Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

From every account I've heard (including my own) it depends on how high the dose and for how long you were taking them. In my experience going cold turkey was pretty similar to quitting nicotine, the first two weeks being the worst but everything after that being much easier. You can expect to get occasional zaps for a long ass time after that. I will occasionally feel something and go "wait was that an ssri zap?" even two and a half years off lexapro.
