I knew that was from withdrawing from the Luvox (SSRI) too rapidly. I had a bottle of Zoloft, and since I haven't had very bad side effects from Zoloft I took a small amount of it, hoping to ameliorate the withdrawal from Luvox. I was able to eat a little bit this morning, thought if I could eat a little more I'd get some energy. So I made the mistake of eating mac and cheese. Not smart.

I'm drained, I'm heading into depression, I don't know what to do now, and I need advice from my med dude. I'll call Monday morning and tell them I'm extremely sick and need to talk with him. It's so frustrating when everything online says, "If you are experiencing these symptoms speak with your psychiatrist immediately." Ha. Yeah, right.

Is it something life threatening? Can you go to a psych emergency services? Or the ER in general?
