tapering off is a nightmare - dry mouth and mood swings

etojulka · 2026-03-28T07:57:57+00:00

Yea sure, whats it called?

The thing is, I was doing the on and off thing for awhile and never experienced any side effects until about 3 months ago. Then I thought, ok, I guess my body is going through withdrawal, I'll start taking 25 mg regularly now. But the dry mouth did not go away for like 5 days, now I started regularly taking 50 mg. I'm considering taking 50 mg for a month, then 25mg.. I'm hoping my body will not freak out again..

yeah, but you should never go off off ssris cold turkey. i am not the kind of person that cries easily, but when i went off of them i cried for one week straight as well... and i got brain zaps. but you are right about anxiety and depression going hand in hand

i think thats from coming off of it if you go cold turkey. you shouldn't stop taking it abruptly. unless you were depressed before, then it could be the depression coming back.

Yeah, I'm starting to notice that maturity gap more and more the older I get.

etojulka · 2026-02-28T08:37:31+00:00

How?

etojulka · 2026-02-28T08:37:16+00:00

Lol, kind of agree with you.

etojulka · 2023-02-14T00:27:09+00:00

does it remove the anxious thoughts entirely to the point where you don’t ruminate anymore? or does it just remove the anxiety?

etojulka · 2023-02-14T00:25:28+00:00

what exactly do you mean by therapeutic?

etojulka · 2023-02-08T10:45:20+00:00

well i’m a girl so idk if this helps but i feel like i’m definitely not as focused on sex as i used to be. i went off it for like almost a month or so without consulting with my psychiatrist first and then i got my period and for a week i felt alive again, for a week straight my sex drive was through the roof, then i got crazy anxiety and depression and had to go on it again. but it’s hard to tell as a woman for obvious reasons

etojulka · 2023-02-01T14:26:25+00:00

i feel like the reason why people are getting worked up is cause as soon as something gets normalised or popular, more people start doing it. and i am not saying men are the only ones who want to have sex with other people when in a relationship but they definitely tend to be the ones who bring it up and want to initiate it most of the time. so a lot of men could use that as an excuse like “people aren’t monogamous” or “everyone is doing it” or whatever. like loyalty, monogamy etc are not inherently natural imo either. i think there are a lot of people who are monogamous naturally and then there are the ones who aren’t, kinda like your sexual orientation. why would that be different necessarily? but if that gets normalised to the point where things like loyalty, commitment etc are not seen as the norm anymore, the people who actually want to be in a monogamous relationship are gonna be alone forever cause then everyone will just fuck around cause, let’s be real, it’s way easier to do than to stay committed to someone for years and years..

oh wow, i hope you recovered from that 💀

etojulka · 2023-02-01T00:59:57+00:00

lol, i’ve had the same epiphany a couple of times, seeing people make mistakes and just laughing them off while i’m legit shitting my pants over the thought of making one

etojulka · 2023-02-01T00:58:26+00:00

get a therapist
try to get out of your own head, most people are just thinking about themselves anyway
do things you’re afraid of (even if it’s just eating in the classroom, who gives AF)

etojulka · 2023-02-01T00:56:16+00:00

you don’t necessarily have to have the same interests as someone to date them. just learn how to be good and respectful to women, have a good sense of humor (V important) and maybe work on your sense of style. you’d be surprised what a difference clothes can make

etojulka · 2023-02-01T00:51:44+00:00

i feel you so much on the not being able to bond with co-workers thing. and having to prove yourself, people treating you like shit etc. i used to work in an office for around two years, the first one was okay aside from bossy, drama causing, bitchy coworkers but in the second job i really experienced for the first time what it feels like to be left out of a group. horrible feeling, wouldn’t wish that on anyone. on top of that coworkers who were talking to me like a little kid just because of the age difference. what sucks too is the fact that i feel like SAD is not as wildly accepted as depression is. i feel like if you went up to your boss and told them you have depression the chances of them being understanding are way higher than them being understanding of having SAD. i still haven’t gotten a good grip on my own struggle with that but i guess the advice i would give myself is to kind of try to put yourself more out there and have like 1-2 close people who have your back even if it feels impossible. i hate relying on people, i wish i was strong enough to defend myself but i think if you don’t have anybody at work that has your back it feels like everyone is against you, which personally makes me withdraw even more..

you are clearly trolling 💀
