I, rather sillily came off my anti-depressants a couple of weeks ago - "just like that" and i would nt recommend it to anyone as after suffering rather horrid withdrawal symtoms I feel confused, muddled and rather down in the dumps which is no way to be when you are a mother of two small boys. Just hope these feelings won't last too long - "this too shall pass". God willing i will be back to my old self in a couple of days or weeks. Thanks for listening.

Hi, Jo--

I am sorry to hear of your pain. I encourage you to look further down the forum list where you will see the "mental health" forums. A lot of people with depression problems post on there, so they probably know all about withdrawal and such.

Wish I could help, but I have nothing to offer on this subject but good intentions . . .not too useful!

Thanks, regards, Clark

I hope your doctor knows about this...

Definitly get a hold of your doctor and maybe get back on the antidepressant?

I used to up and go off my meds..........every now and then I will forget them for 2-3 days in a row.......oh boy!! I get right back on them and remind myself how awful it is to stop them like that.....it is not good.

Hope you find some relief!!

Uh why did you get off the anti depressants so abruptly? Perhaps it's a better idea to tell your dr you wanna quit them. They are usually willing to help you taper them properly.
