Hi all...I'm a newbie here! I was wondering if anyone has dealt with stopping anti depressants and had to deal with discontinuation issues?
I was on effexor since about 1995, and have FINALLY been able to break free. My doctor switched me to prozac for a year before helping me stop. I have been medication free since march this year....i had gotten to a point where i knew i did not need this drug any more, and now am realizing my brain has no idea how to behave. Emotions allll over the place, even 4 months out. I happened to come across this book, and felt like it was my story.
Not only had the meds masked emotional and physical pain, it also masked my sugar issues.
Have you gone through this challenge? How long til you noticed improvement in emotions being more balanced through working with diet? I am very convinced sugar is very influential in having (or not having) stability....anything else that might help?Thanks for any tips!
