Zoloft (SSRI) is The Red Pill?

miss_sogony · 2015-02-10T01:24:23+00:00

I was on Zoloft for months, I felt fucking amazing after a few days. Any pharmacist will tell you it takes many weeks to cause any real effect due to the half life ;) ....no explanations needed there.

You'll see the usual shit around the internet about depression "you can't JUST GET OVER IT" "that's so INSENSITIVE"...like it's some sort of disease or genetic condition, funny how people who feel like shit would be attracted to being told they're special?....low social contact, no goals in life. Just more of the SJW bullshit imperative that merely hurts "victims" of despression in the long run.

The drugs don't work, they nuked my sex drive, and I haven't felt as clear headed in my life, puts a lot into perspective, I mean A LOT....I was already swallowing the proverbial pill but it certainly sped up the whole process...not just women or game, not even close, but being a fucking man and the constant bullshit around us is finally visible, you don't need to prove it to everyone, the bullshit, fuck unplugging others, not worth it.

. Depression is a complete mystery to even the most qualified and part of my pill swallowing, was ironically getting off that shit. I'm no scientologist, but those pills only masked things that you have to come to terms with, simply talking about how you feel is proven to be far better medication. It's a big pink elephant and there are many campaigns to get young men, the depression demographic, the care they need. Sadly its 'the blue pill'

This might be the most blue pill post I've read since I've subscribed to this sub. What you are describing is exactly what the red pill isn't.

Oh man all of the anti-anti-depressant comments are so amusing to me. Sure random people shouldn't try to take them, but saying that anyone who takes them isn't rp is such a pitfall. I've dealt with chronic, genetic depression for at least 6 years. I try to make the best of it, lift, make friends, go out. But at some point 'manning up' and not 'being a pussy' is just bullshit advice from people who know nothing about actual depression.

When I say no offense, I truly do not mean to offend anybody with depression and serious psychological problems that cause them to take any type of medicine; however, the business of big pharmaceuticals is most certainly a business wherein profit is God. Keeping you addicted is a business model. After taking the RP, I'm hyper aware of when I'm being taken advantage of, and it gives me resolve to resist the easy-out pharmaceuticals offer, not that I'm depressed anyway. In fact, I decline the use of any pharmaceuticals because you really can't trust them to have your interests in mind.

The first 1-2 Months of being on Zoloft I felt as if i was untouchable. I was on top of the world and I didn't have a care in the world for anyone but myself, and my own needs/wants. I became more rational, confident, happy.

This is why certain drugs can be extremely dangerous, unless there is a valid medical reason for taking them. The user is not actually ontop of the world and more rational, he just thinks he is.

Benzidrine was originally used by the military for WW2 pilots, it prevented them from feeling tired and it gave them the sensation of being focused. Unfortunately it was an illusion. Amphetamine is a derivative of Benzidrine.

Many of the friendly fire incidents that happened in Iraq and Afghanistan where caused by pilots being given performance enhancing drugs.

If a medical doctor has adviced you to take Zoloft and he is monitoring it, no problem. Antidepressants are a life saver for people who need them. But for regular people it is dangerous advice.

NOO no no no no

SSRI's are poison. It's the blue-pill: addictive, destroys emotional balance and disrupts many people to the point of murder-suicide.

http://www.ssristories.com/index.php

SSRI's & benzodiazepines are solid blue-pill, plugged-in-forever, Matrix-slavery.

Submit to this and you are finished.

If there's any red pill that's pharmaceutical it's morphine. And literally the 200 mg pills are red.

I did it for 10 years. It's a hard journey that will kill most. I do not recommend but it worked for me.

The use of morphine allows you strength from denying pain at the physical, neurotransmitter level so you can lift more, work harder, fuck longer and I'm talking 12 hour sex marathons. It turns off your emotions if you hit the right amount not to doze off and still enough to "get high".

It has serious consequences: you can't mix alcohol with it or you'll overdose very easily. The liver can only work effectively on one or the other, not both. Same with a ton of shit & alcohol, actually.

When physical addiction kicks in from taking no breaks between uses, and breaks must be at least 2 weeks long and eventually longer or you're hooked, you will vomit, lose sleep, get shakes and chills, all from not taking it. A general "pain" you can't put your finger on will take your entire body: this is the over-stimulation of your brain's neurons for handling pain since morphine is a pain-killer. Like holding a weight up for several minutes, removing it and then holding your arm up again your muscles have a memory, reflex, to push up harder. The morphine does the same thing: take it away and your brain expects removal of pain from it, yet...

there is no morphine. So now you "feel" pain at every source but not like it's real, like it's the ghost of pain.

