I’ve always wondered if I simply lucked out. But the usual caveats apply: talk to your doctor, I am a datapoint of one, etc.
But they do work for some lucky people, and there is a chance you’re one of them.
“Walking around with a pit in my stomach” is a feeling I vaguely remember having before 2016, but at the time it felt like endless doom. Perhaps in five years your pain will feel like a distant memory too.
It seems to be true that not-Prozac might be a bad idea. The anecdata is pretty strong that Welbuterin and Lexapro have side effects that offset any benefit. Everyone reacts differently, but the side effects for me have been quite tolerable.
If you do try it, note you won’t experience any effect unless you take it every day for 30 days. I almost missed the benefits because of giving up too early.
