as well and I am not bipolar. But we are not the same so... If Effexor make you feel bad just stop it after a few weeks

Permanent sides only occur if you take SSRIs for a long time and then you stop it cold turkey. Well I only took that for 2 months that was not for long, but sides went away after stopping

Im mostly intriguing by MAOI antidepressants, they are the most effective ones, the nukes of anti depressants, and the way they work is much more linear, so they won't cause some post ssri like syndrome

MAOIs are allegedly good for anhedonia. Never tried them

Yeah, ssri are more for suicidal sadness and general anxiety, not for anhedonia like my case. MAOIs are a nuke, they literally increase all of the neurotransmitters in your brain

[Gaygymmaxx]

I don't have major depression, but i do think i have mild depression with mild anhedonia, problem is i don't know if this is caused by ADHD or not. But i doubt its actually the ADHD, for example Ritalin doesn't do shit to motivate me to do stuff, I just don't have motivation for life, no motivation to wake up every day, like whats the point? Where am i going with this? Whats my future? Beinf a wagie? Is that it? At the same time im not suicidal but i wish i felt like when i was 14 again, i was full of motivation for life back then.

Not sure if I should do anti depressants tbh, thoughts?

Depression meds will ruin you and turn you into a husk without them depending on how long you take it. If you're not already into fitness start now, eat better, get therapy, don't take that shit. I've done plenty and it never lasts and doesn't give you the skills to cope after going off.

Effexor is SNRI, I took it because I have a nerve pain in my scalp. It helped with the nerve pain but the sides were too much to handle.

Decreased cognitive ability, bad memory, dull.

The withdrawal symptoms are like dying... I went cold turkey, it was brutal asf.

I got tinnitus from it.





I still have that disgusting nerve pain. It happens when I frow my eyebrows + upper eyelids uncontrollably.

Idk what to do tbh... I'm scared of antidepressants because of the brutal sides.

[spam_artist]

they wont do much for anhedonia and dysthymia

they can only be useful for people who are completely paralyzed by depression, since they make them somewhat functional

 

[spam_artist]

Do not fucking take them, these drugs cause permanent brain damage and other neurological issues, they fuck with bodily functions, AVOID AVOID AVOID, Look up the horror stories. You DONT want to be on these dangerous drugs.

stfu, retard

i am just overstimulated as fuck.

i am consuming all day every day, youtube, looksmax, reddit, social media blah blah
my mind is constantly stimulated.

i do do stuff irl also, i have a gf, i have hobbies like physical acitivities, i do gym, i go socialise, i have sex
but still i am anhedonic and just bored by everything. it is so impossible to be entertained.. or it never lasts..

drugs provide relief for me for a short while but it never lasts so im taking a break. i need something more sustainable.

at the end of the day i just dont think humans are evolved to deal with this constant mental stimulation and you just adapt neurologically and need more. it is just the sad reality of existence. you never truly 'arrive'. but you can say the same for all achievements in life tbh.

I think ageing also decreases this shit, i never feel that feeling of infatuation with girls like i did as a young teen, or sense of amazement at a game or movie or show or book or holiday. everything is just so meh.

i dont think drugs will help tbh though. how could they, modern understanding of the brain is soooo underdeveloped. psychiatrists just throw shit in the dark and sometimes it sticks.

you can try anti depressents, it may improve your mood. of course there are some risks such as libido loss, or worsening of depression.

actual down depression is worse than anhedonia tbh ive experienced both

Okay, then my question is, will there be no deaths in my close family for the next 5 years at least?

you could do hormone panel and see if you are low t. I was low t at mid late twenties, not sure why seeing as I look like a normally developed male, but my t was dogshit. it may be due to drug use in teens, anti depressent use, accutane, dopamine stimulation, water plastics whatever.

i did TRT and it improved the quality of my life a LOT. as in, more energy, feel better mentally and physically. it also increased muscle mass and d size. The levels that I use it are not even meme trt its actual replacement trt, as in, I just have mid-high test levels, not top of the end, not over the top. My dose is super fucking low (under 100mg pw) but it is enough to get the benefits without looksminning from norwood acne and gyno. I have no interest/intent in actual steroid abuse because of norwood and acne.

the benefits were much more psychological than looks wise

Honestly trt is one of the best things I did for quality of life. But obviously, it is not magic that fixes the reality of existence.

There was a survey for anhedonia-cels in a forum, these were the medications that helped them (from best to worst)

i dont think there is a magical fix

more sun, less rotting, double jaw surgery, finding hobbies and taking up personal projects, good nutrition and sleep, girls if accessible, having a good time with friends, alcohol, drugs, buying tony robbins' books, gaming, bullying minorities, you name it

depends on the person. for most people, it's for life, imo

I have no idea what can help you. But avoid SSRIs and SNRIs if these cause side effects for you, opt for a different (atypical) antidepressant that doesn't belong to these type of medications.

I’m thinking about going cold turkey on setraline right now and taking more gabapentin to manage anxiety/ withdrawals I’m not sure what to do, I’m done with these ssris tho

Could you describe her appearance? Height, body type, weight, hair color etc

I just want a good drug for nerve pain.


SSRIs: weak effect and not that ugly sides.

SNRIs: strong effect but bad ugly sides.

Maybe that is the drug that would help @Kroker gabapentin is also used to treat neuropathic pain

I took Gabapentin dose 600 MG shit done nothing. I know doses can be up to 1900 MG to manage nerve pains.


Maybe gonna go to a general practitioner I've been reading that they are better with prescribing meds.

Idk tbh antidepressants can be effective to neuropathic pain. But at the same time it fucks up body functions.

I was on Lustral 50MG and quit that shit within a month. Had zero withdrawals.

Anyway I advice you not to quit anything coldturkey because you might catch a long term side effect. As I had tinnitus when I did the same with Effexor.

Also when starting a medication take it gradually. And raise accordingly to the desired dose.

 

[Deleted member 15164]

Don't take them. They will ruin your life hard.

 

[Deleted member 15164]

You will lose motivation to do things. You will gain a shit ton of weight which will be impossible to burn off. Add that on top of having no friends or girls due to not being NT.

Keep gymcelling. Keep those t levels high. Also find a job you actually like or atleast proud of. In the meantime hop between wageslaving jobs for higher pay.
