My antidepressants talking to me:

[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!!

Am I crazy or is it kinda stupid that antidepressants are considered addictive? They're addictive in the sense that "the body is trying very hard to kill the patient and these make it more difficult for it to". Are cancer patients addicted to thier chemo pills?

Day 13 Drawtober :: OCtober (Old Character Art)

I haven't drawn Cel since more or less the same week I created her, sometime mid-2012/2013

Old art of her:

I actually never colored her and the original journal with her only has about 4 drawings of her. Still really like her outfit though, I'm glad I didn't loose her design.

Took my celexa for the first time and my anxiety is soooo high. So worried about an interaction.

[whoblewboobear]

I think the hardest part of being on anti-depressants is trying to decide if I wanna feel numb all the time or if I wanna be a self destructive mess that feels too much.

Started new meds today

[numberonetrashwitch]

So originally i intended to post two chapters back to back, but i don't think i have enough to post the second part and i cannot continue writing today. Im off my starting dose, now taking 2 celexa daily and it got me so blissfully zooted that my bones feel like velvet rn.

But rest assured i have 6 pages written already, but i want to add a nice ending before posting, so yeah..

im now agnostic about whether or not its advil but i cannot tell you how badly i want him to be taking random, no-high pills just bc they belonged to logan, just to have a piece of his father inside him, heedless of potential medical side effects. im talking heart pills, blood pressure meds, antibiotics. just poppin em like skittles bc they were daddys until his liver fails or smth. and either his siblings are going to find out and be like you absolute oedipal freak what is wrong with you. or hes going to run out of pills and have an absolute meltdown bc everything that was logans, including the company and that bottle of like cialis, are gone forever.

you get cremated and the microplastics in your body make a little puddle on the floor & that's how you become a slime

[plurapony]

imagine this, you wake up weary eyes to a world you have never seen before.

there's a girl, she says she's your wife but you've never even seen her before.

you're confused, disoriented, you don't know what's happening and SUDDENLY you're greeted by images of cartoon ponies.

"pick one" the girl tells you, "it's pony plaza tradition." you don't know what she's talking about. she pulls up a screen 'simplyplural' and there are many names all with cartoon pony profile pictures. "it's your turn now."

this is how many of our first days go. thanks @installzoey 💕

the House MD cast as anti depressants, based on vibes alone

House: wellbutrin (bupropion)

Wilson: cymbalta (duloxetine)

Cuddy: celexa (citalopram)

Cameron: paxil (paroxetine)

Chase: effexor (venlafaxine)

Foreman: zoloft (sertraline)

Kutner: pristiq (desvenlafaxine)

Taub: lexapro (escitalopram)

Thirteen: let’s be real she just raw dogs life by going out to the club and drinking but I think homegirl could benefit from some prozac (fluoxetine)

(If it weren’t based on vibes alone I’d switch House and Wilson because Cymbalta can sometimes help with chronic pain, and Taub would not be an SSRI because he has way too much sex for that lmaooo)

well this feels... targeted

[femboyhunting]

If anyone wants a peek into My Twister Mind (left foot green) just know that I posted a drawing just now and then I saw someone posted a character in a vaguely similar fit and I thought to myself Oh No! what if they think I copied them and get mad, I should delete my post right now, I don't want to look like I'm copying!!
