Hey guys,
So this is a weird one. I have a health issue which causes me anxiety. Without the health issue, there's no anxiety but doctors are clueless after 4 years so fuck it, let's pop the meds eh?
So, after turning down happy pills (SSRIs) for years, I've got to the point now where I think I really need to be taking something to help me with my anxiety.
So...
SSRIs = No go. Don't want a knock on my libido so that rules out the below - I also rule out Mirtazapine due to the weight gain.
citalopram
escitalopram
fluoxetine
fluvoxamine
paroxetine
sertraline
Benzos are a no go as they are temporary as you build a tolerance and can get very addictive so no thanks.
The only one that seemed to be a possibility was Wellbutrin (bupropion) but that's used more for depression than Anxiety :/
Also took beta-blockers but they just make it really hard to get you know...hard.
Now this doesn't leave me with much options eh - Any suggestions? Not sure how often people make posts in here when its not from a recreational perspective.
Yes, I take recreational drugs too sometimes (MDMA / Coke / Alcohol) but shouldn't really make a difference with my above questions.
Cheers guys !
