I definitely don’t suggest it. It’s an interesting experience if you’re unemployed and just sitting around doing nothing. But if you have responsibilities and work to do? Hoo boy does it suck ass to move around with it.
That’s not addiction. Addiction is just as much psychological as it is physiological, and goes way deeper than chemical dependence. Once you’re through the withdrawals of SSRI dependence you’re pretty much good, while an addict will most likely struggle for the rest of their life.
You come off SSRIs (with or without) tapering and get “The zaps” and tell me that’s not addiction.

The zaps can be fun sometimes
Sometimes I’m tempted to go off my meds just to see what that feels like
I’m not gonna do it but I like thinking about doing it
