LegoLisa Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 How do you get over the guilt of going on these meds and then tapering? I'm realizing going on and off has caused serotonin toxicity and withdrawal symptoms that have affected my loved ones terribly. The guilt is unbearable. I've apologized so many times. No one blames me but I blame me. I keep looking back and see so much turmoil that could have been avoided if I never started with these meds. 😭 Lisa Celexa 40mg - for 15 years.
