Experiencing Medication Withdrawal Symptoms Return

rswfire reports experiencing physical withdrawal symptoms over a week after initial cessation, describing severe insomnia and physical distress during the first three days. He consulted ChatGPT about the symptoms and learned they can return due to neurotransmitter imbalances.

The withdrawal experience has made him reconsider those perspectives. rswfire declares his intention to never see his doctor again and avoid all medications in the future.
