Do SSRI makes you more productive

I don`t use it since HS, and here`s the thing, I dind`t think the same way I do now back them, so not only I can`t remember, I don`t think it`s a good metrics. Studies say they do in general makes you perform better, but what`s your personal experience?

My personal experience is that SSRIs turned me into a total zombie. Only thing that makes me more productive are stimulants and nootropics (specifically modafinil & Vyvanse). But that being said I am diagnosed with ADHD and stims effect me differently than most people

use ketamine once, can cause breakthroughs. ssris are a band aid.

This nigga using backticks as apostrophes

Yeh, Vyvanse is the best, but the crashes are too hard for me to endure, there days that I would be the whole weekend awake, laying in bed staring to the ceiling. Like I was paralyzed, there were no thoughts in my head or will to do anything, a very weird fucking head space, very scary stuff.

Care to commend/expand?

Like picrel, they completely suppress any emotions, they are used so that you are vaguely calm and submissive so you can work 24/7 without caring, thats the real goal, that's why it is prescribed so oftenly. And the withdrawal symptoms are like your brain coming back to reality trhough getting tazed a few times a day, you litterally get brain zaps when you withdraw them, NEVER AGAIN

Is that better than feeling suicidal though? Because that sounds pretty shit but I'd imagine neutral is better than always feeling bad.

nigger just take psychedelics or RCs such as NSI-189
SSRIs are pure kikery

Yes. But they adjust other stuff too.

Idk but if I was suicidal, and I know that they know that I know, might as well try to get Xanax instead, at least it makes you really happy in a depressive mood, but honnestly, I was self aware of the SSRI and it didn't help much and hated them.

>Is that better than feeling suicidal though?
how about you reorganize the reality around you instead of giving yourself chemical brain damage

I am bipolar and have intense periods mania then periods of depression. With SSRIs I would just be functioning at this low level of basically anhedonia, not feeling much at all. I had a long period in my twenties of being addicted to methamphetamine then went clean cold turkey. Only thing that has worked for me since is Wellbutrin (to restore my horribly damaged dopamine levels) then modafinil and vyvanse. Excercise, diet and meditation also are a huge impact

Also, a lot of school shooters where on SSRI, it didn't help their violent tendencies, they just didn't care as much to kill people so yeah.. complete kikery

This is how I am on a normal day w/o stimulants. Does that mean I need stimulants? I'm not currently "on" them but I have taken them.

>take Xanax
>go full metal retard and have zero fucks to give
>gotta steal shit too for some reason
>stop taking Xanax
>first few days of withdrawals are absolute hell
>next two weeks feel completely /x/-tier and surreal

I took escitalopram for two years. Didn't notice any productivity increase. On the one hand it decreases dopamine, so you don't need to distract yourself for porn and some time killers. On the other hand, it kills motivation and makes you apathetic. For trading, it seems that you become less nervous when there is sharp moves on the market.

No duck it makes you unmotivated. It lowers dopamine. Maybe try not using porn and stims that fry your receptors. However I’m going to go jerk it right now actually

I tried them for a few months and they did absolutely nothing. There was just no change at all. I was also using kratom at the time and it was really increasing the depression, which I didn't realize, so maybe it's why the SSRIs didn't work, I don't know.
>a lot of school shooters where on SSRI
Last time I saw someone post that, I thought yeah, but you could also then say that had all been diagnosed with mental illness as well. But I guess that's a good point, whether the meds had any negative influence it didn't stop them from wanting to harm others.
Apparently Xanax, I guess maybe benzos in general, are some of the only drugs you can actually die from the withdraws. So, yeah, I would be afraid of prolonged heavy use.

You will still be suicidal, you just won't feel it. Complete and utter indifference to whether you live or die, and without emotion, you have completely warped logic to justify it. SSRIs remove a lot of the inhibition you might have had against doing it, even.

this means you need a more social environment, more time in nature, exercise (lifting), and a cleaner diet.

ADHD isnt real just an excuse for doctors to become dope dealers and parents get to virtue signal that they have a disabled child
