    I dropped my meds cold turkey when that happened like a decade ago,

    that shit is fucked up man, “the zaps” for coming off anti-deps are a month+ long pain.

      It was better than the mental fucking they were giving me. Like I told the GP, they’re not helping and we’re going to make the problem worse if I stayed on them.

        Hey, I’m not saying “don’t go off meds if they’re doing more harm than good” I’m saying “going cold turkey off mental health meds instead of doctor/therapist guided tapering is a bad idea”

      It’s been over a decade but I swear I thought I felt one coming on when I read your comment.

        Mine ended 6 months after cold turkey on Zoloft. Doctors just… Didn’t know at all, when it happened.

        I was thinking I still get them from time to time but in writing this post I realized I only get shivers, not the full zap.
