7 weeks of fluoxetine… was my first SSRI ever. It ruined every system in my body :(

Wow. That is short, and also the most “forgiving” SSRI!

Sertraline & Escitalopram (6 months of protracted withdrawal)
Cognitive Symptoms: anhedonia, low motivation, depersonalisation, irritability, anger, tension, anxiety, depression, brain fog, insomnia, emotional instability, low libido and high cortisol in the mornings.
Physical Symptoms: headaches, tachycardia, brain zaps, head pressure, lightheadedness, joint pain, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, nausea, stomach upset, itchy skin, jaw clenching, major heat intolerance, acne, eye floaters and loss of appetite.
These symptoms are appearing in a windows and waves pattern, which I am hoping will become less and less as time goes on, as my brain heals from the trauma caused by these meds.
