I can tell you from bitter experience that they fucking suck. I’m currently trying to get off after a solid 8 years on them. You don’t realise how much they affect you until you start to drop the dosage - your brain works completely differently.
Withdrawals are awful, but I finally decided pushing through it was worth it. Give it another few months and hopefully I’ll be 100% free of this crap.
Congratulations to you regarding this accomplishment. Wishing you the best as you sound to be in the home stretch!
I have been fortunate enough to not need/be introduced to these sorts of medications... I always worry that however they might intend to help, it is unbalanced with how it might rob your brain's natural ability to do these sort of chemical-related tasks. But I hardly know much about them to say with any certainty, so I appreciate your sharing here regarding your experiences with them.
I had to look up what an SSRI is, lol. I don't know what that says about me, but hopefully it is a good thing.
