SSRI withdrawal is NO JOKE. Do not let your doctor convince you that it is all in your head or that it is your anxiety or depression causing the symptoms. More research needs to be done in this area. A two week wean is no where close to what is actually needed to safely stop a SSRI.

Thank you. I am one who tried to come off and went back on. Now that I am retired, and the good weather is coming, I am planning to titrate off---I have done that before and the withdrawal still sucks, may not even be any better, it just seems that as it leaves your system it wreaks a bit of havoc on the neurological system. And I have not heard of anything that really helps. Has anyone?????
