This isn’t a gentle tapering journey.
Hi, I’m Bek, an Aussie mum who came off anti-depressants... cold turkey—after nearly 2 decades.
It wasn’t planned. It was survival.
Night sweats. Panic. Insomnia. HRV tanked. Resting heart rate shot up. And the worst part—doctors couldn’t see it.
They swapped SSRI to SNRI and back again & adding meds. Ran tests. But never asked the real question: Could the anti-depressants be the problem?
Only after hitting breaking point did the real diagnosis come: ADHD. And suddenly, everything made sense.
This channel shares that story—raw, unfiltered, and unmedicated.
I talk withdrawal, ADHD, misdiagnosis, Oura data, recovery—and what helped me survive when the system didn’t.
Not medical advice. Just lived experience. If you’re going through this, you’re not alone.
