I really need some advice. I have tried withdrawing from Seroxat numerous times and always ended up increasing them to 20 mg and stabilising. However, after chats with my Doctor and also the desire to start a family, I started to withdraw. So, I went from 20 mg to 10 mg which wasn’t too bad. Well I say not too bad, I just about survived the dizziness and nausea oh and the brain zaps. Anyway given that my Doctor will NOT give me the liquid version I had to withdraw in 5 mgs stages. I am now off the tablets completely and have been for 2 weeks. I feel dreadful, in fact I feel like I am about to die. As I have been off for 2 weeks I really do not want to re-introduce the tablet into my system but not sure how long I can live with these symptoms. OK so here goes, brain zaps, dizziness, nausea, retching, indigestion, upset stomach, lack of concentration, no appetite, headache, feeling like I am going to die, argumentative, tetchy and so the list goes on.
Will these symptoms ever go and how long before I start to feel ‘normal’ again ????? Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Spike
