Any Tips On Dealing With Antidepressant Withdrawal?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Not that I recommend stopping antidepressants cold turkey but in my case I have run out of medication and cannot afford more.

I was there once. Are you currently seeing a doctor? If they declare it as a disability you can get it free via welfare. Worth a shot.

Prepare yourself. Google withdrawal or the symptoms to understand what you are in for. I've been on and off a lot and none of them are easy to stop especially cold turkey. Another thing I did when money was an issue was ask my Dr if he could supply me with free samples. Sometimes yes sometimes no. Usually yes for newer market medications.

Thank you everyone for the advice! I have scheduled an appointment with my psychiatrist and counsellor. I will definitely ask about samples.

Ask your doctor for samples, he gets lots from the reps,& check to see if there is a generic brand of your medication
