Out of curiosity, what do you think are the permanent side effects for humans.

I have been taking them for decades but stopped recently since my life hasn’t really improved after all those decades.




Sexual dysfunction, for one.

Additional potential long-term side effects include, but are not limited to, weight gain, feeling emotionally numb, and increased suicide risk.

Furthermore, there's the SSRI discontinuation syndrome.


While it might be different for some people, I believe most of what you mention are short term side effects that fade once you stop taking it.

Discontinuation syndrome I assume are the side effects when you suddenly stop. I believe those are also temporary for most people.
