Lexapro, Klonopin, and Bodybuilding???

[dr0832]

Thats how I am right now and I have not taken any anti-depressant ever. I am not intentionally being the way I am on purpose. I think I need something but I don't want to deal with withdrawl. I have gone through withdrawl from 2 years of ambien use and it was pretty bad. One thing that really is driving me nuts is my father is a doctor, and hes been trying to get me to take the stuff, for instance he brought me a sample of lexapro, but he will not listen to me when I tell him that you get addicted to this stuff and can't even go a day without it, and go into withdrawl. He wouldn;t even believe I got addicted to ambien despite the fact that he prescribed it for 2 years to me when he new your not suppose to take it for more then 2 weeks.

I slowly tapered off Klonopin...Took 2 months to do. I have been completely off it now for 1 week. No withdrawal...Withdrawal should set in about 30 hours after the last usage, which is the half life of the drug. Nothing...I feel great. As for the lexapro and other SSRI's...I ran out of my prescription 4 days ago. I refilled but haven't picked it up yet from the pharmacy. No withdrawal to report. none! Its almost 5 days now and I feel great. Sleeping is normal. Appetite seems up??? Yes I am irritable...I think it translated into a better workout. I don't feel as spaced out as I did while on Lexapro. My workout also seemed more inense. I don't think that the withdrawal from SSRI's is much of anything. I am excited about this...it feels good to not be on anything now except for creatine and multi mineral vitamins.
