So awhile back I was put on an antidepressant medication for... well, anti-depression. Not much of a big-brainer there.

Anyways, we ended up switching brands 'cause reasons, and the new brand decided it'd be a right good prank to make me feel randomly sick all the time. I wasn't entirely sure what it was that was causing all those nasty symptoms, so I opted to take a control day without medication. Sure enough, it was the meds, so I decided to stop taking them, hoping that I'd have gotten my anxiety back under control for the most part by quitting my job and keeping up with school and all.

It's been a couple days since then, and earlier today I started feeling really weird. At first it was just stomach pains, and I figured I'd just overeaten or something (the fact that we were running for PE wasn't necessarily helpful either). The symptoms kept at it, though, even to when I'd gotten home and sat down for an hour or two to watch Attack on Titan.

So I looked up a couple hunches of mine and my mom's, and apparently all the symptoms I'm having are exactly as listed for sertraline withdrawal. Now, naturally, this whole gig is just part of the system. Withdrawal is a thing that happens, and I only really have to contact my doctor about it if it happens to last for awhile.

But lemme tell ya... this sucks.
