I am currently on three meds; Olanzapine, Citalopram and Bupropion. I am considering stopping taking at least the Olanzapine and the Citalopram. I have gained fifteen to twenty pounds since starting them, and I have experienced bad withdrawal symptoms when I've tried to stop taking them, without my pdoc's advice... I feel that I am addicted to them now that I know how bad I feel without them, and this really scares me.

If I do stop taking them all together, how long will my withdrawal symptoms last? When stopping Celexa I have had dizziness and a zapping, electricity feeling in my head. When stopping Olanzapine I feel like I have a fever, or my body is made of wood - very hard to describe - I can't sit still and my heart races.

I'm hoping if I get off these drugs I will lose the weight. I'm kind of scared though, because things were really bad before meds... I don't know what to do.

Any advice?
