I Went Cold Turkey On Antidepressants (Citalopram)
Need to stick together us normal people who are ruined by prescribed meds.
My doctor treats me like I’m a drug addict because I ‘keep asking for refills’ ? Like ? I thought that’s what we’re supposed to do when we run out ? 30 pills for 30 days, take once a day in the morning ? I’m just going to quit cold Turkey because I can’t stand being dehumanized every month when the bottle is empty.
I used pharmacy4u which lets you just click to refill and does it all online, so you don't have to directly ask for a refill each month. I hope this helps.
Warning DON'T STOP this is a no no, wean off very yery slowly decreasing medication by 10% hold for 3 etc etc weeks go back if you start to suffer by not doing so the consequences are metally and emotional devastating it's not where you want to go and don't be dissolutioned the symptoms can take 3 months to commence, this is isn't uncommon
I’m currently coming off venaflaxine cold Turkey.
Day four and finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. It’s rough.
If I knew this would happen I would never of taken it
same coming off paroxetine im having nothing but nightmares
How long were you on venaflaxine for?
Did you had withdrawl symptoms
how long did the withdrawal symptoms last? i'm on day 4 and it is hell. brain zaps, nausea, dizziness are torturing me
Same im on day 2 I was also taking venaflaxine
Glad to see you're quite well now. It can be very dangerous to quit right of. I would say let it take a year at least, that's my experience!
Came off every med out there. Withdrawals are so bad that doctors put me on another med.
I'm sorry to hear that
That’s what happens. I was taking klonopin 5+ years and had to take gabapentin. It suppressed my overactive CNS from the klonopin and eased my withdrawals. Just trading out meds. Don’t mess with depressants.
What medications were you on?
I was on Zoloft for one month. Was getting way too many side effects.. I’ve been off for 3 days.. dizzy light headed nauseous... threw up now I’m cold... it was just a month! Insane now I know y ppl who use serious drugs can’t stop... I’m writing this under the covers while it’s about 80 degrees rn.hope this doesn’t last longer than today
Have you called your Doctor?
I went to her before and told her I wanted to try the natural route and detox. She assured me that we would be fine and said “Zoloft” is not like that. I was prescribed 25mg but cut it in half since it was way to strong and even at that I was still getting side effects. Today I feel fine. Just drinking a lot to water just want to detox. She suggested kava kava, ginkgo biloba & omega 3 . Going to try all that once Zoloft is out my body. But thank you for asking!!!
@@ej6169 how you doing now?
@@ej6169 for how long did your symptoms last
The horror stories i could tell you about the NHS, carers, occupational therapists and disability equipment suppliers would make you furious that my brother has had to deal with, i do what your mum does and i tell them what they ARE going to do rather than let them fob me off to make their lives easier. Great video, very brave
I'm so sorry that your family have recieved terrible treatment
I made the same choice last week after my current bottle of lexapro ran out. I was in a horrible mental state two years ago and honestly did need the medication then, but I've had enough developments both in my life and within my mind that I don't need them anymore. It's kind of difficult; I feel dizzy a lot. However, it's by no means horrible. I'm perfectly capable of functioning still, and no relapses of any kind right now. It feels good knowing that these feelings, weird as they may be, are my body learning once again how to be functional by itself, without needing any unnatural chemicals to keep it in line. I don't like the feelings but I'm sure they'll go away soon. And they really aren't any worse than the feelings you get for a day after you donate blood, or few the several hours after you drink a few glasses of wine. A little longer lasting sure, but nothing I can't handle.
Your going to need to get back on them and do a slow taper if you want a decent smooth sailing I did a fast taper with 2 antidepressants wasn’t a fun but now I’m doing a lot more better a year later
@@alien-hs1zn it’s a few weeks later and I already don’t feel any symptoms anymore so I don’t feel any need to get back on them. I recognize that what I did isn’t the right choice in general, but I maintain it was the right choice for me.
@@caleb1413 I am doing the same now. Its the first days so I feel like I have the flu, tired , not being able to concentrate which makes me think how serious 20 mg Prozac is in our brain. I feel confident I will get better within 1-2 weeks.
