personal update: yeah i'm kinda going thru it right now. and by "it", i mean SSRI withdrawals

(ive been on sertraline/zoloft for Years, & recently decided to try Not being on it anymore. so ive been gradually tapering off it over the past ~month and a half. i'm in the home stretch now & ooh boy i am feeling the Effects. the good news is that my withdrawal symptoms havent been TOO debilitating, and it shouldn't be too long before my body adjusts to being ssri-free and then all of this will be over!!!! yippee)

#ray's art #gradually tapering off medication is supposed to help minimize withdrawal symptoms. but it sure doesnt eliminate them #and ssri withdrawal symptoms are WEIRD. dizziness and brain zaps are big ones. such an interesting experience #ive dealt w/ withdrawals before due to issues getting my prescription renewed in the past.... not fun lol #it's honestly so much more bearable this time around because im doing this to myself by my own free will & it'll be over soon enough #& hopefully i'll be ok without these meds & then i'll never have to worry about getting this particular prescription filled ever again yaay
