“Depression is linked to overly rigid brain circuits that resist change, and by softening these circuits and altering how their mitochondria function, fluoxetine may create a window of plasticity or flexibility in the brain. #DNA #ISOGG #Prozac #brain #geneadons #cognitive #Epigenetics

Antidepressant Fluoxetine Promotes Brain Plasticity in Key Cells, Reshaping Their Energy Systems

A new study shows that the antidepressant fluoxetine does more than boost serotonin levels: it changes how brain cells manage their energy and rebuild their connections, potentially helping the brain “loosen up” and adapt during depression treatment.

Da decenni il Prozac, nome commerciale della fluoxetina, è uno degli antidepressivi più utilizzati al mondo. Appartenente alla classe degli inibitori selettivi
Prozac e cervello: come il farmaco potrebbe allentare i circuiti neurali rigidi

Nuove ricerche suggeriscono che il Prozac, oltre ad agire sulla serotonina, possa riprogrammare i circuiti neurali rigidi, aprendo a prospettive inedite per la salute mentale.

Gilles Lipovetsky: “Si quiere vivir mejor, enamórese, tome Prozac, no busque en la filosofía”

Trying to cum on SSRIs


#garfield #ssris #lexapro #paxil #prozac

#doxepin was bad. Made me feel like crap, slowed me down. After 3 weeks just had to stop it.

That pales in comparison to #mirtazapine. It turned me into a drooling incomprehensible unable-to-think zombie. Horrendous. Really really bad on every level.

#venlafaxine is fine, as was #prozac. Amitryp was ugh, Lithium made me ill, Valproate made me huge.

YMMV

Punky-Poney vit sous Prozak depuis qu'il s'est fait courser par un yorkshire. Ca reste pour lui un événement traumatisant: le chien poussait des cris stridents, s'agitait en tous sens, sentait fort la vieille crotte et n'écoutait pas les appels de sa maîtresse "Bichon, arrête ! Bichon, arrête ! Bichon ! Bichon, pan-pan-cul-cul !".

So #DemoTheCat had a big day today. He got super high. He bit his vet. He isn't even sorry.

A bit of background - he HATES this vet. Always has. Loves people, but not this vet. So he got the GOOD drugs - Gabapentin on top of his usual #Prozac. It wasn't enough.

He was his usual charming self, up until the moment he'd had enough. His vet was gracious, and my wife (who bit nobody) apologized.

Now my fierce little warrior gets a stoned victory nap.

RFK Jr. Is Already Taking Aim at Antidepressants
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/kennedy-rfk-antidepressants-ssri-school-shootings/

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has been planted by Trump in the role of Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

He wants to slash scientifically-established medication, hospital treatment, financial benefits, and government programs for people with these conditions:
- Chronic illness.
- Autism.
- ADHD, and medication including Adderall and Ritalin.
- Asthma.
- Obesity.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Psoriasis.
- Mental illness such as depression and anxiety, and SSRI medication including Prozac and Zoloft.

RFK Jr says wants people who live with chronic illness such as those listed above — who often require daily preventative medication, a professional carer/assistant, or an assistive device for their daily functioning and to maintain their quality of life and sense of dignity and autonomy — to be stripped of their treatment and put into in "Wellness Farms" for "three or four years if they need it".

This is the sort of inhumane mistreatment of people requiring medical care that happened in the USSR and still goes on today in North Korea. It should not happen in the USA.

This move by RFK Jr is going to destroy childhoods, ruin families, cause people financial ruin, and for some people it will cost them their life.

RFK Jr. is already taking aim at antidepressants

The new HHS secretary has made baseless claims that the drugs are addictive and cause violent behavior.
