Does anyone else here just feel like the biggest junkie in the world. What I've become is everything I always said I wouldn't become.
AD withdrawl has just turned me into a satanic monster.
There is no cure. I am willing to go through the worst hell for a very long time which just goes to show the intense hate I have towards these substances. The worst of it is that there is no progress. It literally never ends. Especially when you have been on them as long as I have.
In most ways I feel that I would rather die than go back on them.
What can be done. Is death my only option??
How is a society as sophisticated as our own so blind to this monstorous problem at hand ??
Why are we able to put a man on the moon, but not admit when we have created the fourth scourge of mankind. There is no life after paxil.My life is so dark, and the hate towards myself and others is so intense.
These drugs are so darn powerful, 5-htp is like comparing a candle to a forest fire.

And the loss of hope is unbeareable. Why oh why oh why ?
Why did I ever pop my first antidepressant.
I've tried every alternative for the withdrawl, but they are just SO weak.
Once I was off them as long as 6 months, but no matter what, there will always be a big hole in your life, a hole that can only be filled by taking an antidepressant.

Yeah well I havn't taken any SRI/SSRI/SNRI drugs, but I have had problems with other ones, in particular benzos and opiates. Know what you mean about the alternatives being so weak. For example I've had a problem sleeping for decades and not much has helped very much....you know, magnesium, glycine, taurine, inositol, niacinamide, zizyphus, skullcap, 5htp, melatonin, etc. Still I think that we should use these sort of things since they are the best we have and when neccesary minimal doses of pharmaceuticals. Somewhere here I asked if anuone had any experiences using 5htp and/or SAMe for SSRI withdrawal. 5htp not useful at all? No experience with SAMe? The medical profession is not real good with a whole lot of chronic/degenerative problems.
