Stopped taking meds nearly 7 months ago
Hello, I started taking antidepressants (SSRIs) and antipsychotics when I was 14. I took them for nearly 5 years for OCD, depression and anxiety.
I stopped taking meds 7 months ago with the psychiatrist's consent.
However, I am crying everyday for 4 months. I can't recognize my past self. I constantly get flashbacks from my past that I kinda forgot while I was on meds. Some of them are important or mean something to me but some of them are just like a flashback from a math class I took when I was 16.
I also noticed I was so stupid when I was on meds and I didnt even realized what is in front of me. I always just procrastinated everything. I didnt care about my relationships, education, career or health. Is it normal? Now that I noticed it, I dont want to go back to meds even I am depressed.
P.S: I have seen many good examples of people on SSRIs and experiencing a fulfilled life! It is just my personal experience and even this might be ocd! Please work with a professional and do what is best for you!
