Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
YES very sure of bergwilly11__. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Actually I try three of them, through five years and I didn't feel any better.. Depression plus social phobia plus OCD.. Sorry guys, all the best for you
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression , I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source here
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot , I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
I have crazy anxiety with a resting BPM of 120-130. Beta blockers saved me from going worse but my thoughts have still been very negative. i'm seeing a psychiatrist the first time next time. i hope that it will be good. i wish everyone reading this the best.

@Dragnet 1967 THIS WAS/IS a huge help! I walked 10 minutes for three days straight and noticed a difference; I got up in the morning much quicker than before! Thank you so much for reminding me of how much difference a walk can make!!
@@iamabideinitastjohn1567I have to start doing that. I know it helps. I'm in the house way to much. I'm getting a minipoodle in 2 or 3 weeks. So I will try to get outside and walk with him.
Well, I’m a registered nurse at 38 years and doctors don’t psychotropics like their candy and yes they can have bad effects unless you absolutely need one you shouldn’t take it and I think your case is proof of that.
First time coming across a Dr so honest and with no conlicting interests.Thanks Dr. In an unethical world medical ,pharmaceutical exploitation happen everyday you stand out as an exception. I take lexapro 10mg and that some how manages me to fight the life energy draining depression.I also take 400mg modafinil in the morning for15 years to start the day. I would like your answer on dosulepin 25mg. I also take 1.5 mg klonopin for years. As a dr you know what best works for the patient he only knows. We have other psychosicial factors which challenge our serenity built up by medicines going down the gutte by the behavior of others. .For me spiritual reading and other distractions help during such time..Thanks once again for speaking so honestly and with love,.May God bless you and your family always.❤
I can confirm that this doctor knows what he is talking about! I’ve taken all these and he is 100 percent dead on. Wellbutrin gave me panic attacks and Zoloft is what I’m on now. It’s ok. Leda pro is the only one I haven’t tried and would like to. Thank you!
Hello, just saw your comment. I am on Lexapro and switching to Cymbalta. Does it make you tired ? Or has it caused weight gain ? I’m always scared when it comes time to switch things up. Thank You
Get on medication guys it will save your life it sucks at first but it’s better for you to be on meds than battling your brain everyday and don’t worry what others say your are NOT weak
Thank you over and over and again! I am greatly appreciative to know there are ‘other choices’! I am so tired of never getting any better but didn’t know there are options! Yo are great!

i’m 15 years old. i’ve struggled with social anxiety my whole life, though it’s getting worse over the last few years. i’ve had severe depression for 4 years (an estimate), severe ocd for almost a year, ptsd for 2 years, and i’m questioning if i had bpd and/or add. i started therapy around october of last year and we’re beginning to discuss the option of medications. this was very helpful ty :) update: i am 17 years old. 18 in 2 weeks. i am now on an antipsychotic, antidepressant, and a mood stabilizer. i was diagnosed w autism, depression, anxiety, arfid+, and am suspected of having possible bpd, ptsd and adhd. i still am struggling, but it has gotten better. to anyone seeing this, never give up!
Hi i am getting through public anxiety i am 24 from past 2 years i have not met anyone just spend my whole day in a room can sugget me good medicine also i have anti depression disorder
These videos are all so helpful! I'm a New Zealander so it's a little surprising to see the cost of these things (I pay a minor admin fee, around $5 NZD for about 3 months of meds no matter what the anti-depressent is and even that can be refunded). I've had such trouble with meds that I'm wanting to learn more about them myself so these videos are perfect.
I wonder how much a liter of petrol is there? How much is a pack of cigarettes? How much does it cost to register your vehicle? Do you have a fee for driving more than a certain amount of kilometers a year? Socialised medicine is paid for in so many sneaky ways! I pay 2.78 usd for 3.8 liters of petrol. It cost me 68.00 usd to register my vehicle for a year. I can drive unlimited amounts of miles with zero fees for my mileage. A pack of cigarettes can be had for 1.62 usd. AND… I pay 15% of my income in income taxes. I think New Zealanders pay WAY more in income taxes. In my State, and many States in the US, there are zero taxes on groceries. Think really hard about whether your medications are actually cheaper than what we pay in the US.
@@robertwylie5567 buddy. The USA is basically a 3rd world country. You keep going on about cost. Well, medical bills is the no 1 source of debt in the USA. Btw. Kiwis only pay for KM on deisel vehicles depending on their size. NZ is incredibly small 🤣
@@robertwylie5567 NZ has a flat tax. And it's the no 1 world in the place to do business. The USA literally has 3rd world cities. NZ is a beautiful country. You don't see cities full of people living in tents. OFC it has problems but nowhere near the level of your sh ithole
My doctor took me off venlafaxine that I have been on for 18 years which I was good with and put me on Wellbutrin and I’ve been a disaster since about the first week. Coming off one and starting another, cancels out the first couple weeks as for me it’s hard to tell what’s what. But I have literally cried every day and feel terribly hopeless. Yes it makes me feel more alert but the sadness is intolerable. I’ve had Really really bad anxiety to the point I’m trembling or shaking. So I’m hoping the new doctor I’ve been assigned to will rework this to a better outcome. Thank you so much for your videos are very helpful
Dang I hope u find your help u need. My doc just put me on venlafaxine but I’m not sure if I even wanna take it because of the side effects and withdraws
This has happened to me. I was prescribed a different ssr prozac.I couldn't walk or talk barely function I stared at the wall every day for hours, called the doctor, and they told me stop taking it immediately really you said not to do that! The only one that has worked for me is Venlafaxazine. And buspirone hcl together that was the magic for my brain chemistry
I have depression, anxiety, ocd and adhd.. I take sertraline and bupropion. Bupropion is probably my favorite. I also take pregabalin for my anxiety, but I'm on my way to taper it out. I feel like pregabalin has done more harm than good.
