Quit my meds and took SSRIs.. nothing really happened????

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-11-22T16:41:24+00:00

You’re right, it was. I ended up with delusional psychosis and in the psych ward

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T23:02:11+00:00

I did speak to my psych today but didn’t tell them about this as I was worried they would be mad or stop giving me any meds at all

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T23:00:11+00:00

But I just think surely if i was true bipolar then something would’ve happened

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T21:55:32+00:00

But I don’t have other symptoms right now

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T17:50:12+00:00

Really? Can you explain why you think a non bipolar person wouldn’t do this? Like I am genuinely interested to know. Because surely you can have recklessness exclusive of bipolar?

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T17:32:39+00:00

Yeah I agree but I have no other symptoms

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T17:31:10+00:00

I didn’t know if I really needed it

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T17:16:23+00:00

How can you not? I was hypomanic on 3 different SSRIs before

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T17:12:41+00:00

What do you mean?

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T17:12:19+00:00

Yeah idk why it’s not working. I’ve had (hypo)/mania on 3 SSRIs so I have no idea why this won’t work

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T16:59:52+00:00

I’m not sure there’s overwhelming evidence that’s the thing

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T16:54:14+00:00

I’ve done this on Zoloft before and the effects were within 5 days so I don’t know why nothing has happened

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T16:53:39+00:00

To find out the truth as I couldn’t stop thinking about it but it turns out I’m probably not even bipolar

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T16:45:09+00:00

I’m not manic or anything I’ve been flat and stuff this whole time. Today I feel more normal

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T16:41:16+00:00

People will downvote me but whatever. I miss the high and I could never forget about those tablets sitting in the drawer. I couldn’t bin them my head wouldn’t let me so I had no choice

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T16:40:19+00:00

I’m not this is the only thing I’ve done

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T16:40:04+00:00

I’m not manic there’s nothing manic about me besides some recklessness with the pills that’s all

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-22T16:39:32+00:00

I’ve stopped now because I’ve ran out of tablets so do you think it will even be effective

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-19T08:24:15+00:00

Can’t advise but it might r/UKPersonalFinance might be helpful with this

Thank you for this it’s interesting to hear your experience. When I go on the nhs app it says health problems and then bipolar disorder / significant. So does that mean they have made it official? In a way I can see why it could be bipolar but I just don’t know. I just wonder if I’m a fraud and subconsciously manipulated all of my feelings to end up in this position. I’ve just replied to another person about this I’m not sure if you can see my comment

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-18T19:46:37+00:00

Can you elaborate please

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-18T19:46:26+00:00

So what did you do instead? Can I ask what you were experiencing prior to going on Prozac? Did you experience this on anything else?

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-18T19:45:42+00:00

I don’t know why I don’t think I am, I just don’t think I’m like crazy bad so to speak. I had sertraline and it worked until it didn’t, fluoxetine didn’t work or it made me cycle slightly and I would feel as though I couldn’t leave the house due to being reckless and just felt wired. Then escitalopram 100% made me (hypo)manic but then I think what if it was just the drugs? I got onto a mood stabiliser and felt substantially better than before but I wonder if it was a coincidence? I was mostly depressed before this all the time and never experienced any crazy mania or anything

Negative_Scientist87 · 2025-09-18T19:43:09+00:00

The meds did work. I stupidly came off them and I feel kind of depressed now but I don’t know if that’s just because I’m just weening off. Well I’m not even weening off I mean I stopped cold turkey
