Psychiatrists are being forced to face the evidence that SSRI withdrawal symptoms are indeed long lasting and damaging to physical and mental health. The descriptions written by patients who stopped taking these drugs tell the true story. SSRIs are a class of compounds typically used as antidepressants in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and some personality disorders. A team of professionals set out to study websites where former SSRI patients had posted their personal withdrawal stories.
The team then tabulated the types of withdrawal effects reported by those living through them. In Sept of 2012 “Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics” published the results in a paper contributed by these researchers from the Department of Psychology at the Univ. Of Bologna, Italy, the Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program, at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA and the Departments of Psychiatry and Medicine at McGill Univ., Montreal, Canada. The researchers found that patients indeed had significant withdrawal symptoms while trying to quit the SSRI and significant post withdrawal problems long after they had stopped taking the drug.
The authors discovered two phases of SSRI withdrawal. The immediate withdrawal phase lasted up to 6 weeks and contained both new symptoms and a return or intensifying of symptoms they’d had prior to taking the drug.
The immediate withdrawal phase is known to have caused: • headaches • agitation • irritability • nausea • insomnia • feelings of ‘zaps’ • electric zapping sensations described as ‘washing over the entire body’ or ‘riding on a rollercoaster The second phase began 6 weeks after the drug was discontinued. These post withdrawal disorders rarely disappeared on their own. In many cases reactions were so severe that the person returned to his previous drug treatment. Here are the post withdrawal disorders found that lasted for years or became permanent.
• Tardive dyskinesias – involuntary movements of the tongue, lips, face, trunk, and extremities (well documented to last years or indefinitely without a known cure) • anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety and panic attacks • persistent insomnia • major depression • bipolar illness • disturbed mood • mood swings • irritability, • poor stress tolerance • impaired concentration • impaired memory These effects are horrible enough when read in a list but devastating when read in the victim’s own words. “I was given Seroxat (same drug as Paxil) I took my last pill, after 5 years use, in September 2004. Since then my life has never been the same, even now 6 years later, I suffer debilitating symptoms daily, I have never had a full day without some symptom of WD.
Ongoing problems that were not present prior to taking this drug are: anxiety, panic, depression, headaches, sinus problems, recurring infections, fatigue, heartbeat irregularities. The list is endless after 6 years of pure hell and loss of social life, work life and family life that this drug has taken from me, I really just want my life back now. I’m not kidding myself I really don’t think I will ever be what I once was.” “The insomnia from Paxil WD for me was horrible! I went for weeks with NO sleep. That was 17 months ago and I’m still only getting 3–4 hours of sleep per night. I am tired ALL the time.
Before taking the Paxil, I was an excellent sleeper! NEVER had a problem sleeping in my life. Now I don’t know if I’ll ever sleep well again. “The first time I stopped taking Zoloft was after jaw surgery, and oddly enough after 5 days was more concerned with the WD symptoms from the Zoloft (although I didn’t know that’s what it was at the time) than I was with my broken face. This is while on pain meds.
I thought they might be the cause. I realized at about day 5 that I hadn’t taken the Zoloft and that might be the cause. I took one dose and the brain zaps stopped.
That scared me.” “I began having very scary and unusual problems such as electrical shock sensations in my head, dizziness, disorientation, inability to concentrate, and loose stools among other things. I was very frightened because no one seemed to know what was wrong with me. I started taking the Zoloft again and my symptoms disappeared, that’s when I realized that I had been suffering from Zoloft WD.” “I slowly started weaning myself off of Celexa in January because it had stopped working and I was miserable. 8 weeks later I really began to experience ‘‘discontinuation syndrome’’. Each day is a different combination of symptoms. The ‘‘physical’’ symptoms such as dizziness, difficulty tracking things visually when I move my head, ear pain seem to diminish whereas mental symptoms seem to get worse.
My anxiety is sky high and I’ve experienced depersonalization for the first time. The sweating and chills get better one day and then get worse the next.” “I’ve been on Prozac for almost 15 years. I have tried to get off meds numerous times only to go back to them because of WD symptoms and fear. For the last five years I’ve had facial and body tics, muscle spasms and other side effects. I’ve been off Prozac for over six weeks now and feel horrible. Tics and spasms seem worse sometimes, too. Still, I’m going to make it this time, I know it.
I hope and wish that all of us who just want to be free of SSRIs will finally succeed. We gave into the belief that we couldn’t stand on our own, but what if, during all this time, WE COULD?” “When I got off the drug the first time I was hit with pretty strong WD at the time brain shocks, dizziness, etc. It really freaked me out back then ‘cause there wasn’t nearly as much info about SSRI WD out there, and of course my doctor said that there was no such thing as SSRI WD. Slightly over a year ago, I tried to lower my dosage (which wasn’t that high to begin with), but I believe I did this too, and was hit with some of the worst panic attacks that you could imagine. Weird thing even though I have suffered anxiety all my life, I NEVER had a full-blown panic attack until trying to stop this SSRI!
