I can't get off the stuff cause I am addicted to it, and I am more suicidal than ever because of the extreme and apparently permanent side effects I am suffering. I wish I had never taken an antidepressant in my life. I can say that with more cetaintly than I've said anything else.

>What do you mean you're addicted to ad's?? Are you on an SSRI?? How can one get addicted to being apathetic , mindless , emotionless to sum it up feeling completely sub human.. just curious. I'd say I am addicted in the sense that my brain seems to depend on it to function as when it is devoid of a serotonin booster i'm not depressed but I feel extremely slow , I have trouble speaking...etc.. it's like my body depends on it to function normally or something..
