Antidepressant Meds
Welcome to our community of support for those coping with mental health challenges. Many of us take antidepressants prescribed by doctors to help manage conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and panic disorder. This is a space to share experiences, find information, ask questions, and encourage one another.
We aim for open and constructive dialogue. Please be thoughtful and kind. Rude or abusive language will not be tolerated. Our focus is on learning, growing, and walking together through difficulties.
Professional medical advice is irreplaceable. Consult your physician before making any changes to medication routines. Improper antidepressant use can be dangerous. We are here to support you on your journey toward mental wellness, not replace doctors.

Still getting the 'brain zaps' 3 years after quitting escitalopram (which when I first quit felt like someone gripping my head and shoving it forward really roughly but now just kind of feels like a muscle spasming in my brain?). No one believed me and, no offense to anyone who takes them, but I'll never do that to myself again.
