How the fuck do I get off this stuff. I've been on it for well over a decade for Anxiety and it makes me feel like shit. It works, but it feels like I'm just a zombie going through life. I've tried getting off of it but the withdrawal is fucking awful. I'm planning on tapering off extremely slowly. Currently on 40mg, will go down to 30 for like 6 months, then 20 etc. Is there anything that can help take the edge off withdrawal? Its mostly the brain zaps that are just unbearable. I lift 3 times a week. Also taking magneseum and fish oil.

This is political because I want to stop paying the pharmajew.

Anon...I....

why not check into rehab facility for a month and go cold turkey? they will keep you alive and get you through the worst of the withdrawal

>>512594387 (OP)
Yeah these are very addictive drugs
Tapering off extremely slowly is what I heard, could take YEARS

Use escitalopram instead

The shit has a withdrawal. You need to talk to your doctor to get gradual lower doses until you're off. Sucks to be you.

Since i turned to Jesus, my anxiety and depression are almost non existant. I spent my 20s drunk and on drugs and was constantly in intense fight or flight anxiety. But since i found Jesus i dont worry about anything except doing the right thing.

1000mg of fish oil daily does what prozac does. Surely its the same with your non sense.

Take omega 3, vitamin d3 and ashwagandha bro

Sounds great!

Thanks anons. Will definitely look into your suggestions.

>>512594387 (OP)
you just have to suffer through the withdrawal anon. Quit cold and for good.

>but but that would be unpleasant, even dangerous
so is continued dependency

Why don’t you be more introspective? Face your worst fears and come to terms with them? This shit just blocks your receptors anon. You can’t unhook yourself by gradually diminishing your intake. Your withdrawal is the anxiety attack itself amplified by your own brain. There’s only one way you can legitimately overcome anxiety and you are going to go through hell for postponing your obligations to your own soul (and when I say soul, I meant it not to be in the religious zealousness kinda way, but in a Jungian kind of way, if you know what I’m saying)

Just like you I suffered from anxiety attacks due to deep seated trauma. I used to be filled with bitterness for being born here; now consider it a blessing, as had I been born in an affluent country where taking prescription drugs for psychological problems is the norm, I would have been more fucked than you, for sure. I truly pity people like you who have been deceived by conspirators of the ruination of society. My heart goes out to you, anon.

The moment you read this post, anon, you are going to begin undergoing your own dark night of the soul, because I’m very sure you will. The vibes just tell me so. Good luck to you anon.

Don't be a fucking pussy. Lower your dose and quit. It's ot even real withdrawals. You will be fine, your head just spins a lil bit and you get brain zaps? It's nothing get over it pussy.

Consider yourself lucky you didn't take Xanax or something
