KjSwantko
05.13.12 | then maybe you should stay on it? |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | i didnt write a single poem, or play a single note on my guitar while i was on that shit. fuck it. |
gervin
05.13.12 | I'm on Lexapro and yeah it kinda turns you into a zombie. No emotions |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | it didn't really kill my emotions, it just killed my creativity |
KSK1
05.13.12 | I use to take adderall but stopped for similar reasons. I'd rather struggle with concentration than be a zombie all day. |

05.13.12 | I was on antidepressants when I was younger and nothing could make me sad or upset me. It was actually pretty kick ass looking back |
Satellite
05.13.12 | oh and yeah if you try to quit it cold turkey you are a fucking idiot. talk to yr doctor and he'll ween you off of it. otherwise enjoy feeling like absolute shit. |

05.13.12 | Smoke weed. |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | thanks for the supportive words satellite |
Satellite
05.13.12 | any time
i speak from experience, though. i tried going off paxil cold turkey and it was a super bad time. not sure if this is an issue with prozac, but i'd get these jolts (hard to explain, honestly) and cold sweats on top of being super bummed. |
wabbit
05.13.12 | Also maybe don't listen to tom waits and lightning bolt when you don't want to feel like a crazy person. |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | im either super uplifted or super doomdriven, and i have to be around friends. today, i am not around friends, so im pretty much loco |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | fuck that, i am a crazy person, im a manic depressive, i need songs that help me identify with how im feeling |
eternium
05.13.12 | Smoke weed.
Seriously helps. |
gervin
05.13.12 | Did you ever take something like Klonopin or Ativan for panic attacks |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | i would if i could get any out here... but im stuck in rexburg idaho, at a mormon university, surrounded by retards... |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | im not taking any more pills. theyr dangerous, and i only took it in the first place cuz this school forced me too |
Spec
05.13.12 | You have to go down slowly over at least a months time. |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | how long will it be before im not crazy again? or atleast just as messed up as i was before i took that shit.. |
GuanoBumbershoot
05.13.12 | Hey man, I took a group CBT program a while ago, and that did the world for me. Look into it if your interested. |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | ill check it out |
ffs
05.13.12 | antidepressants are depressing |
MunsuLight
05.13.12 | Go with Paxil man. Probably the best thing for these kind of problems. Worked for 2 members of my family and they're not zombies.
Only downside of it... gaining weight even when eating normally (my 2 family members did gain weight)
Or like Spec said... try to stop it gradually |
Spec
05.13.12 | Since anti depressants I've had no personality. And I've been off them for over two months. |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | god damn |
Spec
05.13.12 | :[
I don't know if it was even worth it. |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | if what was worth it? quitting? |
Spec
05.13.12 | Dunno. Anyways on the bright side I've read a lot about the zombie effects lasting for months after but it shouldn't be forever. |
DallyLama
05.13.12 | fuck it |
Spec
05.13.12 | The brain shocks maaaan |
exredhouseresident
05.13.12 | just make a goal for yourself to, in a years time or so, not make yourself anxious so often. recondition yourself to take deep breathes and focus on how to effectively handle a situation once you begin getting anxious. you'll be fine. |
exredhouseresident
05.13.12 | and go vegan straight edge. sXe for life motherfuckers. eating bagels laden with frozen almond milk bits and cashew oil....ALL FUCKING DAY SON |
DallyLama
05.14.12 | but i like burgers and drugs |
Hankpym
06.18.12 | I think you should taper off. Stopping suddenly can be very harmful.
