I've tried 4 different SSRIs and none of them did anything. Ecstacy has no effect on me. Nor do magic mushrooms. Took me until I was 40 ish to find something that worked. Turns out my issue is too little gabba or at least over excitable neural tissue. Pregabalin fixes me. If I can't get that then CBD helps.

Gabapentin is a very widely prescribed drug so arguably very safe, certainly safer than ssri, but you won’t hear about this outcome from CBD: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4314910/

CBD can be hepatotoxic so not a perfect solution even if it’s highly effective.
