      You come off SSRIs (with or without) tapering and get “The zaps” and tell me that’s not addiction.

        Getting off of long term SSRIs was a nightmare for me and left my body broken in a bunch of whole new ways

        you are describing “chemical dependence”.

        addiction is more than that.

          If someone smacks you over the head with a bat, is that better or worse if they strike you over the head with a bat?

        Not all of them have that, I’ve been on about 7 SSRIs and have never had the zaps from stopping

        The zaps can be fun sometimes

          Sometimes I’m tempted to go off my meds just to see what that feels like

          I’m not gonna do it but I like thinking about doing it
