>OK, were these the four: Paxil, Celexa, >Wellbutrin, and Prozac? Could you summarize "the >good, the bad, and the ugly" when it came to >those again? Some of your posts from earlier >where... uh... a little unclear. ;-)
Paxil: relatively good at low doses (I was extrovert) ... at high doses I wanted to kill my girlfriend, myself and my psychiatrist (rage, anger, fury)... horrible withdrawal - delayed ejaculation
Celexa: mental and physical tiredness - weirdness - no wirthdrawal - no sexual dysfunctions - apathy - some help with concentration at low doses
Wellbutrin (only ten days): extroardinary sensation of weirdness - blank mind or manic rage (dipending on the moment) - extroardinary forgetfulnesses or improved organization (depending on the moment)- nervousness
Prozac (only ten days): feeling like I were dead -didn't want to do anything - tired tired tired - a bit suicidal - strong detachment from reality
(first time I tried Prozac years ago I had opposite effects: I got a little hypo and agitated. I stayed on it for six months, I was able to study and my social life was good even if I was a little detached and sometimes aggressive. I quit it because I was too high I think ... Last time anyway I tried a 'different' version of fluoxetine)
Anafranil: shy and introverted - concentrated - lonely and mildly depressed - a bit obsessive
> You mean depressions in the elderly? Hmmmm.lol
I mean depression with tendency to isolate

I don't think it's coincidental. Yesterday and the day before I skipped Anafranil and I felt physically fine. Today I took the pill and I feel ill again (sore throat and flu-like-syntoms)
> Heh, pstims being "natural". LOL
What I was trying to say is that there is something like ampethamine in our body but there is nothing like ... fluoxetine ! Ok, maybe it doesn't mean anything

Really ? This is great

Yeah, you helped me a lot. In my worst days I got tremendous help from your posts. I had the sensation that there were people out there who could understand.
Bye !
