What is the worst advice you've ever received in your life?

I have never gotten side effects/withdrawal effects from antidepressants until Viibryd which I started taking a few months ago. Like in the past, I could literally just stop taking whatever I was on cold turkey with no problems. But with Viibryd, If I miss a dose, I will have the most utterly fucking crazy nightmares and dreams. And if I try to wake myself up from them my body does everything it can to pull me back into the dream. The couple times this has happened I feel like I'm going psychotic and I forget where I am and who I am. Makes me wonder what this shit is doing to my brain.

But it's helping my depression tremendously so it's all good. And really, the withdrawal effect is a good thing because it means I can't forget to take my medicine or I'm in for a disturbing as fuck night.
