DISCLAIMER THIS SITE IS NOT INTENDED FOR MEDICAL ADVISE. Hi people, I wanted to warn anyone who wonders wether to take antidepressants or not. I wanted to tell you not to do it because it can cause you permanent brain damage. This is not the full video which I made , Its only a part of it but in it I axplain what antidepressants did to me. I did a terrible mistake taking an SSRI called Citalopram and it did dmage to my brain. Befor taking the drug I was an A student and was very motivated to do my work, I had dreams and plans for the future, I also felt love ( the most wonderful feeling that makes you sad sometimes but inspires you), I could experiance the world like every huma being. I lost all of these things the love for my work , the love for the boy which inspired me, I lost my feelings for everything that is precious to me , I died for the world. I feel like Im not 20 anymore, Im not the happy sensitive person I was. In my channel I had uploaded episodes called "First Wave" Its not very famous but I loved it from a child until now and I uploaded it so that more fans could see it. But after I took Citalopram I lost my feelings for it , for my favourite show which I have always loved and all the songs and films which inspired me. I feel like a living dead person now and I know why people commit suicide when they are on these drugs. Because they lose their love for life. My brain doesnt produce almost any dopamine and dopamine is the real hormone of happyness because it make us feel and experiance the world, it fuels our dreams and desires and what the drugs do is to lower it down so you cant feel pleasure from anything. All this happened to me because of this SSRI drug. I went to a doctor again and they prescribed me another one and I got an adverse reaction to it. Now Im almost fully anhedonic , I tryed to commit sucide 3 weeks ago but it was unsuccessful, It was because of an adverse reaction to another one called Anafranil. Hopefully in the hospital they didnt give me any more drugs. I wanted to warn you about these drugs and that they are very dangerous and just the same as streat drugs. The farmacies recieve money from them because they cause addiction and long lasting damage. I took the pills on the end of March 1011 and after that my life fell appart. The same will happen to you if you take any of these drugs. People dont really understand what depression is, they thing that when they suffer from love or from a loss of a loved one they are depressed but they are not. Feeling sad is only human , If we can feel sad we can feel happy as well. Now I cant even feel sad , I forse myself to cry but all that comes out is one tear from the right eye , nothing else. Every day looks the same now I feel like my life is pointless, like all my dreams died along with my feelings for the world. I cant feel love, I cant even feel nostalgia anymore, I dont feel happy thinking about my home and my relatives. I wanted to warn every one of you who wonders wether to take these drugs. Dont do it because the same will happen to you and you will ruine your life. The greatest treasure that we have are emotions , if we loose them , we are nothing. Now Im in a state of anhedonia - the worst thing that can happen to you. People with anhedonia are the saddest people in the world because they live pointless ); this will happen to you if you take these drugs. I saw that so many people are put on them even innocent children - it is inhumane ); I wanted to warn as many people as I can about this danger. Me and many other sufferers are the tragic example why you shouldnt take these pills. If I cant save my life at least I can prevent this to happen to others. These drugs are not the way to happyness but to eternal suffering. I would like you to look at the links below, I think that they explain a lot about why you shouldnt take them:

This is the real hormone of happyness. The one that makes us feel the one that makes us human. The antidepressants lower it down :

  • try acupuncture to release your bodes own hormones. it will lift your mood.

  • @SuperDelta000 Thank you for your help

  • I don't think ur feelings can be permanant esp. after taking the antidepressants for such a short period of time. Wut did ur psychiatrist say wen u told him how ur now feeling?

  • @weasalw I thought this way too but my feelings never returned to how they were before the pills. I did research and found out that Im not the only one and there are other people having reactions from few pills. The psychiatrist didnt lisen to me, I explained that Im completely numb, no emotions, sad or happy. But he claims that this is due to depression not the drugs and kept offering me more drugs.

see all

  • This is very common, and I wish there were more people like you talking about this. I spent 5-6 months on SSRIs and they totally destroyed my emotional spectrum, most importantly my ability to feel happiness. This isn't a rare side effect, or a joke, or just an anecdote about SSRIs, they really do this, and evidence to support this phenomenon. However, psychiatrists don't seem to care or avoid the fact that a drug treating depression is worsening one of the main, worst symptoms: anhedonia.

  • @Marcioszka2 how many drugs exactly were you taking where they numbed you out? do you believe this a rare case that doesnt happen to everyone? if i am young only 21 can i still make a good recovery? THanks i just really need someones opinion

  • @TheChembalin how large was the dose you were given for these drugs?

  • i felt exactly the same, had no sexual function and had awful side effects, also all my emotions were blank and gone. I would never take these again.

  • How are you now, 1/31/2012...I just took my so off he was on Celexa 2 months and having exact side effects you descrbed...

  • I want to warn young people about psychiatric drugs and psychiatrists. It is EXTREMELY dangerous to see a psychiatrist and get drugged by one. DON'T DO IT. Find other OPTIONS FIRST. STAY AWAY FROM PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS. THEY ARE NEUROTOXINS.

  • @Marcioszka2 Don't use synthetic drugs. You will damage you're receptors and central nervous system. Excersize too boost natural chemicals in brain. take brisk walks 20-40 mins daily. Try for 1 month.

  • However, healing with the help of nutritions is rather a slow process. You need something that act on your brain receptors.

  • Also I would try ecstasy just to see if it can help. All the SSRI are sedatives. They are supposed to boost seretonin but the fact is that we end up with the shortage of some neurotransmiters or some of our receptors are not so sensitive as they should be. If the sedative such as SSRI do harm to you, you should try something that act in the opposite way such as stimulants. You can also try to reverse these negative effects of ssri by proper nutrition:B vitamins, tryptophan, tyrosine.
