Recovering Emotions After 24 Years on Antidepressants
The only thing that seems to be universally true about mental health is that we’re all different, and someone else’s experiences rarely apply perfectly to your own.<p>I put off getting on the meds for at least 15 years longer than I should have done because of stories like this. They have been life changing lot positive for me with almost no downsides.<p>In addition, I’ve read more than one story like this where the person eventually decides it’s time to get back on the SSRIs after a year or two off.<p>Experiment, find what works for you, but these articles that are angry at big pharma and describe pills as primarily bad need to be seen very much as just localised experiences.
