  • As someone, who was on SSRIs for 12 years. With doctors assistance I’ve weened off it and my last pill was 2 weeks ago. Couple that with just accepting who I was and what this condition meant and how it affects every aspect of life. Though the withdrawal was rough and I’m still feeling the brain zaps, but my quality of life and outlook about the future has improved 1000%. Please only take this as anecdotal as I’m not in an medical profession. But now the only thing I take is Vyvanse and I really was only prescribed that 6 months ago. As other have pointed out I was being treated for a symptom and not a root cause, and while I cannot say one way or another weather K will help you , its really something to talk over with a doctor. I will say that managing the Cause and not the symptoms does make everything else a lot easier. I think the only thing SSRIs were doing for me was making it very easy to be ‘detached’.

    Good luck on your journey I hope you can find the treatment that works for you.
