I hate being on the bloody things. Wish I'd never started them. CBT is much more effective in the long term, for me. YMMV. I find SSRIs kill my motivation and creativity.

That’s forbidden knowledge. For some reason they tend to just write you a recipe and see ya in a year, good luck with collateral damage to your life.

SSRIs get advertised as making you indifferent to bad things, well, you become indifferent to all things. Like a vegetable. It’s an amplitude modulator, not a negative cut off. I wonder how much that correlates with “psychotypes” and general development, because it almost feels like you become an average normal person, and not in a good sense. Blind, dumbed (not dumb but unmotivated), indifferent, uninterested. Just living through a life with a sort of a brainfog. Maybe SSRIs show success in large enough groups for which this is a natural state??

Also you can’t come. Ever watched The Fist of Rage?

Oh and if you hate bloody things, you’ll hate to cancel these much more :). Brain zaps are not the worst, it feels like all your psyche gets barely hinged together for quite a while. Like a wood house with every joint shaken a little for slack.

I'd really suggest anyone think twice before assuming these pills, that GPs dish out like candy, are an easy and consequence free solution!

Full agree.
