It’s been 17 days since I (33f) stopped my trintellix (20mg) and rexulti (1mg) cold turkey. I didn’t mean to do this, but it took multiple days to get them refilled and I thought, fuck it let’s try to get off of it. I recently got diagnosed with adhd and I suspect maybe I never had depression. Been on Adderall and that’s helped me so much. I can’t take the Adderall while withdrawing bc makes muscle spasms and brain zaps a lot worse. I also have a low to no sex drive so hoping getting off SSRI helps with that. I’ve been on an SSRI since I was 16 and im really curious how I’ll do.

The first two weeks I felt no withdrawal symptoms. Then BAM it hit me like a ton of bricks. Symptoms include: horrible jaw and back teeth pain Fatigue Confusion Muscle spasms Brain zaps Absolutely zero motivation

My dr prescribed me clonidine for the symptoms but my blood pressure has been too low to take safely.

It’s been 17 days total and I’m miserable. I’m already this far in and don’t want to give up and take them again.

Anyone have any insight how much longer this might last?

Anything I can do to feel better?
