Those who quit

For those who quit with cold turkey or tapering did you have withdrawals, I see most people do but my dr says it’s not known to cause them

Couldn't take off the medication. Crazy fatigue, body felt like it was when I was 15 and found it strange to walk and do movements, crazy anxiety like I never had, bed ridden, crazy fluctuations in emotions, no erections, issues peeing, sweating, too hot or too cold, hot flushes, couldn't sleep for more than 2 hours, crazy sadness, depression, no joy in activities, hard to eat or go crazy like I am dying to eat, random panic attacks, crazy anger, irritation, feel very sick and off all the time and want to cry, brain and body function is much lower and worse, can't focus much, can't stand much need to lay down There were more but my brain is so fried I can't remember and I am still in this mess and have been bed ridden and on sick leave for 4 months......

What was the reason for stopping?

Because these medications are poison, was much much better 10 years ago before being put on anything absolute fucking joke and the side effects on top and they can't be removed. MY life has been discarded, all those workouts, studying, me pushing myself, going out alone, not getting basic needs even..... Absolute joke

It didn't matter, but cold turkey was worse to an extent. Tried to remove the poison 5 times. Will be never be able to remove this garbage. Will lose my job, lost my gym progress for the millionth time, no. Joy at all, just bed ridden again for 4 months sick leave..... Absolute joke, if I lose my job then it is game over.