Lexepro changed my life a couple of years ago. I had energy, interest in hobbies, happy, and hopeful. I was back engaged with family and built relationships. I had extreme decreased libido, but im single. It stopped working a few months ago and it’s horrible. Im on zoloft now post 10 days and im still depressed and tired and not motivated
How is the Zoloft working for you now? I’m starting my third week on Zoloft 50mg. I’m barely starting to feel the effects. However I’m still on a roller coaster but it’s better than being completely down. Hopefully it’s getting better for you.
Zoloft was the only med that helped me have a great mood and personality. Which also helped me attract and maintain a relationship. I'm usually single because of my bad attitude. But the lack of sex drive and intimacy ruined my great relationships.
I was on lexapro for years but it stopped working so now I’m switching to Zoloft but I was hoping it would be the same because lexapro really helped me
This is targeted at people who don’t understand rhetoric. The intention is for viewers to gravitate towards the ONE medication that has the least negative PRESENTED information. I guarantee, Cymbalta has a stake in this. Cymbalta is being pushed extremely hard outside the us market, and it was pushed on me for mild anxiety here in the uae. If you are willing to take the risk of being curled up in a ball on a bathroom floor thinking you are about to die, that your body is shutting down after missing a dose for only 6 hours-go ahead and take that chance. I’m a skeptic who has always had faith in pharmacology. Cymbalta is not the answer though. I have been off it for almost 2 years and I STILL have shocks of terror that last hours. ITS NOT JUST ME. PLEASW DO YOUR RESEARCH AND DONT JUST ACCEPT THE FIRST SUGGESTION. THE SAD FACT IS-THAT IS OFTEN THE PILL YOUR DOCTOR GETS PAID MOST TO PROMOTE. Drugs are good, it’s greed that makes all of us a bit crazy.
Paxil is good for anxiety and panic attacks. I swear, the panic attacks out of the blue were the worst. I’ve changed meds over the years since then. But…..: “For me” at the time, it really helped put an end to the panic feeling. I would highly recommend giving it a try. Hope this helps 🦋
I took escitalopram for years but it didn't have any noticeable effect. Now I started taking duloxetine and after only 4 days I'm already feeling much better. Really makes one see that there are big differences on how these types of drugs work for different people.
@@worfsonofmogh323 My doctors recommended that I stay on it. I was young and didn't know any better. Also, I was afraid of things getting worse if I stopped taking it. In hindsight it would have been much better to stop taking it and try another drug.
Agree, I was crazy on 300mg but 150mg is good dose for me. It kicks my ass so I can wake up from bed. I usually add 20mg of Prozac or 50mg Zoloft. Cheers from Poland.
Please try symbyax it is a (flouoxetine +olanzapine) a combination in one pill take 3/25 mg for two weeks after that take 6/50 it will change your life
I have been on Zoloft aka Sertraline since 1996 my nurse practitioner suggest I slowly start taking Vraylar. For a very long time I have been and still am severely depressed to the point now I just stay in the room under the cover 24/7 pretty much looking at TH-cam until I get a tired spell then sleep. Then wake for a hour or so.Then go back to sleep.. Repeat, repeat,repeat. Only to come out to eat something which is once a day. I only shower now like once a week. I used to shower and keep clean every day. I need work but no energy or will power to gather strength to go out and battle with the ugly world. But now I'm out of money and need to work . I have a wife and a daughter and a son who need me but I'm under the covers. I have been in bad shape since 2008.
As someone who lives in the uk where doctors are the ones choosing the meds for you it will always amuse me that Americans can suggest meds and even ask for a particular one to their doctors
plz talk about fluvoxamine. for some reason its been neglected in the US, although in terms of weight gain and sexual disfunction side effects its much less bothersome than the other SSRI's
For me it was the worst one I’ve taken for panic attack disorder now I’m farther down the hole severe depression and panic attacks I’m on mirtazapine and it honestly made depression worse by far it seems 😪 I hope one day I’ll be normal and myself again
It is quite unfortunate that Cymbalta / Duloxetine is so sedating. It's why I had to stop after 4 days. I was in bed as if I were sick. So far, I'm not getting the help I need. I would now like to try therapeutic psychedelics, because I'm out of options. But I don't know where to get them.
All of these medications takes time to work. If I'm having a panic attack I need help immediately not in a week when maybe the meds start working or maybe not... I have tried all of these medications and they all sucked unfortunately 👎🏻 It needs to effectively work on those gaba receptors to help anxiety but I see now that this video is for depression which I have also been diagnosed with and none of these worked obviously idk I give up
Ohh, imagine how it would feel to click on the video and find out you have taken all five for years and none helped. Exactly what i feel now. I wonder what I'm supposed to do. P.s: keep in mind if it didn't help me it still may help you.
I am in the same boat !!!! Tried so many , some work for a little while then stop. Trintellix , which i got 2 week samples of seem to help me a lot............but you have to hit the lottery to afford them , even with insurance !!!!!! so i dont know what to do or try !!!

What do you think about taking Wellbutrin in the morning and a low dose of Mirtazapine in the evening, if you suffer from both, fatigue and low motivation, but also sleep disorders?
