In reply to How to stop taking Anti-depressants, posted by Cindy on January 6, 2000, at 22:17:38
> Every time I try to stop taking meds I get terrible withdrawl symptoms and suicidal thoughts just to excape the sympotms and before anti-depressants I was NEVER suicidal. I've been told my symptoms describe VIRDIGO, which I'd never heard of. I feel dizzy, nausea, headachy, sea sick, tearful, and my ears feel like I'm in a tunnel or underwater. I can't remember ever felling this bad, only when stopping Paxil, Wellbutrin and now Effexor. Any thoughts on how to make it easier?
Go extra-super slowly. If it takes 3 to 6 months
then so be it. My personal opinion is that almost
all AD's have withdrawl effects which are not
well described in the literature and can be quite
severe - as you have described! Take care,
Sean.
