SSRIs fuck up your brain chemistry, you should stop taking those meds and start exercising instead.

[jaw_is_law]

Doctors will prescribe you methamphetamines, mind altering drugs, drugs that cause permanent health and brain damage and not give a shit about you because they can make a lot of money off of you. I think you should think twice about taking any of that meds and probably should get off of it because it has been proven beyond a doubt that SSRIs fuck up with your brain chemistry once you get off of it if you take it for a long time

and this cannot be reversed easily. There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance in the brain that leads to depression, The brain is naturally wanting to go into a state of homeostasis and when you take these meds they kick it out of homeostasis and can cause permanent damage to your brain and that can make you reliant on that medication and cause even more severe withdrawal symptoms once you get off it. They are trying to suck you into this trap

in short SSRIs actually raise the risk of suicide not lower it which is fascinating to know and I think everyone should know this, instead of taking those drugs you should consider just exercising for an hour twice a day, in fact exercise creates natural endorphins that are released in the brain that cause you to feel happy and less depressed and nobody tells you this.

Nice post man I already left taking them felt much better I already knew all this bullshit

SSRi reverse hippocampal shrinkage by stimulaiting bdnf , it promotes neurogenesis in the long term. The risk of suicide is because of emotional blunting so people are less fearful/anxious when having suicidal tendencies. Of course exercise leads to neurogenesis and protmotes overall fitness and is superior.

botb worthy mods, 100% true, it's what happened to me, these drugs are the equivalent of cutting of a limb because of a scratch. Serotonin is linked to many different systems including the dopamine reward system and it becomes permanently fucked after taking these drugs

it depends on how long you take it but if you have been taking SSRIs for more than a few years then the damage is irreversible but if you have only been taking it for 1 or 2 years then you can reverse it over time

i would disagree, i've heard of plenty of reports from myself and others that have developed permanent anhedonia/ emotional blunting and sexual dysfunction from these drugs after taking them for less than a year. If anyone is thinking of taking these drugs DON'T

I agree with you. nobody should ever take these drugs

SSRIs mog hard if you have anxiety/depression. Untretead mental illness can cause brain damage and completely plummet your life quality in the short term. Also ssris make you fuck like a sex god and give you long and intense orgasms.

SSRI’s save lives and if you think other wise you’re an idiot. Consult with a professional. Results vary from individual to individual.

BULLSHIT

did you just refuse to read like the 20 different articles and actual scientific studies that state otherwise and make your assumptions off one person?

 

[jaw_is_law]

SSRI’s save lives and if you think other wise you’re an idiot. Consult with a professional. Results vary from individual to individual.

sure it saves lives but at what cost? irreparable brain damage? why would you need an artificial cure when you can have a natural cure?

all prescription medications are based off of nature from many sources such as plants, animals, minerals, microbial, synthetic and biotechnologically. why not just do what your body naturally does and exercise which creates the same endorphins and chemicals that antidepressants can do but without the side effects?

 

[EverythingMaxxer]

What if you’re depressed and suicidal?

 

[jaw_is_law]

What if you’re depressed and suicidal?

well taking SSRIs will increase your risk of suicide. but I cannot force you to stop taking them all I can say is that exercise creates the same endorphins and chemicals that reduce depression as SSRIs so hypothetically if you exercise for one hour twice a day then that can make you less depressed, it wont cure your depression but it will improve your mood over time

well I guess you could exercise all day then and I mean that literally if you start exercising all day and read happy, positive, self help books that will rewire your brain and rebuild your psychology slowly over time.

What meds have you tried?

 

[wristcel]

if you have proper social anxiety and or depression etc, there's no otehr alternative. You can excercise (which most do anyway) and drink more water or whatever, but it won't cut any ice.

SSRI's and things like nardal and even adhd meds etc are probably the way to go if you plan to fit in better with the world and be more happy and not fully of anxiety and depressed etc

you may be right but shouldnt everyone who takes SSRIs be aware of the possible life altering side effects and risks that come with taking it?

 

[EverythingMaxxer]

What meds have you tried?

Lexapro, prozac, webultrin

 

[Tom Jones]

Yes they can have side effects and are usually very ineffective with anything other than mild depression or anxiety. But they are very misunderstood.

You briefly touched on homeostatic regulation. This is what happens when you take SSRI’s too. As extrasynaptic Serotonin increases, serotonin receptors decrease in density. If you are lucky they are decreased in the places that will benefit you. Especially 5HT2A is well researched. People with overexpression in certain brain areas are much more likely to experience Panic and anxiety.
Which is why LSD or classic psychedelics are effective. They are very potent 5HT2A (partial) agonists and can relieve anxiety for weeks.

Also even tho methamphetamine is indicated for obesity/ADHD in some places, it’s practically never prescribed because of its potential (imo way overblown) risk of neurotoxicity.

Also as said earlier SSRIs simulate neurogenesis in the SGZ of the hippocampus.
And In my preliminary research may slow Alzheimer’s onset

Seemingly the antidepressant effect of the many popular SSRIs are increased BDNF and increased Allopregnanolone neurosteroidogenesis and not due to Serotonin. What a scam

Lexapro, prozac, webultrin

This is great news for you actually. You've only gotten through 3 ADs (and Lexapro and Prozac work on the same system so really only 2!) You have so much potential to feel better.

A low dose Lithium add on (300-900mg a day) has great evidence at reducing suicidal thoughts. I have taken 600mg a day for a while now and it has definitely reduced my suicidal thoughts.

Mirtazapine with an SNRI also shows good results on depression.
