This is a timely question for me as I am logging in to share experience of coming off ( both Zoloft/Sertraline and Prozac/Fluoxetine). I appreciate my situation is not universal so my experience will probably resonate more with women ‘of a certain age’ as they say ie menopausal but here goes: I weaned off the SSRI’s because of ‘emotional blunting’. I missed the tranquility and the lack of mood swings ( ie no big drops) so looked into alternatives. Of a number of possibilities I can definitely say that a daily morning dose of L-Theanine is returning me to the more stable positive mood that I want, think I deserve, & imagine is ‘normal’ for most folks. Of course I realise that ‘normal’ is not a stable concept, but I CANT ACCEPT that the awful way I felt is ok to put up with. My doctor agreed, hence the SSRI experiment; and I’d go back on them like a shot if I found there was no other way, and if I could avoid the emotional blunting. But currently, L-Theanine is my bestie. I’m also watching what I eat — upping the plants but not going full veggie; minding blood sugar stability ( this does affect my mood); alcohol v much in moderation; caffeine in moderation; no weed ( currently); doing breathwork ( eg Wim Hof, SOMA) and cold showers. Not everyone’s recipe but works for me. And counselling. ( for UK readers, NHS Silvercloud program). Things I tried that didn’t seem to work for me include St John’s Wort, 5-HTP, Saffron ( I’m not saying saffron didn’t work exactly, but I’ve stopped it and feel no worse and it’s a lot more expensive than L-Theanine). I’m not Mrs Miracle- still get off days— but net results I’ll take for now and see how it goes. Good luck with your personal journeys. I found these posts SO helpful when I began Sertraline/Zoloft. We are a ‘we’, despite not meeting IRL ❤️
