i went a month cold turkey, i remember getting tingles in my hands and feed, brain zaps and anxiety. i thought the worst had past after i reached the 3 week mark however it hadn’t i ate healthy, i took vitamins, i went for walks but the anxiety attacks kept coming especially if i took any medicine like panodol, i would feel like i was going to die from taking it. i then suffered irritablity, i was snappy, angry and i couldnt stand anyone which made me depressed. i felt sucidal. i got so upset i went back on setraline however this time setraline didnt help me. the setraline hasnt reduced my anxiety and all its side affects have come back and i feel so depressed. since being on them i have felt worse than i felt before i ever started them and believe i would have managed better if i had just seen a physiologist and done cognitive behaviour therapy insetad.
now i feel dependent on the medicine however this will change, i will fix what these chemicals have done to my brain i will win.
