Welcome to our community of support for those coping with mental health challenges. Many of us take antidepressants prescribed by doctors to help manage conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and panic disorder. This is a space to share experiences, find information, ask questions, and encourage one another.

Professional medical advice is irreplaceable. Consult your physician before making any changes to medication routines. Improper antidepressant use can be dangerous. We are here to support you on your journey toward mental wellness, not replace doctors.

Have you tried ADHD medications as an alternative to dopamine reuptake inhibitors? (self.antidepressants)

I want to switch up Zoloft for another ssri, but they often dulls myself in a way I can't act spontaneously and become more like unintrested which Zoloft is free of. I tend to associate this phenomena with Zoloft's weak activity as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. And since wellbutrin is illegal in my state, I can't have it (as well as adderall, ritalin)

What I do have are atomoxetine, phenylpiracetam

I assume you're in Eastern Europe from what meds are banned?

I've read about tianeptine or bromantane being used instead of DRIs, but I don't have any personal experience.

Another option if it's available are MAOI like tranylcypromine or phenelzine. I had some anti-ADHD effects from those.

Yes, and MAOIs are also banned
