@contentandwell- Yes, it's very common with other anti-depressants. In affect anti-depressants change the chemical composition of your brain, either trying to stop a certain action or enhancing it. Over a span of time it is essentially your new brain composition, akin to prednisone. Your brain tries to maintain homeostasis and in affect fights the change. This is way over a simplification. I'm not a chemist.

@merpreb Thanks, Merry, having to take these drugs really is a double-edged sword. I have never had a drug that I had any difficulty eliminating. I easily went from 40 mg of omeprazole to 20, and I took phenobarbital for a while (5 a day, before bed) and easily eliminated them. The neurologist thought they would help with my migraines. They did not, and they made me feel like a slug in the morning. I worry about people I know who are on anti-depressants, they really have negative effects along with the positive effects.
