    You could at least try. I remember that wealthier Northern Europeans moved south during winter. They went to France, Spain, Italy etc.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    I will move somewhere else for sure, but later. I think I will stay there forever.

    Like all drugs, anti depressants change your brain chemistry. Brain gets used to excess serotonin.

    But after some period of time, it all passes, right?

    Well, paroxetine can make you impotent. Some others could even lead you to suicide. But I guess it depends on who's is taking them.

    I suppose it recovers somewhat. I don't think the brain ever recovers as if drug use never happened.

    I will tell you about my story.

    I was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder a couple years ago. I'm an Asperger, but I have very high social functions, I just can't really connect with people. Well it turns out everything was going to the drain for me about 5 or 6 years ago. I was kicked out from the house by my stepfather, I was struggling getting a job and I was under a great deal of social pressure to 'fit in'. So then I was diagnosed with 'bipolar disorder type-2' by some 'specialist'. Then they gave me meds, I got better (less depressed), but I changed a lot in other ways. It wasn't me anymore. I was going to parties, drinking a lot, having one night stands, doing drugs, but at the end of the day it didn't felt right. I couldn't connect with people still. Even in parties they would have a great time with me but I was annoyed, I wanted everything to finish so I could go home. I started losing lots of functions, like my IQ, it dropped A LOT (I got 53 the first time I did my university entry exam, last time I got 83, this time I think I got even higher...), got fat, lost a portion of my sight, I became whinny and moody, acting like a bitch to my girlfriend. God, I was like a different person. Then I decided to go talk with another therapist, she diagnosed me with Asperger (I was first diagnosed by my mom at 4 since she was my teacher but I had my doubts), I quit meds, now i'm the most pragmatical, healthier and athletic version of myself I have ever been. Not to mention very happy.

    My advice. Quit meds, seek therapy, good therapy. You're done in 6 months, you'll feel a lot better after a while. Trust me.

    Good picture- NorepinephrineDopamineSerotonin
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...eSerotonin.png

    So low serotonin causes sensory dissatisfaction/ insensibility, paranoia, anxiety.

    Thank you very much for what you wrote.
    All those 'specialists' I tell you, they only want to get this over with asap.
    Almost every polish 'specialist' is like this, they give you the heaviest drugs, take your money and you are on your own.

    I was taking some light SSRI, rather small doses - for the period of 6 months.
    I am 'sober' since January, and I am not sure if I feel any better.
    Still wondering if I was feeling better before the therapy or now, guess I will never know for sure.

    I hope my brain isn't damaged yet, lol.

    I guess even this fucking meditation and other shit will do better than recommended 'specialist' after all...
