Thanks for sharing your story dude !!! I’ve been on it for 3 weeks now and today is the first time I’ve started feeling good !!! I had some bad side effects but now I feel like calm waters if that makes sense !!
I started taking it about 8 days ago. I'm just now starting to feel its affect. Feels good... hopefully I'll feel more better after a month or two, as everyone says it usually takes good month or two for it to really take effect.
Do you take it at night or the morning? My daughter just started it and takes at night but she wants to switch to the morning as it’s not supposed to make you drowsy!
@@GrumblyBasket I have been on mine for almost half a year and now I'm on 60mg daily for OCD and anxiety in the form of anger. I started taking it before bed and took a pure asprin before I sleep. I get great rest and now I have much more energy.
I’m thinking about start using it, I’ve been suffering extreme anxiety & weird loop’s of weird combinations of thoughts like a net of complexed knots that makes no sense,yet, gets well connected to a point it becomes & feels realistic enough for me to consider it as a reality. Meanwhile, doubts start knocking on the weakest pillar of my personality that i may or may not observe then i go there then it gets worst then i panic then start mumbling & repeating words that i think it makes me calm but the more i repeat the more i stay in this ruthless hurricane of just constant battles i can’t win . It’s weird & scary but i know it will get better one day. We will get better. PS: You Are Not Alone 🙏🏼
Hi Omar, I’m sorry to hear what your experiencing right now but I’m sure with time it will pass. Take this advice at your own risk. I would invite you to explore other avenues if you haven’t already before taking medication. Have you tried therapy? Also try some other mindfulness practices and other tools I talk about in other videos I wish you all the best for 2023
I like how you understand how hard it is to judge exactly what is causing what. I feel a lot of people have a good or bad experience and put it all on the meds
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is good to see the good parts of internet/social media. My personal experience has some points similiar to the ones described in the video. 2 first years of medication were fine and it did made me stable. After that, it started to get tricky. i felt quite "dumb", my ability to concentrate almost disapered and i needed to sleep A LOT. Right now i off meds, and it is awesome to feel smart and like myself again. However, i know that i am one of those people who might need it again (and thats fine). Take care everyone!
Take your time with the decision and maybe think about other tools you can try before (cold exposure, consistent exercise, dietary changes etc). Good luck!
I’m starting Prozac officially tomorrow and I’m nervous. I’m really hoping this works out but the side effects scare me. Goal is to treat my anxiety and hopefully make it more manageable
Be careful man. Keep in mind the longer you take it the longer it takes to get off of it. It freaked me out, im getting out of the cycle. Not trying to scare you, just looking out. Be careful bro
@@KalebMorrow30what did it do to you? I took it only twice a week when I was anxious. Was hoping it was like an anxiety medication but it's not so it's useless for me. I'm wondering what it's like if u take it every day?
@@laremabella it is an anxiety medication but as far as I know you’re supposed to take it every day for at least a few weeks to have full effect (4-6 weeks). In the first weeks it increases anxiety more because it gets worse before it gets better as the brain needs to get used to it.
@@h2o477j I didn't take it again. Ive been prescribed Propranolol for anxiety . Was hoping they'd give me a benzo cuz I never heard of propranolol, but it's a beta blocker so I still haven't tried it. Every time I think of trying it I get chest pain again. So scared of taking it bc it's a heart medication
Please help me 😢😢 I'm 7 months sober of alcohol and weed since that time I'm not feeling good I'm depressed and I can't sleep well at all I have palpitations and sweats I can feel joy in the things that I love I woke up with a sensation of fear. The psychiatrist prescribe me antidepresants but im scared to take them. Please help me
I’m not a doctor and not telling you what to do but here are some of my suggestions and questions for you. By the way well done on being sober 1. Are you exercising regularly and on a way that challenges you? 2. Are you practicing any sort of meditation? If not do so 3. Do some cold exposure 4. What are you eating? 5. Write down some affirmations that you say to yourself at least 5 times a day. For example one can be: I’m in control of my mind and I stay positive. I accept sometimes I will feel negative but I stay mentally strong and grind through it
You sound like me. I have started anti depressants. Fluoxetine, day 10 today. Was very tired for a couple of days. Now feel like they are starting to work bit by bit.
How do I get myself to the GP? I think I suffer from quite severe depression and social anxiety and I really struggle with even making a phone call as it panics me. I need to do something though as I've been having some very horrible thoughts the past month.