@@TugrulCavusoglu How did you get on? Did you stay off them and of so how long did it take you to feel 'normal'? I went cold turkey 3 days ago as I could no longer tolerate the side affects. I've got a constant headache, brain zaps, feel dizzy, anxious and really irritable.

Do not ever quit cold turkey I did and I had a terrifying experience
How are you now
To late. Went cold turkey a month or 2 ago...
Yesterday my left arm was hard to move..
Today is a little easier to move.
Shadow Heartless I would go to the doctors if I was you.
Took a long time and alot of dangerous mental problems but i think im alot better
@@tfive1325 so you stayed cold turkey? what were the symptoms? how long did you take them? what were they?
I took duloxetine for 2 years after diagnosis of fybromialgia and depression (every other desease has been cut off after many examinations). Psychiatrist made me go off 30 mg cold Turkey on December. I started to feel in a nightmare again with all the possible withdrawals, mentally and physically. Now I am starting a natural/homeopathic therapy prescribed by a valuable doctor in my city, who said that antidepressants and their being cut in a sudden put my body in a high acidosis, so I need to alcalinise it. I hope I will solve all of this.
Hi! How you feeling now? You still have withdrawall?
The long term effects of ssri’s on your internal organs are catastrophic.Everything you take into your body orally has long term consequences so look first at your diet (go keto) then alcohol that has a devastating long term effect then recreational drugs ( a no brainier)
The problem you have starts with a trauma that is probably psychological then if unresolved manifests itself physically, that’s when people start to self medicate with all of the above and the problems are exacerbated. I am now fixing my self as allopathic medicine is just for profit. Use zeolite to cleanse your body of heavy metals and cbd for helping you through anxiety while you are coming off the very toxic prescribed drugs. Don’t give responsibility for your health away take back control. Good luck stay strong God bless 🙏
Keto is not safe stop giving false advice when youre unqualified
i hate my meds so much. they aren't working anymore and i dont want to go up a dosage. i keep getting brain zaps at night time. venalafixine sucks. im going to the dr on monday..
Am going cold turkey off fluoxetine, been off about 9 dayd its ptobably stupid of me but time will tell xx hope you are doing ok xx
i wish i never began with these medicines, i hate life sm rn.
I like your video. I can definitely relate to cold turkey experiences from abilify paxil and trazodone and they were like a nightmare.
How are you now? Did you ever overcome withdrawal symptoms?
Reinstate at lowest dose possible 1/20 of last dose. So if you had lexapro 10mg that would be .5 mg. With a mg scale it would be .007 grams or 7mg of the entire pill which weighs 136mg of which 10mg is active ingredient 126mg is filler material all evenly distributed throughout the pill. This will avoid any kindling and if you feel a benefit within 30 mins continue daily for at least 7 days.
This is if you have been months off cold turkey.
So I’ve been on Zoloft for about 7 years. After 4 years I lost my medical insurance and was just bumming the medicine off my mom who no longer took it and took a higher dose so I was just splitting them In half. 2 weeks ago I finally ran out and it didn’t occur to me that I would no longer be able to afford to take my medicine let alone get a new prescription. I will say that this is probably the most ill I’ve felt in many many years. I can’t get warm I cry at the slightest inconvenience every muscle in my body hurts. My temperature has been hovering at around 102 for 3 days now. Every time I take a breath I can feel it zap all the way up my body. Here’s to hoping this nightmare ends soon.
I hope it gets better soon
Kaylie are you doing better now? Hope you are!
im almost 2 weeks cold turkey.. kinda assumed it'd be gone by now. not crying everyday anymore just the normal amount now :/ haha. thinking i might go back on them though, not sure. havent been eating, sleeping and lost weight.
Thanks for the sharing of your experience... Glad you're doing better... Citalopram 20mg. I have been on it for 5 years and wanting to stop... Am undecided what is best way of getting off totally...
Wishing all well and safe journeys...
