I’m glad they’re good for you and I can only speak to my fellow vets I know but not one hasn’t had issues and gotten off or killed themselves 100 fucking percent. My wife is a shrink and publicly won’t state it bc of politics but like many other mental health professionals doesn’t like them. I don’t believe they’ve helped more than they’ve hurt they are the most overprescribed drug in the US. Now like you, if you have a legit medical issue a chemical issue I’d say they are great. Veterans don’t come back with chemical imbalances we come back with aggression, trauma, rage , etc. and SSRIs is just the VAs lazy way of trying to suicide us off or dumb us down and if you take an ssri and don’t need it, it fucks you up. You also become dependent on it. I watched a chic at our gym quit Celexa bc she said it made her fat and within 4 months she’d dropped 30 lbs but was miserable, tried to kill her bf and got jail for it she did later. She bonded out he didn’t want her in jail, she bit a chunk out of his trap. Attorney argued the ssri she did 6 months county, came out and she’s 100% fine and preaches against SSRIs but warns people about tapering. The VA also will pull your disability in some cases if they know you don’t take anti-depressants. More keeping a leash on us. It’s all a game of pacifying and control. Again you may actually need yours glad they work for you glad your ok but in general most people that are on them don’t need them and have a litany of issues from it.
