this is in response to some shitty stuff i’ve seen on my dash recently. it’s super simplified, so if you’d like to know some more indepth stuff on how exactly it works, google it—OR BETTER YET actually talk to a mental health doctor psychiatrist person wow

I agree with all of this EXCEPT the not addictive part.  Withdrawal from SSRIs is real and can be a problem (I’m on an SSNRI and I get nightmares if I miss a dose).  Otherwise, yes.  On point.

Yeah, when I went off my anti-depressant to go to another one, I had heart palpitations and high blood pressure. I felt dizzy and sick, and I could barely move without feeling like I needed to throw up.
