Too bad I have no executive function!

Mmmmm tasty SSRIs (that don’t work for shid) :3

Sorry to hear yours aren't working. You might need something else

I get that they work and are quite helpful to many people, but I will never take another SSRI in my life again. I hate them things. They make me feel dead. It's like tricking my mind into pretending everything is okay and jolly by becoming stupid and unaware to the reality of the overall situation. If I feel depressed, it's for a reason, and the solution is to address that reason, not pretend it doesn't exist or it's fine. It's like if you are in a situation where your leg is broken and can't heal, would you rather take an opiate to numb the pain or change the situation so your leg can heal? I guess my issue wasn't necessarily a serotonin imbalance 🤷

As someone who recently weaned off of SSRIs after several years on them, I found that thre worked quite well for managing my (at the time I was prescribed) debilitating OCD. That combined with occasional weed edibles (1-4 times a month) seems to have permanently decreased my symptoms, to the point where I no longer need SSRIs. I've generally heard that they work much better when applied to anxiety disorders than for depression, which makes me wonder why they're still prescribed so often for that. My guess is some combination of institutional inertia + minor symtom improvement + profit incentive.

this is why we should make all medicine tasty, i don't forget to take my vitamin gummies and sweetened fluoride(fluorine? the tooth one) tablets.

Fluoride is correct, Fluorine you really don't want to put in your teeth

I already took mine. I have alarms on my phone to take them, it's very important because I have ADHD really bad.

I've actually never tried the name brand- it was just fewer letters lol

Oh shit, I was thinking of a different med, there's one that's a normal antidepressant and named similarly. Also name brands are for chumps 😋
