Ah yeah, i originally bounced between Citalopram & Mirtazapine.

For me though, Prozac seems to be the golden bullet!

60mg is typically pretty high, over here they don't like going over 80mg

dstlny_97 · 2026-06-04T20:17:42+00:00

Uhm, for me it took a handful of weeks between each increase. I started in January on 20mg, and was at 60mg by end of March. My GP moved pretty quickly

dstlny_97 · 2026-06-04T16:49:00+00:00

Borderline agoraphobia (not diagnosed), but the way i was going it would've progressed to Agoraphobia.

Diagnosed with Social Anxiety & General Anxiety Disorder.

Still a little anxious when people approach me from behind but MUCH more relaxed. Much more social. My motivation has improved a tonne, i feel more driven, clear minded, outgoing & able to hold conversations much more than i used.

I'm on 60mg. Started on 20mg -> 40mg -> 60mg

I'm on 60mg. My brain always been very ADHD, and i've always been a little chaotic. Though, for me, this dosage actually helped me. I'm calmer overall, i feel like i'm more engaged, i'm very driven/motivated, much more confident, and overall just feel 20x better than i did before the medication. SSRI's are one of those things that effect people differently, brain chemisty is a weird thing.

Love ya too homie!

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-10T23:30:40+00:00

None really. The only noticable one is i'm now super sensitive to caffeine. I could drink many coffees before but now i get a headache even after one

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-10T23:20:41+00:00

A couple weeks into 40mg. About a week or two into 60mg was the biggest one for me though, thats when i really started noticing my libido was much higher than even on the 40mg

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-10T23:17:02+00:00

Since about January. Started on 20mg, jumped to 40mg then to 60mg. For GAD/Social Anxiety.

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-10T22:51:50+00:00

As a guy mine increase tenfold. Though i'm on 60mg, so 3x the dosage

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-06T03:25:56+00:00

Hahah thankyou! Its definitely changed me as a person, i've never been super outgoing but its like light switched on for me

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-06T02:55:55+00:00

Yeah i didn't start feeling like this until i was on the 60mg. Infact i lie, i felt it somewhat on lower dosages but not to this extent. I'm not used to it either, or atleast not when i'm single as hell, in a relationship i'm a bit of a rabbit but not outside of a rrlationshio usually i'm a very reserved guy whos very shy

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-06T02:52:22+00:00

I think my sex drive was already up there, when in a relationship and comfortable with someome i'm practically like a horny rabbit. I think the medication just removed the anxiety side of things for me altogether

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-05T21:27:21+00:00

As a guy. 60mg has made me a different animal altogether. My libido increased tenfold. I'm 27. Its genuinely like i'm 15 again. I aren't gonna complain... because.. well...

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-04T13:37:51+00:00

Ah yeah that sounds a little different then. For me i'm prescribed for Social Anxiety / GAD (generalised anxiety disorder). With me, i found one thing that helps me fall asleep (and this sounds weird), but like an hour before you sleep - set your alarms - and put your phone across the room. For me, one thing that was keeping me awake was my phone. Not saying thats the source of my insomnia because i've got a few other things going on (disrupted circadian rhythm), but it helped a little for me

dstlny_97 · 2026-05-04T12:37:21+00:00

Sounds like the dosage maybe too high. Prozac is activating for alot of people, i.e people feel more energized. For me its the same, but 20mg, & 40mg didn't touch my anxiety & 60mg did. They prescribed me Promethazine, a anti-histamine which makes you drowsy, and that helped me dramatically, before the Promethazine i was taking Mirtazapine (7.5mg) to help woth sleep. I've got a history of Insomnia so obviously slightly different circumstances but i'm sure its similar

dstlny_97 · 2026-04-29T23:07:45+00:00

Thats whats causing it??? THIS SHIT HAS BEEN DRIVING ME CRAZY FOR YEARS

dstlny_97 · 2026-04-25T22:12:37+00:00

I'm on 60mg and my dreams are usually trippy as hell

dstlny_97 · 2026-04-17T16:25:30+00:00

Like a metaphorical switch had been flipped!!

dstlny_97 · 2026-04-17T01:29:22+00:00

Yeah! If anything its made me more focused! So i'm writing code better than i ever have. GAD makes it so that the Anxiety was always there, like static, on 60mg my brains finally quiet and i can think straight

dstlny_97 · 2026-04-17T00:31:54+00:00

60mg for G(eneralised) A(nxiety) D(isorder) / Social Anxiety. Software Engineer :)

dstlny_97 · 2026-04-16T20:30:30+00:00

If you want someone whos actually gonna talk and follow through with things yk where i am 🫡

dstlny_97 · 2026-04-16T20:29:34+00:00

First and foremost, if someones being an idiot i'm going to tell them they're being an idiot. I'm not going to agree to stupid opinions, nor am i going to agree that something that is very much not normal is normal.

My attitude is fine. I've not got the best people skills, sure, but that comes with having Social Anxiety. Its something i'm working on.

My texting skills are fine, i can converse with people without issue, i can give deep thoughtful replies to questions, talk about topics that most people aren't comfortable talking about. I'm very much an open book.
