I do see a lot of posts about things like that but I'm just looking for some advice from people going through the same thing.
I’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression for the last five/six years and I’m so proud to say that I took my last anti-depressant 2 week ago today.
I've initially started on Citalopram then went on to Fluoxetine then Sertaline but about two and half years ago I just stopped them completely and did cold turkey.
Jan 2017 I ended up having abit of a mental break down and going back to the doctors because I was having the worst panic attack's I've ever had. I was put back on Citalopram and was up to 40mg but I always felt flat, and low and felt no emotion.
I'd had enough of this so in Jan this year I decided to come off them again but did it very slowly with the help of my GP.
It started off not too bad coming off them, I was starting to feel like 'me' again.. happy, giddy, the 'loud one' at work but this past two week where I haven't been on any meds have been awful.
I've felt so up and down and I'm getting so agitated with EVERYTHING.
I'm fed up of having to explain myself to people by saying 'oh I'm sorry I've been a temperamental bitch today but I've recently come off AD so it's abit hard at the moment'
About a week after I had come off them, when I was laid in bed, and having suicidal thoughts.. well not thoughts but scenarios that could happen and having panic attacks.
I'm really sorry for the long post but I just wanted to know if anybody else has felt the same when coming off them?
