I know this sub is generally anti-SSRI and understandably so, but some do have a positive response from it and I'm just wondering since prozac tends to be the most energizing/stimulating SSRI and has 5ht2c antagonism, if it helped anyone here with avolition/anhedonia?
Anyone takes this for depression and just rawdogging their OCD?
Am I the only one? If not, does that mean taking it before bed reduces it's effectiveness? I take it after waking up, but wondering since if I take it late, I feel irritable and anxious but then feel alright an hour or two after taking it. I don't feel any other withdrawals like brain zaps, etc. It's probably psychosomatic for me
Before starting, when I'm distressed and angry, I would start walking and pacing very fast with my heart pumping and sweating, along with other physical anxiety symptoms. Since starting that has reduced a lot and when I do have psychomotor agitation, physical anxiety is less and the pacing is probably a little slower?
Since this is my first SSRI, I am just wondering for some of the people here have other SSRIs helped in this regard before switching to viibryd? And does viibryd also help you in this regard?
If so, what dosage? I hear anecdotes about it causing/worsening anhedonia, so I worry about that. But some studies/evidence shows it to be anti-anhedonia, rather than causing, in addition to helping negative symptoms of schizophrenia, which includes anhedonia and avolition
I started with 1600mg of NAC and recently upped to 2400mg. I worry about the anhedonia risk or if it is even helpful for OCD, especially OCD that is more related to obsessions rather than compulsions. I guess my worry is part of my health anxiety/OCD lol 😅 I wonder if I should stop or continue or just drop back to 1600mg or even 800mg until the bottle finishes (it's 1600mg per serving, 2 capsules, so a capsule is 800mg)
Sorry, idk if I asked this before on this sub, recently mass deleted my posts and comments, so I don't remember
Just wondering how much stuff there is do in Mitchell as a resident? I live in a metro Detroit suburb and suburbia is pretty bad for my mental health and depression, but of course there's other factors in regard to that. So, just wondering how much stuff their is to do there, besides bars or something lol. Also, any recommendations for good apartments?
Blunting and anhedonic effects of SSRIs is theorized to be from activation of the 5ht2c receptor, so wondering how significant the 5ht2c antagonism is from prozac and if it's actually dopaminergic and helps with anhedonia?

Usually people don't get viibryd as their first ssri so I'm just wondering for those who did, did you eventually switch to another?
I got diagnosed with ocd after already starting viibryd and since it's not been any research or studies on it for ocd, I'm wondering if I should switch. If I do switch, I'd be hoping for an ssri that's the most calming, but idk which one that is and everyone individually responds differently to SSRIs.
I do like viibryd, helped me much more than clonidine for physical anxiety/racing heart/palpitations. I also worry about losing out on the 5ht1a partial agonism. Idk, starting on viibryd then switching to a more typical ssri feels like such a downgrade

Yesterday increased my viibryd over the fda max dosage of 40mg to 50mg. Anyone else on viibryd, does it help with ocd? Has 40mg helped you or did you have to above that?
I started viibryd b4 getting diagnosed with ocd
