I get some people need to take SSRI drugs, but it's turning many of them into callous numb inhuman aholes. There's at least one in every office.
- it's more like that they were just born assholesGnash
- Ssri really makes people callous, it's a fact. I bet hillary was on that shitpinkfloyd
- SSRIs are antidepressants. For most people that need them, they make their lives happier, more stable and tolerable.monospaced
- ^yup.Gnash
- i know several people that ssri's are helping in really positive ways.Gnash
- They literally numb you down. It's suppressing your depression, but it's also suppressing all of your emotions makig you less humanpinkfloyd
- I'm not sure about the tolerable partpinkfloyd
- ya. that's how they help, though. keep people from getting too low into that depression trough. which is so hard to get out ofGnash
- if anything, they may not be as engaged or activated, but I don't think they become less human.Gnash
- it's a chemical lobotomypinkfloyd
- unless one was already an asshole. no pills for that.Gnash
- giving people weight gain and limp libidopinkfloyd
- when you're numbed down, your choices would be less compassionate and more assholepinkfloyd
- whether people want to believe it or notpinkfloyd
- that may well be true in some cases, but less-compassionate is better than suicidal. and they are often meant to be used for a limited timeGnash
- pink, are you concluding this on opinion or personal experience taking SSRIs? it's definitely not a "chemical lobotomy" dudemonospaced
- I have some close friends and even family members who have to have them, and they are certainly not assholes or numbed. :(monospaced
- i'm basing this off of former psychiatrists such as peter breggin, and rober whittakerpinkfloyd
- and experience with people who've been taking thempinkfloyd
- My wife took them for a bit, and i agree with pinkfloyd changed her personality, libido etc but as Gnash pointed out much better than the alternative._niko
- But studies on Psilocybin are quite promising, year long postive effetcs with a single dose with little or no side effects, changes your outlook on life_niko
- just to clarify, i have never taken ssripinkfloyd
- but if it's helping people from the deep depression, it should be available to thempinkfloyd
- ^^^^see, change in personalitypinkfloyd
- I think it’s a good idea to err on the side of caution and not just assume it’s an antidepressant causing people to act in ways you don’t like.monospaced
- Mostly because it simply might not be the case at all. But also because that is quite generalizing and isn’t the case with all people taking them. Cheers.monospaced
- Being numb and callous is a fact. It's what the drugs do. I just don't think 30% of the u.s. population needs it.pinkfloyd
- I've experienced it 3 times now and i'm seeing an annoying pattern with the people take them.pinkfloyd
- just sayinpinkfloyd
- Oh so you know for sure that they are on them and that’s why they’re like that. Damn.monospaced
- no, I notice patterns in their personality: controlling, always having to be right, callously oppressing for personal gains, etc.pinkfloyd
- don't get me wrong, there's people close to me who take it as well, and they needed it :(pinkfloyd
- So you aren’t sure they’re on the frugs at all? Anyway good luck with that.monospaced
- Not sure what that means and why you're obsessedpinkfloyd
- crazy...pinkfloyd
- I'm not obsessed, sorry. I was just trying to figure out if you know they're on the drugs, or just deducing based on their behavior.monospaced
- It's slightly personal for me. I've never taken them before, but I have close family that does. No need to call me crazy, dude.monospaced
- SSRIs suck. There's gotta be a better way- it pretty much is a lobotomy. But I'd never judge another for taking them; this life is difficult.notype
- ...rather, can be.notype
