mixed, i recently went off an antidepressant that i'd been on for years. i knew the withdrawal effects were supposed to be awful for this drug and they were. it sounds somewhat similar to what you may be experiencing. one thing that really helped with the overwhelming stress (a lovely withdrawal effect of this drug) i experienced was to do a detox tea. i can't remember the name of the one i did but i got it at a health food store and you drink a gallon of tea over 3 hours. it helped a lot with the stress which was a side effect from going off the med. the tea was a box that had ~16 teabags, was specifically for detox and cost around $16-20. don't bother with the cheap ones you can get at the grocery store but a good detox tea can help a lot. i've done it twice now and it greatly helped flush the residue of the med out of my body. i don't normally feel irritable or cranky but boy was i when i was going off that med.
