SSRI's don't significantly impact your drowziness/attention. You're thinking something along the lines of a benzo. SSRI's are seriously worth looking into

depends on the SSRI. some are way more anticholinergic than others. I personally don't recommend SSRI's.... I've tried so many, just doesn't make me feel normal. Zoloft made me have chronic migraines, and that never stopped.
I swear on low dose CBD gummy edibles for anxiety, I just can't afford them.There is only one Hell: the one we live in now.

Benzos work via GABA. SSRI's work by modulating serotonin. Not to say that it's impossible to have side effects but most of them are not related to concentration and are usually temporary resolving in a few weeks (delayed ejaculation/sexual side effects). Yea you do need a prescription but some are more stimulating than others, wouldn't take an SNRI though. Zoloft (sertraline) and citalopram are some of the most common ones.
I'm sorry to hear you had those effects, anticholinergic side effects are not particularly common with SSRIs and something usually associated with tricyclic antidepressants. Your experience is much more so the exception than the rule@aesthetic.md

Doctor prescribed me the cipralex SSRI, starting tomorrow. Going to be my first time using an antidepressant. Really hope it can help me out of this frikked mind rut I've been in for a few years. Anyone who has used it or something similar have issues with libido or energy afterward? He said it could potentially happen, but not likely

I tried that one but after my concussion so it would be different for you. But I've tried a lot of SSRIs, they don't really do anything to libido...not in the way you think. Like it would just be something like, you don't feel the need to masturbate because you're not stressed out or depressed. I've never have erectile dysfunction or horny issues because of antidepressants. However, I did know one guy who swore that Zoloft/Sertraline gave him permanent erectile dysfunction, but that's the only person i've ever heard it from.

Yeah unfortunately it's not instant lol. These things take time, I forgot the explanation, but it could take 3-6 weeks to notice a difference.
Doesn't work for everyone, it can be life-changing though, I had a friend years ago, he was in a bad place, he was always miserable, lost in life, unmotivated in college, then he started taking antidepressants...all that misery chat stopped, and now he's super focused on school, I think he ended up graduating from college.There is only one Hell: the one we live in now.

Haven't posted here in years but I'm in Ireland and we're in Covid lockdown with no end in sight - no shops, gyms, or restaurants open, working from home and my GF and me separated for the duration (still together but she was with her family when the lockdown started and decided to stay), had a new job lined up in Paris and now it's on hold. One positive is that I have been working out consistently and I have access to a good home gym. I don't get the usual good feeling after I train at least I'll have some gains in the summer when this is over. It's hard to see light at the end of the tunnel at the moment because our coward government only have one response to covid - full blown lockdowns where they pay people to sit at home and do nothing. The lockdowns have general public support from the people being paid turbo dole (welfare) to wank off at home.
I'm on low dose SSRI (Amitriptyline) and it doesn't seem to be doing anything, anyone else used it?Ayatollah Khomeini in the sheets, Ayatollah Khamenei in the streets

Being abused growing up has made me into a very weird person. I feel like a bizarre abnormal person who can't ever be normal. I'm very sensitive and emotional and really shy. I feel like my life is just passing by and I'm waiting for death but I'm too young to die naturally so it's a nightmare to live. Trying to numb myself and failing everyday. At this point I feel like I should just cry everyday and beg the universe to end my life somehow.

That sounds like enough THC for...a mild high?? Doesn't matter one way or another, except for those who may not want to be high.
Good to read about PARNATE as an option (via hidingwithmusic two posts above yours). At worst, I may have mild depression at this time of year - probably a mild version of SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder (due to short daylight days in Chicago). Nothing quite warranting meds, though I was perilously close to that last spring for a couple months due to the lockdowns and quarantines.
My freezer (part of the refrigerator, not a "deep freezer") is filled nearly to capacity again, as it was in early April last year. I'm going into a period of pretty serious quarantine for a few weeks, because COVID is making it pretty rocky out there.
And certainly good to read, eod8989, that you'll ask your Dr. about Parnate. Certainly you'll never know without trying it, and your Dr. knows your case-history and he/she should know if that med is indicated for you or not. I know nothing at all about it.
As usual I send out best wishes and aloha to all of you and, hey, all of you made it through 2020! That surely isn't a bad thing. (I actually had a neighbor over to shove 2020's sorry ass out the door, and I made sure I got drunk. Haven't done THAT since May 2010!)Last edited by frankfrank3630; 01-18-2021 at 02:00 PM.

Had an episode the other day and am back in feel-like-chit-city.
I'm in my late 20s, still live at home, no car, TFW no gf, keenly aware that I'm a fuk up and have had depressoin/anxiety since my teens. Seems to be that 3-4 years is the timeframe for reality to bite me in the ass as I had meltdowns in 2013/17 as well. I work a schitty job that I have no love for, basically a glorified call centre, although we're working from home thanks to the coof.
Just reading an email about something some kunt disagreed with and I went off. Picked stuff up and started smashing it against the floor, throwing against the wall etc. Totally emotionally exhausted afterwards, kind of cried (face screwed up and tears but no sobbing if that makes sense). Been thinking about suicide more and more the past few weeks and, unlike in prvious years, don't think I care if killing myself would hurt family and friends.
Am currently off work on sick leave, have contacted my doctor and a suicide prevention/depression awareness company to discuss, just fed up. I can't imagine myself moving on in life and I hate that I am where I've been for basically a decade. Yeah I went to uni since leaving school but it was in my hometown and it was worthless so I'm basically no further along in life. Just kepe thinking "I wanna rope myself" throughout the day and I'm so fcking tired.

Now that my depression is going away and I'm becoming normal, I'm more motivated now than I've been in many years for a successful career. I've been faced with the blues since the 2nd grade and it not only took a toll on my mental health but has also given me unexplained back problems as well. The parnate is slowly fixing my back to normal and soon I can work and I'll no longer need social security benefits! It's a very bad time to start looking for jobs during the covid19 pandemic which put us in high unemployment. I'm looking to enroll in a 7 month welding class at my local technical college and after I graduate have a job program find me work. We have plenty of welding jobs in my state here in Louisiana... a shortage of them.... I want to become certified as a Welding Inspector in 2 years and then bust my ass for 4 or 5 more and take off time to finish my management degree at LSU so I can be considered faster for promotions and working for more money.
Parnate is the best drug I've ever taken and the diet restrictions are overblown! I still eat the same diet as before with the only problem i have come across is a headache at times.. only 4 weeks ago i was disabled in bed, unhappy, hopeless, and suicidal to now becoming the me again that family and friends grew to know! Consider it, guys! Especially all of you who are Treatment Resistant Depressed!!!Last edited by hidingwithmusic; 01-22-2021 at 08:44 AM.

really frustrated. Only thing I look forward to is seeing an overpriced escort crush. I can't afford her. I miss my oneitis. I'm socially awkward and shy and therapists literally just tell me to go talk to people when or go to a bar or use dating apps (rofl) when I can't. I'm not a social guy man. I just want a woman.
And getting really annoyed at these incel stock conversations like GME. I don't care man. And my sister acts just like me but she life mogs me so hard because she has a vagina. It's really unfair and I'm frustrated to no end.
