Today was day one for finding out what I am like without anti-depressants. I'm curious. I've been taking them--Zoloft, Lexapro, and WellButrin-- since a few months after the injury.
On the pills I act erratic, impulsive. One moment I am energetic and the next lethargic. If I look up too fast I become dizzy. I've often wondered if it was the pills or the injury. I know it's probably the latter but I look forward to see what condition my condition is really in.
I spent today running around like a crackhead. My doctor advised me to up the Adderall intake to combat the withdrawal from the Wellbutrin. I worked, washed the van, met a friend, got a haircut, went to the store, and worked some more, all at a frenetic pace. It feels good so far but we'll see in a few days. I just hope that when I find normal I won't find the same thoughts, only more intense.

Hi, Ive been following your blog for a while, PLEASE be very careful when coming off of anti-depressents. Monitor your state of mind closely. I ended up in a mental hospital and went bat-shit-crazy by stopping my Paxil, increasing my Adderal and smoking tons of weed. To make a long story short, I went insane. Really Really Insane.
