I was pretty good with regularly taking my dose, but decided to go off after I felt entirely emotionally numb to everything. The closest I could get was feeling deeply sad watching a movie with an emotional scene and realizing I didn't feel any emotion. I decided to quit mainly because of that and other issues (mainly sex taking forever and feeling a bit hollow). I halved my dose every 3 weeks and stopped around 5mg (from 40mg). The zaps fucking sucked and lasted heavily for ~2 months. Even now 8+ years later every once in awhile I get that kind of rollercoaster drop feeling in my head every few days that had preceded my zaps previously. It would feel like an initial void in my head, followed by a shock travelling from my feet to my head and I'd legitimately jerk my whole body while it happened. It made me feel depersonalized and I found it most tolerable dissociating physically and just mentally observing the effect occur. Walking seemed to trigger it the most, but I definitely had some times trying to sleep where I just felt completely zapped with discomfort (less electrical fwiw). I would have to smoke a ton of weed to sleep and still feel a lingering disconnect from my physical self. Paxil initially helped a ton with my social anxiety and depression (likely triggered by feeling of inadequacy and being left behind my peers). Now I'm awaiting a diagnosis for ASD. I've been able to cope decently without SSRIs/SNRIs but have more or less accepted the feeling of incompleteness that follows me eternally. I still feel generally lost in life purpose, but have accepted that as best I can. I'm not sure if it's the ASD or the SSRI's but I do appreciate the mental pathways they opened, it just never lead to a conclusion I wanted to follow through with. Everything feels pretty arbitrary, I just try to enjoy life as it happens now.
