I need some encouragement from people who have gotten over SSRI

I went through atypical antidepressant withdrawal. Some things that got me through included warm baths, reading (of course did not retain much), videogames, walks (on a treadmill or outside), music, and very low doses of clonazepam.

Yea those brain shivers are really fucked, but they go away. Fucking effexor.

Out of curiosity, what convinced you to discontinue your SSRI?

I no longer suffer from what I was put on it for (teenage related anxiety) and since I'm an adult now I don't want to have to pay for unneeded medication when I get off of my parents' insurance. I got on Zoloft when I was 13, doctors didn't say anything about what happens when you stop

>I no longer suffer
Funny, I've basically had severe anxiety, among other issues, since I was 8 years old. I thought I no longer had any need for medications after experiencing a relatively good year. I'm now back on meds, as I am presently having a complete meltdown.

I've been doing well for 4 years. I got off of seroquel a year ago with no problems or anxiety issues, and I figured I might as well go all the way with getting off my meds. The physical symptoms though...it's like having the flu.
