Starting a phased withdrawal from my anti depressants. Fingers crossed.

I’m so looking forward to being able to cry if I want to

So here we are, my first med free day. I feel like someone’s taken the stabilisers off my bike/taken my armbands off. Will I be ok? Who knows but I feel good and it’s got to be worth (another) a try. Watch this space...

Rooting for you Cath. You might find huge benefits, I'm still on the meds and often get a feeling of being elsewhere/pissed, I'm looking forward to ditching them at some point and being 'back in the room'.

I stopped mine Cold Turkey. (Without Consultation with Dr.)

 

I’ve seen lots of benefits mainly being able to spunk my load again.

 

But lots of negatives to go with it. Like randomly breaking down in tears and horrendous anxiety that feel like heart palpitations.

 

May need to go back to the doctors if I get any worse

You should wean off them slowly, I've done cold turkey in the past and it can be horrendous

Did the same with both fluoxetine and sertraline.

 

Fed up of not being able to shoot your load, the night sweats (to the point I had to change the bedding every day) and just hated having to take them to the point I found that made me more depressed.

 

Been off work for 4 weeks now and the doc thinks I should go back on them but have resisted so far.

Yeah those sweats were a bastard.

 

Wasn’t a good thing trying to fuck the bird you’re seeing, going for 3 hours straight cause you can’t cum (she loved it) and then settling down and going to sleep and her thinking at 3am you’ve pissed all over her.

 

Just trying to pull myself together now.

 

Also I’d suggest Col that you’ve been far better than any antidepressants could ever be. I’d suggest to anyone going through shit to find a brother or sister you can confide and talk to.

 

Edit: although I’m gonna try and be less stoned the next time I speak to you on the phone. Christ, that accent. Doesn’t help anyone.

If you ever need to chat, just let me know. It's a turbulent road (going off and on medication) but remember you can control the storm.
