Hi Dec!
I feel calmer and suffer less intrusive/unwanted thoughts ie. OCD obsessions.
I don't tend to worry about the future on SSRIs, my immediate needs seem more important. I can sometimes act impusively, I don't consider the consequences on an SSRI. I don't think about morality very much on SSRIs - although I don't do anything really bad LOL.
It's difficult to cry on an SSRI. I can easily watch some disaster on the news without really feeling anything. During abrupt withdrawal of an SSRI, I can cry at the drop of a hat..... so to speak.
SSRIs make me feel satisfied sitting on the couch. It's difficult to get motivated to do anything. Lying in bed feels kind of serene.
SSRIs delay my orgasms substantially and lower my libido. They also increase sweating. Paroxetine made me drowsy. Fluoxetine and citalopram less so. I've never taken sertraline. Venlafaxine felt like an SSRI to me.
>Never taken any of them myself........
LOL, it's funny that you're taking Parnate when you've never tried an SSRI - that must be VERY rare!
