Hey, certainly been in that frame of mind.

I'm sure I've damamged my brain with over 5 years pharmacudicals in my poor developing brain.

Anyhow, the first 6-8 months off the drugs are were the hardest. Vitamins and omega 3 can go a long way, but it really can take time for things to repair and start functioning well again.

Serotonergic neurons can be replaced. The growth factor BDNF, is trophic to the serotongeric system.

Get as much exercise as possable to keep BDNF high, take a sensable but high quality multivitamin, some fish oil, and any other supplement you find helps, and then just wait.

I have been improving in many ways. 10 months later, my cognition is improving. Small tasks are easier and less daunting. Sleep, energy and mood have all improved.

Antidepressants remap your whole brain. It takes time to undoe the dammage, but it will come back.
