Quitting Cold-Turkey

>>39315926
Why would you stop taking them? They're a pretty good thing to take.

they helped me when i was committed in the mental ward and through hard time of my life i was going through. things are better and i don't want to be chemically affected anymore.

theres two sides to quitting A-D (never do it vs it can be done) so im wondering if anyone here has some first hand experience

>>39315926
Get back to taking your medicine, goy.

My friend, things are better BECAUSE you take the meds.

When I stopped taking Effexor, I got phantom sensations and hallucinations. The worst was suddenly the feeling of tons of spiders crawling all over me while in the shower. That one freaked me out bad.

No. You take your antidepressants until they run out, then you go to your pharmacist. Rinse and repeat.

stop taking antidepressants

Most common cause of depression relapse.


OP, chemicals control us more than normies are willing to admit. Our hobbies and habits are just dopamine arcs in the brain, sex identity is caused by 4-5 different hormones. Serotonin makes the bad feels go away.


So stick to your SSRI timetable, otherwise you'll be just as fucked as when you started.

SSRIs aren't a drug, they don't do any harm, and they aren't addictive by themselves.

Please OP, don't let the depression happen again

Anon, you will relapse. Just look up the rates.

Go tell the doctor you want to come off them. They can really fuck you up in the head with crazy withdrawal effects so you want to be careful and listen to them.

Holy shit are you me anon? Stopped recently too. I'm getting weird shocks in muscles especially when I move, not sure if it's related

thanks anons. fuck this withdrawal shit. it was an impulsive descision
>>39316076
did you stop on your own account or with your docs approval? how long on the pills? that sucks

Taper off the stuff slowly for a period of a month.
You will experience nightmares and increased anxiety during the process and for a bit afterward.

The way you are going is not safe. It can cause an episode of psychosis and get you sent to a mental ward.

You don't quit cold turkey, you taper until you don't get withdrawals any more.

Don't listen to the Jews ITT; if SSRIs didn't help you it's because you didn't have neurotransmitter imbalances to begin with. If you keep taking the cerebral Jew you soon will have, though.

I quit cold turkey on several different anti-depressants that I took for close to a year and I didn't notice any kind of side effect or anything at all.
Either they didn't work on me in the first place, or I am one of the few lucky ones who don't get any withdrawal symptoms.

Go back on them anon.
My worst depressive downfalls have been 2 months after I get off my antidepressants
It will feel bad man
