Hi Anon - Thank you for writing. What you're describing doesn't sound like the typical symptoms people experience from stopping antidepressant medications. According to the Mayo Clinic, antidepressant withdrawal may result in:
* Irritability
* Anxiety
* Sadness
* Insomnia
* Headaches
* Dizziness
* Fatigue
* Nausea
I'm sorry you feel so bad. Do you have a healthcare provider? It would be helpful to work with a medical professional to learn what is causing these symptoms, and some tests may be needed to diagnose and pinpoint your condition. It would also help to work with a medical professional to withdraw from the antidepressants as they're strong medications and stopping them abruptly can create new problems. Will you let us know what you decide to do and what you learn? Thanks, Pat
