So what is your problem with SSRIs? They help. Is it the medication itself that is the issue or do you not believe that depression can have a neurological basis that can't be treated with just therapy or change of lifestyle alone?

They are ok if you are at rock bottom
If you are mildly depressed its not needed. Just change your environment

I took Xanax XR (2-3mg a day) for years and the withdraw felt like death
Try valium instead or quit that shit

Yes, they help, but not the way they advertised. They doesn't cure, doesn't help you change your life, it is mostly some sort of painkiller for soul. You just stop caring. Well, in other words, it's pepepill IRL.
Like all drugs your body will adapt and you will build a tolerance. You will need increasing amounts of medication until risk outweighs reward. You are in a deeper hole than you ever were before in terms of neuro chemistry. Medication is meant to be used in combination with therapy and discontinued before you can build too high a tolerance. The idea that depression has a biological basis and that this is somehow seperate from your thoughts is retarded. You change the chemicals in your brain by thinking that's what thought is. Don't get sucked in to this idea of the biological basis it's just another maladaptive cognition that disempowered you to go with the others you already clearly have.

My problem is that while the one I was prescribed “works”, I can’t orgasm at all. Which is a problem if I want to have kids.
SSRIs can be straight up contraception at this rate

>So what is your problem with SSRIs? >no more self harm Nigger, the drug companies even admit in their own fucking ads that this shit can cause MORE suicide ideation.
Man up and lift heavier weights until the serotonin lifts you out of depression.
The pills literally make you impotent.

For me, it was going off them that was scary. I’ve already thought of sewer cide before. Quitting an SSRI cold turkey got me to the point of nearly going to get the metal bullet hose and tasting the metal
I’ve had a stronger respect for how dangerous these pills are ever since

This explains why fucking seattleites are so dead inside. They literally can't cum. There's no pleasure to life anymore, only predictability and homogeneity and they're ok with it, going through the motions...
