i am completely scared i ruined my brain forever on ssris-
15 years prozac- ok. abruptly stopped- BAD!!!
then tried to go back on it in july aug and sept- 10 days each and couldnt stand it.
then tried celexa 3 weeks. then stopped. abruptly. then a few days on smaller dose. then stopped. and again. and again. because i was afraid they made me worse. but then i was worried about withdrawals so think i may start again.
help!! i am completely out of control. in the meantime i also overdosed on sleeping pills which i think messed my mind. IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR ME??

Call 911 if you think you have over dosed on pills!!!

You need to call your doctor immidiatly. Why do you keep going off the meds? It takes at leat 4 weeks for you to feel the beinifits of a drug. And you should never just come off a drug without talking with your doctor.