I'm sorry to hear that it's been a challenging time for you. I hope you've made some progress. In regards on how to get yourself to the GP seek some support from someone you trust to help you get there All the best Stay strong
Thanks bro for sharing your testimony. I’m considering starting to take this as was recommended by a psychiatrist but I think your onto something in saying that- ‘a pills not gonna solve all your problems’ might have get the gym routine going more consistent and see if that can help me too!
I would do that first before pills personally. If you get other things in order and still feel 💩 then maybe look at the medication routes. That’s just my opinion
please reply brother so.... me and my girlfriend i started taking fluoxatine because i was having a hard time depression over intrusive ocd thoughts..... my girlfriend i felt strong love feelings and i noticed a couple days later almost instantly my feelings for her feel very different do u think this has to do with the meds? when i think of anything that would annoy me before i felt this numbness i dont feel it either as much... after taking.
I’ve been on and off antidepressants for 20 years +, I often wonder if they really help or just mask the symptoms of something else. I’ve always thought that medication is something to be taken to cure an illness, not a way of life. I’ve raised this with my gp and they don’t seem interested
I think for me, I don’t want to become fully dependent on the meds. I wean myself off of them every so often and manage to function ok, though inevitably I do keep going back on them again. The doctors want me to take them full time but I want to be the way I was before my troubles began. Maybe I’ll never achieve my goal but I’ll always know that I managed ‘my life’ the best way I could.
@@liftingoutofthelows1341 hello, I'm taking fluvoxamine 50mg + Icitalopram 10mg in the night , but I feel sleepy all day and night , I have OCD Anxiety , before I slept 3days and Night continue, Is therea any medicine or some other methods? To get rid from Sleep, Please help me and Suggest me any medicine to stay awake, and Stay alert , I am tired to having sleep all day and nights 😢
I used Prozac and another type of fluoxetine for two months and I didn't feel any difference at all, then I stopped for 4 months I think, and now I'm back to using Prozac. This is my fifth day as well. I haven't felt anything. I suffer from a lot of intrusive thoughts. Do you think Prozac will help me in this matter? I'm also afraid of Prozac. I heard it causes strokes. Is this true?
After 5 days taking them i feel awful. Really bad side effects hense looking up others experiences. My head wont stop spinning,my legs and arms feel like theyre so heavy and i feel so faint and weak. Im not taking anymore,its definately the medication. It obviously doesnt agree with me
@@liftingoutofthelows1341 thank you that’s exactly my thinking. I’m at a lost to do the right thing . I don’t believe she needs medication at all . I can’t believe she is depressed she gets so much love , holidays , great family times great in school . But do these things matter ???
I don’t know the situation and I’m not a medical professional so I don’t want to comment on your situation but it sounds like if I was in your position I would do everything to avoid the medication, at least for the time being.
Give it at least a couple weeks but dig into that inner strength and get some positive habits going like gym and thing of that nature like I talk about in other vids. Good luck!
Fluoxetine stays in your system for 5 weeks. Even stopping them slowly, and when you stop, they’re still floating in your system. Could be a few weeks after you stop that you start feeling bad again.
From a sex drive in my experience No. That was my biggest problem with them and it took a long time for it to get to where it should be and a lot of work and healthy living. It's accepted in the medical industry they effect your sex drive
@@liftingoutofthelows1341 I’m seriously considering coming off them. I’d rather have my old sex life that better moods. Sounds daft but I’d definitely choose the former.
ive just started fluoxetine today and i really do hope it helps. the way im feeling has always been there but right now im going through a pretty bad breakup so its made things x10 worse.
You shouldn’t take it because you’re going through a break up IMO. I made that mistake before. You should just take it on the chin an accept break ups are part of life
Very interesting, thank you for sharing your experience. I am at a point where I seriously consider medication for depression and anxiety. In fact, I have already started with St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum), which is a herbal antidepressant that has shown comparable efficacy to SSRIs in scientific studies, while having fewer (if any) side effects (it is sold in pharmacies). I have never felt so bad in my life, despite trying my very best to have a good lifestyle. I sleep enough, have a good job, work out several times a week, which I have done for many years... sometimes depression just hits you like a brick, and right now I'm tumbling.
