Anyone here on Prozac or other antidepressants?

[Redt2go]

Been on Prozac for a few weeks... It's nice to have energy and be awake and not be inexplicably sad... now I'm just regular sad about life :) ... I just upped from 10 to 20 mgs... It's nice... I feel stoned a lot... I've started an art project that I'm excited to finish before I ctb... Something I'm pretty glad I'm creating... Only downside is I can't sleep when I want to... It's 2am I'm wide awake but also exhausted... I miss dreaming...

Weed is my antidepressant.

Weed was my life and then I had psychosis so for everyone smoking weed out there I hope you don't get fucked in your ass. I don't want to live without weed so I'll probably continue smoking it if I don't kill myself. This post has zero purpose. Someone should probably delete it.

I do think the antidepressants had something to do with it though. So who TF knows. Point still stands. Psychosis is a real risk regardless. It's a tragedy that something so beautiful could cause something terminally life-altering. Psychosis is equivalent to demon possession and if you haven't experienced it, it is literal hell.
pharmaceuticals can be life-threatening. Not worth the risk. I've never been suicidal until I've been on pills.
I'm rambling tho

Am I the only one who every single psychotropic medication has done absolutely nothing for me? I've been on typical and atypical antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and literally every single mood stabilizer. Even side effects wise, there was only two instances (although they were pretty bad) despite so many drugs.

I take venlafaxine, olanzapine, invega and many others. They don't help in anything.

Been on Prozac since early 90's, tried to get off them many times but ultimately can't, I just go back downhill into suicidal depression and anxiety, going to have to take them rest of life oh well

Sertraline 100mg. I've been on prozac-fluoxetine before. And many others ... I can't remember.

I have been on many SSRIs over the years but have been off all medications for over a year. I disliked the emotional blunting and how it created a buffer to the creative zones of your personality and emotionality. Now that I have that sensitivity back, I am non-functional with depression and anxiety again. So, I suppose you can say that they helped, but they were far from ideal.

I'm on venlafaxine and Lamotrigine. I tried to overdose on that venlafaxine didn't work. I wondering if I can overdose on Lamotrigine. I hear mixed things about it

What ive taken, and their sides to me

Abilify - No sides. Bit of brain fog at worst
Prozac - put on 20lbs in a month
Lexapro - slept every second I wasnt at school.
Zoloft - turned me into a robot, and put me into autopilot mode(id lose hours or days without knowing what happened)
Celexa -puked violently for 3 days till I stopped it
Wellbutrin - starter dose was okay, next one up made me paranoid
Buspar?- made me more suicidal than before.

I've been on Prozac + Effexor for a while now & I'm still not "happy" but it does take the edge off of my depression/anxiety. I feel blank most days, which is better than crying at the grocery store.

150 mg of sertraline (Zoloft) daily - Has alleviated my depression somewhat, but not completely, and sometimes causes suicidal ideation, especially when the doctor messes with the dosage level. Main negative side effect is I'm always tired and tend to oversleep a lot because of it.

150 mg of bupropion (Wellbutrin) - I only ever tried one tablet of it, and I had a real bad reaction to it. Heart disease runs strong on both sides of my family, and I was getting some pretty bad heart palpatations several days after taking just that one tablet. It's that experience that makes me real reluctant to try any other antidepressant.

 

[Amber1974]

I'm on 80 mg a day of prozac which is max dose, tried Wellbutrin once and it made me break out in a rash every time i went out in sun, weird

 

[Funkbunny]

Had sertraline, mirtazapine and citalopram. Took myself off sertraline 6 months ago. No difference off them. Personally I'd love tamazapam. The good stuff that just stops the internal chatter but there's about as much chance of me getting prescribed that as Oscar pistorius getting athletes foot.

I was pit on meds myself cant remember what but i had a bad yome on them . I ended up in hospital as i was so bad i very happy one moment then the next i was balling my eyes out . All i started to lash out out at people i did hit the doctor nock out tooth he was not to happy mind you je was an asshole any way . He was the one who put me on the pills in the first place . This all happen about ten years ago they never ever try that again from that day to this one . So what could help me i cant take mind you i am sort of happy about that stops them trying to fix me when nothing wrong. Just wish I had the balls to end it all :( dam survival instinct wish it would just fuck off one day i will beat it . Then it be the long sleep YAY HIP HIP WHO RAY :D

I took fluoxetine 2 years ago, I take 40mg, it helped me, and it still helps me a bit, I only hope one day I will not depend on it anymore.
