been on it for 11 years.....have tried to come off it before but it's not possible for me and i've accepted that that is ok! SSRIs can be life saving drugs so definitly worth considering. they mostly kind of....put blinders on your emotions. like blunt the high highs and the low lows. so your spectrum of feeling might feel shortened..... which is hard. but in some cases is crucial for living life. i would not be who i am without the help of ssris

dwell give it time to work! And best advice I have is keep track of your mood and symptoms, in a journal or app. Helps with analyzing the process

i was put on prozac about three years ago. i was having crazy panic and anxiety attacks that would last for weeks. i didn't feel like myself which was the scariest part. i was apprehensive at first but my mom really encouraged me and it actually really helped. i think prozac was right for me and it was the most useful in preventing the worst of the worst. it was really helpful in rewiring a lot of the thought patterns that i couldn't get out of myself. i now don't need to take it. i think i had to take it so then i didn't need it if that makes sense. i know there can be some adverse effects for people but i think you have do do what feels right for you.

ive been on it for ~ 10ish years (probably started way too young) but it gives me the power to be a functional human without diminishing my range of emotion (huge plus because i feel most alive when im laughing and crying i just don't want to be crying all of the time) prozac gave me insomnia and trintellix made me stupid. unfortunately i cannot cum like 96/100 times but i'll take that over how bad my depression was also buspar on top of that helps w anxiety with like no side effects at all
