Well shit now I'm anxious again for a whole new reason T_T Hopefully it won't be as bad since my dose is half of what you both have Oh I think you'll be fine and I think that you guys will be on your way to starting your family. That side effect isn't really even all that common from what my doctor explained. As far as your anxiety (ironic eh lol) The way I look at is...well...the alternative is no way to live. Not for you or for your wife and soon your baby. Personally, I was fucking miserable to be around, wasn't working out anymore, wasn't eating, wasn't really even taking care of myself. I was just a living zombie and at one point I was getting to a really, really dark place that I never want to go back to. For me, the side effect is worth it. --- Why do nerds always get caught up on the details?

littlebro07 04/22/22 9:55:46 AM #22:	God damn this nausea sucks Main reason I got on it was my anxiety was getting so bad that I'd be shaking in the mornings and throw up (dry heaves 99% of the time) nearly every day for the past month.

FF_Redux 04/22/22 10:03:10 AM #25:	Took it for almost 2 years. 10mg per day. Tried 15mg but it killed my dick. It was my first and only ssri ive tried and it did help but with a combo of therapy ofc. Been without it November 2020 trying to deal with my shit without it, its easier but its still hard and exhausting. The effects made me less emotionally sensitive, good and bad, I hated that I couldnt really cry anymore when watching sad stuff of shows etc. Changed my sense of taste a bit, gave me extremly vivid crazy nightmares and dreams, lowered my sex drive, made it harder to cum. A positive side effect was it made weed more potent for me, I usually got hallucinations that I loved. --- http://i.imgur.com/hRsG4.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/zZQ38Hb.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Z4cir.gif http://i.imgur.com/qEyGS.gif https://imgur.com/37KDT <cite>FF_Redux posted [p:964482295] in Anyone her...
