  1. Since The beginning of lock-down, when I decided that I'd put an end to my porn addiction and told my family and opened up to my therapist, I have been put on Prozac (a common SSRI or selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors), it worked like magic for my anxiety and mood swings, I made a 72 days streak, I was working out daily and urges started to decrease. However, I had a problem with concentration, major one to be honest, I always couldn't focus on my studies for long periods and I was very unproductive during the online lectures. I could not study at all, I don't whether it was due to the medication or to the circumstances or the nofap. My ability to sit down and study was taken away from me, I stopped the medication and then spiraled into a series of pmo relapses and severe depression, Things were very hard on me, that I decided to get back on it again, but I'm having my final exam in a 7 day period and I couldn't finish reading even 50% of the curriculum, I am constantly feeling tired and fatigued and when I get to studying, my mind constantly wanders and I have hard time getting it back. I don't really know If I should cut it off and face the urges and the withdrawal symptoms that might hit me like a truck in this important period. Many may prefer to consult my therapist but she seems to be pushing the antidepressant thing way too hard. I am a medical student myself and I have just read some papers that may is left to be known about the long-term effects of these drugs on our minds and body and therefore I don't really know what I am supposed to do and I need to go over all the lectures and material in the next 6 days.

    You know you flood your brain with” drugs” when you relapse? Very bad for your mind and body as well. Maybe talk to your doctor about a different antidepressant. My husband tried 3 different ones until they found one they worked with minimal side effects.