@Natalie Hey, what kind of meds are you on right now if I may ask? Anyway, to my experience with these meds: I started taking 150mg Bupropion XL in January 2021, the first days I slept very little, like 1-3 hours a day. But at this point it didn't bother me because I still felt a lot more energetic then usually (was already awake before the alarm rings and could easily get up then, which is very unusual for me), also I became very tired in the evening of course, which made it easier to go to bed early. At this time I also was more sensitive to caffeine, but that and the poor sleep faded within the first weeks. Though it took me still longer to fall asleep then before bupropion. The first time I noticed a significant improvement of my wellbeing was after a bit less then 2 weeks, from that point on everything felt "easier", I became more communicative and felt way more energetic and generally didn't worry about unnecessary stuff all the time. The energy and also the increased trouble falling asleep slowly faded over the year, but not entirerly. I still had to take powernaps several times a day even in the beginning though, but don't know exactly what the cause for that is, probably a burnout-like condition due to cronic stress, but the mood lift stayed all the time! So it did a great job in preventing me from spiraling into negativity and greatly improved my emotional dysregulation, which I always have struggled with. I also have mirtazapine, but decided not to take it daily because I've often read that it's BRUTAL to get off of it... So I take about 3.75mg about once a week and can say it definitely is intense. Even this small dose (1/4 pill) makes me feel really tired and dizzy and it's very easy to fall asleep on it. It also raises the appetite drastically though and even the next day I tend to eat more and still feel a bit dizzy (+ I sleep longer and have trouble to get out of bed). Generally with mirtazapine I would carefully consider taking it when you have low energy because I would say its sedating effect outweighs the energizing effect of the bupropion, making you even more sluggish all in all. A higher dose (30mg+) makes you paradoxically more energized instead of tired, but then it doesn't help well for sleeping obviously. Another thing: From what I've read (only comments as source, take it with a grain of salt) bupropion seems to work a bit different for people with ADHD. Do you also have ADHD? For me it's the case that I found out having it last year and heavily underestimated the impact (like 80% of untreated patients have depression/ anxiety and sleeping issues!), being probably one of the root causes for my issues. Especially women are severely underdiagnosed because the symptoms aren't that obvious and then get the wrong treatment or are even not taken seriously by some docs, saying it's "only anxiety" or something and prescribe them wrong medication like SSRIs. Only a tip to do some research if you can identify with some symptoms, if not, sorry to bother you with this unnecessary information. Some patients write that starting bupropion made their anxiety worse or that they are more irritable in the beginning, but for me it was exactly the opposite. But the downside for me (seems to be rare) is that my ambition to be productive and start comlicated tasks suffered, because I didn't "care enough" anymore, maybe because last minute pressure was a big motivator for me. Probably the med took away my anxiety and the pressure to get the work done. But like I said, that seems to be not very common, others reported the opposite effect. All in all bupropion really helped me improving my wellbeing and I can definitely recommend it. Important to know is that I always have stayed on the initial dose of 150mg, so I don't know how 300 or 450mg would have affected me, maybe it could have worked way better with energy etc. As a sleeping aid melatonin works really well for me, as far as I know you can also take it daily without becoming dependent on it. I hope that I could help you with this information and wish you good luck tomorrow, if you have further questions feel free to ask :)
I've been bipolar for ever it seems I just can't get my family to understand nor read about this disorder so they'll understand it and what I've gone and still go thru with bipolar me
Down vote me if you want, but I've been on Prozac for 4-5 years, and LSD and DXM (preferably combined) have helped me with my depression in just a few doses more my SSRI. But this is just a personal anecdote. It probably will not be the same for others. But just know that there's more more solutions out there than what the pharmaceutical companies advertise. Do your own research and never stop believing that there's something out there that will work for you.
@@juneack5848 I think this will start to happen soon. A new drug just got full FDA approval called Auvelity. It has a combination of Dextromethorphan (45mg) and Bupropion (105mg). 100mg is the dose where DXM starts to become hallucinogenic, and Bupropion extends the half-life of DXM by slowing its metabolism. Since this medication is taken twice daily, it’s pretty close and probably at that level after a week of buildup. I believe this will cause a whole new wave of psychedelic drugs to enter testing and into the market in about 10 years.
Doctor, I suffered from severe depression for 3 years, and because there remained with me fear of people, anxiety, constant mild sadness, nervousness, impotence, and forgetting what is the treatment. Please and thank you
Wellbutrin is quite a drug, helped me a lot years ago but I've seen bad reactions. It being an NDRI, it is essentially a long acting stimulant. Girlfriend was on it for a while while she already has severe anxiety and it was awful
THANK YOU for Using the BRAND name because it’s easier to remember (for non professionals). We have heard those names before and we know our insurance will give us the generic regardless. What do you think of the new kid on the block: Trintillix? I’d Love a list for anxiety meds too. And why Buspar would be indicated and preferred for some folks.
I took Trintillix for about 2 months and it made me very angry. I beat up a long time friend until he was unconscious and with a broken nose... I'm known for being a kind guy who wouldn't hurt a fly so this medication pretty much almost ruined my life. Escitalopram works really great for me but gives me sexual side effects :/ I really wish it didn't cause that was the one I was on before Trintillix and it worked very well but the sexual side effects were impacting my relationship with my girlfriend. It's not fun being aroused only a couple days a week when normally I would be aroused pretty much every day once or twice at least.
