its worse when you live in the deep south and there actually are a fuck ton of bugs every summer so you have plausible reason to assume they actually ARE landing

How intense are the zaps? I’ve thought about if I lose my medicaid I might have to talk to my doctor about coming off mine.
It depends on how high your dose was and it can vary from barely perceptible and infrequent to nauseating and near-constant. Tapering off can help make it less intense but at some point theyre going to be unavoidable. SSRIs are ass.
Shit, how long does the paws last?
I was on the max dose of Zoloft, so my experience isn’t typical. It has seriously sucked. I compare it to my brain rebooting, and sometimes the “sound” of the zap (really just the same experience but in my audio nerves) is nearly deafening. It wakes me up at night. Meanwhile, my optic nerves react as if my eyes just quit working. Makes driving unnerving.
From every account I’ve heard (including my own) it depends on how high the dose and for how long you were taking them. In my experience going cold turkey was pretty similar to quitting nicotine, the first two weeks being the worst but everything after that being much easier. You can expect to get occasional zaps for a long ass time after that. I will occasionally feel something and go “wait was that an ssri zap?” even two and a half years off lexapro.
