I started an antidepressant treatment for my generalized anxiety disorder and it’s been life changing! It’s only been a week and I already feel so much better, any other fish in the same bowl? 😏

I went to a primary care physician after 9 months of therapy. They did some tests, asked some questions and prescribed them for me. It takes over a month to fully kick in but it works really well for me. Just trying to get passed the stigma that held me back and encourage others to do the same

I’m on Celexa, honestly I was scared as well. I’m on half dose for the first week, full 20 mg starting week two. I took a two week vacation from work and went home to be with family and I’d highly recommend that, those pills are pretty powerful mind/body altering pills. They have pretty hardcore side effects that are tough to get through but once you do the results are amazing. The background rumination of thoughts become dull/quiet/don’t matter as much, sleep feels better, you have more energy, and you enjoy things a bit more

I didn’t have any side effects when I started celexa. It messes with my sleep a bit now though. I just increased to 40 mg to help with the obsessive thoughts

What do you have to do

What one are you trying? I have the prescription but so scared to try it

2 days in and already feel a lot better. Only 10mg but positive impact right away

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction.

You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes?
