does anyone else think that the negative stigma towards anxiety meds is also partly the fault of our egos? like our ego gets hurt because we think we need to become dependent on something like a pill to be as "happy" or "healthy" or "normal" as we perceive everyone else to be?
wouldnt say it makes you weak but I believe it takes away from your humanity/personality
You need to switch meds if the ones youre on do that. They shouldn't be doing that. Talk to your doctor about it and you'll be switched right away.
Lexapro has s*** side effects and Kanye wasn't joking, stop taking it a few days and your mind will flip s***
Better options out but Zoloft is baby meds. Works for my gf but she has super light anxiety. Didn't do s*** to me.
Effexor is the next level and might help. It's a stimulant so you may stop eating as much (I was like 130 5'11 when I was on it)
If you have manic tendencies don't take any of this s*** but it seems like you don't
Never heard of Effexor I’ll look into it and yea the Zolofts okay but not strong enough
how do y’all get the courage to talk to a doctor bout getting prescribed tho?
i just can’t bluntly tell my doctor bout my anxiety, i feel ashamed
No you're stronger for working towards a better life for yourself
Zoloft kinda sucks ass so if it doesn't work ask for a new one. Don't stop and wait until everything gets worse like my dumbass.
I can't take anti depressants anymore they make me manic but latuda was by far the most effective I've used.
Never use Prozac. You can Google the conspiracies about how ass it is. I have a book about it even
that first sentence is facts on allah
I hate how people have to question this while worrying about being looked at as "weak". You're not weak, and whoever tells you that is a piece of s***, seriously. If you feel you need it, take care of yourself.

I was the same way but just do it and trust me, it will be for the best. I honestly have been feeling amazing ever since i got on the meds, as if all the f***ed up voices in my head are gone and im back functioning, taking interest in things i used to love to do. Plus im also way more confident in social situations and just generally. Its not over confidence though. Plus he'll probably guide you through therapy as well
Just do it and i pray it works out for you the same brother!
