Honest story coming off anti-depressants

in #news8 years ago (edited)

Hi guys 

This is a genuine story. Years ago I would have been afraid to tell. 

I've been taking anti- depressants for 1.4 years, not long. 

Now I've got rid of the course of stress, and why I was taking anti-depressants. (My now ex wife) Lol

Anyway I guess taking ant-depresants is good, at the time it was, but now I'm on my 3rd week of withdrawal. This is because I've stopped taking them. 

The withdrawal I'm experiencing I want to warn others when or if they are ever considering taking anti-depressants. 

It may not be a big problem but I've lost complete control of my right arm. My neck kills me, my fingers tingle. Like an electic shock. There is Pain all the time on my arm. This isn't good I have to type on my bed body flat lol. 

I dont drive, but I'm told I could for a time go through this the back of my head kills too. Lol 

i know what it is but I feel I want to share this experience. 

Take care guys

Philip

Food for thought. I can't promise anything but it worked wonders for me, where nothing else did.

Hang in there Philip. Having struggled from depression and addiction, I've also been on antidepressants before. I've successfully stayed off, but my opinion of them has changed significantly -- they truly did save my life.

That being said, whether to stay on them or not is obviously a personal decision, but because of your physical symptoms I highly suggest you get a few opinions on what the next best steps are for you. Not saying you should go back on them, just want you to be careful in your journey.

Best of luck.

Arh thanks really nice reply man
