If the side effects are too much for you, do what you have to do. But do take the doctor's advice on how to come off - if you do it incorrectly, you could make the side effects much worse for a while. Don't do anything without your doctor - that's the number one rule.
For me, the side effects were unpleasant, but not being on the drugs was far, far worse. I needed help urgently - the level of anxiety and depression I was at was unbearable. And staying on them made ALL the difference. I got free of anxiety and depression, thanks to the drugs.
