Thank you - same here. I hate how “trendy” it’s become to hate on SSRIs. Are they a silver bullet? no. Are they overprescribed? Maybe. But they’re one of the few useful treatments for debilitating depression and anxiety that we currently have.

> SSRIs kept me from killing myself.

Conversely, we've heard this sentiment from people using their first cannabis, psychedelic,

or even just their latest drink.

SSRIs (sertraline) gave me my life back. I don't have any appreciable side-effects and can live my life without crippling anxiety and depression. I started out with Wellbutrin, an SSRI alternative, and it caused short term memory loss and brain fog. I'm only functioning today due to SSRIs.

Whoa I did not say that, and same here. Please read what I wrote more carefully.
