I quit taking my antidepressants sorta just to see what that would feel like (I did it very gradually). I went from 20 mg to 10 mg and felt pretty good. Then I went to 5 mg and felt really good. Then I eventually went to 0 mg and still felt really good.
Two weeks later and I am SO damned out of it. Brain fog, headaches, unable to focus, catching movement out of the corner of my eye when nothing is there.
Apparently this is a thing. You feel like you're thru the process and BAM! It gets you.

Gonna keep riding it out for a while longer to see if it clears. Aside from this current flare-up of feeling weird it's all felt pretty OK. My highs are much higher, though I AM also prone to being more irritable and a bit meaner than I was on the SRRI. When (not if) civilization collapses I don't want to be reliant on finding antidepressants in the rubble. How's THAT for a positive spin, eh!? 🤣
