I stopped it for a month because I couldn't afford it an honestly I thought I was going to die. I almost went to the hospital. I would get the "zaps" mentioned, also---a lot. I was dizzy, I was angry, I wanted to die. The "zaps"--can't think of a better way to describe them--were horrible. Please talk to your doctor about titrating you down slowly rather than just stopping one med and starting another. Mine lasted for almost two weeks. Please encourage your doctor to titrate--unless they have stopped the med themselves, they don't know what it's like. Obviously every one is different, but this is a med that should be titrated.
