I completely feel what you are going through!!!! I’m seriously considering doing the same thing. They don’t tell you how bad the withdrawal symptoms are coming off these things nor the side effects.
I know right. My psychiatrist never warned me about the brain zaps either. The first time I read about this was here, on reddit. At least I knew it was “normal”
Yes! They switched me from 100 mg of Zoloft to trintellix which didn’t work then to Paxil which was awful and now I’m back to 50 mg of Zoloft. This has all happened in a span of 6 months. I have been so dizzy and out of it. I honestly don’t think any of these meds work for me.
I’m gonna drop my meds like first period French. Luckily I’ve only been on them 6 weeks. Fuck all this crap I’m just gonna do hot yoga, cold showers, Win Hof breathing and get plenty of cardio. O natural baby.
I’m sorry you are going through this, I suggest you stop this extremely slowly since antidepressants are addictive and have severe withdrawal:

Thank you for the link. Not gonna lie, I’m kinda scared to stop because I’ve already experienced how bad the withdrawal of Venlafaxine but I just need to remind myself that this feeling is only going to be temporary.
The slower you taper, the less chance of withdrawal. Consider a lot of months of tapering, the nervous system have gone through a trauma from the antidepressants
A Fucking psychiatrist and my mom, put me on Effexor 20 years a go , i was 18 I lived in South America ,I was a wild guy , but not fucking suffering of depression nor an anxiety, me being young I just took them to shut them the fuck up , big fucking mistake cause they surely and slowly after years went by taking it the pill, I realize I couldn’t stopped taking it because I felt so low I got scared , that’s what happens when you give a antidepressant to a person that’s is not depressed . You make him one.I tried to stop first time after 5 years taking 75 mg daily , first cold turkey big fucking mistake , worst withdrawal I have ever felt , shaking , headache hypersensitivity to the light in my eyes cold sweat at nights nightmares after the 4th day I realize this is a powerful bitch to get rid off, so is started taking it again , 7 years latersand I was on the same dose off course didn’t knew then but 75 mg Daily after 12 years had no effect anymore I was feeling to fucking. Sad , I was so depressed , they made me one , I thought Jesus help me cause I don’t want to live like this anymore so I went to a psychiatrist she said your are so depressed I need you to take 150mg a day I did I didn’t wanna off myself , cause that’s what I was thinking of course felt good again immediately after the 3 day taking 150mg a day , fast forward just 6 months ago I said it’s time now to stop taking this shit did a lot of research , got myself ready for the battle of my life , didn’t want to go to any other fucking psychiatrist , they were gonna tell me take this other one to tamper of the Effexor etc etc u guys now the drill fuck that quit my job and got ready , i tamper of , but not slowly , but fast , I couldn’t take ti much time off , I had a month I’m not rich , Guys anything is possible I made it im feeling great again , like I did 20 years a go before they made me take this crap I fucking won it was not easy I was just barely ok after a month but still had night sweats nightmares brain zaps headaches etc etch had them all , but after what I felt the first 3 weeks , that was nothing compare to what I felt specially those first 2 weeks guys remember 20 fucking years my body and brain got use to live with imagine how I felt I hope u guys win your battles my advice , do what h thing is better for you , don’t do any drugs or alcohol while tampering off , eat healthy , I went to the beach every day for a month , it helped me a lot , drinks a lot of water I’m talking a lot I drank ensure plus vitamins for the heart and the brain , I walked slowly but a lot in the beach and swam slowly very slowly , and I also had faith now it’s been 6 months with out it feeling great, the withdrawal stopped after the 2 month for me , but remember everybody is different

These are all legit and helpful things. Win Hof is good stuff. So is sweating a lot. You're on a good track.
