Hi all,

I have been on citaolpram a long time. I came off it once before, a few years ago, then went back on after having a crisis and breakdown. Long story short, I had another crisis and breakdown while on it a year ago and am skeptical that it does much. Plus I am well and sick of the sode effects.

I weaned off and stopped altogether 2 weeks ago tomorrow. At first I was having the zaps and dizziness, which were hard to handle, but I got through. As those have gotten better, though, I have started to feel more anxious and depressed. Today I'm feeling all the things I usually feel during heightened anxiety: tense stomach, loss of appetite and tension. But worst of all, feeling sad, worrying about everything, and a general feeling like something is very very wrong in my life.

My question is, is this just an effect of the withdrawal? Will this even out over the next couple of weeks as my body adjusts to my new seritonin levels?
