I think the SSRI's have permanently changed my preception of things.
I am in a mathematics program and oftentimes you *need* to obsess about things in order to learn them properly. The SSRI's have completely short circuted my ability to obsess about anything.
They oftentimes make me feel as if *nothing* is real, and so why even bother. Ie nothing in this world is solid and real so why obsess about it.
SSRI's can lower dopamine, which has that grounding reality effect. I found I have lost some of my ability to sustain attention and interest in mathematics. The SSRI's have also seemed to permanently changed my views on religion.
I am just blithering on of course, but I do feel that SSRi's have permanently changed my prespective on how the world is.
For good, for bad ? only time can tell