You’re gonna do great no matter what and keep fighting :)
I'm on Sertraline 50mg at the moment reduced from 150mg. Dealing with social anxiety and depression.
Haven't taken my pills for 2 days now, I'm trying to get off them. To be honest it is quite hard. Hope i wont dream anything creepy tonight, i have tried to get off medications before but no luck, hope I'll get through it this time 😊
george lupu make sure you tell you doctor because going cold turkey can be very hard and lead to a lot of nasty side effects
i did the same thing
nothing happened outside of a headache that lasted 3 days
I told my Psychiatrist that medication makes me suicidal and she did not warn me about it prior to starting SSRIS. I had better Psychiatrist in school, but I had Harm OCD, and started to get violent at home, my school blackmailed me into going back on medication when my psychiatrist weaned myself off little by little completely. Realy horrible to be told something like that.
I'm so sorry you went through this situation :(
@@justlaurenclare Yeah, my mom has destroyed my life, so has my dad. I have had so many medications cause me more depression, horrible side effects and suffering. Hospitals need to stop drugging children and these subjective ADHD tests are a trap when the "professional" asks if I should be put on medication, my mom said yes. But that idiot never adviced me or my mother a better solution and warned her of all the suffering I would go through. They just want money or unaware of the hellish nightmare. My mom said I need to go on one of the medications again after I told her many of the side effects. Could we chat 1 on 1 privately somewhere? UA-cam got rid of private messages a few years ago. It baffles me that UA-cam would get rid of it. Claiming "hardly anybody uses it" many people used it daily. Google just wants everything to be public to sell your information to their company to advertise more ads. I don't live with my mother anymore, but she still wants to control me after she got me my own apartment. Withholding my income that is coming soon from the government.
@@cooldude8912 are you doing better today? I hope you are.
Went cold turkey from mirtazapine paxil and fluoxitene all at once and a week of no sleep and went manic..it was crazy
I tried quit Prozac on my own over 30 times in last 15 years, didn't work , every time feel so hopeless and miserable.
How are you doing?
antidepressants made it so i can't even feel my own genitals i still can't and its been over a year not on them i only took 9 pills for 9 days too.
Same bro, boners but no sensation.
I'm gonna move to the uk just to hear that accent daily 😄
Hey you're beautiful. Warning you though Prozac withdrawal sucks. I almost threw up in the bus today.. It's all just poison. Not the answer. Only a short term crutch that we will have to pay for.
Daniel Thompson Hey, thank you so much. I'm on Prozac at the moment whilst doing therapy. In my opinion, that's been quite effective. :)
I went cold turkey almost 5 months ago off of escitilapram(lexapro). I had to go back on .5mg yes .5mg last week. the depression and suicidal thinking was just too strong it was terrifying i could not leave my room only to smoke cigarettes which i restarted after quitting 5 years ago. It has been 5 months of pure hell. I reinstated a week ago the smallest dose I could to avoid kindling. I ordered a mg scale and measured out .5mg of the active ingredient .007g or 7mg because a 10mg escitalpram pill actually weighs 136mg , 10mg is active ingredient and 126mg is filler material. All of it evenly mixed throughout the entire pill. So 7mg of 136mg is roughly 5% or .5 of 10mg start with that to avoid kindling if you have been off for a month or more. Once you go cold turkey your nervous system is scrambling to keep up with the sudden loss of external chemicals (pills) it can cause hypersensitivity to reinstatement. So go lowest dose possible first if it works you will alleviation of symptoms within 30 mins.
Camera- zoom in out zoom in out
Been on antidepressants for half my life. 50yrs old now on Zoloft. I want to stop completely.
So am i getting of ALL medications .
