I started taking them as soon as I got them. I feel relieved, sadly. I can’t help but feel relieved, guilty and also defeated because I let big pharma take hold of my mental health. It feels bad man. I want to taper off of them asap but I don’t know what I can replace my antidepressants with and I am terrified to have an episode again. Before I was medicated I was having episodes daily. They calmed down after I got an SSRI. 5 days without them and I had an episode and it was by far the worst breakdown I’ve had. I stressed my boyfriend out to the max because he was the one trying to calm me down. Feels really bad man.

Please please, get the book The Mood Cure. Read why and how to use amino acids to restore balance and sanity! Believe!! And, when you taper off, do it over a ridiculously long time. Trying to keep those brain things at very minimum. Everybody on that kind of meds knows what sensation in your head that is and how unpleasant. Matbe if you get your lexapro as a tablet not a capsule, you will be able to cut them as you slowly reduce your dose. Good luck, just be patient. Take it slow. And get the book. So important!
