The topic of SSRIs was brought up near the end of the last bread. As an individual taking them, how do I taper off as quickly and safely as possible?

In all honesty, I didn't feel an effect until about 1 month of taking them and even then it wasn't a significant effect. Life just felt less shitty. What I'm taking is Escitalopram which is the generic for Lexapro. I started at 5mg the 1st week, then 10mg the second week then 15mg about the 4th or 5th week. I started back to 10mg and plan for 5mg mainly b/c it caused my sex drive to be kill. I don't want to feel castrated in order to go along my daily routine.

I don't even want to get to how I ended up taking them. I came too close to ending it all, but I got through the other side in one piece. I only took them, b/c I was such in a shit state and desperately needed help. Now that I'm "better", I want to taper off while simultaneously informing myself of the subject.

Jesus fucking Christ. I've only been on for maybe two months now. How permanent can it be already?

I know they are not all evil which is why I agreed in the first place. I'm trying to find shrooms and see where that goes.

Duly noted, I'm tapering off 5mg at a time

Thank you for your words

I appreciate your honesty and I hope things turn out better on your end.

Back to lurking for me. Will definitely pickup the breadcrumbs on SSRIs and LSD since it falls under the topic of BIG PHARMA and it affects me personally.

I love every anon here. Godspeed and we're all going to make it.
