I was on escitalopram for years. Got tired of being fat. Asked for something else. Trintellix wasn’t cutting it. Added buspiron. That stopped my spirals. Still fat, taking 2 pills, buspiron makes me sleepy, and Trintellix is expensive. Enter fluoxitine! We’ll see if it works.

    I recently got off it after 7 years and honestly I prefer the sense of despair I have now than what I can only describe as a chemical lobotomy.

        I mean the holiday was nice. But later found out other things were going on and realised it was more a crutch. But yeah each their own and hey it works different for different folk. Wasn’t for me might be for you 😁
