So proud of you, that's fantastic. Thank you for sharing and good luck with tapering off those SNRI. Unless you are migrating to a new treatment, this is the pain of success!
Thank you! I am switching to a different treatment but it's definitely still a success. This SNRI was a sledgehammer of a med that prevented me from dying by suicide. Now that I'm doing better, I'm happy to switch back to a gentler med with fewer side effects. No more suffering from med "hangovers" :)
I'm glad you came through it! Sometimes a sledgehammer is the tool you need.
Oh man med hangovers are terrible, and side effects are a bitch. It's worth feeling human again though!
Just want to throw out a quick congratulations, I'm happy you're here for us to have crossed paths
