    That's how I got put an a free* trial** prescription of antidepressants. That's all it took. Telling the doctor I felt sad.

    *they give out samples to doctors to hand out

    **you absolutely aren't supposed to stop cold turkey

      Same story for me. I want off these antidepressants, they don’t help, but if I don’t take them it feels like my brain is getting tiny electric shocks all day. My doctor acted like she’s never heard of this withdrawal symptom even though it looks extremely common from my google searches

        Oh yeah, brain zaps. Suffered through those when i ran out of money and had to taper off the remaining pills left over. Also the doctor who prescribed them to me seemed completely unaware that there could be any side effects when I mentioned the side effects I was experiencing.