“I did not start showing any WD symptoms until two weeks after stopping the Lexapro completely. These symptoms include brain zaps, occasional nausea and bouts of anxiety. The worst symptom by far is the itching all over my body, but mainly in my face, arms, chest and stomach. It is the type of itch that does not make you want to scratch at yourself so much as just rip off all your skin. I had heard the horror stories of Lexapro but never fully appreciated them until I started going through it myself.” “I only had brain zaps for 3 to 5 days as my first WD symptom. Never had them again afterwards. But I have several other issues.
Burning/dry skin, off-balance, weird headaches, strong gastrointestinal problems, weird body feeling, numbness/pain in fingertips, tinnitus and lots more. They change by the hour and every day is different.
It is a bit better than the windows/waves phase I had prior to that, because most symptoms do not stay for days, but for hours. Comment Installer Des Applications Sur Iphone 4 Avec Itunes. Still, no minute without any symptom and I can’t do any sports or stressful things as they increase symptoms. Somehow feels as in my Central Nervous System has no clue what it is doing. (Lexapro withdrawal) “I’ve been suffering SSRI WD syndrome for more than 5 years.
During SSRI WD, I’ve had severe SUICIDAL INSOMNIA for 4 straight years which did not respond to any drugs. I also have severe panic attacks and severe depression. I know that you may think that it’s unusual for SSRI protracted WD to last this long (more than 5 years), BUT IT DOES!” Psychiatrists continue to downplay the severity of the damage caused to people taking SSRI drugs in order to encourage new patients and greater sales.
It’s encouraging that a few in the psychiatric profession have now pointed out what patients themselves have to say about SSRI withdrawal. I was on a low dose of Prozac from 1992 to 2000 as a treatment for chronic pain. I tapered off of it gradually after I realized that it was leading to cognitive dysfunction, making driving dangerous, and giving me sudden suicidal and homicidal impulses that felt like they weren’t even coming from me. In fact, I wasn’t me anymore. I went through a long period of serious illness from the withdrawal, but got better. The chills, fatigue, emotional lability, and terrible brain shocks lasted for another 8 years or so. At times I could only stop the shocks by sitting completely still in a quiet room with my eyes closed.
They are gone now, but I still have stress intolerance, hypersensitivity to sounds and smells, memory impairment, hyperalert responses to sudden movements nearby, and the killing of my sex life appears to be permanent. All that for something that never even helped my pain. Hi, I’ve just seen your comment. I finally came off celexa and wellbutrin 6 months ago after a long time tapering. I suffered brutal sweats and chills non stop (every 10 mins)for 4-5 months but that’s now stopped thank goodness.
I have really felt dead inside with short periods coming back to life, they seem to be getting better. I’m intolerant to any medication which crosses blood/brain barrier, all have horrible adverse effects – forget any sleep meds, have the opposite effect and are highly stimulating.
I had some alcohol a couple of weeks ago and it made me really unwell for couple of days. The brain zaps took about 3 months to go completely and are now gone. I have constant muscle tremors mostly all down both legs and sometimes a facial tick which goes on for hours. I also suffer bouts of acid reflux which I’ve never had before.
But again getting less frequent. As a woman, my periods stopped completely as soon as I stopped taking the AD’s and haven’t returned. Most disturbingly, my breathing has been affected when laying down or falling asleep. Feels like I stop breathing and jolt awake constantly.(this is all to do with damage to central nervous system) Slowly I’ve noticed the last couple of weeks that’s getting better too. I’m sleeping much better now.
I do feel very tired still and flat and not a bit like socialising but I am definitely getting better. I cannot imagine trying to hold down a job and go through this. As far as I’m concerned- impossible I’m a sane, sensible, science based woman and not at all into pseudoscience or alternative medicine. These symptoms are all incredibly real and debilitating and I’ve done extensive research for months. I hope this helps •.
Exactly what happened with me, i left this therapy after one month and half, after i took 70mg attempting to suicide, this medicament is horrific, i was not acting “myself” and everyone surrounding me thought i was making up stuff, while i was simply hypnotised, my brain now changed drastically i stopped this medicine because i felt like my immunity system was fighting it as a foreign mass, my capacity of retaining things reduced as hell, my creativity retracted, i cant mind something happened to me 4 years and earlier before, this med is a disaster people shouldnt be takiing it. I’m unsure who to send this to, but I am going through Zoloft WD >many years if use. I identify with many of these posts, thank you for the honesty. Karen’s comment’feeling dead inside” is particularly notable. When I began Z over 10 years ago, I experienced a ” snap, crackle, pop” phenomenon in ky head slmost immediately and thought, “Well, this stuff is working!” And it didfor many years. I felt like I was the REAL ME but over the last year, the opposite has occurred. The solution has now become the problem.