Do not take SERTRALINE ANTIDEPRESSANT ....BAD BAD
I felt the need to stop as well. However, I am checking out serotonin supplements, such as Travacor by Neuroscience (this massage is not sponsored :) ). It has 5-HTP, which is a direct precursor to serotonin, and also some GABA thing which is very important for mood. Check it out, I find it a much better stuff then antidepressants, and may help you regulate your mood. Just be careful when coming off, because in case od SSRI (such as Zoloft), you need some time to bring down the cycle of serotonin breakdown and absorption, because your cells are used to high concentration of serotonin, and are breaking it faster then usual. It take some time for then to lower the rate, in which you may experience very down mood, and some other symptoms. Just be aware of that.
d clunie same as ylu but really not a good idea to stop cold turkey when that long on them . I tried it and it was hell . I’m weaning slowly and that’s unbearable at times too . I have been in them years and years also
Taper
My mental health experiences have been horrifying though I have had electroconvulsive therapy also been on Risperidone Seroquel and effexor and I think I had a grand Mal seizure in my parents shower and I took a swing at my mom without realizing it so yeah I was a disaster.
Day 2 of going cold turkey from zoloft, Fuck yeah !
Congrats! I hope your feeling okay :)
@@justlaurenclare Never had a problem with depression till I started taking zoloft as I started taking it for anxiety. Can honestly say I feel so much better going cold turkey. FUCK SSRI'S they just make you lazy and depressed
I found you after I decided to go cold turkey of All of my meds I take bupropion 2x a day.. seroquel 2x a day hydroxyzine 3x a day as needed...trazodone at night... OMGOSH WRONG IDEA!!!
:O
Lauren C Thank You for your video though... alway you are very beautiful
The seroquel and the trazadone are really strong drugs.
Did coming off ever effect your period? I stopped my medication about three weeks ago, and now my period is late:/
I feel like going cold turkey. I'm already tapering but I'm feeling horrible my antidepressants never helped and made me worse. I feel like going cold turkey. Is it a good idea? When I went to Indian psychiatrists they're so crap they brainwashed me to believe I was okay. I was not. I felt so sick. Now..I'm on my own and idk we what to do.
I'd speak to your doctor again and really push fo how you feel and your concerns.
I take Remeron for weight gain and as an antidepressant. Helps me tremendously to get to a healthy weight. When I mess with my dose it is not good.
Hey I take it for weight gain and anxiety but what I’ve notice when i got to the weight I wanted I kept gaining and gaining even though I ate healthy . I know this is a year ago but how have you found it ?
I’ve been on sertraline for a year and i’m thinking about going full cold turkey because in all honesty i’ve never experienced withdrawal symptoms. Well okay, I may have, but i was never anything that i felt was disruptive.
I forget to take my daily dosages frequently and sometimes i miss it 3 days in a row and then take a pill just because I fear that i’ll feel like shit if i don’t. So now i’m going to try to just stop completely because taking the pills is truly an afterthought and chore for me.
And the side effects are horrible. I’d rather deal with my social anxiety than to be numb everywhere.
Make sure you tell your doctor!
Hey hope you are okay now.....did you had withdrawn symptoms
Thank you for this info.
No worries!
I went cold Turkey more than 6 months ago. I felt like I handled it well. I did get a weird dizziness. But as this coronavirus stuff is happening, I'm diving fast. Can it still effect me even being such a long time. I'm really feeling bad but I know I dont want to feel this way. I just need help. But I dont know what or how.
Hey I'd call 111 - The NHS hotline
Explain your symptoms to them and the issues that you are feeling. They have been very supportive in the past.
Reinstate at lowest dose possible 1/20 of last dose. So if you had lexapro 10mg that would be .5 mg. With a mg scale it would be .007 grams or 7mg of the entire pill which weighs 136mg of which 10mg is active ingredient 126mg is filler material all evenly distributed throughout the pill.

I stopped taking lexapro like…weeks ago and for the past 4 days I have not been getting sleep pretty much at all..if I do it’s micro sleep..or 1 hour at a time. I’m also have hot sweats and had heart palpitations yesterday. I stopped because I hated my psycharist and he treats me like child… I also thought I didn’t need it anymore..it was stupid of me. Should I go back on it even though it’s been weeks?? Like almost a month of being off of it? Please help
Please speak to your doctor they will help
@@justlaurenclare until I’m able to get an appointment with them should I start taking it again? I’m just really desperate to sleep…idk how I’m still functioning..