I have another video on St John’s wort and I found it to be pretty helpful. I’m sorry to hear about your mental struggles. All I can say is I’ve been there. It sounds like you’re living a good lifestyle and I’m not really sure what to say apart from maybe accept the depression if part of your mental life cycle? Of course I don’t know you and this is just my opinion but have you considered any other factors/ things you could change to shock your system? Specific fitness goals, cold exposure or anything similar. I know it’s not as simple as that and I don’t want to come across patronising by for me SSRIs weren’t the answer. I like you loved well and still felt really bad a lot of the time but after my struggles with psoriatic arthritis which I’ve done videos about it changed my perspective and I don’t struggle that much anymore. I wish you well on your journey
@@liftingoutofthelows1341 Thank you so much, you're a kind person. I will check out the video you mentioned. Indeed I have issues in my life, but I always thought I could deal with them somehow, and I've usually considered that other persons are so much worse off than I am. However, I now believe that my thinking patterns may be seriously flawed and probably need crucial adjustment, despite generally functioning well. I've honestly had pretty good times in my life, but I've always felt deep down that something is wrong. I can relate to your health issues, I've my share of those myself and this may have caused me to finally tip over the edge, so to speak. Right now I am looking at psychotherapy and hope this help me. I had a surgery recently and once I am fully recovered from that I'll start going to the gym again. Physical activity helps tremendously.
starting it is the worst i thought i was going nuts. but thats all SSRIs when u first start. now after a year on it its the best thing ever! helps with my OCD and anxiety with only 10mg. might up it to 20mg for my seasonal depression
hey dude i have a lot of questions 1. are u recovered now 2. do u get depression episodes sometimes 3. how long have u been in depression 4. id depression cureable if ur reading plz reply
Hey mate, 1. Yes i would say I'm recovered now 2. Yes i get depression episodes sometimes but feeling depressed is part of life and you have to get on with it. Your mind has to be more powerful than your feelings. Don't let negative emotions stop you doing what you have to because then you're really fucked 3. I always had periods of feeling depressed from when I was around 12 4. Yes you can cure it. Take positive action and your mind can overcome your feelings. It's hard but that's life
Fluoxetine at the 2010s for depression/anxiety was like ritalin for ADHD back in the 90s I was also on it two times. The numbness thing made it so that we could not experience the highs and lows of life - and learn how to deal with them as adults. And when psychologiets/psychiatrists ask you how you feel and you say "numb"/struggle to explain, they get frustrated and keep you on their meds. They are experimenting on the population en masse but insulate themselves from the known (and should have known) consequences.
I experienced a period of zombieness where I did really well academically but could not tell you any of the course content for that period despite being able to clearly recite the course content before and after being on it - including during bouts of extreme depression where I pushed through and still did my study. When you brought up the blurry vision thing is when I went "wow, yeah I also experienced that and any normal person would think experiencing that is messed up".
@liftingoutofthelows1341 my gp recommended i take it, but I'm not sure I want to, did your sex drive and erectile dysfunction come back after getting off the med
Good video, I'm thankful that there are antidepressents that can help when in big trouble, I've been on prozac twice and it does really help. I find the depression always comes back, I'm off prozac now but I keep some in the cupboard just incase of emgercy. I think of it like if you needed antibotics for a tooth infection , you would take or suffer for longer hoping it clears up. Situations like this can cost you your job and relionship, then you will feel far worst.
I'm going to shower you with attention and my awareness. I'm going to give you a lot of my time. I'm going to be in physical proximity to you. I'm going to touch you, hold you, cuddle you. I'm going to try to connect with you physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually. I'm going to take good care of you. I'm going to care about your needs. I'm going to help you to meet your needs. I'm going to help you to survive. I'm going to shelter you from excessive suffering, fear and trauma. I'm going to have your back. I'm going to defend you and be loyal to you. I'm going to take on your agenda as my own. I'm going to make you an extension of me. I'm going to treat you as well as i would treat myself. I'm going to be happy for you when you succeed. I'm going to want for you what you most want for yourself. I'm going to sacrifice for you and work on your behalf. I'm going to support you nurture you and encourage you. I'm going to cheerlead you. I'm going to encourage your self-exploration, self-expression and self-actualization. I'm going to respect your sovereignty as a consciousness. I'm not going to try to manipulate you, control you, dominate you or exploit you. I'm going to totally accept you and never judge you. I'm going to value you for your sake and appreciate you and see your intrinsic beauty. I'm not going to need anything