What about any homeopathic treatments, vitamins, etc. To deal with WD??? I have been in Zoloft for approx 16 years and was put on it when I was very young (around 20 years old) for very bad depression and anxiety after a difficult immigration to another country. Virtualbox Create Serial Port Pipe here. I have attempted so many times to come off of it and am now from 100mg down to 50mg.
This has taken me 6 months to achieve. The WD was hell and I think I will never be the old person I was.
I did it bc I felt it wasn’t working any more and that I have been having a lot of issues that I feel the Zoloft has greatly contributed to (jaw clenching and grinding/ acne/ I still feel like I can’t relax ever and need to be on the go all the time/ Gerd and diarrhoea every day/ insomnia/ thyroid problems and very dry skin.) I feel like I’m at such a loss as I have tried so hard to get better but hits can’t get there. I have 2 children and the pregnancy specialist insisted I continue through the pregnancy with the Zoloft. Something I regret. I wonder how this awful drug may have affected my children.
They were very difficult babies for the first few months, could they have been going through withdrawal? My eldest has learning issues and various problems. I have found a combination of nootropics helpful (GABA and Ltheanine) has helped a little. I want to thank you for sharing your story!! I am so sorry Christi 🙁 I am currently having WD from VeneflaxinThis is my second time being on an antidepressant. I started with Citalopram last year treatment for anxiety and depression side note: when i went in i knew i had been suffering from burn out doctors would not and still wont acknowledge that i was and still am suffering from severe burnout due to over working, school and just lifethey just prefer to only treat the 2 symptoms out of the 12 I’m experiencing from severe burn out and those symptoms are anxiety and depression.
I started Citalopram around Feb last year and the side effects just starting the medication were difficult, strong gag reflexit affected my sense of taste i felt like I was going to throw up daily. I stayed on it for about 3 to 4 months then went through the initial WD symtoms I rode them out but it was scary and concerning like many of you have mentioned with your withdrawl symtomsif I had missed one day I would have extreme WD symptoms (Vertigo, nausea, or felt like I was dying. The good thing is I was forgetting to take it which showed I really didn’t need it anymore. For one you can’t just take meds and be all honky dory it’s a process now when you speak of docs are you talking about a counselor or just your regular family doctor? I don’t believe all people should be on meds period many times depression and anxiety can be situational which I kind of see with you. I think your family gave you great advice and I think a behavioral therapist or a LPC could help you better than the meds!
The first things regular docs want to do is prescribe you a drug because for one they make money off of it. I have been taking Cymbalta for many years as I have suffered major depression disorder, anxiety, social anxiety, PTSD ETC stemming from childhood experiences and adult experiences It has worked for me and I think it’s simmering down but I take the highest dose there is! But not only do I take meds but I see a counselor and that has helped me the most! Just thought I would give you something to look into.I’m not just blowing hot air I have a degree in this stuff lol •. Dear Christy, totally understand what you are experiencing.
I have the same problem. I was taking SSRI for more that two years, actually about 4, when you consider stopping and getting back on them. I am now almost six months without it, and it is horrible. I had social anxiety,but now is much much worst. I barely get out of the house, I am afraid of people even more, I am angry all the time, and have mood swings. I am afraid to get out of the house,no motivation, lost interest for everything, my life is living hell.
I am constantly tired,low energy, afraid to be alone. I would make these doctor take the same medicine for years,to see how they ruined so many lives.
If anyone wants to sue this health system, I am definitely for. Hope we all recover! I took 10mg of citalopram for less than 6 months after I became depressed about dropping out of university. Since I stopped my life has been a living hell. I have experienced the vast majority of symptoms listed on this page at some point or another. It is a very unusual illness.
The symptoms can come and go at any point in time, even if it has been weeks since I last experienced them. I have had symptoms everyday since I stopped the drugs, over 2 and half years ago. The problems only started once I discontinued the meds. Ban these poisons! I’ve been on SSRI’s since 2000 for loss of a loved one then it was menopause moodiness etc. I’ve taken Lexapro, celexa, cymbalta and the last one prozac.
I’ve tried to get off of them many times but the withdrawal symptoms were awful. I ended up on Prozac because I was told it is the easiest to wean off of and less withdraw symptoms. I’ve been off of it for 2 months now. It seems to be getting worse. I wake up to ringing in my ear.
A swishing in my head and dizziness. All this is constant. I feel physically achy and joint pain. I feel like I have the body of a 85 yr old but I’m only 62. I am to the point where I feel weepy all the time due to all this discomfort.
I have nothing to be sad about my life is marvelous. Please if anyone is reading this don’t go on an SSRI. Read, read and talk to qualified person first!!! It’s so not worth it. It didn’t help me out anyway.
