I dropped my meds cold turkey when that happened like a decade ago, and told my current GP I'd do it again if he put me on anything that affected my libido.
He showed me though, I'm pretty sure my libido is up after getting the dosage sorted.
that shit is fucked up man, "the zaps" for coming off anti-deps are a month+ long pain.
It’s been over a decade but I swear I thought I felt one coming on when I read your comment.
Mine ended 6 months after cold turkey on Zoloft. Doctors just... Didn't know at all, when it happened.
I was thinking I still get them from time to time but in writing this post I realized I only get shivers, not the full zap.
Effexor?
IDK, it was a generic ass SSRI.
Three months for me. I’ll never go near one again.
do you think you would have considered not going on them if you were warned about the "comedown"?
Possibly. What I took was an antidepressant but I didn't take it for depression. I was on a medication that caused me a sort of medically-induced dementia and I lost the ability to live alone, cook, walk on the street without a helper, etc. The antidepressant was given as a way to counteract those symptoms, and it worked for it. When I eventually got off that medication, the antidepressant started causing me all sorts of problems and so I discontinued it. It was terrible.
I kind of learned to enjoy the zaps lol.
It was better than the mental fucking they were giving me. Like I told the GP, they're not helping and we're going to make the problem worse if I stayed on them.
Hey, I'm not saying "don't go off meds if they're doing more harm than good" I'm saying "going cold turkey off mental health meds instead of doctor/therapist guided tapering is a bad idea"
