My doctor put me on amitriptalene (sp) type drug due to chronic core body pain.
I was on it a week and my mind got incredibly fuzzy..
I took myself off of it because I HATED what it did to my mind, i felt like I was on a triple dosage of NYQUIL constantly.
I told the doctor I would just live with the pain, recently I had surgery that resolved the issue and no more pain, so i chose to live without the drugs for half a decade in pain that have my mind foggy.
I meant to say i opted for the pain vs. being a drugged up zombie.
IIRC, even being on some antidepressents for as little as a week requires careful doctor supervision if you discontinue. Some meds you just can't quit cold turkey.