Welbutrin gave me serious withdrawals when I quit it. VERY BAD, anybody taking it should be aware of that and get ready to do NOTHING for a while if you ever want to come off of it, it will SUCK.
Mentioning the intensity of your dosage, frequency and duration would help understand why the withdrawal was so intense. Not everyone needs the same dosage. Often comments that share personal difficult experiences using Wellbutrin might influence others who are evaluating taking it. I think it would be helpful to give a little more context so people don’t receive such comments as generalised feedback.
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to buprenorphine or naloxone; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
I'm on 2 from this list lol. Wellbutrin and Prozac. (As well as Buspar). It's alot, but it's a combination that's been working great for 3, 4 years. No issues.
Please have you able to function very well because my doctor prescribe antidepressants medication but I read the side effects is too much but am suffering my brain is not functioning very well please I need advice
Very good video! The only aspect I don't agree on is that Sertraline has more impact on Libido than Escitalopram, because in every single Metastudy Sertraline and Fluoxetine have a lower proportion of people who got SSRI induced sexual side effects than Paroxetine, Escitalopram and Citalopram. Thus, I would rather suggest to take Sertraline than Escitalopram unless the patient has a severe generalized anxiety disorder.
I agree with you. The escitalopram at low dose gave me the worst sexual dysfunction among the 5 antidepressants I've tried. Very disturbing, and one major reason why I stopped taking it. Now I'm on sertraline, and the effect on sex is not too bad. Works very well on anxiety.
Thank you Dr for the best informative news on all these meds , you explain everything so well , an it terms we can all understand. You are absolutely awesome . Again thank u!
Excuse me , could you tell me which drugs that can treat constant fearfulness , hopelessness , excessive worry, and social anxiety ? These conditions like the vicious hell 😢😢😢 may you please tell me. Loves from Myanmar ❤
Have you done any reviews of Visteral ......I took it for anxiety at 4 am after taking klonopin at 11:30 at that same night and it made me depressed but helped the anxiety and made me sleep.....it is the depression that worried me and anxiety.....what is the best antidepressant for not being able to sleep and having anxiety?....thanks
yikes I came here to get some hope before reaching out to someone. None of these seem to be worth the side effects or the effort to find a doctor. I'm going back to bed now.
Is celexa very similar to lexapro for anxiety ? Also how do you know if your symptoms are anxiety or from depression like headaches, I feel like I have a mix of both but I don’t know if my headaches are anxiety or depression related

@@evabrown2866 pristiq is practically the same as effexor. Effexor is venlafaxine. Absolute hell if you ever miss a dose, or worse if you want to quit it. They changed it ever so little so they could give it a new name and profit off it. Basically.
Loved your explanatins. Prozac falls in the Low Gene Interaction for me; Cymbalta is in the High Risk Interaction for me. (I'm on Cymbalta). Should I be concerned? I've discussed this with my Psych. Just wondering.
My doctor prescribed Cymbalta for me, im starting to have hives as side effects and im scared of the withdrawals, should i ask him to change it?? I need an advice
Had prozac (fluoxetine) when i was 16. Made me need rest more during the daytime and felt like a zombie. Had a suicide attempt then was on paroxetine, attempted suicide again, then on venlafaxine which made me keep involuntarily yawning. Came off meds no problem each time. Got binge eating problem after and psychiatrist put me on fluoxetine. Insomnia is always a feature in episodes and on these meds. Fluoxetine didn't work again although they kept increasing dosage. Then on citalopram but it caused gastric problems and still needed zolpidem to sleep. Switched to escitalopram which finally was the drug to combat depression, insomnia and binge eating! Brilliant. After a decade on it i now have alopecia areata. Discussed with gp that i thought escitalopram might be causing it. Couldn't get off escitalopram even though i tried tapering in past. Its hard to deal with the withdrawals of painful electrical zaps head to foot pretty much every few mins. Taking fluoxetine and pregablin to try to get off escitalopram. Hoping it works. I smoke heavily but they won't prescribe wellbupropen. Not sure why.
From memory, it caused heavy sweating which was quite embarrassing as that lasted quite a long time. No head zaps or body shocks when you come off that drug though.
@@blueskysings1 effexor XR withdrawal was horrible for me. My brain went numb and I have anhedonia now. I was on 225 mg of effexor. Sweating, insomnia, brain zaps before my brain went numb. I can actually feel the numbness on my brain. No psychiatrist can help and give me a fix or know what to do. For 2 years of withdrawal hell. Just so you know it can be hell. So be careful. I was on a high dose though. I have met many other people who wish they never started effexor. I tried commiting suicide from the withdrawals. I tried getting back on it but the damage was already done. I am like an emotionless zombie now. My brother tried Wellbutrin and it worked well with him. And he got off of it easy, (unlike I did with effexor). They won't prescribe it for me though.
Hi, i need some advice. I recently completed a 21 day inpatient rehab for alcholism and benzo addiction. They cut me off cold turkey and when i was released was a nervous wreck. Eventually my anxiety started to subside but was hit with major depression. I went to a local dr who precribed me wellbutrin during the am and lexapro during the pm. Ive only been on them for 2 weeks so i havent really felt much except some rebound anxiety during the day (maybe the welbutrin?) On top of this, i releaped twice since then on wine and was told this could increase my chance of a seizure. Another doc i spoke with said that i should stay on both if i can remain sober since theyre both low dose (wellbutrin 150xl, ledxapro 10mg). Complicating things, im still titrating down on valium to complete my benzo taper, im down to about 10mg a day.
