How is the high of SSRIs.....such as prozac? They are used to treat depression so they must carry some good mood lift and euphoria. They act on serotonin......but unlike xtc they increase the levels of serotonin instead of releasing them all at once. So is the high comparable to that of xtc? Although I have read that it takes weeks of usage for you to actually feel the effects.
it's meant to make you feel the way you already feel right now, because i'm assuming you're not depressed. a depressed person isn't going to take prozac and feel especially happy... they'll just be at the same level as the average person. and no, that doesn't mean if you don't need it it will still raise you up the same amount that it raises up someone who does. and remember that a lot of times depression gets worse before it gets better once you start taking an antidepressant. so you don't want to take them unless you need to, not that it'd do anything anyway unless you took them as prescribed for at least a few weeks. and people on SSRIs actually have weakened effects/no effect at all from mdma. which is one of the big reasons i won't take them. though, i take adderall for depression/add/bipolar/general crazyness and inability to function, and that's actually a lot closer chemically to mdma than SSRI's, and it can get you high. it's a lot different than ecstasy though. haha.
HAHA dude...don't try to get high off of prozac. Once my friend told this guy the crushed up prozac was coke, so he sniffed it and he just started twitching a lot.
Well, you don't get high from SSRIs, a couple of my friends tried eating a bunch of my ex's Prozac, the result was that they felt really shitty, no high whatsoever.
As a note: even for those taking prozac and other SSRIs for depression effects will not manifest for a month or three of taking it every day, until the medication builds in their system to a certain level. Short term they do not raise mood at all. For me: prozac made me feel like a grey flat line. Lovely eh? Improved my depression by turning me into a zombie. Now doesn't that sound fun?
Lmao I'l have an instant prozac n coffee plz. The so called effects of prozac after the magic time period are aliked to havin a hole in your pocket. Dont understand? Then consult a doctor coz if it aint broke then dont fix it.
SSRIs are one of the biggest shams of big pharma. Eli Lilly, Roche, and Phizer have managed to convince millions that depression can be linked to one neurotransmitter, and that by temporarily blocking its metabolism, real happiness will result. bah. I think Servier might be on the right track with Tianeptine, a drug that works by enhancing the metabolism (and in effect, inducing greater neuroplasticity) of serotonin, so a buildup of unmetabolyzed 5HT doesn't interfere with corresponding neurotransmitter systems.
