Re: Extended water only fasting whilst taking Fluoxetine and Mirtazapine antidepressants

Hi Archus,

Thanks so much for your very informative and encouraging reply. In regards to weaning off my meds over the course of a month, I don’t feel confident that I’m stable enough to do that yet. My Depression is very severe to the point of being suicidal and attempting to end my life 5 weeks ago. So needless to say, I’m pretty desperate. I have been feeling better for the past 3 weeks, but still not great.

I’ve looked into natural forms of serotonin such as 5-htp and tryptophan, are these better than AD in your opinion? And could I use one of them to bridge the gap whilst weaning off my meds?

Kind regards,
