@NationProtons Firstly, many SSRIs are pretty cheap, like a few bucks for a refill of a generic, even without insurance. But they all are difficult to "titrate up." You'll feel pretty bad the first week or three. Then, while symptoms of depression will abate, you'll also have somewhat less positive affect. Then when you stop, you'll have mood swings that will fuck with your life.
Some people find that the right SSRI or SNRI is really helpful. For me, most of them were frustrating dead ends.
Yeah, this makes me feel like I don't really want to go there. It's frustrating, because it seems like when I follow the routine of a 'normal' person. I tend to get very tired and anxious over time. But If I want to find some routine more suited to myself, it will be practically impossible to survive.