from you and I'm not going to make you a tool to satisfy my own needs. I'm going to respect your point of view, wanting to understand your point of view, wanting to understand you, your uniqueness, taking the time to deeply get to know you. I'm not going to force my agenda or point of view on you. I'm going to listen to you and care about your interests and share similar interests with you. I'm going to develop togetherness with you and collaborate with you. I'm going to be there for you when you're down and hopeless. I'm going to be there for you when you're lonely. I'm going to validate your feelings, sharing your emotions with you, empathizing with you. Your pain is going to be my pain. I'm going to meet you where you're at, at your developmental level. I'm going to forgive you for your mistakes. I'm going to be patient with you. I'm going to see the good in you even when you don't see the good in yourself. I'm going to be generous and kind. I'm going to give you verbal approval and praise. I'm going to compliment you on your uniqueness. I'm going to keep my promises to you. I'm going to keep my peace with you, avoid conflict with you. I'm going to tell the truth to you. You're going to be able to fully trust me and I'm never going to cash in on that trust. I'm going to see your realness, warts and shadow and all as you truly are. I'm going to deeply appreciate the finite portion of consciousness that you are and I'm going to accept your selfishness whenever you have the urge to be selfish. Now ask yourself on a scale of 0 to 10 how loved do you feel? Open Your Eyes. 😂🦘🦘🧨
It's so weird because I just started on 10 mg, I have quite a bit of side effects. It's only been a week and I have a lot of improvement, but it's not numbing and happiness, it's healthy anger. It's the f****** beast is coming back and I'm going to f****** annihilate
Are you sure you are not bi polar? And work out 5 days a week and don’t eat sugar or refined carbs like potato’s bread rice, beans etc. (edit) lol i wrote this during the video and didn’t wait till the end to write this comment.Yep I expected that’s what you had was bipolar. Just from listening to half your video.
the habits are a good tip in bad days that keep you up, but you must go with a psychiatrist cause that you talk is a syndrome when you quit, you can´t quit the medication just like that! and you have to get therapy to
"taking pills arent the answer" Let me correct you by stating that this is YOUR opinion. You're not a doctor, but a yoga instructor. Speak for youself because this has been a god send for me any millions of folks around the world. With that being said, I'm happy to hear you're doing well so far. I dont know why you keep deleting my comments though ? Is it wise to take medical advice from a yoga instructor on youtube? Should you consult a qualified medical professional instead? So many questions.
Depending on the condition 98% of the time they aren’t the answer. I think people need to take accountability for their feelings. Too many people are taking them. More than 1 in 10 people take them in the USA and I think that’s down to bad lifestyle habits rather than a chemical imbalance. And they may of worked for you (that’s great) but for some people they’re taking them and they’re not helping and they’re still living a poor lifestyle
@liftingoutofthelows1341 it may not be the answer, but it may help people get to a baseline to get up in the morning and do productive habits. Then, slowly get off the meds and hopefully continue those habits.
I benefitted in the short term afterwards but if I could do it all again I wouldn’t take them personally. I feel in the end they just messed with my head and made it worse
Thanks for sharing your story dude !!! I’ve been on it for 3 weeks now and today is the first time I’ve started feeling good !!! I had some bad side effects but now I feel like calm waters if that makes sense !!
I’m glad it’s working for you mate!

Fluoxetine stays in your system for 5 weeks. Even stopping them slowly, and when you stop, they’re still floating in your system. Could be a few weeks after you stop that you start feeling bad again.
Interesting to know
Very true, the half life is long.
I’ve been on these pills for 3 weeks. My mood is improving but my sex drive has gone right down. Does your body get used to them?
From a sex drive in my experience No. That was my biggest problem with them and it took a long time for it to get to where it should be and a lot of work and healthy living. It's accepted in the medical industry they effect your sex drive
@@liftingoutofthelows1341 I’m seriously considering coming off them. I’d rather have my old sex life that better moods. Sounds daft but I’d definitely choose the former.
That’s one of the main reasons I came off them
@@runawayplane6166If Most of this medication is taken long term. It will cause major brain damage and affect your sex life.
Ugh, It's like making a deal w/the devil - Good Mood w/No sex drive -vs- Miserable & Horny
I a m 6 months using fluoxiteen capsul day 1 but i small result pure days .no effective this medicine
Perhaps speak with your DR?
Thanks, just got a this from my GP after struggling for years.
Good luck!
ive just started fluoxetine today and i really do hope it helps. the way im feeling has always been there but right now im going through a pretty bad breakup so its made things x10 worse.
You shouldn’t take it because you’re going through a break up IMO. I made that mistake before. You should just take it on the chin an accept break ups are part of life
Thank you for sharing 🙏
My pleasure
are you taking it ?
