    disclaimer: i don’t advise doing this, just asking for advice!

    has anyone just stopped taking their meds (antidepressants) and feeling a lot better? i have been taking venlafaxine for over a year now and the last few months were some of my hardest i’ve ever had to endure. felt like they didn’t help me at all or even worsen my quality of life due to side effects. went to speak with my doc but she even wanted to up the dosage. i’ve tried several other meds but they didn’t work for me at all. last three days i’ve just not been taking my meds and feeling a lot better and clearer in my head, except for being super dizzy at times like i legit have to sit down for a few minutes or i’ll fall over lmao. i know you’re supposed to slowly lower the dosage and not just quit cold turkey, but since i’m already a couple days in, am i good to go?

    Absolutely not bro. The withdrawal symptoms take time to start, but can be abysmal, especially after long term use. Get your doc to wean you off properly

    Why u feel guilty?

    Peep my recent thread. Basically my mom guilt trips me into not caring about mental health stuff. Real lame s*** but she can’t help it cus she’s African. But goddamn what am I supposed to do with myself when I can barely go outside because of anxiety…
