Welcome to our community of support for those coping with mental health challenges. Many of us take antidepressants prescribed by doctors to help manage conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and panic disorder. This is a space to share experiences, find information, ask questions, and encourage one another.

We aim for open and constructive dialogue. Please be thoughtful and kind. Rude or abusive language will not be tolerated. Our focus is on learning, growing, and walking together through difficulties.

Professional medical advice is irreplaceable. Consult your physician before making any changes to medication routines. Improper antidepressant use can be dangerous. We are here to support you on your journey toward mental wellness, not replace doctors.

Depending on the drug, you can do it in a week, or a few years.

Yes, paxil took me 6 months in flue like symptoms with daily vomiting. Doctors and manuals say 2 weeks, users experience is very different.
