2. I just can't tolerate

SSRI's any more. It bothers my gut. I had to take it at night and it still made me retch in the morning. Everything moved out of my system in a hyper hurry. I felt like I had the flu. My mood was not much better. I had a serious situational problem. It was depressing.
Stuff does happen to my innards when I get upset and that is; everything stops. I can't eat, can't sleep can't poop. I suppose the antidepressant reverses that shut down. It was awful. It stops my sex drive, too.

Coming off them was not fun either. I didn't feel much from it until a couple of weeks after. I didn't have the 'brain' shocks everyone describes but shocks at the level of my lowback fusion that went down both legs, weakened my knees, and made me feel like I was going to faint. It was only a week, though.

I'd have to go the natural route. Maybe it helps pain, too.