Hi am i going to take them for ever ? Or like just for months
I haven’t taken them for years
Very interesting, thank you for sharing your experience. I am at a point where I seriously consider medication for depression and anxiety. In fact, I have already started with St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum), which is a herbal antidepressant that has shown comparable efficacy to SSRIs in scientific studies, while having fewer (if any) side effects (it is sold in pharmacies). I have never felt so bad in my life, despite trying my very best to have a good lifestyle. I sleep enough, have a good job, work out several times a week, which I have done for many years... sometimes depression just hits you like a brick, and right now I'm tumbling.
I have another video on St John’s wort and I found it to be pretty helpful. I’m sorry to hear about your mental struggles. All I can say is I’ve been there. It sounds like you’re living a good lifestyle and I’m not really sure what to say apart from maybe accept the depression if part of your mental life cycle? Of course I don’t know you and this is just my opinion but have you considered any other factors/ things you could change to shock your system? Specific fitness goals, cold exposure or anything similar. I know it’s not as simple as that and I don’t want to come across patronising by for me SSRIs weren’t the answer. I like you loved well and still felt really bad a lot of the time but after my struggles with psoriatic arthritis which I’ve done videos about it changed my perspective and I don’t struggle that much anymore. I wish you well on your journey
@@liftingoutofthelows1341 Thank you so much, you're a kind person. I will check out the video you mentioned. Indeed I have issues in my life, but I always thought I could deal with them somehow, and I've usually considered that other persons are so much worse off than I am. However, I now believe that my thinking patterns may be seriously flawed and probably need crucial adjustment, despite generally functioning well. I've honestly had pretty good times in my life, but I've always felt deep down that something is wrong. I can relate to your health issues, I've my share of those myself and this may have caused me to finally tip over the edge, so to speak. Right now I am looking at psychotherapy and hope this help me. I had a surgery recently and once I am fully recovered from that I'll start going to the gym again. Physical activity helps tremendously.
Did you come off it cold or just taper the doses?
I tapered the doses. I think that’s a more sensible option. Tapered it over a period of about 3 weeks
starting it is the worst i thought i was going nuts. but thats all SSRIs when u first start. now after a year on it its the best thing ever! helps with my OCD and anxiety with only 10mg. might up it to 20mg for my seasonal depression
im glad you're having a positive experience
I am only 3 weeks in and I feel like I’m crazier than when I started. I have GAD and MDD. When did you start feeling any relief?
@ATebbs1 about 3 months in. was rough but make sure to eat food with it in the morning and take a prebiotic and probiotic
Great video ❤
Gracias :)
WAS IT GOOD FOR INFLAMMATION IN GENERAL?
I didn’t take it for inflammation
20 years now and I'm still undecided..just don't drink with it..may make you a bit bland.
Interesting perspective
hey dude i have a lot of questions 1. are u recovered now 2. do u get depression episodes sometimes 3. how long have u been in depression 4. id depression cureable if ur reading plz reply
Hey mate,
1. Yes i would say I'm recovered now
2. Yes i get depression episodes sometimes but feeling depressed is part of life and you have to get on with it. Your mind has to be more powerful than your feelings. Don't let negative emotions stop you doing what you have to because then you're really fucked
3. I always had periods of feeling depressed from when I was around 12
4. Yes you can cure it. Take positive action and your mind can overcome your feelings. It's hard but that's life
Fluoxetine at the 2010s for depression/anxiety was like ritalin for ADHD back in the 90s
I was also on it two times. The numbness thing made it so that we could not experience the highs and lows of life - and learn how to deal with them as adults. And when psychologiets/psychiatrists ask you how you feel and you say "numb"/struggle to explain, they get frustrated and keep you on their meds.
They are experimenting on the population en masse but insulate themselves from the known (and should have known) consequences.
I experienced a period of zombieness where I did really well academically but could not tell you any of the course content for that period despite being able to clearly recite the course content before and after being on it - including during bouts of extreme depression where I pushed through and still did my study.
When you brought up the blurry vision thing is when I went "wow, yeah I also experienced that and any normal person would think experiencing that is messed up".
Interesting to hear
The loss of erection and sex drive is a real downer for me
One of the main reasons i came off it
@liftingoutofthelows1341 my gp recommended i take it, but I'm not sure I want to, did your sex drive and erectile dysfunction come back after getting off the med
@@liftingoutofthelows1341 did your erectile dysfunction and sex drive come back after quitting?
Yes. I didn’t have ED but it affected my sex drive. It’s come back but it took a while some work. Lifting, eating right etc
Good video, I'm thankful that there are antidepressents that can help when in big trouble, I've been on prozac twice and it does really help.
I find the depression always comes back, I'm off prozac now but I keep some in the cupboard just incase of emgercy.
