I tell anyone contemplating anti-depres. Meds to avoid this one unless no other reasonable choice available.

The withdrawal reality

This is horrific to come off. Four weeks off today , all I do is cry for no apparent reason.. am so scared all the time. How they allow pharmaceutical companies to make these drugs is beyond me ....

This is a particularly bad one. My kids are telling me I look frail. I'm not eating on purpose. It's just that food doesn't appeal to me. I cannot tell if I am feeling sick or hungry. I am beginning to wonder why I decided to get off this drug in the first place.
