Hi River, Gee I don't know but maybe it is a withdrawl of some kind as you may suspect. Some of these drugs have a long residual effect and I would think that maybe your brain may be trying to reajust to the lack of chemicals. I had taken Zoloft years ago and though in the begining it did help as you say, it made me feel tired. I finally decided to go off of it on my own. I don't think I did it cold turkey though, I think I just lowered the dose and gradually lowered the chemical in doing so. Did you ask the Pdoc if this can sometimes happen? Usually pdocs don't like a sudden stop in any medication.

I also tried Welbutrin and that made me feel very aggitated as if my brain was playing some kind of proverbial tennis match or something. I finally just couldn't take it and decided to just stop taking it altogether. Within about two days I felt so clear headed and my pdoc didn't like that I just stopped taking it all at once. He was on vacation at the time so I just decided on my own to stop it. But I dont recall having any headaches. Fair warning, a lot of people cant stand Welbutrin, just incase that becomes an option to consider. I had not been on Welbrutrin all that long, perhaps that is why I didn't have a bad withdrawl. But some of these antidepressants can be very hard to just stop, don't fool around, get informed.

Let me know how you make out, but make sure you check with the pdoc and see what he/she thinks.
