      @@djsaintmusic7819 Hey, I'm 18 now and was about 16 when I wrote this. To answer your question--from what I remember Prozac essentially worsened my moods and made my disordered eating even worse. Every time I ate, I would be so unbearably nauseous and it never went away unless I threw up. It was even at a point where I would gag when there was nothing on my stomach but I couldn't bear eating. As for the aftermath, I constantly felt hyper emotional, my anxiety was worse. However, this was really no different than how it was before I started taking it. Anyway, 2 years later I still struggle with depressive episodes due to PMDD, however I am a lot better off. I hope you're ok these days, that you keep going, and that your bad moments pass & you come out happier. Sorry for the cliche :)

    Hi all so I got told by my physiatrist that I need something different for my depression and anxiety/panic attacks as i've been on around 10 or 11 different 1s in different classes etc since I was 18 im now 44 , so he has said try this med, I asked him if it has sexual side effects he said no in fact it has been documented that it increases your libido, and it's great for depression, (apparently i'm not Bipolar?) and i know I don't have schizophrenia also he said it helps with anxiety, sleep and no weight gain, I've been reading up on this med and watching youtube and it's all conflicting some say their sex drive goes through the roof others say it kills it, the same for depression, anxiety, panic saying it's better than any antidepressant and anxiety meds, and others saying putting on weight is too much but for some it decreases their appetite then the same for sleep, I don't want insomnia or any of the crappy side effects, I read agitation too, but how can you be agitated if it relaxes you, really confused now, would love to hear rom people that are on it or have been on it, hopefully no scare stories, cheers in advance.

    Insightful video.
    I am on the autistic spectrum, which i found out recently. Been depressed for years, more recently suicidal and edgy/angry. Been on SSRI sertraline for two/ three years. gone off that and onto prozac these past few months (a bit better) had to go down to 20 mg as it was helpful at first (originally on 60mg) but now kinda shit ( going off Setraline might be why i felt better, not the prozac)
    My psychiatrist did suggest i could take Abilify, as small amounts of it to treat autism, specifically issues around anxiety and anger/agitation, seems to work quite well, according to studies. The dosage is lower then what is typically given to Bi polar / schizophrenic patients.
    For me, it sounds like my last hope, but the drug scares me. I might go of meds completely first, then see how i am, and if im bad THEN il go on abilify. Perhaps i don't need to fear the drug's side effects as much, if its a small dosage? i might ask my psychiatrist to give me a really small amount first, like literally 1mg or something, idk.
    any other autists out there on Abilify?

    I used Abilify for about 5 years for Tourette's syndrome and it helped at first, but at a later age I realized that it caused a sexual disorder that I can't have almost any kind of orgasm. I haven't had an orgasm in many years, even though I'm no longer on that terrible drug. Sometimes it was difficult to understand speech and other problems, such as fatigue, pretty serious gambling addiction and I was child (19 now). I'm definitely not the only victim of the drugs.
