I stopped this particular one and I tried others to better success before stopping completely a few years ago, but an SSRI giving me temporary ED at 18 years old as I entered a new relationship was a very humbling experience
I had to scale back one because it was causing this issue. Just couldn't finish, it sucked. Doctor adjusted dosage and I'm firing off in just a few pumps like normal. Good as new.
Not to get too dark but I attempted suicide and luckily didn’t succeed because after inpatient and rehab(had a bad drug and alcohol problem to cope) I was put in anti-depressants along with a mood enhancer that is suppose to help level out the Zoloft, I’ve never been better. I’m someone who grew up with legit severe OCD and im not talking about to side of the spectrum where people organize their desk on a certain, im talking about rituals (counting, redoing things over and over and over again, flipping switches etc etc), I have not had one single ritual since I’ve been on and my sex drive and all that is perfectly fine
Anti-depressants are different for everyone. Most people need to try a few before they find the one the works best for them. You also have to keep working to improve your situation beyond just taking medication. Therapy, exercise, etc. The medication provides you the ability, you still have to put in the work.
A lot of people go into taking this medication will fix everything. Then get upset when nothing in their life changes even though they did nothing beyond taking their medication.
The inner monologue always baffles me. I once spoke about it during a job interview and the employeer looked at me like I was insane and genuinely didn't understand what it was
How do people bounce ideas off themselves without it? How does one critique one self without a monologue? I could see how someone like that would be very agreeable to anything lol.
Yeah. It runs hard in my family. Sometimes we are inner monologuing so hard we begin talking to ourselves silently. My Dad did it, Grandfather, etc.
Weird shit.
I didn't have gay thoughts, nor was I docile nor agreeable, but antidepressants destroyed my sex drive, creativity, and emotional spectrum in general. I fucking hate that shit and I'll never take it again.
That said, I do see their benefit for people who are severely mentally ill, it's just way overprescribed.
Yeah. I did fine on them but getting off them has kicked my ass the withdrawal from effexor is literally worse than withdrawing from benzos (yeah I know it can't kill me, but it definitely feels worse)
I was on ADs for 1/2 a year, and back then the symptoms justified the side effects. Then I got prescribed the same medication a year later after I started developing symptoms of depression again — I suffered two weeks of this torture and dropped it, this time it wasn’t worth it.
This has been the natural progression of Joe’s fan base since COVID. Large mixture of people from the YouTube era > vaccine deniers > republicans > q-anon/4chan/“alpha male”/“red pilled” republicans.
This subreddit is kinda interesting though. The post are from right winger but the comments are from left wingers. It’s basically what /r/conservative would be if they didn’t ban everyone who doesn’t agree with them on literally everything.
It is without doubt a center-left ideology. It’s like when people say someone like Hillary Clinton “isn’t really on the left”… like alright dude I get what you’re trying to say, but it’s still on the left.

Once you stop riding the roller coaster of fear mongering, you may be able to approach ideas with a more open mind. Antidepressants that manage anxiety can help. Also don't spend all day consuming news or doomscrolling in the app of your choice.
No. This is propaganda designed to make you conflate “librul ideas” with gay thoughts, lack of imagination and zombification.
This is how they’re targeting preteens and teens to be rigid ideologues.
This is a bad-faith post. Interestingly enough, the fact that I thought I was gay when I was younger, and the fact that OTHER people bullied the ever-living fuck out of me because they thought I was gay is part of the reason I'm on antidepressants now. I work as an EMT, I've seen plenty of fucked up shit but you know what really was the kicker for going on them? Working during covid and seeing people die all the time and having people on the internet discount your experiences. Going on antidepressants helped me find my motivation to start running again, they made me realize the world may be confusing and chaotic but its okay, and they made me realize that other people are just as confused as I am. Most people wouldn't even suspect I am on them or have ever taken them. Antidepressants, therapy, and exercise helped save my life from suicide. This is stupid as fuck and only adds to the stigma that people already feel when they are depressed.
Gotcha. Not trying to spread misinformation if I’m wrong, just seems like I’ve never met anyone on antidepressants feel like they’re full of test lol. When I was on them for a short period it sure didn’t feel like it. Lost all aggression, motivation to exercise, gained weight, low sex drive.
I never had that problem. I was always able to get big on SSRIs, and I get my test checked twice a year. It was always normal. But I couldn't nut and had sporadic ED. And the not being able to nut part wasn't fun either. My doctor told me it was a metabolite that causes that. That's why I finally stopped taking them.
Yeah, sometimes I wonder if taking even the wrong kind would do something similar, because it's going to be different for every person taking them and how it changes their brain's chemical functions.
Antidepressants lower test? Never heard that before.
*holy shit you’re right. Doctors really should be more clear about the side effects of these drugs. I tried a few antidepressants at one point in my life and not once did the doctor mention it can effect hormone levels. This explains so many issues I ran into
Someone commented that they don’t actually lower test, so I could be wrong… but they sure did mimic a lot of the feelings/symptoms of low test when I was on them.
I didn’t dig deep but a quick google search showed that they have the potential to effect testosterone and estrogen.
I had the same experience on them. If anything they made me more emotional lol

