I am off antidepressants for the first time in 10 years.
I need to tell someone this, but don't want to tell anyone I'm close to unless I jinx it and cause myself to lose my shit again.
I should probably tell my bestie and occasional carer, at the least, but I think it's probably better to wait a few weeks first.
I went cold turkey from Prozac, and haven't had any of the devastating side effects that I had dropping off Efexor-XR.
Just intense nightsweats, which have now stopped.
Anyway, if y'all could give a /slow clap or /golf clap, would change my world.
Thanks!

), which is a rebound effect I've heard some people report also... fuckin ssri's. and I don't mean to be a dick, but 10 years going cold turkey is gonna be rough. when did you stop? prozac has an absurdly long half-life, and beyond that half-life your serotonin receptors also take time to slowly change back to normal. not trying to discourage you or anything but be careful... if it gets too hard take a low dose and work it down from there, 10 years is a long time, no shame in that. I couldn't go cold turkey off my ssri's and I had only been on em like 2...
