I was on escitalopram for years. Got tired of being fat. Asked for something else. Trintellix wasn’t cutting it. Added buspiron. That stopped my spirals. Still fat, taking 2 pills, buspiron makes me sleepy, and Trintellix is expensive. Enter fluoxitine! We’ll see if it works.
I recently got off it after 7 years and honestly I prefer the sense of despair I have now than what I can only describe as a chemical lobotomy.
Yikes.
Personally, I’d prefer an chemical lobotomy some days. To each their own :)