Do not cold turkey I just did that after one year of being on tintellix I almost killed myself and everyone around me don’t do it!
6mg of ativan a day
I literally forgot where the fuck my lexipro was and didnt intend for this to happen so the insurance made me wait another day and now im experiencing sweats, nausea, my vision is a bit blurrier, I cant think clearly etc. oh and obviously mood swings which are the least of my problems now.
It’s not that bad, i wish I got off it months ago
How long did it take u to feel better
I was on pristiq for 10 years at the age of 15 :( went cold turkey on accident about 7 months ago, life is hard now and I don't know if I should go back on them or go to therapy or if being on them for so long had damaged me in some way :(
First, let me just say thank you for reaching out. I'd say first alert your doctor that you've gone cold turkey and ask for therapy if it is an option along with a counter anti-depressant to help with the withdrawal symptoms. This is my opinion and I'm not medically trained but I alerted them went I went cold turkey and therapy helped a lot in my experience. I hope it works out for you. :)
@sayara sami I'm still off them, honestly I feel a bit better than when I posted this comment :) however I haven't dealt with my anxiety completely I'm about to start soon so I think that's why I'm still suffering symptoms, it does get better though :)
@@Ffrenchyyx anxiety never goes away it stays with u. Ssri can only help with extreme anxiety disorders not milder ones
I was on antidepressants and also quit them cold turkey. I forget which ones they were since it was so long ago. They must have been super effective because I went from being super introverted to being extroverted. Like to an annoying level where I was loud/hyper and obnoxious, very care free but lacking self awareness. Decided to quit them because I felt unbalanced. Nothing happened afterwards for me. Luckily haven't fallen back into any deep depression, only small amounts of time of feeling down which I would get over within a couple days. Still have bouts of social anxiety but have been able to cope with it better, depending on the situation. I did have a couple of therapy sessions which were nice. Always good to talk and work out your problems with a professional, but that shit be expensive. I feel most balanced and least anxious after working out or doing physical activity. I need to do it more often but of course, I'm lazy as fuck and addicted to sitting on my ass consuming video games and the internet. Thanks for making this video. Hopefully we all can progress and learn how to cope with our issues.
which antidepressants had you taken ? what were your withdrawals and for how long ?
Same with me in a way. I knew it would have withdrawals but I been off of it for a month and not once did I feel anything. Tbh I had a hard time feeling anything different I was on and off I'm like "does it really work? ." And till this day idk but I just had a wake up call at the end of March. I basically kicked myself in the butt into being way more productive etc. I just said to myself I ain't going nowhere if I just sulk, so I slowly began working on fixing my problems on my own. And here I am in May I feel the heaviness, self doubt, hateful thoughts towards myself etc just gone, plus I don't have self harm urges. I guess you could say I had a "Spiritual awakening" but with my mental health. Now I gotta go bk and tell my doctor and I'm a little worried. I haven't told anyone I just quit cold turkey bc I didn't want drama. But I'm planning on telling him because, what's the point in lying?
My plumbing now works. I would not have told you this, if I had not quit the citalapram. I was holding everything in.
@@crazyanimefrenzy for how long were you on it
Thank you for this video😊
Very good info if you want clarity in the space of “ssri brain”.
I’ve been taking wellbutrin 150mg for over 6 months I don’t have the money to go to the doctor so I have to go off it cold turkey. I don’t have a choice. Hopefully I won’t die! Wish me luck
Update?
Wellbutrin does not have that bad of a withdrawal I did a two week taper 300mg no withdrawal symptoms at all
I came into this seeking information on what to do to come off anti-depressants but, might I say you have lovely eyes!
I quit cold turkey and still suffer side-effects 1.5 years later
I’m so sorry hope your doing better
As a mental health professional, that receptionist was so very wrong. Withdrawal symptoms are always high priority. I’m sorry that happened to you, be well dear.
Thank you ❤️
Are you a phsychiatrist?
