Yeah, I plussed you for that one, too.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Sometimes, I wish she knew how magical, but the fact that she does not know is part of her magic. I wouldn't want to fuck that up.

Actually, it does make sense, but I think a lot of people would say that when the good or high effects from most things stop or decrease is when the addiction begins. That would be particularly true if you increased your dosage to offset the acquired tolerance, instead of stopping them completely.

yeah true dat. addiction starts when you have more to lose than gain from it, imo.

lol, thanks for the plusses, guys. i feel my magic leaving my body already... head is swelling...

Looks more like it's spinning.

Don't worry. You'll forget whatever
conceit you may feel soon enough.

Well I didn't mean to be competitive, just it made me want to kill myself more than I had wanted to in several years prior.   Basically I was overcome with depression that was not related to anything specific in my life.   I locked myself in my room for 4 days while living in a fraternity house, sleeping and crying hysterically mostly (I almost never cry at all).    Keeping yourself locked in your room in a frat house is very hard to do with fraternity brothers knocking on your door asking you to come do shit with them and party.   Finally my big brother Dante (fraternity) called my parents and had them come down to UCF to see if they could get me out of my room.   

I have had bouts of depresssion before that were very intense, but I would at least let people talk to me.    At the very worst I don't answer my door and phone for one or two days normally.   I would have kept inside my room for much longer probably but I had to go to the bathroom and they were outside waiting for me.   Tried to be very strategic about when I would leave my room to go to the bathroom and get food, but I failed in the end and people intervened.  I was more depressed when I tried to kill myself years later, but that was motivated by actual reasons and not just total chemical depression.

This really scares me.  My daughter is taking Zoloft and she seems to be doing well on it, but when she eventually needs to stop taking it this could happen to her.

Did you slowly taper the dosage, or did you just stop taking it cold turkey?

i think it's best to go off it slowly.

I just went off of it totallly cold turkey.   That is a side effect of me having a manic episode from what I understand.   I think not only is everything fine, but there is nothing wrong with me at all.  Then I take myself off of all of my meds cold turkey.    I have done this many times before I was DXd with Bipolar and gotten meds for it.   I have also taken myself off of Depakote cold turkey as well, no withdrawal effects there fortunately.   Getting a doctor to help you taper off of it slowly is the best solution as Milla/Bjork said.
:P   Internets are super serious.
