Panic Man,
We are understand that there are times when we just cannot help others and need to help ourselves.
Where the side effects you were having really bad? Unfortunately like you said SSRI's definately have the potential to make you feel like you are in another world and I personally hate that feeling. (One of the reasons why I am not on antidepressants anymore) However, I have to agree with the other comments...just be careful in taking yourself off something. I might talk to my T about the side effects I was having? If it helps maybe the "hazy" feeling will wear off after awhile.

Stay strong,
Jessica
