I've read in detailed on researched studies that the mitochondria is dysfunctional in patients with mental illnesses and antidepressants only deplete the ATP even more hence all thover horrible side effects.
Also those in the US should check out for UBIQUINOL which has shown greater results than AD's without the horrific side effects.
Please check online for detailed information on the above.
I was on 250mg Sertraline and have quit cold turkey and it's all good.
Not that I'm suggesting as everyone is different.
Take care and feel better.
Thanks saw neuro as a review for MD today and he has suggested amitriptyline for nerve pain getting all sorts of burning pain in my left arm and back
You quit cold turkey !! Omgosh !! What about side effects ?
It's ok..not so bad. Just a some brain zaps which isn't so bad. Should subside soon. I guess there's a lot of anxiety for the anxiety of withdrawals hence it makes it worse.
This is second time I've gone cold turkey.
Hope it works for you. I took it for almost a year and doesn't cure the pain...maybe just puts you to sleep so eventually one feels better.