Wow, that’s a complex issue for sure. I can’t give any specific advice for you unfortunately. Definitely a good discussion to have with your doctor. Some general information that can help though, Wellbutrin can make anxiety a little worse in some. It also can lower your seizure threshold. In your case with coming off of alcohol and seizures due to that I don’t have much experience to say the effect that Wellbutrin can have. That being said Wellbutrin can help some with addiction issues so there is possibly some benefit there. You may benefit from seeing somebody who specializes in addictions. Good luck and keep working hard on your sobriety. It will be worth it!
What about combining “Wellbutrin 450 xl with Pristiq 100. Mg, still have low grade depression and lack of motivation. Also taking Klonopin for Anxiety. Any suggestions I should discuss with my doctor. Thanks.
I have major depressive disorder!! I have had it since I was 21. I am now 69. Been on a dozen antidepressants...I am now on Cymbalta...have been for 15 years and every year my depression is getting worse...I have had a bout now for six months...very bad and I am very frustrated!!!

Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression , I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source here
Got mine from @Dr.healingstrain
He's on InSta 👆
I have been having constant and unbearable anxiety and depression because of university.
Dr.healingstrain is life saver. Thank you
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot , I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
Oh yeah , I know him , am happy to see *Dr.healingstrain* mentioned . He's such a genius mycologist .
I have crazy anxiety with a resting BPM of 120-130.
Beta blockers saved me from going worse but my thoughts have still been very negative. i'm seeing a psychiatrist the first time next time. i hope that it will be good.
i wish everyone reading this the best.

How did u feel when you first began effexor?
@Dragnet 1967 THIS WAS/IS a huge help! I walked 10 minutes for three days straight and noticed a difference; I got up in the morning much quicker than before! Thank you so much for reminding me of how much difference a walk can make!!
Yes, they say to walk and be outside when things are green. That's suppose to help with depression. I'm inside to much.
@@iamabideinitastjohn1567I have to start doing that. I know it helps. I'm in the house way to much. I'm getting a minipoodle in 2 or 3 weeks. So I will try to get outside and walk with him.
some of the newer antipsychotics that don't cause weight gain have been very helpful to me, helped me not want to hurt myself
I have treatment resistant depression. I never felt suicidal until i took antidepressants. After 8 years i stopped. I have felt better ever since.
Well, I’m a registered nurse at 38 years and doctors don’t psychotropics like their candy and yes they can have bad effects unless you absolutely need one you shouldn’t take it and I think your case is proof of that.
First time coming across a Dr so honest and with no conlicting interests.Thanks Dr. In an unethical world medical ,pharmaceutical exploitation happen everyday you stand out as an exception. I take lexapro 10mg and that some how manages me to fight the life energy draining depression.I also take 400mg modafinil in the morning for15 years to start the day. I would like your answer on dosulepin 25mg. I also take 1.5 mg klonopin for years. As a dr you know what best works for the patient he only knows. We have other psychosicial factors which challenge our serenity built up by medicines going down the gutte by the behavior of others. .For me spiritual reading and other distractions help during such time..Thanks once again for speaking so honestly and with love,.May God bless you and your family always.❤
I can confirm that this doctor knows what he is talking about! I’ve taken all these and he is 100 percent dead on. Wellbutrin gave me panic attacks and Zoloft is what I’m on now. It’s ok. Leda pro is the only one I haven’t tried and would like to. Thank you!
I've tried all these and cymbalta was the one that helped me x100.

Dr Richardson, have you ever tried any of these medications yourself? Thanks
These videos are all so helpful! I'm a New Zealander so it's a little surprising to see the cost of these things (I pay a minor admin fee, around $5 NZD for about 3 months of meds no matter what the anti-depressent is and even that can be refunded).
I've had such trouble with meds that I'm wanting to learn more about them myself so these videos are perfect.
Fellow kiwi here, yes we are lucky we pay virtually nothing for meds here! Just the side effects are a real c@nt!
I wonder how much a liter of petrol is there? How much is a pack of cigarettes? How much does it cost to register your vehicle? Do you have a fee for driving more than a certain amount of kilometers a year? Socialised medicine is paid for in so many sneaky ways!
I pay 2.78 usd for 3.8 liters of petrol. It cost me 68.00 usd to register my vehicle for a year. I can drive unlimited amounts of miles with zero fees for my mileage. A pack of cigarettes can be had for 1.62 usd. AND… I pay 15% of my income in income taxes. I think New Zealanders pay WAY more in income taxes. In my State, and many States in the US, there are zero taxes on groceries. Think really hard about whether your medications are actually cheaper than what we pay in the US.
@@robertwylie5567 buddy. The USA is basically a 3rd world country. You keep going on about cost. Well, medical bills is the no 1 source of debt in the USA. Btw. Kiwis only pay for KM on deisel vehicles depending on their size. NZ is incredibly small 🤣

Wellbutrin (brand name) and lexapro (generic) changed my life!
