This is a few months down the road from when this was published, I stumbled upon your ‘Tea Jar’ strip and have spent the last however long it’s been going thru from the first. I love the comic, I lol so much.

I wanted to write and say that I’ve been off of SSRIs for about a year now, I was on the maximum dose (60mg) Citalopram for about 5 years..

I wanted to link you to a journal entry of mine I wrote at the beginning of this year because it sums up what I would say to people if they asked my advice on when they should come off of brain drugs. I notice that these comments are moderated before they ‘go live’ & i have no problem with this link appearing on the site, but also if you wanted to keep this comment just for you that’s also cool. I love the comic, keep it up!

just my humble opinion, but I figure that should be a decision that should be made by a qualified physician…

Oh, I meant to mention — I notice above that Matt has six fingers on his left hand. He’s not hiding from Mandy Patinkin, is he? :)

Best off luck with the weaning. I’ve tried that on a number of occasions, most recently about a year ago at my doc’s suggestion. After a few months she concluded I was better off with them than without, and I didn’t argue. It can be a very gradual slide back into what I’ve come to know as The Pit, and often I don’t notice the slippage until I’m in it pretty deep, sort of like the lobster being boiled or whatever that analogy is.

Boo, I’m gonna miss the Olympia Comics fest. I’ll keep an eye out for another of your local or semi-local to SeaTown appearances, though. :)

Emily, We had just gotten out of the shower. We hang out naked a lot, but we do so after having dried off ;)

Sulagna, I try to keep my avatar really simple and cartoony so that readers can relate to it better. The more specific and detailed a design is, the less a reader will generally feel a connection to it. I dunno, just draw a bunch and find out what feels right :)

Maris, hey! It was great to meet you too! You’re awesome!

Cait, Aw man, what a great comment! Jeez, thank you <:) Your comment didn’t show up at first because they go into a waitlist that I have to approve before they’re public and it can take me a while to get around to it.

Jake, Yeah, I just got too busy and tired to do them weekly /:) I’ll prolly do one every now and again, on special occasions.

Austin, Scott, Lola and Jaybo:
Aw jeez!! Thanks so much for coming out to the reading :D I was so stupidly nervous but it went over way better than I could have hoped for.

woo! it’s been a couple months since I weaned myself off my anti-depressants, and I still feel pretty good. I didn’t tell anybody I wasn’t taking them anymore because I was afraid they’d all say the only reason I was feeling so good, like I didn’t need the meds, was because that’s how the meds are supposed to make me feel.
