Antidepressants and Me

It really hit the fan when I was around 20. I couldn't handle my friends making fun of me anymore, and I was getting concerned about my anger level. So I went to my doctor to get a psych consult or something, he said take these for two weeks, just for shits and giggles.


Yep. It worked. I did not believe, but I trust science, so I did.


Celexa: Worked well, as long as I never wanted to use my dick.


Lexapro: Little more penis power, not enough for my personal happiness.


Effexor: I can't remember how well this worked. I think it was a little less effective than Lexapro, but with no sexual side effects.


Cymbalta: 2 or 3 days into regimine, I found myself calling my doctor because my fucking brain was on fire. That's a negative, Ghost Rider!


I think wellbutrin was in there too, but can't remember


Greenstone manufactured generic Zoloft: Closest I came to normal until Ketamine.


Other generic Zoloft: Fillers matter!! I went off the rails when greenstone stopped manufacturing it, and I had to switch.


Zoloft: By the time I eventually got name brand zoloft (at near retail prices because Optum is a soul crushing, greed-focused, employer) I was starting on Ketamine, but was still quite off the rails.
