> i stopped SSRI's 2 years ago. since then, i have continued to have these symptoms. i am assuming they will never go away. does anyone else have permanent damage from using SSRI's? is there any way to improve it?
>
> a). Word finding troubles
> b). Absolute emotional flatness and deadness
> c). Permanently reduced sex drive
> d). An odd, pervasive social anxiety/awkwardness
> e). Trouble with coordination
> f). Bad memory
> g). Trouble retrieving words
> h). Overall paucity of thought and expression
> i). Lack of creativity and intellectual fluidity (mental fog)
> j). A lack of ability to "steer" or control the tone of your voice

>This is most likely depression. It can present with different symptoms than you origionally had in the past, prior to initiation of SSRI's. It's the nature of the beast.
