When I first started taking antidepressants, I was pretty ill with suicidal ideation, and the Prozac really helped me. I would never suggest that meds are unnecessary for some people, because they absolutely were for me. But I decided after nearly 15 years on antidepressants, I would stop taking them. My physical self and my circumstances have changed a great deal since starting the meds. I had already tapered down to a low dosage of both Prozac and Welbutrin, and I first quit the Prozac and then the Welbutrin a week later. It's been around three weeks and I do have a bad cold so that might be part of a kind of withdrawal. I feel okay emotionally though. I definately find that weed helps me :jointsmile:
I have a bit of a distrust of pharmaceuticals, I admit. I don't think all the possible contraindications are always thoroughly tested. So I am growing my own medicine now:hippy:
