The irony is taking antidepressants to get well and ctb
They work like magic.hope this lasts tho.all this time I've been feeling my body limp like my nerves aren't working like I'm on drugs couldn't think tired mood always bad. Right now my mood is clear there's energy in my body.

Did you take SSRIs or similar for the first time? I thought the escitalopram when I tried it felt shockingly like some extremely dirty ecstasy or similar rolly empathogen. Did not last though, 1 week max and I was back to "normal" and it slowly just numbed out everything so much it made everything worse. And they specifically say that they start having effects in 2-4 weeks or something, which I thought was just blatantly wrong.

Well shit I guess I only have 1 week to do it

Yes they say that but in reality it's the opposite they work for me from the start then after a while I start coming back to low bad mood again.still not as bad as not taking them at all.

Yeah it's all subjective of course, I guess have fun and don't let my "1 week" timer ruin the fun for you it was just my experience. I was prescribed it for really bad depression and severe pure ocd so something related to that might also be what made it not feel like the right medication for me. The NDRI Bupropion I thought was the only alright one, called Wellbutrin for example. If this doesn't work out for you in the end, perhaps look into that one and see what your doctor says.

I was on paxil for ocd. Went off of it because I am supposed to be taking Mirtazapine to sleep. Tried it like twice. was scared of it. Does anyone take that for sleep?

I took mirtazapine and melatonin last night for the first time for sleep. It made my body fall asleep but not my brain and was a horrible experience, basically paralysed but awake and wanting to move. Today my arms and legs feel like rubber, hands feet and lips are tingling and I feel sick and dizzy. I called my MH team and told them I won't be taking them anymore. I wanted to try again with meds because nobody takes you seriously if you're not on them but my body can't handle them. I've read lots of people praising mirtazapine but it's really fucked me up. Just want it out of my system.

I've only taken mirtazapine to trip or to sleep and it's usually great for sleep but leaves me drowsy for a long bit after waking up. Tripping on it you feel like you are walking on a trampoline at all times and you'll see some weird visuals and be really tired.
