Anti-depressants are poisen

I'm going to be completely off in 4 days. I've got L-Theanine on order and i'm hopeful this time will be it.

Thanks for all the good info in this thread.

I'll update on how i feel in a week or so, if i haven't lost my mind lol. No more crazy pills!!!
 
good stuff, keep us posted. Though I don't think you should go cold turkey from the AD's.
Ween off slowly using the L Theanine

Let us know, good luck
 
How's this for a recovery - bench back up to 105X5 (kilos) in a couple of weeks!

Standing Overhead press, never one of my strengths, had fallen from 55x5 to 35x5. Now its back to 50x.

And what's more - this recovery has been through a week of cutting period whilst cutting the anti-depressant gained fat (in one week of cutting, my abs look like they have gone from 13% to 10-11% bf which is suprising to say the least, and they almost look like the avatar again)

In 3 weeks, once I'm happy with bf, I can't wait to bulk on less cardio - I've stopped comp tennis/squash - and no anti D's.

I'm hoping I can beat my father's PR's for bench (150kg) and chins (his own bodyweight attached) within 12 months (he was 5'6 and a 75 kg top 3 natioanl judo player at the time)

The only antidepressant I believe most people should mess with is WELLBUTRIN.
It is a cathinone-derivative and a weak stimulant. Dilates your eyes. No sexual side effects.
It's chemically unrelated to all the other antidepressants.

Other than that...fuck ADs

5-HTP is much more effective. than St. Johns Wort.
Serotonin is always euphoric.

Dopamine is only euphoric to a point.
Thats why X is always cool, but coke can turn people into paranoid assholes.

Wellbutrin is also sold as "Zyban". It helps people quit smoking.
 
bench now 110x5kg - back to original PB.

So I have gained 40kg on my bench in 3-4 weeks since taking lexapro. At 70 kg, this translates into 57% of my bodyweight.

I'm pretty excited now about the next year in weights.

For the next 2 months, I will not run, because my squats have always lagged (same as bench), and it's pretty likely than an hour of daily cardio (squash, running, tennis etc) is the reason for the fact that my squat weight has never developed like other body parts.

I still can't think of the reason for why lexapro fucked me over so much. I mean clearly I didn't lose that much muscle, because i regained the strength so quickly. It was as if my brain couldn't get them to work or something.

It would be interesting to get my testosterone checked, given I have an incredibly low sex drive, but I'm not sure how I could convince a doctor to try to get this medically subsidized.
 
Well, i pussed out. I tapered down and then after a 1 1/2 weeks of nothing i felt a terrible crash. I have a ton of stress right now at work and i had that empty bottle just sitting in my drawer. Damn if i didn't call in the script.

Ok, progress is 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards i guess. I'm going to re-group and plan another date. I have my L-Theanine and i'll continue to take that so i keep a constant supply in my bloodstream.

I'll report back when i have some definitely plans but for now i had to man up and admit what i did.
