It's Over Taking medication has rotted by brain

[XtremeMax]

I feel like such a retard for listening to my parents and the doctors that it's a good thing. I lost all my emotions. I know what it feels like to have emotions, that's how I know I've lost all of them. I was put on antidepressants and antipsychotics and now I'm tapering off all of them but there's no spark or liveliness returning. I just lie in bed staring at the ceiling most days. I just don't know where I should go from here. I'm in no pain, emotional or otherwise. I don't feel suicidal. I'm curious if anyone else has or is going through emotional numbness.

I don't know. I just keep taking it because my parents are assholes about it and watch me take it.

I took zoloft for like 3(?) months and I feel like my memory is fucked. Its been over a year and my working memory still feels very hazy.

Yes but my parents are very convinced that it's helping and are practically forcing me to take it and saying "you'll go back to hospital" if I don't take it.

True and post SSRI sexual dysfunction is a risk then there's just the neurotoxicity in general with SSRIs meanwhile anti psychotics cause as much as a 10% loss in brain volume in chimps no idea about healthy patients because it's deemed too dangerous to use on them.

Well my emotinal numbing has been subsiding gradually and like I said a couple post before after like 40 days of semen retention I was able to get morning erections so I'll just keep on that and I think the only thing to help me is eating animal Organs especially the liver and brain to repair me

Tbh HBOT helped my brain course that was for a traumatic brain injury. Does increase blood flow too so could help erections probably. Course it is experimental and expensive. I went for 40 treatments at nearly $200 a treatment.

Never do it. Taper off medication with liquid solution, month per month with 10% reduction (or less, preferably).

However, tapering off doesn't guarantee you the avoidance of protracted withdrawal syndrome. Sometimes, withdrawals can even last for years.

I'm 8 months in and still suffering from withdrawal.

Anhedonia will never go away, depersonalization will never go away, etc. That's what I mostly suffer from.
