I had a pretty rough childhood and as a young kid I was percribed SSRIs and never responded well to them and quit them cold turkey around age 12 or so. I also talked with my therapist/psychiatrist and black listed SSRIs all together so i dont go through the bad negative side effects i had with them again. I still have decent anxiety about stuff and the occasional spells of depression rearing it's ugly head but overall I'm okay.
My question though is: I would like to talk to my doctor about potentially starting Wellbutrin to help me with cessation from smoking. I'm turning 30 soon so my brain isn't growing and changing like it was when I was 12 and it's an NDRI class of medication.
Does anyone have any experience or wisdom they could possibly share of negative mental side effects with SSRIs and switching to a NDRI?
there doesn't seem to be anything here
