About two weeks ago I was prescribed an SSRI called vortioxetine. I've heard it's normally used to treat MDD, but I'm confident I don't have MDD. Rather, I'm pretty sure I have GAD, and I don't feel like this SSRI has been helpful for my anxiety.
I even at first tried to renew the prescription, but the pharmacy said they wouldn't refill prescriptions from that particular walk-in clinic because that clinic requested not to accept refills from anyone other than patients. This means I'd need to go to that clinic every month if I want to keep up with that prescription. Screw that, sounds like too much work. I barely have enough energy to go to the clinic again, I barely even have enough energy to go back to work next week.
I've just been wasting my time. My self-loathing and anxiety haven't improved one bit throughout this whole ordeal. You know what would "fix" me? Someone actually caring about me and my wellbeing, but apparently that's like asking for a unicorn because I'm just that unlovable. A pill won't fix that.
Sorry to end that on a down note in recovery, I'm hoping that I can at least get enjoyment out of things again once I quit this SSRI. The lack of sexual feeling and nausea / inability to enjoy food is not worth it.
