I took SSRIs briefly when I was around 22. I was so depressed that I would lay in bed for most of the day. I had to drop all of my classes. I almost got fired from my night shift job. So I went to the family doctor and based on very little he gave me Zoloft. I took it and it made me feel like a zombie. I used that time to force myself to do things that scared me like fly by myself to another city and stay in hostels, and sign up for acting classes. Things that made me so nervous that it felt like I would puke.
My self therapy worked pretty well and I was tired of being a zombie who couldn't cum. So the follow up appointment with my doctor after the prescription ran out, I asked to get off of it. He was surprised. He actually said he was going to INCREASE the dose, as he typically does. He wouldn't let me get off of it so he gave me half the dose. I stopped taking it by myself before I ran out of pills, I just threw them away.
