My history: 12 years ago I came off Fluoxetine over approximately 2-3 weeks, after having been on it for around two years. I did this independently of medical advice and am aware that this was a mistake. I began to feel detached, demotivated and as if I was in a zombie state. At the time and since I felt like I had lost connection with myself and the world around me. 12 years later, I still feel a strong sensation of what I felt back then, as if my brain never reformed its connections. My instinct is that the disconnect feels strongest with the frontal part of my brain

My question is: could I have cut off any number of parts of my brain by withdrawing too quickly, and if so, should I have expected these areas to have recovered at least partly, or could they have just remained in whatever zombie state I've been feeling?

I don't just mean that you lose hearing ability, I mean that everything you hear loses its subtlety, clearness and nuance. Knowing that birdsong or my favourite music will never be the same is tough

Do you ever see a video and just think that the vibe is totally off? Watching a Mythical video (roast battle between Josh and Shayne) and the whole thing has the strangest atmosphere

I could have been fine, I should have been fine, but I didn't do the thing that would have made me fine. And nobody in my life ever made sure that that thing would happen so that I would be fine
