Be careful out there! Drink lots of water, wear sunscreen, try to stay in the shade when possible, all the things!

by the way re: my previous post, i feel like a few of you might want to know that there's a thing in pharmacology called a medicine's half-life (which varies depending on the med), during which a quarter of the dose you took is still in your body and working.
everyone who takes any medication should be aware of it, but imo people who take antidepressants should especially know what this shit is because it can very easily make or break the deal.
example: i was prescribed 50mg of sertraline. the amount in my body on the first day i took it was 50mg, but on the second day it was 50mg + ¼ of the 50mg from the previous day, because Zoloft (and any other sertraline med) has a half-life of 24 hours. That ¼ did me in. I lowered the dose to 25mg daily, now i'm fine.
the takeaway is: look up the half-life of your meds and have the dose adjusted accordingly if the stacking of dose + half-life makes you feel bad!! meds are supposed to make you feel more functional, so if you feel worse, it means you're taking too much! talk to your doctor!!

As of today, I am 26 years old.
I have tried
citalopram
clomipramine
mirtazepine
effexor
zoloft
concerta
and today, i was prescribed prozac.
oh what I would give to feel like a normal girl, getting dressed up and feeling confident with how I look, getting in my car and driving by myself to get an iced coffee, drake playing in the car as i drive safely, with nothing in my mind except for the present moment I am in.
maybe, I hope, that prozac can help me with this. It has to. Because I am 26 years old. And I already feel like a dead crone who has wasted her life away.

Well, I've reach the brain zap stage of SSRI withdrawals, and for those who haven't experienced it, it's just as bad, if not worse than it sounds. 😓😓😓😓😓

Antes mis caramelos favoritos eran los que se podían saborear, morder, masticar, etc., los de hoy en día son solo los que se pasan con mucha agua, mi favorito se llama Clonazepam.

🌟💊-Welcome!-💊🌟
Heyo, I’m Mouthy (@mouthydraws), welcome to my funny pill blog! I’m an autistic artist with a special interest in pharmacology, specially psychiatric medications, more specifically antidepressants, even more specifically SSRIs. A lot of the stuff I post here will be older until I’m able to catch up, but that hopefully won’t take too long!
New blog for my medication personifications? First post obviously has to be the SSRI lineup from 2022, here come the white-tailed deer ready to fight for your mental health!
From left to right: Zelmid (zimelidine), Luvox (fluvoxamine), Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Paxil (paroxetine), Celexa (citalopram), and Lexapro (escitalopram)
SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are a class of antidepressants used to treat a variety of mental illnesses, most notably anxiety disorders and depression. They’re my absolute favorite class and the reason I’m currently in college for pharmacology. Prozac’s history in particular is my favorite to read about, so expect plenty of him and his history lol.
F.A.Q.
What are personified pills?
Personified pills are, as the name suggests, personifications of medications. Each aspect of the character, from their design to their personality, is carefully chosen based on historical, chemical, and pharmacological aspects of the actual medication. I enjoy drawing the characters in scenes that reference the real-life history of said drug.
Are these your OCs?
Yes. While I don’t own the idea of personifying medications, the designs and characters themselves do belong to me. You’re welcome to design your own personifications, or use mine with credit!
Why are they animals/furries?
Each class of drugs is a different animal species, I think it adds a lot to the characters, and specific animals are chosen in the same way every other aspect of the characters are chosen. Having the characters be animals also allows for clear distinctions between drug classes. I don’t enjoy drawing humans, but even if I did, I’d still keep them as animals.
Do you have a personification for *insert medication here*
All of my personifications are on my Toyhouse (@mouthydraws) under the ‘Medications’ folder. It can take some background knowledge on the class of the drug/possible subclasses or categories to find some of them, so I’ll also be uploading all of them here and using tags to make them easier to locate. If you have a specific medication you want to see, feel free to let me know!
Will you personify illegal drugs?
Given that most illegal drugs either didn’t start out as illegal or are only illegal in certain forms/circumstances, yes. I’ve started on the opioid personifications, and diacetylmorphine (her0in) is definitely going to be a part of that, as well as ADHD medications, which means m3thamphetamine hydrochloride (crystal m3th) is also on the horizon.
Are real people/names included in character lore?
No, I try to keep real people out of the personified pill lore, as it is fiction that’s simply based on actual events. A lot of the history behind these medications can be upsetting, and I do my best to treat these events with the respect they deserve. I’ll talk a lot about drug companies (Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Novartis, AstraZeneca, etc. etc.) but I won’t mention anyone specific lore-wise. I enjoy talking about drug history OUTSIDE of these characters, and will probably do that here too (with appropriate tags of course).
My inbox is always open, but I’m more active on Instagram and Twitter (@mouthydraws). I post a lot of WIPs and general pharmacology ramblings on my Instagram stories, so if you’re interested come check it out! I’m always looking for more pharmacology mutuals!!

Sometimes you just have to take your citalopram and cry (I don’t feel anything unless it’s rage)

I have been off my anxiety meds for over a year now and my sex drive hasn’t returned. And I’ve read about it maybe taking years to return or even never… why isn’t this something the fucking doctors tell you about before? She did not mention I would lose my sex drive and be emotionally numb. Both which are still affecting me after a year of stopping my medication. I would of just dealt with my social anxiety rather than the side effects of the meds…
It’s so fucking depressing having no sexual desire for your partner. Or feeling love for them or even your children.
Yeah citalopram made it so I could function around people but in return it completely numbed me…
End of rant I guess..

So I’ve now been started on Prozac cause the Citalopram gave me nose bleeds and I was bruising super mega bad. I still have bruises all over my legs from being pushed into something over a week ago.
Let’s hope I get on with the Prozac and don’t have to be put on yet something else.

Esa sensación de ser una fracasada nunca se me va. Soy un asco aunque intente no serlo.
