About this episode
Tom Conway-Gordon was prescribed Citalopram and spent years relying on it. Then he decided to come off it.
His writing at All Washed in Black documents what that looked like — the brain zaps, the emotional numbness, the months-long withdrawal process, and what CBT gave him when medication couldn't. He's a writer, mental health advocate, and speaker who talks openly about the parts of depression and anxiety that most people keep quiet.
This episode covers antidepressants as a tool rather than a solution, what withdrawal actually involves, and the therapy work that made the real difference.
