Listen Later

Join us for today's episode as Blake shares a deeply personal and candid account of her experience with SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), discussing her 15-year journey with these medications and her recent decision to stop taking them. She reflects on her initial decision to start taking SSRIs as a young adult, her family's history of relying on pharmaceuticals, and the challenges she faced when trying to taper off these medications in 2021, highlighting the physical and emotional toll it took on her. Please note that Blake is not a medical professional, this is not medical advice, and she urges listeners not to make any medication changes without consulting professionals.

  • Gain insight into the transformative journey after coming off SSRIs, including the emotional and spiritual changes that can happen.

  • Discover how Blake's faith has provided her a sense of belonging, security and reliance on God while navigating this season.
