SSRIs work by blocking the reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin by the pre-synaptic neuron, which helps increase serotonin levels in the brain.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are prescribed for depression, panic, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and PTSD.
Common SSRIs prescribed in the US include: Paroxetine, Fluoxetine, Fluvoxmine, Sertraline, Citalopram, Escitalopram, Vilazodone
The nurse should monitor the patient for serotonin syndrome, common side effects (nausea, diarrhea, loss in libido, erectile dysfunction, insomnia, dry mouth), and should educate the patient to never abruptly stop taking the medication because discontinuation syndrome can occur.

they never mention the crazy dreams. . .
You explained it sooooo well.
Fluoxetine is great
The people spreading fear in the comments… ssri has helped me SO MUCH!! it’s healthy for your brain, forms new neural pathways, and helps regulate your nervous system. I have zero side effects starting it. Pls dont listen to negative comments about it bc I regret not starting them sooner!
