Damn it, I think I have to go off my antidepressants. I’ve been so confused, dizzy, and nauseous, and I think that might be why. Just bummed bc it was working

That rlly sucks. If it’s been less than a couple of weeks you should try to wait if you can, because many side effects improve after a week or two. If you can’t or it’s been a few weeks already, you should ask to try a different one instead of giving up on antidepressants. There’s probably (hopefully?) one that works without intolerable side effects. I tried 4 SSRIs and 2 SNRIs before I found a combination that works decent for me w/out bad side effects (Zoloft for ocd + Pristiq for depression)

Its hard for me to tell if its the meds or my medical issues. Like it’s been a months, but now that my dose was upped last week the side effects are getting worse. And I’d much rather it be side effects than an issue with my brain (the other option). Definitely not ditching antidepressants, I’ve just tried a lot of them and am very bummed the one that works is making me sick

I am going to my pcp today to see if maybe it’s something off with my ears, and I’m hoping that is the case.

The timing of it is weird bc I was also having a long ass migraine bf this all started, I just looked at the side effect of Wellbutrin and I’ve got like almost all of them. Made me a lil nervous