My doctor took me off venlafaxine that I have been on for 18 years which I was good with and put me on Wellbutrin and I’ve been a disaster since about the first week. Coming off one and starting another, cancels out the first couple weeks as for me it’s hard to tell what’s what. But I have literally cried every day and feel terribly hopeless. Yes it makes me feel more alert but the sadness is intolerable. I’ve had Really really bad anxiety to the point I’m trembling or shaking. So I’m hoping the new doctor I’ve been assigned to will rework this to a better outcome. Thank you so much for your videos are very helpful
Dang I hope u find your help u need. My doc just put me on venlafaxine but I’m not sure if I even wanna take it because of the side effects and withdraws
This has happened to me. I was prescribed a different ssr prozac.I couldn't walk or talk barely function I stared at the wall every day for hours, called the doctor, and they told me stop taking it immediately really you said not to do that! The only one that has worked for me is Venlafaxazine. And buspirone hcl together that was the magic for my brain chemistry
I have depression, anxiety, ocd and adhd.. I take sertraline and bupropion. Bupropion is probably my favorite. I also take pregabalin for my anxiety, but I'm on my way to taper it out. I feel like pregabalin has done more harm than good.
Lexepro changed my life a couple of years ago. I had energy, interest in hobbies, happy, and hopeful. I was back engaged with family and built relationships. I had extreme decreased libido, but im single. It stopped working a few months ago and it’s horrible. Im on zoloft now post 10 days and im still depressed and tired and not motivated
How is the Zoloft working for you now? I’m starting my third week on Zoloft 50mg. I’m barely starting to feel the effects. However I’m still on a roller coaster but it’s better than being completely down. Hopefully it’s getting better for you.
Zoloft was the only med that helped me have a great mood and personality. Which also helped me attract and maintain a relationship. I'm usually single because of my bad attitude. But the lack of sex drive and intimacy ruined my great relationships.
I was on lexapro for years but it stopped working so now I’m switching to Zoloft but I was hoping it would be the same because lexapro really helped me
This is targeted at people who don’t understand rhetoric. The intention is for viewers to gravitate towards the ONE medication that has the least negative PRESENTED information. I guarantee, Cymbalta has a stake in this. Cymbalta is being pushed extremely hard outside the us market, and it was pushed on me for mild anxiety here in the uae. If you are willing to take the risk of being curled up in a ball on a bathroom floor thinking you are about to die, that your body is shutting down after missing a dose for only 6 hours-go ahead and take that chance. I’m a skeptic who has always had faith in pharmacology. Cymbalta is not the answer though. I have been off it for almost 2 years and I STILL have shocks of terror that last hours. ITS NOT JUST ME. PLEASW DO YOUR RESEARCH AND DONT JUST ACCEPT THE FIRST SUGGESTION. THE SAD FACT IS-THAT IS OFTEN THE PILL YOUR DOCTOR GETS PAID MOST TO PROMOTE. Drugs are good, it’s greed that makes all of us a bit crazy.
How about Vortioxetine (Brintellix)?

Doctor please tell me. What is a best tablet for Depression and social Anxiety
It is quite unfortunate that Cymbalta / Duloxetine is so sedating. It's why I had to stop after 4 days. I was in bed as if I were sick. So far, I'm not getting the help I need. I would now like to try therapeutic psychedelics, because I'm out of options. But I don't know where to get them.
All of these medications takes time to work. If I'm having a panic attack I need help immediately not in a week when maybe the meds start working or maybe not... I have tried all of these medications and they all sucked unfortunately 👎🏻 It needs to effectively work on those gaba receptors to help anxiety but I see now that this video is for depression which I have also been diagnosed with and none of these worked obviously idk I give up
Ohh, imagine how it would feel to click on the video and find out you have taken all five for years and none helped. Exactly what i feel now.
I wonder what I'm supposed to do.
P.s: keep in mind if it didn't help me it still may help you.

What do you think about taking Wellbutrin in the morning and a low dose of Mirtazapine in the evening, if you suffer from both, fatigue and low motivation, but also sleep disorders?
@Natalie Hey, what kind of meds are you on right now if I may ask?
Anyway, to my experience with these meds: I started taking 150mg Bupropion XL in January 2021, the first days I slept very little, like 1-3 hours a day.
But at this point it didn't bother me because I still felt a lot more energetic then usually (was already awake before the alarm rings and could easily get up then, which is very unusual for me), also I became very tired in the evening of course, which made it easier to go to bed early.
At this time I also was more sensitive to caffeine, but that and the poor sleep faded within the first weeks. Though it took me still longer to fall asleep then before bupropion.
The first time I noticed a significant improvement of my wellbeing was after a bit less then 2 weeks, from that point on everything felt "easier", I became more communicative and felt way more energetic and generally didn't worry about unnecessary stuff all the time.
The energy and also the increased trouble falling asleep slowly faded over the year, but not entirerly. I still had to take powernaps several times a day even in the beginning though, but don't know exactly what the cause for that is, probably a burnout-like condition due to cronic stress, but the mood lift stayed all the time! So it did a great job in preventing me from spiraling into negativity and greatly improved my emotional dysregulation, which I always have struggled with.
I also have mirtazapine, but decided not to take it daily because I've often read that it's BRUTAL to get off of it...
So I take about 3.75mg about once a week and can say it definitely is intense. Even this small dose (1/4 pill) makes me feel really tired and dizzy and it's very easy to fall asleep on it.
It also raises the appetite drastically though and even the next day I tend to eat more and still feel a bit dizzy (+ I sleep longer and have trouble to get out of bed).
Generally with mirtazapine I would carefully consider taking it when you have low energy because I would say its sedating effect outweighs the energizing effect of the bupropion, making you even more sluggish all in all. A higher dose (30mg+) makes you paradoxically more energized instead of tired, but then it doesn't help well for sleeping obviously.
Another thing: From what I've read (only comments as source, take it with a grain of salt) bupropion seems to work a bit different for people with ADHD.
