SSRI's can be a bad spiral for a number of people. I remember almost a year of insomnia when I was on celexa at age 16.
Nobody questioned the drugs at that point, and with my developing and changing body I basically assumed it was "all me".
I am glad that there are people here to question the actions of these drugs today.
You are right, if I was allowed to just smoke a wee bit of marajuanna I would not have gone through one half of what I did. The insomnia, the agitation, the loss of appetite, the restlessness, the apathy, the iscolation. I've smoked a wee bit since I got off the SSRI's, enough to know that those are the types of people who recover.
Did I tell you that I was on 6 drugs at one point? Lithium + depakote + Zyprexa + Zoloft + Clonazpam + Cogentin. I was told I'd need to take them for the rest of my life. The manipulation is a scarry thing.
Just one bad patch job after the next.
