Take Care,

With all the hubbub about ssri withdraw its probably better ease off the med rather than just stop cold turkey. I cold turkey'd off both effexor and cymbalta (supposedly the worse actors) and didn't get much more than a head rush ( it feels like your brain is 'flipping' ) once in a while for a couple of days. Not pleasent but not disabling.
Follow the Doc's advise, that is what it comes down to (not us armchair assistants).
Be well and good luck.........................yutzman
