The things that keep me away from SSRIs are the potential for addiction and not being able to take psychedelics.
I had a friend on SSRIs not tell us they were on them when they hit a DMT vape pen at a party years ago and they got serotonin syndrome. Had I known I would have warned them not to.
- nerdsniper 8mo agoIt's more "dependency" than "addiction". No one's waking up jones-ing for another hit of their SSRI. Dependency works well because some people are dependent on it like I am dependent on glasses/contacts.
- wincy 8mo agoWhatever the word, getting off of them is not fun. It took 6 months after getting of Paxil to stop feeling like I was being dropped down an elevator shaft at random times day and night.
- throwforthings 8mo agoYeah, that's fair, there's not really a loss of control so dependency is probably the better term. Still, if you go off of them I've seen people get rocked with physical symptoms. I really try to avoid anything that would have such an affect on me physically.
