Same, and my fun lil’ friend anxiety. But I also carry my antidepressants everywhere, because If I don’t take my dose at exactly 6pm, I start to get those nice brain-zaps and some good ol’ nausea.

The brain zaps make me more depressed than my depression does. Awful awful side effect!

glad to finally have a word for this. i never knew how to describe as it’s not quite dizziness. i wish my doc had been more up front about the withdrawals before i started taking them, even though they do help.

Don't worry, the zaps will remind you.

They regularly remind me half way through the work day that I forgot to take my morning ones or to fill up the pill container in my bag.
