This crashing period has been pretty rough and some mental sides, like depression, suicide ideation and anhedonia, are preventing me from doing a lot of things that are required to do in the protocol to get better.
What are your thoughts on taking Fluvoxamine alongside L acetylcarnitine and a sleeping AID? A doctor who apparently has treated PFS before recommended me this.
Has any of you taken any sorts of SSRI in your journey?
Will this make the matters worse and fuck up my recovery?
Just from having read SSRIs can themselves induce PFS I'd steer well clear.
Horrible idea. All or nothing...that's how this works. There is no middle ground here.Quote:

The medication i was taking was Luvox.
I just took it due to my family forcing medication on me and somewhat being desesperate due to the side effects.
I'm not a doctor, but two days isn't long enough to cause a serious problem if you discontinue now. Better now then later.Quote:

In the first one I was given quietapine for a week and I discontinued shortly after. In the second one, near august, I was given Olanzapine and I took it for nearly a month, I tappered it down. In the last one they gave me Rispiridone which also I took it for a month or so. Then I found the shrink that told me I wasn't crazy and he just gave me aripripazole, stopped it after 2 weeks or so.
As you see CD, I'm really convoluted by all of this.
Do you think aside of the PFS i grabbed PSSD?
none of those drugs are antidepressants so why would you think you have PSSD? it's pretty messed up that they kept giving you antipsychotics if you're not schizo or bipolar though.Quote:

In terms of PSSD, i'm just afraid of developing it after 2 days of using Luvoxamine, given that I've already crashed.
Ok...So you either have to try and see, or be stuck forever. Those are your options. Living naturally in most cases is always going to be the right thing to do.Quote:

You're not getting the most out of the program by using them. As long as you understand that.Quote:

I had been on antidepressants for 10 years. This program also got me off them. I feel better now than before PFS, 9/10 days.
This is what happens, most every time if people can un-doctrinate themselves and get out of their own way.Quote:
