Here a question for you can't test for serotonin without taking the brain out so how do you know if a person has to much or little serotonin also since you can't test for it without killing the person how do you know that the SSRI even affect the serotonin levels to begin with?

[@callsignzuluindiafour7676]

For the negative comments about ssris let me just say that paroxetine has given me my life back from crippling ptsd, depression, anxiety and panic disorder. It does work.

[@Berryflowers]

[@FatehSinghGill12s]

Thank you sarah I passed my NCLEX.I watched your most of videos.

[@cathywardell9604]

Thank you, this was helpful! It would be great to also have a video on TCA's and MAOI's. Even though they're not prescribed very much anymore, nursing schools are still testing on them.

[@Buffbundy]

Ahh nurse Sarah, you are still around. You helped me get through nursing school almost 7 years ago. Now that I’m a RN, I’m on a SSRI. Funny how that happens. Maybe you need to mention nursing will lead to Anxiety and depression in your lectures. 😂

[@alphoncedennisangasa4583]

The long awaited topic has finally landed Thanks Sarah

[@NXNX]

there are cases where proper use of SSRI/SNRIs (even just a few doses) triggers Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) which is a persistent syndrome after discontinuation and currently incurable.. so many young people have their lives ruined by it. Unfortunately I know something about it.

[@Amar-bk3nv]

Exactly I am among them the unlucky one.

[@verticalyetti1266]

we’re you on lexapro?

[@chamenchamen8171]

Thanks for doing mental health nursing. I hope you could do more in the future 😊

[@LLBB1021]

Lexapro saved and gave me my life back.

[@MariaPerez-kc8uo]

Thank you nurse Sarah for this lecture your amazing!

[@Aleshanation]

I call the electrical shocks brain zaps. I got off a SSRI because it was absolutely awful for me but did it abruptly. My brain did not appreciate it.

[@salted6422]

SSRI (Paroxetin) was akin to chemical lobotomization for me. I was talked into taking it because I was convinced it was a necessary step for me take so I'd get access to a doctor who specializes in treating adhd. Got my adhd diagnosed last Christmas, but I recall this process began in 2018. I don't know exactly how much time I lost due to SSRI, but I do know I won't trust anyone who's job is to sell me sh*t I don't need. People who give these sorts of "medicines" to others should be willing and ready to take it themselves or they really don't differ much from those who guard extermination camps; "I did what I was told to do" isn't considered a valid justification in civilized circles.

[@depressed_weighted_B1anket]

Yeah, that one causes so many problems

[@JacobSockness59]

No fascist USA!

[@shamkhan3303]

Very good effort to introduce the right life saving drugs. Keep it up dr

[@karel701]

Thank you Nurse Sarah! Amazing lecture, thank you

[@MrJimmy-ox7fq]

I don't need ssri's; I just watch charming Nurse Sarah and all is well with the world!

[@shawunminor1761]

Why can’t there be testing done to know for sure if you have low serotonin levels and if so find out what is causing the issue

[@x9x1x6x]

It's a scam. They told me my serotonin was low although they never measured.

[@jhljhl2207]

They have the call is studies which they won't do on everyone but there is no direct correlation between serotonin and depression

[@jdsaint6944]

Because it’s a scam and bull. Big Pharma is an evil money making machine

[@EdJLej]

SSRIs = Big pharma propaganda

[@zamarripa461]

Thank you for these videos, you are awesome

[@JoChen-gb4xr]

this is so much better than the University “summary”

[@lakraanju9639]

Please make a video to schizophrenia it's very difficult to remember ma'am ur teaching level is very very very good .. god keep always blessed you ..

[@shortcut101]

Thanks, I got one student who have anxiety disorder. Never would've thought this kind of problem is exist as illness. I had to search how to handle with this type of person so I can find a solution to give him individual assignment or group assignment

[@ancycruz4392]

Thank you, Ms. Sarah, It make it easier for me to understand the MOA of SSRI :) God bless you!

[@manoushcabruny4347]

THANK YOU for your thorough explanation!

[@Sammy-rn5kx]

Ughhh such long waited video ty:)

[@thomaspuang4201]

It can also use for chronic pain as well

[@slyfly4829]

my ex girlfriend started taking these, she had problems with anger and anxiety, about a week and a half after being on them, she was emotionless, she was like a zombie, she told me she felt nothing for me , dumped me and kicked me out. she has never been the same since

[@jcbanbury]

She should have done research before taking them. SSRIs are awful, worse than awful.

