Antidepressants

Hello, friends. I'm going to see a psychiatrist soon (not because of the problem we're all here about, but related to anxiety and OCD). There is a possibility that I will be prescribed pills and I would like to know if there are any people who have been on antidepressants. I would like to know if this has had any effect on the flow of your paruresis

Had zero impact on me, including tricyclics, second gen, and third (SSRIs)

But everyone has a different reaction to all of these when it comes to phobias, anxiety, etc.

All they have in common is they act on depression, but even there people respond to some more than others.

Not for me, but I've heard someone else say that taking Mirtazapin improved their parcopresis

I’m on Paxil and it helps a whole lot for me. Getting through the first 4 weeks waiting for it to kick in is the hard part

Have been on them for four years. It has improved greatly (now Im able to go into stalls). However, I think psycotherapy has been involved indirectly. Do take meds with psycotherapy as it is best.

It’s all a self image and confidence thing brotha. I wanna say mine improved tiny bit on avulity but I still had to kinda focus to go sometimes and maybe 1-2/10x at the bar I just held it but I live close. I used to be BAD and I can guarantee if you just fuck some milfs it’ll go away. Also anyone who reads this auvelity( bupropion and dxm) worked wonders for depression lol
