I’ve never been on antidepressants before. I’ve always just been a little emo sometimes but I always reflect and resolve things as much as I can.

Things happened recently and I was suggested to seek therapy. I was able to get a schedule with my insurance provider for a video therapy next week.

I am interested in taking SSRIs, antidepressants or anti anxiolytics.

Would these meds make me zombie like? Would I still have full range of emotions? Does it feel peaceful? How long do you take it and does it work long term?

Thanks in advance.
