Ask HN: Do You Take SSRIs?
And did they help you?
Sometimes I think that quite a lot of people take some kind of medicaments, SSRI, Benzo, and other stuff. Nobody tells this, but in fact I heard that X millions of ADs are sold per year or so in Russia (where I live).
So I'm curious, if half of people I know takes them :)

- navjack27 5y agoI don't take any ssris or any antidepressants but I take 30 mg of Adderall twice a day and 0.1 mg of clonidine at night and 75 micrograms of levothyroxine every morning. I have very severe ADHD and I'm unemployed and disabled and I collect SSI.
