Talk to your psychiatrist, there are other meds you can try. Sometimes there’s meds to make the side effects less strong, or gone completely. But talk to your doc, be specific with what you don’t like and why. You have a valid concern. I had to go through too many meds because they would just kill my libido, and I’m not ok with that. So proud of you for taking care of your health, love!
I already have an appointment scheduled for Tuesday, but thank you!! I was complaining mostly as a joke but it’s definitely been weird, I’ve also had on-and-off mild tinnitus which I was unaware could be called by antidepressants 🥲 this particular side effect is just easier to joke about
Both things can be true at the same time. I feel like I’m being chemically castrated when they mess with it, which has it’s own psychological issues, so we tried a bunch of stuff. In the end, I found one that worked and left my hormones alone, but after about 2 years of use it started making me fall asleep everywhere, including once while driving. Getting off it was “fun” with very vivid and gory nightmares every. fucking. night.
