I will admit that I'm new to this app/site so forgive me for my lack do knowledge 😅

I am wondering if there are any support groups for coming off of SSRIs - maybe posting experiences and also offering support and encouragement through the battle

Thank you

I suppose the Depression Support Community or the Anxiety Support Community might be appropriate, because SSRIs are usually prescribed for those kinds of conditions, as far as I know.

Whether you can discuss medication here at all has been a little uncertain recently. You might find that some people object to it, or you might be OK. You could give it a go and see what happens.

I hope you have also found it useful to talk to listeners here about things. If you'd like to chat with me, feel free to send me a message.

@RarelyCharlie. We are listeners not professional doctors. So we don't give medication advice. But if you have a smartphone or samsung. I could advice relax melodies or headspace. I think 7 cup also have some path for us to go through too.

@Cielito was not asking for medication advice. They were asking for "experiences and also...support and encouragement through the battle". I think we can certainly share experiences and provide support and encouragement.

If you would like to recommend apps you have found helpful in the battle to come off medication, you could share your experiences too. There might be many people reading this thread who have mobile devices.
