@meingan Thanks for reading my post.
Unfortunately SSRI’s do take up to six weeks to get in your system.
You might want to try Zoloft, Wellbutrin and Buspar. I have had great luck with them over many years. I do believe Zoloft might be most popular SSRI and is well tolerated by many people.
By the way people are addicted to caffeine and alcohol. I find alcohol to be very destructive to many families.
You are right that taking almost anything can become addictive.
Good luck to you.
