In reply to SSRI's - question, posted by Sarah T. on June 13, 2005, at 4:48:11
Hi Sarah,
I find SSRIs anxiolytic, but not antidepressant. They help my OCD but make me apathetic. My drive is reduced. It's almost as if I'm surrounded by a protective bubble, shielding me from the world. A veil comes down over my eyes. This can be good but it can also be bad. I can't seem to look to the future, I can't work towards a goal, I feel like sleeping. Sadly, I don't have much choice, treatment for OCD is c*rap. At least if I was depressed I'd have some options. On an SSRI, my life is at a standstill, I cannot move forward, I cannot see the future. I am stationary, a bit like a plant.
Kind regards,
Ed.
