Why are my antidepressants not working anymore

[ColdPillow]

I have no motivation to even eat food. It’s been about 3 months on 10mg SSRI’s and I feel worse than before.

I stopped intaking caffeine these past few days, maybe that’s it?

I feel so fucking shitty rn. I have been in bed for a couple days now. Only get up to shit and piss and get food from the door for delivery.

10mg sounds like too little, you should up the dose gradually until you hit... well, for me it was 20

It's the caffein.

Studies have demonstrated that people who take in a minimum of 100 mg of caffeine per day (about the amount in one cup of coffee) can acquire a physical dependence that would trigger withdrawal symptoms that include headaches, muscle pain and stiffness, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, depressed mood, and marked irritability.

OT: I recommend green tea btw. It doesn't adress pathological symptoms obviously, but I feel there are less downs over the day and you need to drink much less of it therefore. I only sometimes drink one small coffee (125ml) in the morning or a cappuchino in the afternoon for the taste.

The only thing it's doing is giving you gynecomastea and chemically castrating you.

Damn, thank you for taking the time to research that. I will drink an energy drink and see if I feel better

I’m seeing a psychiatrist in a couple days. I will ask about a higher dose

Thank you guys so much. As soon as I had a redbull I felt alive again.

Its because you swallowed the blackpill you see the world as how it really is. Once you go black you never go back (nohomo).
