Antidepressant Discontinuation Syndrome

Today I learned there’s a specific term for the symptoms I’ve been dealing with lately: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressant_discontinuation_syndrome

And apparently it’s known for this to last for months. That’s. Not fun.

Most of the worst of it has passed, I think, but I still occasionally get some of those symptoms. The most annoying ones being extreme sensitivity to sounds/light for a while, falling asleep seemingly at random, and then waking up feeling fully energized seemingly at random and then suddenly running out of that fully energized feeling and just feeling tired but unable to sleep for hours.

I dunno. I’ll manage. I don’t plan to go back to taking those meds if I don’t have to. But I figured now that I know there’s an actual term for what’s happening to me, I should probably make a note of that somewhere.
