I was put on Fluvoxamine at 18 for severe depression (100mg if I recall correctly.) No psychotherapy offered. Became a zombie, vivid nightmares. At 21 when I was doing self healing work and therapy I tried Escitalopram. 10mg was helpful, GP decided to up it to 20mg based off a "circle the smiley face" chart results, and the dosage increase made me have suicidal thoughts and messed me up alot. Went back to 10 and it went away. Experimented with Prozac for a short period several years ago for self study and to see if it would help OCD, I found it made it three times worse.
