Please read and take notice of this before you begin to withdraw an SSRI. This is IMPORTANT information.
3-4 weeks is NOT enough time to wean off an SSRI, no matter how long you have been on the medication. Despite what your doctor says, please believe me, this is not enough time.
Reduce your medication over a number of months (3-4), using liquid form of the drug if you can. If not, break your tablets up and DO THIS SLOWLY.
I came off escitaprolam 10mg over 4 weeks and have been in absolute hell for the last 10 days. The symptoms are quite simply horrendous.
You might be one if the lucky ones who comes off these meds and feels nothing - but its not worth the risk. I have done much research on this subject, and its very common, but unfortunately the drugs companies do not put this on their literature.
Please message me if you need any help, I do not want people to suffer as I have.
