I have been on SSRI's for about 25 years.  I stopped taking them without taping. My GP has given me Propanolol to help with my anxiety.  Any comments on the way forward.  I have some manageable withdrawal symptoms.   I have been off these tablets for about 6 weeks.

Welcome, Deep.

 

What were you taking? What are your withdrawal symptoms? Have they been better or worse over the last 6 weeks?

 

A lot of people find fish oil and magnesium supplements helpful, see

Try a little bit of one at a time to see how it affects you.

Hi and thank you. 

 

I was on Prozac mostly. In the last 6weeks my symptoms of withdrawal have been pretty stable. I get a little anxious and very tired by early evening. Feel hungry first thing in the morning.   I am praying I will be one of the lucky ones with no long term chronic symptoms.  Who knows!

 

i would appreciate further input please. Love San Fran been there many times. I live in London UK.

Hi 

I’m worried that after 6 weeks CT my withdrawal will become worse. Is this a given or could I be lucky.
