I think your referencing the emotional states not the actual medical condition.
Bless your soul. I hope you never experience it and maintain this level of cocksure your entire life.
I mean that sincerely.

My cock will stay sure, don’t you worry! I am sympathetic towards adults who lead fulfilling lives but have a genuine chemical imbalance.
But if you’re trying to get an 18 year old zoomer to take school shooter drugs while knowing nothing about his background you are not one of the “good guys”
The only difference is ssri has to be the safest drug on the planet and makes you literally smarter (neurogenesis). Adderall does the opposite, its neurotoxic as fuck, makes you dumber and is simply a trade with the devil "give me the energy im supposed to have tommorow"
"Respect the drug" means shit. That applies to everything. You can use heroin once a week. Jusy as much as you can use benzos once a week. Adderall doesnt belong to the family you take once in a blue moon (like psychedelics for ex). Most adderall users takes it everyday, chase the high and end up taking more.
Adderall isnt a tool. Modafinil could apply to this definition. Adderall doesnt belong in a stack to make your life better over time. Certains SSRI and other AD can (agomelatine, vortioxetine) and even certain nootropics could work aswell (bromantane share certain feature even if it doesnt have the punch adderall has, its more versatile, modafinil is fine aswell).

Was on Lexapro years ago. That shit makes your dick not work and almost impossible to orgasm. That alone made depression & anxiety worse. And that was reason enough to end my experience with SSRI's. Lifestyle changes were what ended up being the most beneficial.
Like another user mentioned. I do believe that both depression & anxiety are over-diagnosed in todays day & age. Millennial here. So I think I can say that. The youth now want a quick fix medication for everything in life. When results aren't immediate they throw more pharma at themselves. Its a never-ending spiral. Tell a physician that you are depressed/anxious and boom....now you've got a script. Its stupid how freely these meds are handed out.

The delivery here is a bit rough, but the substance is spot on. If you were to do a deep dive on antidepressant medications you will find that Tom Cruise was correct in that antidepressants are inferior to exercise for treatment of mild to moderate depression. While antidepressants do improve severe depression, they only do so to the point where the symptoms remain moderate and you still have lots of symptoms left to treat. Antidepressants have solid data for treatment of anxiety / OCD / panic disorder, but they are not without side effects. Depending upon how severe your symptoms are, they can be helpful to get you out of a hole but not a great idea to be on long term. Life is hard, downright cruel at times. But humanity existed and soldiered on for a very long time prior to the development of these chemicals. What will take your further in life is building up solid relationships with people you can lean on when in your darkest hour. Self reliance is critical, but speaking strictly in terms of evolution, humans are social creatures. Infants can die from emotional neglect. So, it's a combination of building yourself up but also being able to build friendships (only need one or a few) that will last you a lifetime. I've known a lot of "tough guys" who ended up taking their own lives. They were suffering, they had lots of demons, but they also refused to ask for help.

Can relate. I saw a therapist at 18. Fuckin guy wanted to put me on anti-depressants within an hour of knowing me. I got spooked and never went back. My problem was that I was in an extremely toxic relationship. No amount of drugs thrown at my brain would’ve changed that reality. I changed my situation and my life improved dramatically.
A lot of women in perimenopause get put on these drugs too, when what they really need is HRT.
This is where I don’t agree with you
Antidepressant meds can cause lots of issues and for the most part it has nothing to do with playing with serotonin adderall can boost all neurological hormones at once and provide amazing sharp “alpha” feeling especially for someone who is anxious and depressed..
Im sorry but you are wrong as I stated before I used personally most of the current meds in the market adderall isn’t a med that you should take all the time

I would not recommend using adderall at all the come down can cause bad depression in itself that shit gets you high as a kit if you dont need it its slippery slope. also ssri i would not recommend. Could be low in vitamin d, get blood work and see if youre low in anything and start there.

Yes I second this. do not try adderall or any stimulants to mask the anxiety/depression.
I recently took my old adhd meds for a week.
It masked all my feelings. But lemme tell ya. The moment I stopped… the anxiety, over thinking, mind racing was even worse.
Had some fun thoughts of an impending doom. That made me panic and freak out lol.

yeah self medicating with adderall, oxy, shit like that is the worst idea. I did this to deal with depression for years and ended up in rehab. I hate these drugs now I think they are way over prescribed these days everyone is on adderall.

Yeah. Was super easy to get scripts. You used to be able to do it on tele health, just say you had “X” symptoms of adhd and they’d prescribe it all day long.
I actually have adhd. But anyone could get it.
Not sure if it’s nation wide or just my state. But now in 2025.
I have to get re-evaluated by a psych, drug tested multiple times, seen by a doctor every 60 days. All just to get a script and keep one.
I can feel the vibe from your comment a triggered unstable etc..
I’ll continue what’s best for me and will always recommend what I think best.
See the difference? Im calm my comments/replies are respectful and straight to the point while you are most definitely unstable

thankfully I didn't have this side effect. It actually helped me last 3 mins instead of 1 lol.

Believe it or not SSRI’s are part of the adult film star cocktail. Test, HCG, viagra / cialis, and SSRI of choice (to delay the finish).

I think the politicisation of SSRIs and testosterone is some of the most retarded shit I've seen.
For example a lot of right wing "cookers" could use an SSRI to reduce their anxiety induced anti government rhetoric lol
Same with the whole men have low testosterone and that's why we have transgender people argument. If anything having higher levels of testosterone will exacerbate your tendency to be a sexual deviant.
Back to the SSRI. The issue is people get attention when they are depressed, therefore it can sometimes give a positive reinforcement. But how many dudes in their 30s-50s have to commit suicide before we realise being a "hard arse" just doesn't work when dealing with complex relationship issues.
I don't really want to argue with anyone on the topic. I am so glad there are confident and cocksure men out there who laugh this stuff off. However mental health issues can effect anyone. I'd rather not go through shit like this (divorce, death of a parent) without some kind of medication to help me keep going.
On the other end of the spectrum there are people who find basic tasks hard to do. Maybe what people need to realise is the brain is an organ and can experience dysfunction and disease like the rest of the body. Which means people with bad genes or bad luck are more likely to have an unlucky time with mental health. Hard drugs and lifestyle choices play a part. But sometimes shit just happens too.
Anyway that's my 5 cents. Thanks for reading it.

The chemical imbalance theory is not really spot on. I see these drugs as a band-aid for people who can't manage a normal life without them.
It makes them functional but not exceptional.
I don't think the term school shooter drugs is helpful. But I suppose I could call AIs anti cancer drugs and testosterone a dangerous drug too.
I think making political points about drugs is kind of silly. But I'm getting old and tired.