Do you also have ADHD? For me it's the case that I found out having it last year and heavily underestimated the impact (like 80% of untreated patients have depression/ anxiety and sleeping issues!), being probably one of the root causes for my issues.
Especially women are severely underdiagnosed because the symptoms aren't that obvious and then get the wrong treatment or are even not taken seriously by some docs, saying it's "only anxiety" or something and prescribe them wrong medication like SSRIs.
Only a tip to do some research if you can identify with some symptoms, if not, sorry to bother you with this unnecessary information.
Some patients write that starting bupropion made their anxiety worse or that they are more irritable in the beginning,
but for me it was exactly the opposite.
But the downside for me (seems to be rare) is that my ambition to be productive and start comlicated tasks suffered, because I didn't "care enough" anymore, maybe because last minute pressure was a big motivator for me. Probably the med took away my anxiety and the pressure to get the work done. But like I said, that seems to be not very common, others reported the opposite effect.
All in all bupropion really helped me improving my wellbeing and I can definitely recommend it.
Important to know is that I always have stayed on the initial dose of 150mg, so I don't know how 300 or 450mg would have affected me, maybe it could have worked way better with energy etc.
As a sleeping aid melatonin works really well for me, as far as I know you can also take it daily without becoming dependent on it.
I hope that I could help you with this information and wish you good luck tomorrow,
if you have further questions feel free to ask :)
I take Amitriptyline 25 in the morning and Mirtazapine 7.5 at night. Good
What about the combo of Wellbutrin and Zoloft? I think it's called 'Welloft'. Thanks!
Ah what a nightmare it is to have Bipolar
Agree. Im bipolar 2. Just about to start Wellbutrin.
I've been bipolar for ever it seems I just can't get my family to understand nor read about this disorder so they'll understand it and what I've gone and still go thru with bipolar me
Down vote me if you want, but I've been on Prozac for 4-5 years, and LSD and DXM (preferably combined) have helped me with my depression in just a few doses more my SSRI. But this is just a personal anecdote. It probably will not be the same for others. But just know that there's more more solutions out there than what the pharmaceutical companies advertise. Do your own research and never stop believing that there's something out there that will work for you.
I’m waiting for for psychedelics to get legalized. It’s has helped and I see no harm. We want to become well, not have fun
@@juneack5848 I think this will start to happen soon. A new drug just got full FDA approval called Auvelity. It has a combination of Dextromethorphan (45mg) and Bupropion (105mg). 100mg is the dose where DXM starts to become hallucinogenic, and Bupropion extends the half-life of DXM by slowing its metabolism. Since this medication is taken twice daily, it’s pretty close and probably at that level after a week of buildup.
I believe this will cause a whole new wave of psychedelic drugs to enter testing and into the market in about 10 years.
@@AznUzer I will look into this, thank you!

Wellbutrin is quite a drug, helped me a lot years ago but I've seen bad reactions. It being an NDRI, it is essentially a long acting stimulant. Girlfriend was on it for a while while she already has severe anxiety and it was awful
Have you tried Tianeptine? 12.5 mg three times per day? Best thing I ever ran into, but you have to get it overseas... Known as Stablon.
@@beebers99is it benzo medicine ?
Wellbutrin was awful for me too much anxiety!
THANK YOU for Using the BRAND name because it’s easier to remember (for non professionals). We have heard those names before and we know our insurance will give us the generic regardless. What do you think of the new kid on the block: Trintillix? I’d Love a list for anxiety meds too. And why Buspar would be indicated and preferred for some folks.
I took Trintillix for about 2 months and it made me very angry. I beat up a long time friend until he was unconscious and with a broken nose... I'm known for being a kind guy who wouldn't hurt a fly so this medication pretty much almost ruined my life. Escitalopram works really great for me but gives me sexual side effects :/ I really wish it didn't cause that was the one I was on before Trintillix and it worked very well but the sexual side effects were impacting my relationship with my girlfriend. It's not fun being aroused only a couple days a week when normally I would be aroused pretty much every day once or twice at least.
In my experience Trintellix didn't really help in my anxiety. So much insomnia and fatigue associated, I had to stop.
Welbutrin gave me serious withdrawals when I quit it. VERY BAD, anybody taking it should be aware of that and get ready to do NOTHING for a while if you ever want to come off of it, it will SUCK.
Mentioning the intensity of your dosage, frequency and duration would help understand why the withdrawal was so intense. Not everyone needs the same dosage. Often comments that share personal difficult experiences using Wellbutrin might influence others who are evaluating taking it. I think it would be helpful to give a little more context so people don’t receive such comments as generalised feedback.
Thanks for the information!!
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to buprenorphine or naloxone; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
I'm on 2 from this list lol. Wellbutrin and Prozac. (As well as Buspar). It's alot, but it's a combination that's been working great for 3, 4 years. No issues.

Zoloft was prescribed more frequently than any other antidepressant in the USA in 2018 with over 38 million prescriptions.
Can one take combinations of those? Cymbalta and Wellbutrin for example.
Very good video!
The only aspect I don't agree on is that Sertraline has more impact on Libido than Escitalopram, because in every single Metastudy Sertraline and Fluoxetine have a lower proportion of people who got SSRI induced sexual side effects than Paroxetine, Escitalopram and Citalopram. Thus, I would rather suggest to take Sertraline than Escitalopram unless the patient has a severe generalized anxiety disorder.
