Obviously I guess you'd expect me to respond. :)
Anyhow, I think that long term meds just made things a lot worse. It started when I was 16ish when I was put on SSRI's. For 5 years I suffered with a horrable quality of sleep, waking up almost every 20 minuates in panic.
Since stopping I have had problems with excessive sleeping, probably my body still trying to catch up.
Other problems persist like: drug induced movement problems, ballance problems, sleeping problems, sexual problems, cognative problems, anhedonia worse that prior to drugs, persistant visual disturbances, speech problems, panic attacks (I never had panic just depression)
I feel that they have dammaged my brain, and stunted my developement.
Going back, I would have first started with intense CBT, and started on omega-3. I just wish sombody had told me about omega-3 back then.
