All prescription drugs takes years off your life

[NoBacon]

All of them. I’ve probably reduced my life span by decades after being on SSRI’s for 8 years. I’m finally going to force myself to come off them and absorb the withdrawals.

I was browsing the Wikipedia about the longest life span people and killing time and I noticed a pattern that every single person had the same behaviours, not eating much, fasting, never taking medication etc.

Obviously this is all well known already, but I’m bored at work so I’m making a thread about it.

And of course don’t take vaccines, but that goes without saying.

Joe is on a 4 month gig and took about 5000 pills with him, retard. It’s boomers who are the heavily medicated vaccine injured idiots who believe pills = healthcare.

Which SSRI? Have fun coming off it. I was on Celexa for less than a year and the WDs were worse for me than heroin. I had to get a liquid formulation and do a super slow taper. It was a hellish experience.

I'm on your side here dada. Remember what happened that time you and mama took me to see a doctor?

Well I guess I'm gonna last until 100 unless I off myself.

I haven't had a vaccine since the 90s and take an alka seltzer when I have stomach issues or heartburn. I'll take an ibuprofen if I really feel like I need one for a head or body ache. Last prescription I was given was in 2012 when I totaled my car and was given hydrocodone. I called a few days later to let the doctor at the ER know that taking the medication was making me feel off mentally and I was feeling more than my usual anger. Doctor said "that's probably because you're stressed from the accident." which was not the case. I got to take a couple weeks off and get paid for an accident that wasn't my fault. I wasn't even all that hurt because knew the accident was coming and braced for the impact. Only got a slight concussion from the airbag.

I ended up selling the pills to a neighbor. I had only taken maybe 6 of the 30+ prescribed so made a nice profit and used that to buy weed.

Remeron, I’ve tried to come off it several times and it’s been a fucking nightmare.

Micro-dosing THC helps antidepressant withdrawal. You don't take enough to get fucked up. Just enough to relax. It improves depression in small doses.

Unless you're in imminent danger of offing yourself you shouldn't take antidepressants. Even then an antipsychotic is probably the better play and they tend not to be hard to kick.

I don’t touch any of that stuff, it never has positive effects for me. Any weed in any form at any dosage makes me anxious and paranoid. It’s just not for me.

I did maybe 0.5 grams of coke at the weekend and it’s STILL lingering anxiety. I know I’m not gonna touch recreation drugs anymore because it just short circuits everything, though I know it’s not the case for everyone and don’t judge.

As much as I’m a retard here, and I’m not saying I agree with them, but in my normal real life most people who know me would describe me as bright, sharp and good at retaining a broad range of information, but I can feel after 8 years these SSRI’s are rotting my brain, I’m starting to slur words and get brain fog. I’ve taken them for years purely because I don’t want the withdrawals but it’s time to bite bullet, hopefully only figuratively.

Just a heads up, you will feel even more retarded while kicking them and probably for a few months afterward, in addition to being emotionally volatile. It’s worth it in the end.

It’s a good thing I’m so emotionally stable then.

Real talk though I’m pretty scared. The last time I went cold turkey I couldn’t stop having repeating crazy thought loops like there was a sink hole in my mind that I was always falling into, just insane thoughts and aways being aware they were insane but also just constantly not being able to prevent them. Impossible to explain things like I could taste the corners of my sweater and they sounded abrasive in my jaw. It made sense and also I knew it didn’t make any sense.

It’s straight up not a good time incoming.

See if you can get a liquid formulation and then just taper it. Makes life way easier.

My ex-GF went off Wellbutrin cold turkey during our relationship and she didn't even notice anything. She might have been on a very low dose though, not sure.

FWIW.

I know this is gonna come as a shock but i’ve been on SSRIs for X amount of years. I stopped taking them without consulting a doctor maybe a month or two ago and I don’t have any withdrawals. Only side effect is my dick don’t work.

When I started taking them I was an obstinate smarter than everyone @Sue Lightning type and didn’t try exercise / meditation / religion / diet etc and all the things that really work and just got on pills, and they worked great and I turned my life around, so maybe it was worth it in the long run. The withdrawals are fucking brutal though, I abused Xanax for a while and that was HELL to stop.

Pills are all a giant evil scam.

Good for you, no bs.

Doesn’t matter about your dick, it prevents you doing gay sinful acts with it so it’s double good news

Wellbutrin is a DNRI and it essentially acts as a very mild stimulant.

It’s completely different to the SSRIs and is an odd duckling among the antidepressants.

It’s the only antidepressant I like.

I can't take SSRIs unless I want to have an extreme manic episode.
