I've been on anti-depressants for a few years and I've had an eating disorder in the past.
I've battled stigma towards mental illness most of my life, I've experienced it from teachers and doctors, sadly it's still not widely (though they say it is) encouraged as a topic of conversation, so problems always occur.

However...I never wanted to be.on them long term and recently ran out and so have not renewed my prescription. I feel ok mentally but the withdrawal is pretty awful. Shakey, sickness but the absolute worse is the brain zaps. Weirdest feeling ever.
Amyway,am hoping once off the overwhelming sadness doesn't return. Am exercising like mad to combat the serotonin withdrawal but will see.if.it helps
