TFW: You discover someone is arguably serving a 135-year sentence in Oklahoma because someone failed to understand that times in a critical phone dump was UTC and not UTC -5.

I tapered off 50mg of sertraline and had an acute autonomic collapse a few days after my last dose. I’d had brain zaps, dizziness, gut pain, loose bowels, and anxiety etc while tapering down.
One morning, sitting on the back deck, I got sudden & severe overheating & abdo pain, dizzy, couldn’t stand up. Passed out and came to on the bathroom floor, surrounded by what looked like a month’s worth of colon contents.
BP dropped to 85/40, heart rate shot up ~160; this was after I came to, no idea what they were when I passed out.
My body felt like it was cooking from the inside out, and I remember thinking I was actually going to self combust.
I could barely move or speak, my body felt like heavy lead, and I slept for hours after. Lucky my husband was there to catch my fall or I probably would have had a head injury too. If he hadn’t been there to help me I could have actually died on the outside deck.
What followed was months of inexplicable inner dread and terror, intrusive & unrelenting suicidal and other dark thoughts, insomnia, nightmares, night terrors & waking up in a panic, sudden anxiety surges, restlessness, restless legs, terrible brain fog and fatigue, PSSD, and a completely trashed gastric system, plus other symptoms.
I’d never experienced these things in my life, only when I stopped the drug. I clearly didn’t taper slow enough.
About 2 years total to get to about 95% normal.
These drugs break people, they are dangerous.

i remember being pregnant and experiencing perinatal OCD while being in grad school for counseling and telling my husband that there should be women’s centers with midwives, doulas, and perinatal/postpartum COUNSELING to help guide women through this and here we are 13 yrs later
Trump selling wild horses to slaughter houses and then suspiciously talking about importing ground meat at lower than market costs…
Yeah, that’s not scary as hell?
