/dep/ - Depression★

Any kind of "opram" will turn you in to a lobotomized succubus. Shove your antidepressants up a doctor's ass

You're right. Drugs only mask the cause of anxiety and sadness, not address the source.

SSRIs are placebo.
They do have real side effects, though, so, be careful.

Yeah you're right the trade off seems worse I'm already depressed having my dick not work and being numb seems like shit

Escytalopram is every baby's first depression med
They give it to everyone specifically because its quite soft and easy to drop
But yes, libido will drop, for me it went from masturbating every day to once every 3 days and with a less stiff erection

But drugs are for desperate people. you should take them when your problems are of such magnitude, it doesn't matter if you'll be able to masturbate.
I think that's the issue with psychiatry. Imagine they gave chemotherapy to randos. Of course people would get burned and complain. Only do it when your life is at risk/in freefall

That makes sense I'm just mad at myself that I need these things why me

If you've been prescribed it by a doctor you can tell them if it's causing you libido / erection problems. Sometimes they add a supplementary medication, usually Wellbutrin (bupropion), but other times they will just take you off it and put you on another med that doesn't affect the penis (again maybe Wellbutrin on its own or perhaps Mirtazipine).

Anecdotally, I am on Wellbutrin at the moment because I tried SSRIs/SNRIs and found them to be crap. Wellbutrin is weird; it makes you feel kind of angry and horny. I've been on it perhaps a month now and that's as accurate a description I can give you as to what it does: makes you angry and horny. I'm gonna keep taking it for now as I don't mind these effects.

Stop that shit right now.

Can you explain how to do the holotropic breathing in a few sentences? Is music necessary?

>>298515
-You need assistants, at least one. Towels, paper, cushions. A comfy and well supplied site.
-Music is to take advantage of the trip itself.
-The holotraveler must have them eyes covered.
-Start hyperventilation.
-The sitter, the watcher must know that some special moments within the hallucinations of the sitted one must be taken care of in special, accurate ways, yet usually people asks for whatever (help for stretching, pression, voices, whatever)
-Some experiences can be quite unsettling yet none of them dangerous as it happens when using LSD.

There are some music lists in YT specially put for these practices. They always recommend carrying out these things under professional eyes.
