Best I can describe is that there’s one of those fake gum shocker pranks in my brain. I’m just constantly getting mental buzzes

Yeah I’ve heard of that symptom. Sounds pretty rough. I forget what the slang term for it is called

That sounds so bizarre What a strange symptom. Scary. Almost sounds unsafe. I kind of find it so strange that so many people must have to go through that process of ssri withdrawal. Sort of wish I knew what it felt like but I wouldn’t want to experience it

It’s not unsafe to my knowledge, just brain changing chemistry and it’s temporary. But I forgot just how disorienting it is. Had to leave work early today bc I felt like it was just too much to handle.

That’s understandable. I imagine it lasts a while though