I quit antidepressants on day 2 of taking, how long will withdrawal symptoms last any idea, need to be mentally prepared
I’d speak to your doctor
Cit-tal-o-pram
I was 3 weeks on Prozac with headaches and major anxiety just thinking about small stuff like what I should get my gf for her birthday and hoping she likes it! (Never been an anxious person, actually quite the opposite)
I hear it takes 1 month for it to take effect so idk if I really went cold turkey but I’m glad nothing happened. I have an appointment with my doctor in 3 days to discuss my other health issue and the progress of Prozac (which I stopped).
My doctor recommended Prozac because I told him I didn’t have much energy from a chest pain I’ve been dealing with the last year. I didn’t want to be dependent on something but I gave it a shot after my doctor told me that anti-depressants have a stigma around then and it’s nothing to worry about. The above is why I regretted it. Just my experience and not advice!
Did you went cold turkey?
Did you had withdrawl symptoms

Ignoring urgent cases and having to get your parents to contact the GP is actually normal.
That’s because the receptionists are trained to fob people off so that anyone who is homeless never gets treated it’s not just where you are this happens all over the country.
The moment you calling in with someone else they take it seriously, because they know that there are legal consequences for them that you have a support network.
if of course you’re homeless you can’t get a solicitor no one will help you and you never get any help and that’s why they’re trying to do it it’s a form of eugenics for the disposal shoot of society which is homelessness.
I know that’s a controversial hot take, but I’ve seen it firsthand it’s a much bigger problem in the UK than anyone wants to acknowledge.
You can’t blame the receptionist, they don’t know why they’re doing what they’re doing they’re just doing what they’re trained to do.
I AM SO SCARED. I regret getting on them and I want to get off .
It’s okay, if you do feel that way then please ring your doctors and explain that to them :)

I stopped taking 200mg sertraline, 80 mg propranolol and 7.5mg zopiclone a day cold turkey about a week ago, the first 2-3 days i felt so much better, i was eating more after having no appetite since starting a year ago, i have severe insomnia (zopiclone was meant to help but didnt) so sleep is still non existant, i felt more up and more productive, now i feel so up and down, im getting really angry over the smallest things which i hate, my mood changes in a split second both ways, happy to sad/angry and vice versa, im feeling really sick on and off randomly but not throwing up, one minute i feel full of energy the next im exhausted but still cnt sleep, i know if youve read this far youre probably thinking you idiot taper off them slowly etc, however.. my gp is no very reliable when it comes to medication and getting proper help, i have had multiple issues that i wont go into with the gp, the reason i went cold turkey is because im a single parent of 2 young children (the oldest full custody youngest 50/50) and i honestly feel so ashamed to admit this but the medication completely shut off positive emotion and feelings.. i struggled to connect and felt very detattched from everything around me and it was beginning to ruin the relationship with my children, i love them more than the world but i felt numb and not good enough for them.. so i stopped and things were on the up and going really well, however now im angry all the time and lose my temper quick, i never smack my children but today i snapped and shouted at them and seeing their little faces broke my heart, i cuddled them and appologized so much but it was completely unfair and now i dont know what to do and if this is temporary or il continue to feel like this, i dont want to feel numb and i dont want to be a ticking timebomb, any advice from people would be greatly appreciated!! Please dont troll for my shitty behaviour, im honestly just a single dad who loves his kids trying his best but its tough out here and i dont know the best step forward, all i want is the best version of myself so i can be the best dad i can and make their lives amazing again!
Why troll? I feel for u ❤,hope u r doing well now
@@blossompure i wasnt trolling? Im doing much better since being off of my medication life in general is much better, alot of the issue is people focus on being depressed and that its ok to feel depressed when in fact 99% of the time there are factors in your life making you feel a certain way, working through the things making you depressed is much more beneficial in my experience than masking the problem with medication and constantly talking about being depressed, id have a good day and then see my counsilor and talk about things and feel depressed again, different people with different mindsets i suppose, all i know is it worked for me, im feeling better than i was 6 months ago and made so much more progress in my life
I m on prozac+ ecitalopram ,,gained 10 KG ,,WANT TO QUIT but i m unable to
Please speak to your doctor
