I've taken SSRI's since I was 18 years old! I'm going to be 30 in Dec!
I used to be really quiet and socially anxious. It was really affecting my life. Now I'm more social. I like being around my friend at work. Also I think I'm a really cheerful person now.
I would say that my default mood on a scale of 1 to 10 is 7, with 10 being the happiest. The anxiety has been replaced with happiness!
I'm been on SSRI's for so long that I'm sure they have changed me. My brain was still developing when I was taking them. I've read that the brain doesn't finish developing until 25 years old. For me I think results have been good. I tend to laugh and smile a lot now.

Deneb,
Happy to hear it!
By the way, which SSRI's have you been on?
Thanks!

I've been on Zoloft previously. Now I'm on Celexa and Prozac. The Prozac has really helped me beat my bulimia too.

Deneb,
May I ask how much of each you are on? Do you remember how long it took for them to really work?
I'm looking for a new AD. I tried celex and prozac but probably too low and for too short a time?
Thanks!
Laney

> Laney60mg Prozac, 30mg Celexa. I don't know how long it took. The change was extremely gradual.
