I believe you're taking about benzos..Hi neal! I do not have any first hand experience but from what I have seen with friends and family of friends - I would not recommend them even if you feel you need them. I would be more inclined to suggest looking into medicinal marijuana than anything else for all around mood enhancement [if that is what it does for you]. But man, all I have heard about SSRIs is do not start them. And once you do you will be on them possibly for the rest of your life. I am not really educated on the psychomechanics of how SSRIs work within the brain but I do know it is very serious and you certainly cannot up and quit CT after a month if you decided you didn't like em.
Thats my 2 cents.
God bless
Hey all,
Do ssri's make you feel 'good' after taking them for a month? More energy? happier?
I dont have any serious problems but I wonder if life would be better on it.
Thanks!
They will do nothing for you if you don't have a problem (e.g., depression, OCD, etc.) that an SSRI would help. In VERY simple terms, SSRIs helps the mechanism of cellular processing of serotonin reach normal or steady levels (read here for a more cogent explanation -- me sux at science!). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_serotonin_reuptake_inhibitor
They feel like they should be fucking banned cuz fuck those pills.
I rather smoke crack than go on SSRIs. Tbh they should be scheduled 1'd as IMO they have no medical purpose and a high rate for abuse among the "clinically depressed"
I'd rather be depressed than be on SSRIs tbh. I have MDD and schizoaffective, but the MDD was diagnosed when i was 16 i was given different SSRIs i tried.
The side effects were bad and they didn't help.
I told my doctor, and his answer was always "Let's increase the dose!"
Hahah let's increase the brain chemistry fuck up!
Man it's sad to see how many people have become victims to Big Pharma's lies. I'll never put ANY of my kids on any of those pills. We all experience these natural emotions so why fuck people up by telling them it's a disorder?
