So last December I(18m) manned up and bought antidepressants myself! Good on me I got the few months prescription after my dad spent time saying and convincing me it was a bad idea!
4 almost 5 days ago I ran out of my current prescription. And for some god damn reason I agreed to try going without them at my DAD'S request.
Stupid ass decision? Absolutely.
Am I suffering the consequences just 4 days cold turkey? Yes yes I am.
I have had chills twice, the reawakening of my dissociative episodes, my chronic pain being twice as bad to the point I am reaching points of needing my cane more actively. Sleeping is difficult cause you guessed it! The symptoms are back with a vengeance at full force and I am barely handling it!
I said to my dad "oh I'll be off for a month to see if I'm fine without them"
Unsurprisingly for everyone except me(and maybe my dad) I am in fact not fine. At all. I am coping but barely. I texted my mental health providers to get me out of this stupid ditch as I learn the hard way why you DON'T go off antidepressants cold turkey!
Lesson learned I suppose.
Tldr: I got off antidepressants cold turkey and now know why you SHOULDN'T DO THAT.
