Really disappointed to see the general anti-ssri stuff some lefties are posting on twitter. Just because they are probably over-prescribed (and to be fair I did literally get my prescription after a 10 minute phone call) it has done an ungodly amount of good in my life.
I went from a perma-depressed 27 year old virgin loser who had not gone outside for multiple years at points starting from 2013 (triggered by an extremely good time I had at a party with friends, which is something a lot of "depression-skeptical" people dont seem to realize, doing stuff thats good for you and enjoyable can literally make you feel worse after) and who was too depressed and unmotivated to use my usual outlets like video games or movies to less than 4 months later having a job, a car, a boyfriend, just fucked in the back of my car, etc.
My brain was literally fucked and the fact that I have made as many strides as I have in such a short time is nothing sort of fucking insane. Escitalopram is a literal gift from allah.
FUCK I'm feeling good rn. (someone sell me a lenin shifter knob please)
change my view on SSRIs please, I'm generally anti-ssri because of what you said, that they are overprescribed. just because it did good for you doesn't mean that everyone will have the same effect, some girls I know in college are on them and they're constantly drinking, abusing other hard drugs, etc, and these ssris dont help their anxiety (or depression but I dont know them that well to say that).
I don't mean this in any harm, I guess I'm just not that educated on ssris besides their negative side effects and how rampant they are
It is a difficult class of mesications. I think we still dont have a great idea about what medications will work which person. So the trial and error part really ends up hurting peoples feelings. Likez my doctor had me do a course of them for ADHD just in case
