Well I had some side-effects. But the funniest part is that it's actually possible that low serotonin is good, and those SSRIs that have terapeutic effect actually suppress some specific serotonin receptors and that in turn causes cortisol levels to drop over few weeks. But tl;dr is that meds are shit. I decided that if I get good, being meds-free (and alcohol/nicotine-free too) would be part of it.I've had the same experience. I've been on just about every SSRI known to man and absolutely none of them did anything for me. I went off of every one of them on my own, just quit taking them when the prescription ran out so I wouldn't have to spend anymore money on them because they're very expensive. In my case, very expensive sugar pills. I'm glad that they help other people, but they didn't do a thing for me.
And I also drank alcohol while I was on them and absolutely nothing happened.
