Does your Personality change when you come off antidepressants? (I'm Scared)?
Answers:
Your doctor is the one taking you off the meds, correct? Because you shouldn't remove yourself from them on your own. Usually there is a weaning period where they will slowly bring you off of them. If they think you are o.k. to be without them you should be fine. The problem with not taking them anymore for some people is because they quit taking them on their own when they're aren't ready and all those old feelings come creeping back. Your personality shouldn't change though.maybe your moods a bit while you adjust, but you should be fine.
Depends on what tablets..your taking.. !
I believe you have to slowly be weened off of antidepressants because they are highly addictive. You will probably feel irritable for a while, much like quitting smoking. Much of that should subside.
What did your doctor say?
I am presently coming off of a couple. Lexapro (I stopped taking like 2 weeks ago) and wellburtrin.
I am feeling ok. But i was like ready to come off of them about 6 months ago. My doctor was tring to keep me on them. I guess afraid I was not ready.
I told her and have been ready. So far I am doing good. In a couple of weeks I will be off wellburtrin totally.
But talked to your doctor. And dont come off totally I like most you have to come off slow.
I weaned myself off of anti-depressants literally months ago and I still cry at all kinds of stupid little things. Songs, movies, comments, even commercials that are meant to be touching. It's really embarrassing.
if done right it shouldnt
well inevitably you're going to be more emotional but the point is, you're guna b able to have highs as well as lows.if you can make sure you try to do one thing everyday that makes you happy, the good could help the bad seem less worse.I know its not all that simple but wouldn't you rather feel happiness,love,humour etc instead of just always feelin "ok"? x
