• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

It all depends on the person and the severity of your depression and which meds you're being weaned off of.

I cried. Lots. I had anger issues too, and I couldn't sleep. Then I went back on the meds because I need them to function as a normal member of society. I literally could not go for five minutes without crying over the littlest of things, it was awful. I wish I could function without the meds but at this point in time I can't. Maybe someday in the future I'll be able to.

I know one lady who was on the same meds (I'm on different ones now) and she was really spacey for about two weeks.
