Strangely, I've gone cold turkey off of SSRI's and with the exception of Paxil, have never experienced the Brain Zaps or extreme withdrawal symptoms others report. I wonder why it would vary?

Also, sample size=1, CBD oil for me appears to have many of the anti-anxiety affects that the other SSRI's have provided me, with much less side affects. Although, the dosing is all over the map and varies from manufacturer, so that's a challenge. But it does seem to provide me some relief. I just hope I’m not doing long term damage..