[@letyourlightshine2727]

These drugs are horrible you can end up with pssd or serotonin syndrome it's very sad idk how people take this garbage

[@Pavel1560]

This is true, but no doctor will ever say that. They are earning money from prescribing this shit, so who cares?

[@Kaizen747]

😂😂😂

[@germanshepherdmom1143]

Worse than benzodiazepines, by far.

[@bestymusic4845]

Thanks for the video. I was wondering which is the best SSRI medication in 2023? Or maybe the one with the least side effects ? Or the most popular ? Thanks

[@sharwaripawar1301]

so easy to understand thankyou so much

[@ruby7387]

Do you have a video like this one on TCAs? This one was perfect!! Thanks!!

[@EmoKen]

If there was proposition proposal on the ballot to ban this I'd vote for it.

[@kawshalyaperera1658]

Super video, thanks 💐

[@skyemorgan8461]

We have an exam coming up soon over maternity and sexually transmitted infections! Any chance we could get a video on STIs?

[@stevenjohnsantiago735]

Nurse Sarah, please include more lectures on Psychiatric Nursing.

[@Alaa-cv8pj]

Thank you ❤

[@matchmedicines8209]

it was amazing, special thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻💝💝

[@babynaysc]

I keep thinking, the problem with treatment with medications is the side effects, especially with weight gain, anorgasmia and drowsiness. Even with diet and exercise, I gained weight and bloated, causing self-esteem problems. Having depression and panic is bad, you take medication and you have these symptoms and you also feel bad, we have no way out

[@Pavel1560]

My advice for you is to stop taking this meds and go to a theraphy. It's far better than taking this shit, helped me a lot. Meds changed me to brainless, emotionless zombie with harsh side effects. On theraphy you are working with your problem, taking meds is like symptoms treatment instead of real treatment. Doctor will give you another meds to treat side effects from previous meds, and soon you will be taking 3-5 different meds only to help you a little, but give you tons of nasty side effects.

Joel 2:32 “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call

[@SuperCody888]

Could you explain why these drugs effect a persons sex drive, as well as the permanent life destroying side effect know as PSSD (post SSRI sexual dysfunction) Thats when a person still experiences the sexual side effects associated with these drugs even after they've stopped taking them.

[@tharajames7965]

Awesome video.learned lot from you only.could you plz upload more pharama videos.

[@depressed_weighted_B1anket]

I take an SSRI I'm excited to hear that this is taught beautifully. Everything you mentioned about what Serotonin is super true. I suffer from depression, bipolar, and all the dx from DSM-5 :P No seriously it's good. I like it. I wouldn't change it. It makes me happy, I can go throughout my day without crying, personality changes. It's very helpful especially when I worked in the hospital. I can tell a great great difference in how I used to feel when I was deeply depressed. Yet, it can kind of do the opposite (I take other medications, Vvyance for my ADHD which kind of enhances the symptoms a little bit) I have NAUSEA I have low LIBIDO (it's hard for me to become aroused on my own) Dry mouth (I just had a bedtime snack from sleeping a few hours ago) I have biotein/gum for this. I have insomnia (not really from this medication) Motion sickness (I take an antiemtic) I take breaks on weekends (I have been celexa for over a year) to stop" thinking" to hibernate Yet, I'm also nervous to get off my medications when I want to have a baby. I take so much medication, and I don't want to have postpartum depression (severe) 🥺🥺 Yet, when I take something, I look at any interactions regardless. Except candy! (Oh yeah, it can kind of raise my blood sugar because I crave sweets a lot more since being on Celexa)so it can raise blood sugar through that route. So everything you said I can confirm! Great Job, Sarah! 👍🏼

[@soumias04]

To Stop ssri is another story.it messes with the whole body not just the brain.your whole being becomes dependant on them.even when tapering down very slowly it can be unsuccesful.good luck to you.i would say never take them for more than a year.

[@fentoonskiPWNER]

@@soumias04 I went a week refusing to take my escitalopram. Ended up withdrawing hard, getting electric zaps in my brain, Exreme irritibility etc. Was horrid
