Scrountz Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I'm curious to know if there are ever any meetings organized where recoverees can come together to talk about their experiences, challenges and successes. Especially in this day and age of virtual meetings I wouldn't be surprised if something was already organized. Is this a thing already? 1998- Fluoxetine 2012- One dose of Escitalopram causes suicidal ideation. Started Venlafaxine. Successfully discontinued using a Fluoxetine bridge.
