I know it's not a good thread for this kind of question but I can't post in "Off Topic".
I got diagnosed with depressive anxiety disorder(f41.2) and got prescribed paroxetine 6 days ago.
I'm interested in your opinions on it.
Even though the medication is supposed to take around 3-4 weeks for the effects to start working, I'm already experiencing the side effect of low libido and inability to cum(alongside mild nausea and such, which is normal), which is not a huge problem right now as I don't have a girlfriend nor do I frequently approach girls(in fact I have never approached a girl in my entire life).
I'm gonna be needing to take this medication for 6 months at least. Honestly I see the inability to cum as an upside in terms of stopping me from masturbation but obviously I will research more on the long term effects.
I also have mild high functioning autism, with an IQ of around 130. So while I'm not stupid, conversations with girls and the social dynamics in general are in some part unintuitive to me, so in that sense the medication would likely help me a lot in approaching girls.
Anyways, I'm interested in your experiences and general thoughts on antidepressants.
