      Hello Scott
      May I please ask you how long have you been on it and what dosage?
      Does it affect you sexually?
      Did it cause a more depressed state at the beginning of treatment?
      I thank you immensely for whatever experience you can share.
      I'm on my 6th day and I'm so confused if I should continue or not
      Thank you

      @@AlbertVPop I’m on 20mgs. the only negative side effect I have almost 4 weeks into it is some slightly weird vision issues (my eyes are already pretty bad though). No sexual side effects thus far. The first week, I had some stomach issues, but they ironed out. It takes about 4-6 week to really notice it helping depression, apparently. I noticed my anxiety went away immediately, as did my OCD, ADD, binge-eating tendencies. I also don’t feel like I’m in constant “fight or flight”, so I feel like my body is not pumped with cortisol all the time, so I feel less bloated too. I don’t feel depressed either. Hope this information helps. Best of luck to you on your journey towards healing and feeling better.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story, so many people do not have the courage as they believe a horrible stigma behind mental health often times for trauma or situation and places that led us to feel that certain way. This is the first video that I’ve seen of yours, and I look forward to seeing the videos prior. I suffer from C Dash PTSD and mild depression I went to two different places via referral as the first one just seemed disregarding the one gave me 10 mg and one 20mg to start… i’m in possession of both and I do believe tomorrow will be the start date as I’ve been holding on for about a week as I continue to investigate what I will be consuming for hopefully the better good. I wish you all the best in your path to feeling the best version of yourself and again thank you so much for sharing your testimony.❤

    Lexapro is the best SSRI I switched back from Prozac 20mg luckily it has a long half life so I won’t experience strong withdrawal symptoms. Prozac 20 mg took my appetite away and couldn’t sleep too energizing for me which made me more anxious.

    I have taken many anti depressants over the years, but always quit once they made me gain weight. However, a year ago, I was recommended fluoxetine, and it was the best. I took it for 6 +/- months and it helped me a lot. I had orgasm issues, but after I stopped taking it, thank god it returned to normal. 😅 But I believe you have to decide for yourself what is more important, and since it helped me overcome depression, I decided to take it until the end.

    Just started 10mg to avoid side effects for anxiety. It was $14 in the US. Having some dizziness and mild drowsiness or brain fog as I’m adjusting. Hopefully that goes away along with my panic attacks. Seems to be helping just a little already, but it’s too early to know for sure.

      Yep. Have you seen the antidepressant tapering injuries? Full-on neurological injury. Chronic/tardive akathisia, horrific nerve pain, terrible stuff. Find Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring Psychiatry or Nicole Lamberson PA. I had no idea this harm existed until I was so bad that it could be nothing else. Iatrogenic injury is not even in a doctor differential. Dr. Stuart Shipko is another major deprescriber working in that space. He’s nearly retired though. Read some of his posts in Mad In America about what he’s seen. Nicole hosts discussions for the film Medicating Normal. Unreal.

    all of these drugs are bad over the long term, and it is not helpful to downplay the suicidal ideation of being on those drugs with the suicidal ideation that comes along with depression. What is worse is that Prozac also causes aggresion and violent behaviors that mant studies have cosnistently demonstrated.
