Weaning Off SSRI and Detoxing Metals, Part 1

Weaning off SSRI and detoxing heavy metals. Weaning off of SSRIs is not near as bad as weaning off of a Benzo, but still not fun.

If you have or are currently weaning off of an SSRI or Benzo, please share your story down below. I would love to hear from you. Also, what method are you using to help wean off of the medicine, and which medicine are you taking? Please list side effects as well. Thanks!

Music is by the lovely, Sarah Brightman, called "Captain Nemo" , from the album "Dive". I do not (obviously) own the music, but music is helpful during hard times. What kind of music helps you?

@debradebbiedeb Glad I'm not the only one who has gotten those weird electric shocks in my head. The first time it happened to me, it freaked me out so much! I'm definitely going to get through this. I can't wait for the day when I can throw these pills in the trash and never have one of those side effects EVER again!!

@SellyNue It's called "Captain Nemo" by Sarah Brightman.

@RecoveringPotsy What was the music that was playing when you were crying at the end of the video??

[RecoveringPotsy]

@POTSieChik Awww, thanks so much!! When I saw we both posted skits, I was like, we all need to do a potsie variety show!!!:) The fear of weaning off of this stuff has plagued me for a long time now, but I know it's something I've got to do, and hopefully it will be worth it! I definitely need all the positive healing vibes I can get!:)

@rx2mozart OMG, I have the awful negative thoughts as well!! It's so stressful beyond words!! I try and focus on positive things or memorize scripture, but it's like impossible at times to stop my brain from doing that! Thank you for your prayers. That means alot.
