Hi @senthilnathan subramanian, glad to have you here. ❤️ Congrats for getting off the benzo. As far as the SSRI...yes, too many changes with anything can cause destabilization. If you can find a method that works and stick with that, then things should settle down over time. We're here to help you with whatever issues you're having! Catina 🩷
