Have any of you robots actually been on a good anti depressant? Ive been prescribed xanax but don't want to fuck myself over using them so I'm looking for a daily med to help social anxiety. Has anyone here been on one that worked well for them?
how about you actually figure out what you're talking about before attempting to discuss it with someone lad
I've taken a bunch of SSRIs. They help my social anxiety a lot
only thing anti """""depressants""""" was make me more sad, my family take more and more pity, and make my dick not work
be glad you have xanax though, I could go for some
I've been on 11 different antidepressants of various different classes including the old tricyclics and none of them did anything. Fairly convinced they're placebo at this point.

What? I'm just looking for opinions. I've been on SSRIs and SNRIs but not much have worked

im on 100mg of zoloft once a day for depression/social and general anxiety
it works pretty well for me for the most part. its not a happy pill. it just balances things out. makes me not want to kill myself, yaknow?
i used to have real bad social anxiety and the meds did help, but mostly i got over it by kicking myself in the ass and making myself do things i wasnt comfortable with ie making phone calls, going to stores by myself, etc. forcing myself to do those things got me over the social anxiety and i'd say im pretty good now

currently on this shit called provigil (200mg) which is usually for narcolepsy and it's helped me a lot. I have a lot more energy. I was on lexapro for a while and it worked for a while then didn't. Now im on this stuff called brintellix but it doesnt start working for a while but I feel ok with the provigil and exercise

Ibuprofen is the miracle drug to your problems
Lexapro, but it makes me wake up in the middle of the night.
Anyone have experience with Fluoxetine/Prozac? Doc wants to switch me on to it from citalopram
Anyone else worried that they might be immune to antidepressants? I feel like I have tried most of them and none of them really worked.

Treatment resistant depression is a thing
>>27390253
I am worried I have that, therapy does not work for me either. What can I even do at this point?
There's a reason depression doesn't exist in most places on earth.
For western people, try spending 2 weeks outside. It will cure your meme illness 97% of the time.

Keep seeking help, don't give up until they try everything. I've heard about ECT in extreme cases
Try therapy again? There's evidence that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of therapy so a different therapist is worth a try

Depression has been observed in every country on Earth. Its a genetic disorder affecting serotonin reuptake, and cannot be cured just by going outside.

Not always, but sometimes, maybe. "Drug deficiency" is what the drug companies would like you to believe, though.
It's a constantly rejiggered spectrum of symptoms that can be caused and treated by innumerable things, and what gets considered "depression" is political.
Some antidepressants boost serotonin. Others boost norepinephrine. Adderall/amps boost dopamine. Some act in a novel or unclear way like mirtazipine. Any of them can treat or cure "depression", or not, or just mask it, depending on what is actually causing the "depression."

People don't understand depression until they get it
It's a chemical imbalance, not a character defect
