ITT: anyone's antidepressants fucking up their fitness? what do?
inb4: "you don't need meds faggot". I don't want to hear about it. last time I went off my meds I was nearly committed to a psych ward.
Try different meds. Or, a better idea, talk to your fucking doctor who knows this kinda shit
I took ssri and benzo for OCD. It didn't do anything except make me really fucking weird and pretty lethargic. Glad to be off them; wish they had worked better.
Also: Fuck psychiatrists.
I take welbutrin and Zoloft for my life long major depressive disorder. Haven't had any major episodes in awhile and the side effects are pretty non-existent.

Story?

I'm unmotivated with and without my SSRI, still trying to figure something out but I'm never going to make it it feels like

have you tried taking a lower dose? 25-50% of the prescribed dosage is more effective for me
I kicked koloanipin after being on it for almost 3 years. thankfully kicked it for almost 2 years. started taking some of my left overs last week and my social gains have a been suffering. I need to just flush the rest of them

I have been to a psych hospital. It isn't that bad. It is not really where you want to be though. My meds did not fuck with my fitness, my depression which was mostly unfazed by my meds did. Fuck depression it is the worst.

i'm not on it anymore but lexapro fucked my shit up

Bipolar schizo here, can't be off my meds for any amount of time. Feel they help me focus on fitness as a hobby.
Taking Pristiq, it's pretty gr8 m8 I r8 it 8/8
Was taking Cipralex before that. Would make me manic for the first few weeks, baseline, then depressed again until I got it out of my system.
Everyone's different though, you may need to try multiple drugs.
Fun fact; a side effect of Pristiq is vivid dreams, which I'm happy to report I get. Really handy since I love lucid dreaming. These dreams are fucking intense

Similar as you. I got diagnosed with schizoaffective order, I'll be stark raving loony if I don't take my meds. Plus I just take in caffeine if my meds make me tired.

Taper off your meds fgt
tren + lexapro = infinite appetite and infinite gains
why would your ssri's fuck with your fitness
Bi polar here, take lamotrigine and cipralex. No bad fit related side effects except for some bad sleep days.

this
While I was suffering with depression I couldn't make any progress in the gym at all, even when being strict as fuck with my routine, sleep, and macros
was at the point where I was even going to the doctor to get blood tests done and getting my test levels checked because I was convinced something was wrong
couple years later after taking a break from lifting and being on meds for a small period and I'm making all kinds of strength gains
>>36689997
I've always thought about getting meds for my depression but I doubt it'll end up helping me in the long run. Especially since they're not supposed to be a lifetime thing
I'll just keep coping with memes and gains. I didn't need a social life anyway
