Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 JW, I'm no doctor but if you have survived coming off all of the SSRI antidepressants without any major mishap your a very lucky person and I'm glad you made it. Usually I have noticed with any withdrawal of drugs like nicotine and alcohol and even weed that I spent up to 6 months being grumpy and/or a pain to be around. I would keep on doing what your doing and talk to a real doctor but personally I would focus on vitamins and minerals and excercising everyday. I hope that will pull you through. Most actual non-psychiatric real doctors are becoming aware of the dangers of at least the antidepressants but a good list of Dr.'s that I can point you to is: www.alternativementalhealth.com Jim Quiting Lexapro > > > > I'm new to the group.
