Am i the only one who got a beautiful life until psych drugs ruined it all ?

[iloveeetreeeess1]

Are you still taking the meds? Maybe you should quit

I haven't been on prozac for a few years, but honestly the damage was done, ever since being put on it I haven't been able to bounce back

My life was also almost destroyed by a wrong diagnosis and taking antidepressants. I'm probably bipolar, they haven't been able to diagnose me yet, but it has well-defined characteristics. They put me on antidepressants and I became a rocket ready to explode and go to another galaxy.

Citalopram has ruined me and given me PSSD. I stopped taking it over 3.5 years ago, and I still have serious sexual dysfunction.

I know many would say I am lucky, because my emotions are intact, but I usually just feel sad, demotivated and worthless most of the time anyhow.

I know that antidepressants work well for some people and save their lives. They have destroyed mine.

Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, lithium, invega, nozinan, zyprexa, benzos, lyrica.

I’m emotionless since 7 months, cognitively impaired, trouble speaking, trouble being coordinated while moving, no joy, no sleep, no sex….

The side effects u tell in post are lot similar to my lithium experience

I used to take a antidepressant, but for me that was like just placebo.
Benzos where almost ok

Lithium was pure devil for me. After I took it I was shaking a lot, trouble in coordination and not much but a less trouble with speaking (this was why I cold stop it), my mood was totally unstable (my psychiatrist told me that's impossible).
Another reason cuz they took me it away is cuz i told that if I have to still take that I would take every pill I have in the same time. (I not suggest to say this btw, it made other things worse)

Actually I have just benzos at need. (i not use them, but they can be useful for me in other ways)
I still have big problems with sleep

Try olanzapine, at the start you might feel a bit sleepy the next day, but after a bit you don't feel anything the next day anymore

For me medication had positive effects.They made my life (which was absolute hell) into something a little more bearable

For me it was Cymbalta, that was the worst decision in my life. My dick shrunked from it and got numb. Erection problems, cold glans. Watery semen. I cannot feel alcohol or coffee or drugs like weed. No fresh feeling after sport. I have no joy in life anymore thats why i am here.

This desease is called PSSD and there are a few people here that ctb because of that a few years ago. Now we have some people again here that want to die because of that.

As a pssd sufferer I can say that depression is a walk in the park compared to pssd. And I can also say it cuz I was hardly depressed and anxious many years ago and I recovered.

I tried lithium and I had a very similar experience

Also for me it all started with a high dose of escitalopram and a mood stabilizer called lamictal. Since then it all snowballed…. I’m no longer myself, no longer in control of my body, no more joy, no more pleasure in anything, cognitive impairement, anhedonia, low libido….
It all started 9 months ago, I don’t know for how long I can go on with a screwed body and brain

For me it’s seven months off the pills and I get worse daily. From a tall Athletic med student to a vegetable that gets care From his dad. What keeps me here are some philosophical theories about reincarnation. I fear what comes after death will be even worse that this hell

I have taken 1 month of it. Took years to recover, i feel if u are at a higher dosage for 3month +, there is no recovery. Life is too brief, the human flesh too weak. Half your soul, dead and gone, resting in wait of the lazy half, by the sad water of separation, for the boat, for the journey ahead.

I feel you, same fears of reincarnation and what to expect after suicide. But I think I ll do it anyway….

Thanks for the encouragement buddy

The best way to fight chronic illness due to trauma or whatever isnt prescrription medicines like diazepam, lexapro, tramadol you name them. Its due to medicinal joints or cake or a combination. Medicinal cannabis is only product that can lift up life quality and will to life. more then alcohol, prescription medicines together.
Prescription cannabis only source that can really battle chronic pain and psychical constant discomfort.
