...which made me leave a community I had been a member of last two years. Now in October my mood has deteriorated again mostly due to lesser amount of sunlight available and work stress. I had restart my ssri medication which I hope will alleviate my symptoms. I am so grateful for this forum 🙏

...body and brain, and Brain tend to stop being anxious because it’s on the verge of checking out and going to sleep. Or 2) if you’re taking an SSRI antidepressant, google the info sheet for the medication. There’s a good chance that poor concentration or focus is on there as a potential side...

...I’m being treated for CPTSD and MDD but I actually think that I should be treated for ADHD and OCD too. In the past I have been on MAOI and SSRI meds but I did not respond well, hence my doctor’s referral for psychiatry. The SSNRI is Duloxetine 30mg; I have been taking it since early...

...Study Youtube videos of the effect of Narcissistic parents on males. I recommend Dr Ramani. 3. Consider trialling a change to an SNRI if on an SSRI. Pristiq or Effexor. I found Effexor too agitating. Everyone is different. I have not had a panic attack after starting Pristiq DESVENLAFAXINE...

...but gabapentin 600mg (I'm slender, 120 lbs) twice a day helps level my mood swings triggered by hypervigilance. It also helps me experience positive emotions, but I am very aware of practicing gratitude, so the two go well together. I also take an SSRI (VERY helpful) and spot treat with xanax.

Thanks. I do take an ssri and did see my gp a few days ago, and doubled my dose since then (I had previously gone down to a very small amount). I’m confident it will help, it just sucks right now while the worst of it coincides with the busiest family time that I had been looking forward to. It...

...unexpectedly more serotonin receptors, they think the body tried to create them to heal itself, but they were faulty. Which might explain why SSRI's help for some but not all. They also said there are 2 areas of the brain on opposite sides: one is responsible for depression, the other...

I read a book about the early testing of SSRI s on humans. They took the suicides out of the data to get approved and to manipulate the research data and studies to push the drugs on the market. Funny enough I am taking 20 mg of Escitolopram for about a year now and I can say it helps, placebo...

...the following day. Anyways I finally had an appointment with a doctor who believed my physical symptoms were stress-related and didn’t try to prescribe an SSRI (they make me manic). I am now taking GABA and felt SO calm today. Not sure how I feel about it long term though. Any advice/...

...for prolonged treatment) or very low-dose DXM (90mg or under). NDMA receptor modulation for hyperarousal in PTSD is far more effective than SSRI. We are beginning to understand that SSRIs in general and the serotonin theory of depression do not always provide beneficial treatment & are not...

🤯 SSRI’s never worked for me either. I was prescribed various ones when they thought my main diagnoses were OCD and depression. And the compulsions got worse with CBT, maybe for the same reason because at the time the csa was still hidden from my conscious mind. I thought my brain was...

...being since birth, and perhaps prior (in the womb with a war zone environment). I have been misdiagnosed with depression, and provided with SSRI medication, which almost destroyed this being. I became aware of cPTSD during 2018, with zero guidance or help from the medical community. There...

...dose and I would say less than therapeutic for most people. I think 100-200mg is the more usual dose. I far prefer Escitalopram. Both these SSRI are used to treat depression, ptsd, OCD and anxiety. The anxiety effect is the slowest to hit and it isn’t uncommon to be prescribed a short...

...effects. We tried one med that halfway worked until one of my health plans terminated and my cost share became over 200 a month. Next was the SSRI and I was very open that historically I had very bad reactions to them. Two months and I am a zombie and my cognition is so impacted I cant...

...I am exhausted a lot. I have that making me worse with my PTSD and panic now from being isolated and so frustrated! I have tried everything from SSRI’s ,(I am super sensitive to SSRI’s and cannot take them which a lot of medication that is SSRI would be perfect to treat for what is going on...

Woah, thanks so much for this info. I definitely do feel like even with a doc, a social worker and a therapist on my side, I’m still stumbling through all of this trying to figure it out on my own, because, as you said, you get zero warning upfront about the risks associated with these meds. I'm...

...could go... 😳. but that's another story. The piñata. There was still some depression. Its not a miracle cure. Its not like getting the perfect SSRI or tranquilizer dialed in. But my cognitions got shaken up. The needle jumped out of the groove. Little bite sized pieces of me... are all over...

...thinking... I don't want to live this way It isn't worth it. It was so strong I gave my hand gun to someone to keep for the time being because I had taken it out and put it to my head. I seem to go between anger, depression or numbness. My therapist just had me start an SSRI so I hope it will...

...me from ditching them (a bad habit of stopping psych meds that didn't seem to help or had bad side effects. Ive literally been on every single SSRI and SSNI and none of them did anything for me or had bad side effects. I have to work. Can't be a zombie and that's why I advise very clearly...

All I can add is my own experience. A long parade of psychiatrists kept prescribing antidepressants for me. Over time I was on every SSRI and SNRI ever made. They would typically work well for between two and nine months, and then I would return to my funk. The reason they never worked long-term...

...me. Most drugs make me more hyper than I am...just fed \up. 20 years of this. Old tricyclics work...but no the new kids onthe block want to use SSRI's So...weaning off and what will be will be as I'd rather be in a dull mood then wanting to fling a chair out the window...(what year is this...

...to my treatment team that I'd like to be on a lot less. It's taken a conga line of trial and error to find stuff that helps. None of the SSRI's helped my depression, probably because it's in the context of cptsd, rather than straight mood disorder. Sertraline was one I tried, it's very...

...about taking care of myself right now. I'm mostly scared about being misdiagnosed because of medications. Every time I've been put on an SSRI I've wound up attempting suicide, nearly attempting suicidal, or hospitalized due to a psychotic break. Psych meds really scare me. I'm willing...

...as I go about my day. Nausea and spewing every day of the week is life diminishing you poor thing. I take Pristiq which is an SNRI not and SSRI which I have found useless to help PTSD.I have not had a panic attack for at least ten years or since I started it. I am not good at time frames. It...
