I decided to go unmedicated from SSRIs/mood stabilizers in 2024 and it changed my life for the better. Prior to stopping, I thought I was physically unhealthy until I found out excessive overheating & exhaustion was a common side effect of Zoloft. Since then, I've lost around 40 pounds and have been able to regularly exercise without issues. My mental health also improved with forcing myself to get vitamin D outside. It can be the simplest of things to improve your life, but it can be easy to forget (especially WFH).
Definitely. It wasn’t too bad, but it took roughly a month for the brain zaps to completely stop with Zoloft & Wellbutrin. I had worse brain zaps in the past from Lexapro, that was bad enough I’d lose focus on whatever task I was doing.
