I took an SSRI for the better part of 2 years and I really didn't benefit from it. I wasn't having as much suicidal ideation, but I also wasn't having anything else. I was also consuming boatloads of THC in any form available as an attempted dodge from emotions, which probably didn't help. I have no vibrant memories or treasured experiences from that time period and the whole thing seems like one big blur in hindsight.

How long was the weaning period until you were off and without effects? And if I haven't pryed enough, what was your dose?

I think 25mgs once a day. And it took about two weeks for the headaches and dizziness that I associated with going off-drug went away. I still don't feel 'normal' whatever that means.
