Thank you again for the input, support and advice to those who responded, and those who sent their intentions. Honestly, I wasn't sure anyone would read yet another Introductory Essay. This is a sign of genuine community, (caring for the least able).

My deepest sympathies to lysergify.  It was the wake of my spouse's bipolar disorder that prompted me to experiment with SSRI's.  I can see now that this was a big mistake and I am a little embarrassed to be complicit in the decision. In truth, I employed SSRI's in an attempt to stop feeling perfectly rational emotions.  A little wiser now, I realize that any pain I avoided by tuning down the emotional capacity of my brain was missed opportunity. Pain drives you deeper, sheds ego, and refines priorities.  Sort of like camping trips, it's your worst memories that you cherish.

To D_Juggz, once I get off this highly addictive and spiritually detrimental drug, I will never take another like it. I started taking Omega-3 to mitigate the Zaps, (my most prevalent and distracting symptom, literally hundreds per day), and am in the process of purifying/tuning my body for a higher spiritual purpose.  Once I purge the poisons from my body, I will try to contribute something worthy to this site. I know the timing is right. My astral body has started loosening from my physical body spontaneously in my sleep.

Kindest regards,