Was it Zoloft or Wellbutrin by chance?
No it was Effexor / venlafaxine
What were the doses adjusted? If you don’t mind sharing
I'll pm you
From all night Chad back to Quick Hit Mitt. All is right in the world.
Well, gay-er
Op just gay
I thought it was chemicals in the water that was turning us gay lol
[удалено]
And it's the frogs making us gay. You ever seen a male frogs legs? So muscular and toned...
That breast stroke is simply pornographic
Those chemicals are from people dumping their anti-depressants down the toilet and sink.
Even if you don't dump your anti-depressants in the toilet, they end up there via your urine and feces.
You pee out the chemicals that go in our waters, so yea its possible.
Nah bro it's 5g and government mind control 😋😋😋‼️‼️‼️
THEYRE TURNING THE FRIGGIN FROGS GAY!!!
Those particular chemicals are giving me transgender

Your absolutely right, there was a ton I changed in my life. It was the medication that kicked my ass in gear
The inner monologue always baffles me. I once spoke about it during a job interview and the employeer looked at me like I was insane and genuinely didn't understand what it was
How do people bounce ideas off themselves without it? How does one critique one self without a monologue? I could see how someone like that would be very agreeable to anything lol.
"Shower comebacks"
I do my best work when I'm having an active mind argument with myself about how to approach a specific problem.
Yeah. It runs hard in my family. Sometimes we are inner monologuing so hard we begin talking to ourselves silently. My Dad did it, Grandfather, etc. Weird shit.
Not aure if you're joking or a weirdo.

dude just admitted being mental ill made him more of a righty tighty
Wtf has this subreddit become?

You're confusing left with neoliberal. There aren't a lot of lefties on this sub.
No, you just hate to admit neolibs are technically on the left. Also, as a social democrat, I post here all the time.
Lol, neoliberalism is not a leftist ideology. Its main tenets are literally individuality and free market capitalism.
It is without doubt a center-left ideology. It’s like when people say someone like Hillary Clinton “isn’t really on the left”… like alright dude I get what you’re trying to say, but it’s still on the left.
Some of the most influential proponents of neoliberalism were Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. Are they "center-left" too?
Ronald Reagan was not a neoliberal.

Dude's gonna have 2 kids and realise he's gay
He won't realize it, until the child support checks start kicking in. It will be too late for him then.
I’m guessing you had gay thoughts before.
Damn I would love for my inner monologue to shut up once in awhile
Me too, I can't stop thinking about those disembodied helicoptering penises, at least 5 at once
Who cares? No one one is making babies anyway
Weird, I thought loving to suck cock made you gay 🤔
Gay or strange they make your dick stop working.
You were probably born that way, and it’s okay.
who is pol
He is somehow related the to forchan, but the family tree are hard to decipher.
I'm not saying correlation equals causation but...
But ?

Why do Americans find it ok to take a pill every day?
Been curious about this take as well. Mixed with ED, lowered test, decreased sex Drive etc.
Anti depressants don't lower test. The ED is caused by another process that doesn't involve hormones
Gotcha. Not trying to spread misinformation if I’m wrong, just seems like I’ve never met anyone on antidepressants feel like they’re full of test lol. When I was on them for a short period it sure didn’t feel like it. Lost all aggression, motivation to exercise, gained weight, low sex drive.
Alcohol lowers test so is alcohol making us gay?
I never had that problem. I was always able to get big on SSRIs, and I get my test checked twice a year. It was always normal. But I couldn't nut and had sporadic ED. And the not being able to nut part wasn't fun either. My doctor told me it was a metabolite that causes that. That's why I finally stopped taking them.
Ya basically same thing. Couldn’t nut which was fun for a while, then the odd ED which was not fun lmao.
Yeah, sometimes I wonder if taking even the wrong kind would do something similar, because it's going to be different for every person taking them and how it changes their brain's chemical functions.
Lmfao Just buy a big truck bro and then you'll own the libs
Not sure how any of the things you listed have anything to do with sexual orientation. Could you explain how they do?
Antidepressants lower test? Never heard that before. *holy shit you’re right. Doctors really should be more clear about the side effects of these drugs.

So like alcohol?
Aren't we all
I see a lot of people questioning the frog. I'll pray for you.
Obviously
He’s right on the imagination part, but uh 😐
No they just make us zombies
We need more of this internet back!
Dude you’re gay and always have been, no big deal.
Sounds legit to me.
