interesting that I actually got on the web tonight and checked this site a bit. Got to this post and it fits a bit with what I'm going through right now.

for the last 2 1/2 years I've been on an SSRI to supposedly take down the extremities of the side effects produced by a CNS Stim I take for an ADHD and lack of energy issue/problem. Though, ever since I've been on the SSRI i've just been an automaton seeking security through the ways of society and not through the spiritual ways along the lines I had been years previously. I just lost all desire to constantly do the creative writing and hang with other people that share similar issues and interests that I do. I turned recluse big time, and kinda went my own way on getting things done. Spirituality become very little of the spright side, gloomy to say the least. Rain showers did little to me, as they used to produce a tumultuousity of refreshing airs for me.

I finally found my way to a CNS stim that exacerbated my OCD very little, and have been weaning down on the SSRI to a great extent, as well as weaning down off the benzo I was taking for the sleep disorderment caused by the SSRI. Thus far I feel like the soul in me is coming back to life. I just created a huge life for myself while on the meds the past 2 1/2 years, a good life, but one that is so so different than what I was leading the years prior.

I was doing some construction work on a house project tonight and it kinda came to mind that spirituality seems to rest so much on our emotions and experiences. SSRI the pill that killed my spirituality! I can't wait to wean off of this stuff for good. It's a fresh of breath air even though the withdrawals put out that sign of beware.

I'll definitely be sticking with a few meds, CNS stim for one, and maybe another at a low dose. Lesson I learned: some meds seem good, but in the end can take more than they give....and other meds can really just be beneficial in giving more than they take. Journey is to find which ones.
