I have a question for you guys .. I start doubting myself . I use to be a very active person . A person that did more than she should … now since the wd and the changes and horrible depression and anhedonia im changes . It’s not because I’m lazy it’s because I can’t simpely do the simple things when I am in the wave. I have help from an institution that take care of people with psychiatric problems . You have to join a big group 6 weeks and do daily stuff. After that they will see if you are able to do therapie. I have joined the group 2 times and after that a wave kicks in. I could feel it was too much for me . Now I don’t know do I have to push myself even in the darkest darkest days ( I really tried, believe me) or do I have to listen to my body and just stay home. I can’t find the strength to fight this depression I really can’t and when I’m feeling like this I really don’t want to be around other people?

Am I the only one guys?? Is anyone else also feeling what I’m saying ?

Lots of love

01-2018 fluoxetine 10 mg two weeks

02-2019 started Sertraline 150 mg with 10 sometimes 5 mg oxazepam for sleep- my sleep was not ok after 150 mg but I felt good

01-August 2025 in one moth quit Sertraline because of the symptoms (getting fat, tired and starting to feel some sadness)

12-2025 quit oxazepam

04-2026 because of major brain zap middle of the night started 25mg one week, up to 50mg next week and get depressed and quit. This was way too soon and a high dose.

I also started oxazepam again

You know, I want to share something what dr. Yosef W.D. mentioned many times in his videos. It happens that a person starts taking SSRI. At first she become quite energetic, but on the long term one phenomena happens, it's called professionally - tardive dysphoria. A person becomes: lethargic, totally unmotivated, apathetic, depressed, pessimistic, tired... The drug works short term like a stimulant but on the long term it causes burnout. In the end this person is misdiagnosed as someone with "treatment resistant depression", based on the fact that there is no effective drug for her "depression". Shortly, SSRI won't work forever... Maybe something like this happened to you...

And of course I can understand you! Something in your body is preventing you to react.

2009-2010: Sertraline (50 mg)

Absolutely not alone @Saar8srl the majority here including me experience this chemical depression among a host of other symptoms which makes sense given the fact that our brain was trapped in a strong dependence on chemicals that disrupt the proper functioning of neurotransmitters and receptors, now for every change the brain makes a huge effort to regulate which takes much longer than we want but it is a work in progress and eventually it will happen.

I am in favor of pushing but with extreme gentleness, it is difficult to find the right balance, it is so unpredictable and can pull us to the edge even more, see at a given time how you feel.

1998 forced on cipramil *no anxiety/depression background*

Over the years all kinds of SSRI/SNRI/antipsychotics/stabilizers due to apparently side effects/withdrawal

Many attempts to quit over the years with failure (extremely rapid taper followed by doctors' guidens)

Current attempt-Paxil 20 mg:

6/24 20 mg to 5 mg-severe AKA

9/24 Increase to 20-AKA continues

10/24 stopped completely-AKA out of control

11/24 Zoloft bridge attempt-25 mg to 75 mg+Seroquel-AKA continued-stopped them CT.

12/24 Back on Paxil 10mg (0.1789g)-some stabilization-from here tapered by about 30% each time (don't remember doses and dates).

2025 - 7.10 0.0558g (3.11mg)/7.11 3% 0.0541g (3.02mg)/4.12 1% 0.0535g (2.98mg)

Supplements:

Magnesium Glycinate - started 28.5.26 1 capsule 200mg in the morning - Increased brain fog and muscle stiffness - stopped after two weeks.

Iron - liquid, quarter of recommended dose - increased anxiety and burning sensation - stopped after two weeks.

I feel there is a huge distinction between "psychiatric" issues and withdrawal. Many of us will trigger a wave if we do too much, exercise to hard etc.

If this was a group that understood and specialized in withdrawal, that would be a different story but it's not.

I am a firm believer in letting your body set the pace. There are days I can't leave the house and can barely function... when I have pushed, it has made recovery slower for me through a wave. There are times I go out to walk and as soon as I am outside, I realize I can't do it, other times I walk.further than planned. Keep listening to.your body.

I’m so glad that you understand this. I feel so hopeless to tell others how I feel and that this is not a normal depression which will go away if you just do something.. if makes me doubt myself even more. The people in the group are depressed but I see them still laugh and participate. That makes me doubt myself that maybe I’m not cut out for this. That I’m not strong enough . Some tell me “ you never experienced depression before , this is it”. And those know my past and offcourse I didn’t have an easy life. But to be honest I really don’t think this chronic depression that I have is to be compared with a classic one. It’s hard when no one believes you. I used to have such a beautiful bound with my daughter. Now she lives elsewhere and I can only talk to her on the phone. I never thought that my life would be like this but I can’t even take care of myself let alone a kid. And that breaks my heart …

Be patient...this will get better.... definitely it is not "normal" depression. These drugs have taken us to depths of darkness we could have never imagined. Thankfully it is temporary. ❤️🙏

Hey

Sorry Im not clear about what you are wanting to do? So are you still taking 1mg? And are you planning on taking 2mg?

Can you confirm that your drug is 1mg for one drop using the built in dropper?

Ok, so you took 2 drops yesterday right?

Can you tell me the strength on the bottle? It should say something like 20mg/mL for example and it will state the dose per drop with the dropper too....

Ok that's what I expected.

Yes 0.1ml is 2mg of that solution.

So now what should I do? 2 drops or 0.1 from the syringe. Because I used to use the dropper and used 1 for 1 mg and now 2 for 2 mg yesterday. I just received the syringe but don’t know if I should use it or not. Today I used the syringe. Is it that much of a difference?

Nothing special until now. Last time my sleep was a little poor but nothing else really . But I’m only on day two . So let’s see . The waves and windows like usual and some head burning now but I use to have it now and then.

Ok, yeah so no major reaction, thats good. I think perhaps we we're right before, just a wave. Keep observing....