I think of it like if you needed antibotics for a tooth infection , you would take or suffer for longer hoping it clears up.
Situations like this can cost you your job and relionship, then you will feel far worst.
Im glad you get something good from them

Now ask yourself on a scale of 0 to 10 how loved do you feel? Open Your Eyes. 😂🦘🦘🧨
Wow, where is that from?
that's real deep my friend, a lot deeper and deserves a lot more attention too.
Wow...
Moving...
Just started fluoxetine yesterday and i felt really great! Then today was the exact opposite:')
I’m not sure what to say on that one
You just started, most of the side effects happen in the beginning. The positive effects only really start at about 4 weeks in taking it daily
It's so weird because I just started on 10 mg, I have quite a bit of side effects. It's only been a week and I have a lot of improvement, but it's not numbing and happiness, it's healthy anger. It's the f****** beast is coming back and I'm going to f****** annihilate
That’s a good feeling 💪
Did the sexual effects wear off after you came off them?
Yes but it took about a year and I was putting a lot of effort in doing things to increase it such as weightlifting and eating right etc
Thank you
You're welcome!
Works for me
That's good!
Well done bro, thanks for sharing. 🙏🙏
My pleasure
“She was cool… even though she was a pain in the arse” 😅😅😅
I’m sure you can relate 😂
Are you sure you are not bi polar? And work out 5 days a week and don’t eat sugar or refined carbs like potato’s bread rice, beans etc. (edit) lol i wrote this during the video and didn’t wait till the end to write this comment.Yep I expected that’s what you had was bipolar. Just from listening to half your video.
Lol. Cheers for the advice in the first comment
Sex with myself never heard that before 😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀
😎
After 1 week I was mentally exhausted
Stopped
Im sorry to hear that, I hope you’ve made a full recovery
9:00 cool but a pain in the ass haha. Which one mate?
I don’t understand the question lol. I think I was referring to my ex
You remind me of Jared Harris
I’ll take it as a compliment
the habits are a good tip in bad days that keep you up, but you must go with a psychiatrist cause that you talk is a syndrome when you quit, you can´t quit the medication just like that! and you have to get therapy to
I don't agree with the idea of therapy in my case
"taking pills arent the answer" Let me correct you by stating that this is YOUR opinion. You're not a doctor, but a yoga instructor. Speak for youself because this has been a god send for me any millions of folks around the world.
With that being said, I'm happy to hear you're doing well so far. I dont know why you keep deleting my comments though ? Is it wise to take medical advice from a yoga instructor on youtube? Should you consult a qualified medical professional instead? So many questions.
Depending on the condition 98% of the time they aren’t the answer. I think people need to take accountability for their feelings. Too many people are taking them. More than 1 in 10 people take them in the USA and I think that’s down to bad lifestyle habits rather than a chemical imbalance. And they may of worked for you (that’s great) but for some people they’re taking them and they’re not helping and they’re still living a poor lifestyle
@@liftingoutofthelows1341 No offense but I've been burned before by taking medical advice from a yoga teacher on youtube.
@@liftingoutofthelows1341 I've taken medical advice from yoga teachers before on youtube and have gotten burned.
No offende taken. Just giving my opinion. Perhaps you’re in the 2% I mentioned. I wish you well
@liftingoutofthelows1341 it may not be the answer, but it may help people get to a baseline to get up in the morning and do productive habits. Then, slowly get off the meds and hopefully continue those habits.
vigoe
my day one with fluoxetine
Good luck! Mindset has more control than people give it credit for so have a positive outlook and I’m sure it will go well
Have you looked at your testosterone levels?
Yes on a couple of occasions. Always in range
Didnt do much for me. Might as well take a dose of tee ache cee
Whatever works for you :)
Hey, did you gain any weight?
Zero but I train a lot
You had benefitted from it.
Are you asking or is that a statement?
@@liftingoutofthelows1341I’m asking
I benefitted in the short term afterwards but if I could do it all again I wouldn’t take them personally. I feel in the end they just messed with my head and made it worse
Vigio
It's no good folk's
I agree
Lol I pause when he said Sex with himself 😑
😏
Yeah it's an odd thing to call "masturbating" lmao
I had severe anxiety, agitation, and now I'm on CLONAZEPAM 2 MG and it's heaven‼️😀
Interesting. Maybe I should try them..
*BARRY* 🎉
I’m glad it’s working for tou
What time you take ?
Made me psychotic
sorry to hear that
Thank you
My pleasure
