I keep trying to be seen for therapy, or to get a diagnosis. All they ever do is prescribe me another brain pill that does nothing but gives me hemroids.
Mental health in the US is completely fucked, efforts aren’t made, unless it’s for a pill they can sell you.
Huh. Ever seen side effects of depression?
Death
Lol
There’s a testing called genesight that I did through my doctor (so seemingly not sending my DNA to a private company like 23&me) that helped me identify which SSRI would metabolize with the fewest side effects with my specific body chemistry. For those lucky enough to have health insurance, I think insurance will pay for it after 2 attempted SSRIs with bad side effects.
I wish for rest & gentleness for us all. 🪻🪻
Lose weight? Didn’t know that was supposed to be a thing, I was able to lose 10kg in some months. However, the sexual side effects are real
Started working out, which helped immensely.
Turns out that sitting inside and looking at doomers is bad for your well-being.
on the shitpost meter, you score 55%
Damn so many people in the comments on this stuff
I’d rather have weird side effects and be fat than be dead.
The great depresh was such an eye opening comedy special for me.
I keep saying there’s exactly two medication side effect profiles.
The sudden death stuff sounds pretty wild. I wonder under what explanation regulators just accept 1 in 10000 patients will just randomly die from the drug.
You can’t lose weight, but that’s okay because the lack of appetite balances that out! (A common side effect my antidepressants have)
Lucky
Just wait until it turns into pills and you’re still fucked and now worse off. Your brain chemistry might change permanently.
Hard pass.
*that can also make your symptoms far worse!
With venlafaxine (SNRI), you don’t have the weight gain, but it fucks up your heart. Love the positive effects, though, still have to switch and I don’t like that at all. There is no similar SNRI. It is suggested to try sertraline + modafinil.
Lol!
