I was 16 when I started prozac. I just took them because I was told to. I didn't know they would leave me in a permanent state of mental anemia after I started taking them.
I was given prozac back then because I was anxious and sad. Now I'm not sad or anxious, but I can't feel any emotion, with or without a drug. I'm flat. No joy, no love, no drive, no desire to improve my life, no enjoyment of music, nature, sex, etc. the walking dead almost. Never felt that way before taking or even while on prozac, just after stopping it. Its like it hijacked all my brain functions and then f*ck*ed them when I stopped it.
Suicide would be nice if I could be assured I would be reborn to do all the things I wanted to do before I was put on this drug. Of course I don't actually believe in reincarnation so thats not a very good option.
So basically I "only went back on Antidepressants because I felt so bad that I felt I just could not continue to go on like that."
My attitude towards drugs is best exemplified by the following questions.
Poison is the cure?
Fight fire with fire?
Could something that disrupts norepinephrine help balance the permanent disruption of serotonin prozac has caused in me?

Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety, this is NOT depression!]