I agree with you. The escitalopram at low dose gave me the worst sexual dysfunction among the 5 antidepressants I've tried. Very disturbing, and one major reason why I stopped taking it. Now I'm on sertraline, and the effect on sex is not too bad. Works very well on anxiety.
very good video. great details on the types of meds
What about Paxil/paroxetine? It’s the most effective for both depression and all types of the anxiety Disorders!
What if non of these worked? what do you try next?
Ultimately it's your choice. Nobody is going to decide for you. I self medicate as doctors dont actually care about you or me
This was perfect!!!!

@@evabrown2866 pristiq is practically the same as effexor. Effexor is venlafaxine. Absolute hell if you ever miss a dose, or worse if you want to quit it. They changed it ever so little so they could give it a new name and profit off it. Basically.

thanks a lot. but does this channel belong to the doctor?
One day someone might mention the positives about these medications.
Loved your explanatins. Prozac falls in the Low Gene Interaction for me; Cymbalta is in the High Risk Interaction for me. (I'm on Cymbalta). Should I be concerned? I've discussed this with my Psych. Just wondering.
Is it true that you know only five untidepressants?
My doctor prescribed Cymbalta for me, im starting to have hives as side effects and im scared of the withdrawals, should i ask him to change it?? I need an advice
whats the difference between Apathy and Anhedonia? why isnt Anhedonia separated from depression?
Thanks doctor .
Please say about paroxetine.
Had prozac (fluoxetine) when i was 16. Made me need rest more during the daytime and felt like a zombie. Had a suicide attempt then was on paroxetine, attempted suicide again, then on venlafaxine which made me keep involuntarily yawning. Came off meds no problem each time. Got binge eating problem after and psychiatrist put me on fluoxetine. Insomnia is always a feature in episodes and on these meds. Fluoxetine didn't work again although they kept increasing dosage. Then on citalopram but it caused gastric problems and still needed zolpidem to sleep. Switched to escitalopram which finally was the drug to combat depression, insomnia and binge eating! Brilliant. After a decade on it i now have alopecia areata. Discussed with gp that i thought escitalopram might be causing it. Couldn't get off escitalopram even though i tried tapering in past. Its hard to deal with the withdrawals of painful electrical zaps head to foot pretty much every few mins. Taking fluoxetine and pregablin to try to get off escitalopram. Hoping it works. I smoke heavily but they won't prescribe wellbupropen. Not sure why.
How was withdrawal with venlafaxine
From memory, it caused heavy sweating which was quite embarrassing as that lasted quite a long time. No head zaps or body shocks when you come off that drug though.
Helen Imdad thanks for replying
@@blueskysings1 effexor XR withdrawal was horrible for me. My brain went numb and I have anhedonia now. I was on 225 mg of effexor. Sweating, insomnia, brain zaps before my brain went numb. I can actually feel the numbness on my brain. No psychiatrist can help and give me a fix or know what to do. For 2 years of withdrawal hell. Just so you know it can be hell. So be careful. I was on a high dose though. I have met many other people who wish they never started effexor. I tried commiting suicide from the withdrawals. I tried getting back on it but the damage was already done. I am like an emotionless zombie now.
My brother tried Wellbutrin and it worked well with him. And he got off of it easy, (unlike I did with effexor). They won't prescribe it for me though.
What is wellbupropen? You mean Wellbutrin/bupropion? Cause they won't prescribe me Wellbutrin. I can't get an answer why.
Hi, i need some advice. I recently completed a 21 day inpatient rehab for alcholism and benzo addiction. They cut me off cold turkey and when i was released was a nervous wreck. Eventually my anxiety started to subside but was hit with major depression. I went to a local dr who precribed me wellbutrin during the am and lexapro during the pm. Ive only been on them for 2 weeks so i havent really felt much except some rebound anxiety during the day (maybe the welbutrin?) On top of this, i releaped twice since then on wine and was told this could increase my chance of a seizure. Another doc i spoke with said that i should stay on both if i can remain sober since theyre both low dose (wellbutrin 150xl, ledxapro 10mg). Complicating things, im still titrating down on valium to complete my benzo taper, im down to about 10mg a day.
Wow, that’s a complex issue for sure. I can’t give any specific advice for you unfortunately. Definitely a good discussion to have with your doctor. Some general information that can help though, Wellbutrin can make anxiety a little worse in some. It also can lower your seizure threshold. In your case with coming off of alcohol and seizures due to that I don’t have much experience to say the effect that Wellbutrin can have. That being said Wellbutrin can help some with addiction issues so there is possibly some benefit there. You may benefit from seeing somebody who specializes in addictions. Good luck and keep working hard on your sobriety. It will be worth it!
Oh my god i suffered seisures .
I hate tell you what i was told..U CANNOT DRINK AGAIN
. DO U GO AA..
Hope you are doing well!
How did your benzo taper go
What about combining “Wellbutrin 450 xl with Pristiq 100. Mg, still have low grade depression and lack of motivation. Also taking Klonopin for Anxiety. Any suggestions I should discuss with my doctor. Thanks.
Thank you!
Can you make a video about your top anxiety medicines? I only have anxiety and not depression
It's on my list, thanks for the suggestion
I also have a lot more anxiety then depression
I'm on Venlafaxine, but I thought I'd mention that I did have seizures on Wellbutrin.
I have major depressive disorder!! I have had it since I was 21. I am now 69. Been on a dozen antidepressants...I am now on Cymbalta...have been for 15 years and every year my depression is getting worse...I have had a bout now for six months...very bad and I am very frustrated!!!
Try Phenelzine (Nardil)...nothing beats it.