Emotions may turn back on and strong at that time. For many this is true. For a while it was true for me.

Then when I finally broke the addiction, which took 6 years, the emotions turned off and stayed off. The ability to see the truth of the world unclouded by emotions of any sort was the true red pill for me, although life experience had guided me to it all along since 1993 or so. Emotions always get in the way if they stay on. By letting them turn on as a guide & in a few seconds shutting them down immediately they serve their true survival purpose as a warning system and not left to go haywire, which is what most humans are programmed to be by nature.

Morphine changed that wiring so it doesn't work anymore, not for me.

That's my red pill, no SSRI's.

By the way: what usually kills the morphine addicts is injecting with disease-ridden needles or seeking a high they can never return to by increasing dose until it shuts down your lungs and heart. Also since appetite is reduced if you seriously stop eating because you don't force yourself to eat when you know you must be missing nutrients you can starve yourself to death.

Drugs are mind altering (duh), in a good or bad way depends on the result. SSRI are literally the shittiest drug you could ever take and are made for pussies that can't handle life. If you want a real TRP experience, trip on shrooms, acid or molly and see the real true beyond just girls. Although if you got to the point were you thought it was a good idea to take SSRIs for depression, you probably won't handle it well and have a bad trip.

Like many men in the west i think we've brainwashed to believe that our self worth is based on women. Most of us have been raised by single mothers so we're looking for that in the outside world so that we can get the same love we got from mothers but that is just unrealistic and a complete fallacy because on the other side you have women who've been raised by a single mother (generally speaking) angry at her dad for leaving the family. These girls grew up hating men, the same way they hate their fathers for leaving mothers so they exhibit hateful behavior towards their future partners.

No. It's the opposite. SSRI's are the opposite of taking control of your life. Rather, they get you to not care as much about the things in your life that you know you should change but are too much of a pussy to change.

hamsterbator · 2015-02-10T02:20:51+00:00

I prescribe this shit because people come to you demanding a quick fix. But I don't believe in it and I wouldn't recommend it.

Remember, depression is cyclical. Most people recover after a few weeks. Just like people recover from a viral bronchitis and attribute it to the antibiotics they got... did your depression get better because of the zoloft or did you have a manic recovery period and you were going to get better anyway?

The data behind SSRIs to me is murky at best.

Placebo effect is very real. But so are the limp dick side effects. Use as a last resort if you are someone afraid to get out of bed in the morning and absolutely can't function. Otherwise hit the gym, make some friends, work hard on self-improvement.

NeoreactionSafe · 2015-02-10T04:20:40+00:00

Red Pill is about growing into manhood.

Men love women, women love children, children love puppies.

Boys look up to mothers. Women look up to men.

Men must never look up to women. (but honor your father and mother)

Alpha is the end result of years of masculine success... it's not a feeling.

MGTOW in Monk Mode is to be an "individual" which also means "idiot" so do not spend your life as an idiot. (but it's better to be an idiot than a boy in a man's body)

Drugs have little to do with Red Pill as a science.

king_of_red_alphas · 2015-02-10T18:58:03+00:00

Wow. A lot of MD's on TRP that seem to know everything about depression and SSRI's.

Lol @ people using SSRI's recreationally. They are therapeutic drugs that take weeks or more to do anything.

I guess people with any mental illness just need to "man up and lift"?

When you can do nothing other than cower under the sheets or stare blankly at the wall for hours on end, it's kind of hard to take the steps to make the fundamental lifestyle changes required to "shake it off".

It's still amazing to me that people understand the reality of a physical illness yet believe mental illness to be some kind of conspiracy.

Physiology / brain chemistry is going to have variance and some people will have "happy" dispositions by nature while others may be despondent despite their best efforts. To claim that the happy people somehow "red pulled" their way to happiness is silly.

Sure, mental illness poorly understood - but when so many people would rather off themselves than living with the effects of mental illness you'd think it would make it pretty obvious something real is going on.

I don't know when I'll get another chance to post this.

I've never tried Zoloft, but drugs can be a great tool to develop insight if you approach them honestly. They can also be used as a crutch, but anyone who says 'drugs are for pussys' is an imbecile and belongs with the children, not the men.
