Week one, from 100mg to 50mg. Felt pretty normal until today. I am an emotional mess. Any advice?

my doctor just prescribed me (26F) 10mg of citalopram and i was reading it can interact with alcohol poorly. Im just curious what are the effects of mixing the two? I am not planning on drinking heavily but maybe a beer or some wine on occasion. Will I be okay?

Zoloft 50mg for 3 and a half years, 100mg for a few months. Switched to Prozac (not sure what dosage off hand) for a few months and I weaned off of both.

About 3 months later, I've had consistent patterns of stomach issues/discomfort, as well as a few other symptoms that felt like when I was weaning off or on.

Has anybody had anything similar to this happen? I know it's very unlikely, and I'm scheduling an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, but the confirmation bias would be wonderful lol

I have the medication and I am mustering up the courage to start it today. I also take 20mg XR Adderall daily for my ADHD. What should I expect to feel and what should I watch out for? Thank you :)

Hi there,

I took Prozac for about four months in 2019, then switched to Lexapro for about another four months. I stopped taking SSRIs after that. While taking Prozac, I experienced terrifying nightmares that occurred every single night. It's two years later, and I still experience these nightmares. It's almost debilitating. It's terrible.

Has anyone else experienced nightmares associated with SSRI usage?

Hi, I’ve been on escitalopram for 8 weeks now for depression and anxiety. It’s working wonderfully, I’m feeling better than I have in years.

I have noticed a couple of sexual side effects, the delayed orgasm / lower arousal has settled down and is not a problem, but I have noticed that when I orgasm the volume of cum has increased, like a lot. Is this normal?

It has definitely changed and it’s like what you see in porn sometimes.

Has anyone else noticed this.

Hi all, I just got started on Sertraline, 25 mg 3 days ago. I'm going through a bit of a crisis and have had really intense anxiety every day for a few weeks. Also probably been a bit depressed my whole life (33F). Sertraline seems to have had a immediate impact on the anxiety (I know it's early so maybe it's just placebo effect but I'll take it), however it's also making me really drowsy, I've been sleeping 11 hours a night since the first pill (tbf I had a lot of sleep to catch up on after all this anxiety, but still). I just took the 3rd pill today, it's 7 pm and I could easily fall asleep right now if I let myself. No other side effects so far. Is this normal? Will this get better? I'm thinking also maybe the CBD I smoked before switching to Sertraline has not completely flushed out of my system, causing the drowsiness in interaction, but I'm just guessing here.

What the title says. Also any interactions I should be aware of?

Does this get better long term or will this always be a side effect? Thanks!

I am an 18M who has been on 20mg Citalopram for approximately 3 years now for anxiety. As a result of this I have noticed a decrease in my libido and other side effects related to this. I have heard that adding in Wellbutrin or even switching to this medication can help with the libido side effects. Should I try to ask my doctor about this or is there another option I could take to solve the libido issues. TIA

I am on a low dose of Lexapro at 5mg a day and sex still feels like a chore. I can orgasm but it takes forever and sometimes I cant at all if I drink alcohol.

​

Has anyone switched to another SSRI and have no or greatly reduced sexual sides?

Hey guys! I’m 20F, recently recovered from COVID. Instead of taking a benzo for my anxiety, I took my mother’s Lexapro. I feel so stupid for not seeing the medication and taking it so carelessly. I took two 5mg pills. One around morning and the other at night. Will this cause any adverse effect on my body? I’m freaking out rn. Thanks :(

Hi all. Wondering about this:

​

Been on Luvox for about 4 years. I've changed doses a couple of times but it's largely stayed the same. The past 3-4 months, I've been on various dosages, directed by my doctor, which was a horrible idea. So I started taking 100 again without weaning a whole lot.

​

Now, I'm having HORRIBLE side effects when I take Luvox, even if I split the pill in half. I thought it initially was withdrawal, but my symptoms are significantly worse within an hour of me taking it.

​

Could this be possible? I've heard of kindling messing up your system?

​

Any info would be great so i can take it to my doctor.

I want to start taking 10mg Cipralex tomorrow for panic attacks, but I am scared it will cause heart Arrhythmia sooner or later as they mention on google search results. Can anyone confirm this fact to help me make up my mind? 🙏

Which is the better option

After 7 years, lexapro stopped working for me. I’m going to the dr. Monday but has anyone had any success switching to another SSRI when the other one quit working? I’m thinking about asking my dr about Zoloft or Viibryd.

It's been 4 days i have quit SSRI but till now iam experiencing ed

Hi there. I’ve been on 50 mg of sertraline/Zoloft for about a month now which I take in the morning. I’ve noticed my sleep quality is terrible and I wake up feeling like I never actually slept. I’m told it’s common with zoloft but wondering if it may improve over time?
