hey musky,
i would hang in there, i suspect it's your mood talking. i had some heavy ups and downs during my first few weeks after my last dose. it's scary to wonder if the drug is irreversible, i know. i was on it for a total of about 6 yrs.
i don't honestly know if ADs do permanent damage to your brain but i do believe that depression and anxiety affect the brain, as does therapy...other people on these boards know more than i do, but i remember reading a book years ago about how talk therapy affects not just how you deal with your feelings as they come up but the actual physiology of your brain processes. powerful and kinda beautiful stuff, i think. this would all lead me to believe that nothing is irreversible when it comes to psychiatric drugs (unless it's something like heart or thyroid damage, maybe?).
but i honestly don't really know what i'm talking about. :)
hang in there - you know what you're doing and your body is wise.
take care,
jules
