My Mental Health Story | antidepressant experience on Vortioxetine, Venlafaxine & Trazodone

Описание: I felt the need to open up and be honest with you all about my mental health journey and explain my experience on SSRI & SNRI medications. I also go into depth about the side effects of each medication. Everything online is not always as it seems. We are all struggling in our own ways and going through different life shit :/

TW: I speak about mental illness and being on medications. I also talk about the negative side effects from antidepressants and the withdrawal caused by these SSRI & SNRI's.
