[weirdpersonifiedpills]

🌟💊-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!!

[elekid]

even the seller's not sure abt this one

[beets-and-hottea]

I know I’ve been off my meds to long when I stop wondering if im asexual

[poorbrokemess]

I'm on new meds for my mental health. They are great. Except, the dreams.

Someone who knows something about lucid dreaming needs to tell me how to make them stop once I've started to "fix" it and only make everything terrifying.

Because the uncanny valley effect causes me to instantly announce

"You're not real this is a dream"

That makes everything terrifying. The people turn bad.

And when I try and manipulate it to make it less scary, I ONLY MAKE IT WORSE.

I need to know how to escape them once I ruin them.

Because I could not escape.

Not cool. Not cool at all.

Someone help 😅😭

DAY 6

April 21th , 2025

I am afraid that switching to sertraline might cause me to gain weight,

After comparing pictures from my trip to Chicaque in 2017 with those from this week’s trip, I can’t deny it ... I’ve definitely put on weight.

Not massively, but still… fatter, older, slower,

and so on...

I want to remain positive and be okay with myself, regardless of how my body changes.

My doctor assured me that sertraline doesn't make you gain weight ...but I have seen forums , tik toks, and even doctors saying your body can lead to fluid retention...

So, It's definitely a concern.

I've been telling myself for years that I’ll start going to the gym, but never make it...

I still don’t have a proper routine or healthy habits...

In my way, I know...

But it seems like forever

[dandelions-and-white-wolves]

The one thing I did not remember about taking Luvox was that the second I get a bit too hungry I also get incredibly nauseated and it self perpetuates until I force some crackers into myself or whatever and become a functional adult again (still worth it)

[mademoiselle-crabaletta]

Why am I so sensitive to medication?? I hate it!!!! My dr is understanding about it at least but I still worry she thinks I'm over exaggerating it..

[sirpeppersto]

IM BACK ON LEXAPRO BITCHES

[boydyke]

crazy how ocd can be so stressful 24/7 it gets your ass scoring in the did/osdd range of dissociative symptoms. and also how common of an occurrence this is

[lilycove]

i was actually diagnosed with Severe Ocd in 2023 and i had no idea until i started being medicated for it that it has literally been controlling my life since i was a little kid 😭 and interestingly i always thought of myself as...? pretty well informed on mental health stuff and whatnot, but i did not recognize my own literal textbook ocd symptoms. instead it took a team of like 5 different friends to convince me i wasn't evil and irredeemable i just needed to look into help for this. and my life is so much better with fluvoxamine in it LOL i am. just doing leagues better in every possible measure

[uryufriend6]

hey guys, i recently received a huge buff thanks to my ocd meds getting rid of my depression and anxiety

i will now be an even bigger menace to society 💕

[poorbrokemess]

Fuck it

This will be my dream diary thing. Because this is torture. Maybe getting it out will help.

10.2.23

Last nights sleep was slow to come, the doxepin didn't set in within 45 minutes like it has been. Unsure if it's because of fear of the dreams, because I took a rescue anxiety med earlier in the evening, if I need a higher dose of doxepin.. no idea.

Dream theme

In childhood home. Me and one of my kids were napping on the couch, it was 3 am. Some TV show in the background. I was hungry so went to the fridge and found lots of..... I think it was supposed to be cake?

Was grabing literal handfuls of it, not like, getting a plate or anything.

Mother came home, with others. Dad's best friend and his wife, some of their grand kids. Someone she said she used to work with, although he looked like best friends dead father figure. They delivered a couch (significant only because it was the same couch once delivered there.)

Extra people left.

Mom as usual was complaining about how I live far away. Informing me of some sorta family gathering I didn't want to go to on my dad's side. I am unsure if dad was dead in the dream. At times I was waiting for him to come at times I knew he was dead. I switched between the *knowing*

Then the teeth started(common dream theme teeth usually hurt and are lose, triggering my *knowing*). This time tho it was different. A back tooth started falling to peices. Just the one. So I was poking at it in a mirror and it looked like a pimple. So I popped it. But it was endless. Tooth chunks and blood and pus came out in giant amounts. So much I though my tounge had fallen out.

Woke up after the *knowing* because I started screaming about how this is why I hate sleeping now.

Fell in and out of repeated false awakenings in my own current home. Where everything was normal. Until I got the *knowing*

Had a while once actually waking before I accepted I was actually awake.

Lack of anxiety, depression, and OCD behaviours from luvox is amazing.

But these dreams it gives, make me feel sick. I feel like I want to cry now.

It doesn't seem bad any time I talk about it or write it out. But it makes me feel bad. I don't like the way these dreams feel. Or the way the people look at me. The uncanny valley is heavy in them.

There was more that happened but so many false awakinging caused the rememberence to fail some.

[benjamin-benny-ben]

So my new meds have been giving me INSANE dreams (I usually don’t dream/remember a thing from them)

But the date everything brain rot is so strong that both Brennan Lee Mulligan AND Sungwon Cho have shown up in my dreams now -_-

(Don’t ask me what the dreams were about, I can’t remember anymore BUT it’s wild)

DAY 5

April 13th , 2025

I've been taking luvox for almost 14 months

I am not a new person,

But things has slowly changed...

maybe just the way anything would change after this much time

What I like:

I find myself ruminating far less than I used to,

peace of mind...

I’m hopeful that my brain chemistry is quietly rearranging itself,

slowly learning to process what it couldn’t before.

So it feels like a good window for change...for choosing better things.

Not just reacting from freeze or flight mode...

but in a new way...

I cry less.

What I do not like:

I wake up with a heavy head.

It takes me ages to actually get out of bed and start moving.

Exercise should be my medicine, but I feel so lazy.

I just can’t get myself to do it.

So, this “window for change” hasn’t shifted that part yet.

And yeah... I still cry.

I still have outbursts when anxiety takes over.

I’m 35.

When I look back, I can see how much has gotten better.

But some part of me is still stuck in that old sadness,

still tied to it somehow.

Let it go. Please.

[dandelions-and-white-wolves]

Luvox is turning me into a shorts-in-winter guy. I never understood them before.

[ithinkofnealcassady]

actually can we roundtable “anxiety depression ocd” meds for a sec what do we like and what would you never ever take again. also if you have a take on any as-needed meds for anxiety/panic attacks do share

any of u take sertraline and if so how long was it until the GI side effects resolved
