Wow! Good luck on finals.I was really glad to see the posting -- someone else has thought about this in the same way as I have. I am highly suspicious of certain physical health problems that I developed suddenly after starting or quitting an SSRI. In addition, I wonder if the stimulus has weakened my adrenals. In a short period of time, I have become much older-looking and feeling.
I wish I would have known the potential dangers 10 years ago. I may not have used these drugs.
My plan is to visit a highly qualified M.D. who develops treatment programs based on the health of the endocrine system, immune system, and symptoms that a patient has. He has a strong nutritional basis, and is not fond of drug therapies.
Are you feeling good riding things out?
