I don't know, my brain hurts thinking about it. ;)

Yes, have you gotten brain zaps? Be prepared for those if you don't taper. PM me if you'd like advice. I remember you being on them awhile so you will get them.

brain zaps?
Yes brain zaps. When I came off of anti depressants and decided to take my personality back, several years ago, I remember coming off and I would have these, "episodes" that lasted not more than a couple seconds but it was like an interruption in brain waves. Like brain static and then it goes away. It happens during long term use of SSRI withdrawal. It freaked me out because when I went through it, the doctors didnt tell me it would happen so I went online and found others it happened to. Doctors now call it brain zaps. Don't know if theres an official name yet. They went away about 3-4 months after I came off.

i was getting these bad ,well before taking anti depressants. they're the strangest thing haha

There has been numerous suicides coming off antidepressants particular Zoloft. They mess you up except a few that truly need them. Alot of times a doctor will just give you them if depressed but alot of times life circumstances is what is depressing them so a change of life is in order not medication.
-
the cure for antidepressant withdrawal is to man up, bitch
lol i know buddy
-
Had no zaps but it can be hard mentally because you're alive again and need to work with emotions, thoughts and feelings.
In a way it's a numbing agent - try to see it as just a damper of your real concerns.
Took me 6 times to finally get off that stuff.

well the brain zaps have passed, they re a pain in the ass, but the bigger problem is insomnia, madness, fast thoughts and depression, today i decreased the dosage, almost to zero, never again on this poison.

just taper off, man. I have a family full of people who use them. If you're running 40 mg a day, just cut down to 30 a day, then 20 a day, then 10 a day, and then every other day until you barely notice them. You'll feel alert and alive again as well.
Stopping suddenly can kill people or make them crazy... i've seen folks do that too. IMO, the withdrawal is probably the scariest thing of SSRIs.
-
no one ever committed suicide by manning up
well, the emotional madness and suicidal thaughts are definetely strong coming off this, but suicide is never a option, people need to man up yes.
-
could kelp be the answer?

Withdrawal symptoms will last sometime depending on how long you were on them. Good choice man. You've made a good decision. I felt the same away about and I've never felt better. myself and others will tell you in time it gets better but as Bruce said it's a masking agent. It made me a zombie. If you go back and look at posts I made from those years, you'll see, two different people. It numbs everything, the good, the bad. It makes you indifferent. It makes you a zombie. I'm not saying there aren't people that need them.

ive succesfully tapered off a antipsychotic, been a month clean off it now, and stopped smoking cold turkey

well ssri to some extend does numb down, but its much worse with antypsychotic med that really makes u numb, i dont even think im bipolar, it was all med-induced.

i feel ya. each day easier than the last. i found i fell in love with the highs and creativity again. SSRIs keep one level, but they also result in ya losing your edge, your drive, your fire. re-pick up a hobby or try something new. have insane sex with an equally crazy person :) Worked for me haha
I took them a few years back to combat mild ocd... just minimal use... hated the prostate sides, ouch.

ofcourse you feel alive again, well yeah ssri does make problems in bed, and you need to pop a viagra, thats the reason im quitting, aswell its just not healthy

Fuck yea. Very well known to occur. Any of the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors can cause this. Who advised you to stop 'cold turkey'?

Lift, fuck, make money

which one were you taking? Well yes, the brain needs to re-learn how to deal with emotions after stopping the med, because it hits you from all angles, brain needs some time to regroup.

Zoloft withdrawal ain't shit compared to Effexor. For me Prozac, Effexor, Zoloft were good the first 4-5 months after that the side-effects slowly but surely started outweighing the pro's.

all in good fun...
but in all seriousness a real man gets help when and where he can get it...good luck bro
there is no help, you just need to ride it out and stay positive

i dont know anyone called wes or fallsview

Cipralex - don't know under what brand name it's sold in the US.
Was on them for about 6 years+ and been off now for about 1 year.
It's a daily chore to regain ground.

I took Celexa in high school and it made my depression worse. When I came off I had withdrawal and remember convulsing in the bathroom floor in cold sweats all night. I tried kicking the door and banging the sink so my parents would hear and come to my rescue but they couldn't hear. I was probably laying there for 24 hours before I recovered enough to crawl to bed. It was fucking miserable.
Shortly after that all the black label warnings came out and shit. I got some "brain zaps" after that as well. I don't like messing with that shit. Best to work it out mentally and without all the drugs.

you need to have a clear goal in life , in order to not have mania or depression
the only goal in my life is to last longer than others so i can understand and learn all i can in life
this is a humbling goal, and isnt asking for much just merely stick around without pain because all i want to do is learn.
it seems we are here to learn the numerous abundance of things, you can only be entertained so much to the point where everything seems rehased
however when it comes to learning, its not redudant but there is an extreme abundance, its not easy asking questions about what next useful thing i should learn
so just stick around and dont feel depressed if all there is to do tonite is watch BET awards and contemplate your next move

They gave me prozac and ativan once when I was like 26 and the prozac was horrible. I know it takes a few weeks to build up in the blood but it was still awful and I had no need for a SSRI now the ativan was what my brain wanted or even now I am on xanax wich is a much stronger benzo but when I went in for my monthly check-up I had been on the prozac for 45 days and my blood pressure was sky high. I wanted off the prozac anyway that was one reason I made the apponitment and I also wanted a better benzo then the ativan and even after just 40-45 days of being on just 20mg of prozac the dr. insisted I taper off. I told him I didn't think I would need to taper off since it had only just began to kick in and I was still only taking 20mg in the morning plus I was still going to be on the benzos but he made me take 10mg prozac tabs for I think 10 days then stop using them.
If you really want a horrible time go off a real high dose of oxycontin and xanax like I did and see how that feels-lol I did it and I took that horrible withdrawal for 5 days before I broke down and took some oxycontin again and I thought how crazy it was to go off cold turkey like that. I didn't really want to be on the meds anymore but I really do need them. My back is super fucked . all the discs have worn down to shit and I have a fractured T12 and then my I was also diagnosed with general anxiety and the xanax works very well especially if you have sleeping issues that are caused by anxiety. hell the xanax makes everything better-IMO.

It seems everyone is on crap today. Do you think in the Middle East, South America, China, India and Africa they are loading up on anti anxiety and anti depressant drugs? Everyone has an ailment now. In Africa they are running away from lions wondering when their next meal is going to be and no one is depressed. In the US everyone is depressed because they don't have a house with a built in swimming pool and a corner office at work.

it all starts with stress. Stress is a modern day plague.

It's a side effect of a degenerate society - social engineering plays a big part in this along with various chemicals in goods(foods, medicine) consumed/used by the population. Media tops it off with its eternal assault on the mind.
