Antidepressant Discontinuation Syndrome

Ever since I’ve stopped withdrawaling from an antidepressant I’ve been feeling less love for my partner. I’m feeling emotional detachment, which makes me feel disconnected from my emotions. I’m dealing with emotional blunting, pretty much a decreased ability to express emotions. Having a harder time with emotional intimacy in relationships.

This is really hard for me rn… Cuz I love my partner alot and my feelings I once had seem to not really be there- like a disconnect. I don’t feel much when I look at him or hear his voice.
I still care tho. I just feel so confused, lost, empty, like something is missing- heartbroken.
I hate pushing him away and saying I need a break. I’ve told him what was going on he’s understanding about it.

idk when these symptoms will ever stop :(

#AntidepressantDiscontinuationSyndrome

I’ve recently been withdrawaling from an antidepressant for about a month now. I didnt just stop taking, my doctor told me how to withdrawal from it since I was on a high dose. But I’m still having bad withdrawal symptoms. I’m experiencing: worse isomnia/ vivid dreams, depression, anxiety, irritability, fatigue… flu- like symptoms (achy muscles/ chills). I’m now taking Magnesium and hope it eventually that helps me.

Any suggestions? It’s my third day with the weaning plan and starting to suffer a bit, i know it won’t be a pleasant experience. I’d be thankful for any thoughts to keep in mind and never give up ..

Guys I need help! Does anybody here knows what to do during withdrawal period of Zoloft? I’ve experience it before due to having ran out of them but this time I tapered it.

I’ve been feeling ill even during the time when I was taking my meds regularly so I got mad because for the longest time it doesn’t feel like it’s been of any help to me anymore and I stopped it.
Cut to now which is more than a week of me stopping my setraline intake, I’ve still been sick nauseous dizzy vomitting getting disturbing dreams my mind is clouded I feel hot and cold at the same time I can’t sit still I feel uneasy and my healthcare providers aren’t being attentive/responsive and Idk what to do anymore I feel like I’m going insane I can’t seem to get help Im just so out of it somebody help even to just ease the symptoms cause I really don’t wanna keep taking Zoloft anymore #Zoloft #Sertraline #Depression #PTSD #withdrawal #AntidepressantDiscontinuationSyndrome

#SideEffects #AntidepressantDiscontinuationSyndrome
I truly have more side effects by using antidepressants. I don't think my doctor is convinced but I want to be off of them.
After 6 years Effexor 37.5 I quit cold turkey . Discontinuation syndrome was a living hell for me so I recently started 25 mg of Pristiq and I am visibly Dopey. It won't be like this always my doctor said. I guess I just have to live in a brain fog and hope it will pass. This is supposed to be helping me. I don't feel helped at all. I feel tired and groggy and wake up grumpy and angry and depressed. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel right?

Effexor Withdrawals

Has anyone else struggled with coming off Effexor? Especially with rebound anxiety and depression? It's so awful I can't handle it

Hi all! I haven’t been on the mighty in forever but I’m looking to connect! I have a long history of mental health issues and as life went on, psychiatrists just kept adding new medications to my pile. The result = I’m very over-medicated and I have to work on cutting back on some meds now that I am doing well and living a healthy life! The first to go was my Cymbalta. I cut down my dosage in intervals (with psychiatrist guidance) and I am now off of it completely.

My question is: Have you ever gone through withdrawal symptoms when coming off an anti-depressant? What symptoms did you encounter and how did you conquer them?

I feel like I am going crazy! I have Sensory Processing Disorder and those miserable issues have sky-rocketed this week. The texture of just about everything is unbearable and everything feels ‘off’. I have been dealing with extra anxiety and getting agitated quickly. Physically I have had intense night sweats and dizzyness.

After some looking, I have read that these withdrawals are a real struggle for many people and that it’s not in my head. I’m not sliding backwards by any means, I just need to hold on and ride this out! I’m very proud of myself for going through the process of beginning to reduce my meds because that thought has scared me for a while. My mindset has grown so much and my self-awareness is thriving, I finally feel stable and ready!

Anyways, I was hoping some people could share their experience with the withdrawal period, what struggles arose during that time, and how you pushed through!
I know that this isn’t just ‘in my head’ but it’s still a bummer to feel like this and except the process!

Thanks for reading,
Erin ❤️
