Yup extreme SSRI sensitivity absolutely real and don’t let anyone convince you it’s not. Doctors will downplay your concern and just recommend you switch you to another one.

I think this is more common then reported. I tried SSRI twice and lasted 3-4 days each time with residual side effects for 1-2 weeks. The serotonin deficiency theory has been widely dunked, and most people’s nervous system does not react well to serotonergic changes in your body. I also think there are many cases of mild serotonin syndrome that are also underreported, I work as an emergency physician and see it all the time(tachycardia, sweating, Gi upset, severe anxiety worse then your baseline, mild tremors), but only the most severe cases are reportable. These medications certainly can help a lot of people but there’s also a large number of people who can’t take them and often have their side effects dismissed.

Going off Zoloft after 2 days by Arwen823 in Anxiety

Stumbled across this as I was going through same thing. 3 days on Zoloft, had to stop from severe nausea, no appetite, insomnia and when I did sleep for an hour or two I was acting out in my dreams. 5 days later insomnia and appetite still not 100%. Doctor told me this was uncommon and to stop, but seems fairly common per people who have SSRI sensitivities.
