@canadaanj- Welcome to Connect. I understand your fear and frustration. The mind/body connection is so complex it is very tough to figure things out. I call this the "What works for some people doesn't work for others" syndrome. It's so complex that it doesn't make it easy to figure things out, eve for doctors sometimes. It sounds as if you are having a mixture of reactions to your withdrawal. And I do think that you withdrew way too quickly. Remember that as you withdraw the feelings that you had before will return and are in a combined with withdrawal symptoms.
@jakedduck1 - Can you help @canadaanj come up with a better schedule for her? Thank you.
Feeling of Depersonalization are very very common for anxiety and depression. I sometimes get it even without withdrawing from any medication. I have a much longer history of anxiety and depression than 10 years. I think that you mean unreality and this fits in with the Depersonalization.
May I ask why you have been on an anti-depressant 10 years ago? Was there a major event that happened? I feel these feeling because I have PTSD. Might you have it too?
