What people actually say

“I'm always VERY productive and focused the next day after taking 10mg of Diazepam (Valium) at night. I don't know what's the reason behind it.”

“The only thing that has seemed to help alleviate my symptoms is benzodiazepines like Diazepam (Valium in most countries)”

“unnecessary 4 month taper using valium (my benzo usage wasn’t bad enough to require a taper at that point so it just made me more dependent by tapering for so long)”

“Valium and strong painkillers do the job but I won't take them as they are addictive.”

“Tried Trazodone (gets me 5 to 6 hours) and Valium (gets me 6 hours or more)”

“By far the hardest hitter for me, this could possibly be second to xanax”

“I quit citalopram after 6 years last year with £700 ($1000?)therapy, I'm going on alright, but had some very neurotic days and weeks.”

“After 2 weeks I felt numb and my whole sex drive was gone.”

“I quit taking it after about 25 days because it made me totally numb and lose all pleasure and function, including sexual.”

“I only took them for those 25 days and quit because it made me feel 100% numb with zero emotions or pleasure. Over 6 years later I am still stuck this way.”

“it is much better at relieving anxiety. I lost anxiety I didn't even know I had.”

“I was on it for a week and immediately had insane generalized anxiety/fear/panic a couple days in.”

“I have given very few of them fair trials, as I can't deal with the side effects for that long.”

“it made me totally numb and lose all pleasure and function, including sexual. I couldn't feel emotions or even an orgasm at all.”

“So i take 20mg of celexa with it. Which helps with tiredness”

“ive been battling its side effects for three years now and ive spent countless hours and days doing research on how do i heal myself from the SSRI (citalopram) damage”

“lots of prescription anti-depressants such as prozac, citalopram, seroxat, mirtazapine. The only one that really helped me was mirtazapine”

“the SSRI hasn't changed my sex drive at all”

“I've been on 20mg citalopram for anxiety/depression for a few months, and it hasn't helped my negative thought patterns nearly as much as weed”

“i've found that 10mg of celexa has helped me tremendously”

“In July of 2019 I went on an SSRI antidepressant called Celexa... it made me totally numb and lose all pleasure and function, including sexual.”

“I was taking citalopram for a bit and that was one of the best things I ever could have done.”

“I just incorporated 10k steps a day couple years ago on top of gym... felt like a lil kid inside of me just wanted to explode with energy.”

“Add lots of walking daily (5-10miles), skip one meal and adopt some form of intermittent fasting that you can sustain. This was a game changer for me.”

“what totally changed my recovery was making sure I log 10,000+ steps per day. Sitting on the computer or on couches is horrible for recovery.”

“Walking everyday helps me as well, staying hydrated.”

“Biggest ROI I ever did to see weight loss change is hella walking. 30-60mins a day.”

“and i started walking. like… consistently. morning light, headphones in, pretending i’m the protagonist of a very mediocre indie film. huge boost to recovery.”

“Between first and 2nd pic I made sure to get 10k steps per day during my cut”

“Walked as much as I could (my left leg was almost non function, but I new it would help with the nerve regen)”

“Just losing 30lbs moved me from regular 180-200/90-100 to 140/80”

“staying active, walking regularly and trying to improve my overall health”

“I also started walking about 30 minutes, 5 days a week”

“When I put 3 grams of EPA with it my mental health got even better.”

“I've tried EPA on two separate occasions... I noticed myself feeling more stimulated, irritable, but also a bit moodier and low. When I stopped taking EPA, I felt better”

“once I took a pure EPA supplement, everything changed for me. I felt like my brain reversed aging by 15 years...in weeks”

“Two weeks in and I see a significant improvement in cognition and memory...vision has *slightly* improved”

“DHA doesn't do much for mood. What you would want is an EPA rich formula. Nordic Naturals EPA Xtra or Nutrigold Triple Strength Omega are ones I've found to make a difference”

“L-lysine has worked wonders for me. It only helps if I start taking it right when I feel that slight tingling sensation... I take 2 1000mg tablets 3 times a day for 2-3 days.”

“Arginine/Lysine: Took me out for the afternoon, slept.”
