Some of you probably know of the difficult and rather painful process of beginning a life with anti-depressants. It takes quite awhile for your body to adjust to the pills and their effects. But once you have adjusted, life can be quite fine.
I was on anti-depressants (this last time) for about 1.5 years. I have been trying to ween myself off since December 2007. Its been a LONG process. Right now I'm on the lowest dosage every other day. The day I'm on is pretty good. Just mildly dizzy. But the day I'm off is bad. I'm super dizzy and sick feeling.
And that's part of the reason why I decided to quit taking them. I hate to be tied to a drug that has such control on my physical well being. I hate to think that missing one day will knock me off my feet. And truth be told, I can function just fine without them.
But let me just say from first-hand experience, quitting your anti-depressants is one hell of a long, miserable process!
