Topic: Should I go back off my meds?

Anonymous A started this discussion 6 months ago #127,976

As was expected based on family members' experiences with the same medication, I have gradually become an emotionless zombie generally detached from the experience of life. I feel like a spectator merely watching my life go by, rather than an active participant. I am like an insect driven by instinct, responding automatically to stimuli without really thinking or rationalizing. I'm just doing.

These meds were instrumental in helping me get through a really bad time but I'm wondering if it's time to try raw dogging life for a spell.

What meds are they? (Or is this just a riff on the other thread lol)

Sertraline (Zoloft). The thread was inspired by the other one lol but no this is sincerely something I've been contemplating for several months now

That's life. If you think you had a different experience before the meds that's because our brains do a post hoc rationalization of events. You do, and then maybe your brain wants to take credit for it, maybe it doesn't. Either way, you didn't come up with anything, it simply happened and you're along for the ride.

If you would be doing so under the guidance of a psych or doc, then sure. Why not. You can always resume if you feel the need, right?
