I'm not sure here, because I'm hopelessly hooked on SERT inhibitors, I get restless dysphoria from hell when I try to stop so I switched to fluoxetine with it's week-long half life but nope, even with this one I get a feeling of like falling asleep/not being really here & now ... these antidepressants also wrecked my serotonin receptors pretty well, recently I blew through one gram of 5-MeO-MiPT without any real effects, and shrooms were inactive years ago. I fear that this shit is permanent. Morphine was a walk in the park to stop in comparison, not fully because SSRI + morphine, two androgen suppressing drugs together, fucked my body and I'm now 10kg heavier, all tightly packed around the belly, nice. I'm considering testosterone replacement therapy before singlebrating my 35th birthday. At least we have thanks DMSO no more need for needles, this makes it a whole lot easier.
No, I feel like SSRIs are just emotion blunting agents which come with a heavy price tag that increases with time. Like a mortgage. They should only be used short-term (like done in the studies for approval. Nobody cares to study years on a single agent.)