Had I know these withdrawal symptoms I would of NEVER!! There are more symptoms I just can’t describe that just are awful. The symptoms are mainly in my head, inner ear.
Sometimes when I stand up I get so dizzy and the pressure in my head feels like my head may blow up. It takes a while to ease out of this. I seriously am thinking about starting up again because I can’t take it. I don’t want to though. My doctor put me on Zoloft for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 20 years ago. I have tried to go off it a few times (half-hearted attempts), but in May, I had my annual physical, and when I attempted to refill my RX, my pharmacy advised me they had to get a “pre-approval authorization”.
Knowing this would not be quick and easy (I was right), I thought perhaps it was time to try again. Not a good time with everything that was going in my life (my only child leaving home), but better than having to quit cold turkey because I didn’t have my medication. I tapered over a period of about 6 weeks, and it has now been about 7 weeks since I have been completely off.
I went through a period of vertigo, and other symptoms, which were unpleasant, but tolerable. Now I find myself suffering depression, irritability, and anxiety, which I have never had before.
I was beginning to wonder if this was really withdrawal, or if the SSRI had rewired my brain in such a way that this is going to be my life now, unless I go back on. I seem to have a few days here and there that are tolerable–even pretty good–but then it all hits again. I am 60 years old, and I am trying to hang in there, because from what I’m reading here, this most certainly CAN “just” be withdrawal! Best wishes, and God help us all!! It’s been a few years since you wrote your comment. I was wondering if you were able to stay off the drugs and if things eventually got better for you?
I’ve been off celexa for a month now. After 3 weeks of mostly physical withdrawal symptoms I’m dealing with insomnia and pretty bad depression amongst other things. I can’t really believe how bad it is. I was put on the celexa after our baby died.
I was in grief, not depression but I listened to the doctors and nurses telling me over and over how I “need” to be on an antidepressant, just in case. That was 11 years ago. I stayed on it for so long because of an over abundance of life diffulties such as husband didn’t work 3 years, health issues, bankruptcy, foreclosure, moving to a new state, and on and on. We had our share of difficulties. Anyway, I want to stay off it and make it through this. I just guess I need some encouragement at this point. I tried getting help from the professionals but it seems they think I’m exaggerating.
She actually said I may need to “suck it up”. I want to know this horrible feeling will eventually go away. I want to know it’s worth it to go through this. I want to know My brain is not permanently damaged and I will eventually feel like living again. Helen, I hope you are doing well!
Thanks for any comments! Wildflower •. Hello Ms Karen, My name is Sumit (40) and I am from India. Hope you are doing well. I read your post about withdrawal effects of ADs.
Two points caught my attention and startled me. One is acid reflux.
Another is difficulty breathing on lying flat and while sleeping. Actually I am having these two problems since 2015 and I started on ADs in 2013 and finally gave up last month.
I am depressed with this insomnia and breathing difficulty so much that I have no energy left to even look for a job. I have lost two jobs so far due to my breathing and sleeping issue. Now, I wake up in middle of night feeling choked.
I was a very good sleeper and used to sleep for continuous 8-10 hours till 2015.. Now I wake up totally tired and irritated. I have otherwise no breathing issues while walking or exercising.
Even my lung function is around 120 percent ( FEV1 ratio is also good at 77%). I wish to ask how you coped with this menace and how long this breathing difficulty lasts ( I know it can vary from person to person). I just do not want to start ADs again. I would be very much obliged if you could reply to my query. Like you I am also a scientist but lost my last two contracts ( one in Germany, another in India) due to my sleep issues. Thanks & Regards, Sumit.
I was on citalopram for over 6 years, for over 4 years i tried to quit the drug, but the WD was too bad and i got too scared so i started it again. In aug 2013 i took my last dose of citalopram, from have been weaning it off slowly over a years time. Its 8months now from i took my last pill, still im suffering from many wd symtoms. It goes up and down all the time, ive had since i quit and still today extreme muscle pain in my right leg all way down to my foot.
I suffer from tinnitus and loose my memory all the time. I have migraine and blurry vision, panicattacks (which i never had before i started this medicine) i cant tolerate stress, im sensitive to strong lights, loud sounds, and coffeine and some food. Im feeling ill all the time, like throwing up for no reason and the list can be soo long.
Since my doctors are not supporting me and not believing me im suffer from WD not even from the start i find support from others going thru horrible WD symtoms. Love from Sweden •. I’ve been on citalopram 20mg for over 7 years and then tapered down within 2 months. It’s been almost 2 years since I tapered off it, and I still suffer very bad mood swings, severe anxiety, insomnia, and stress intolerance (actually sometimes I feel like I’m almost going to faint from stress, even when doing just simple chores). I’m also very sensitive to caffeine and get bad anxiety crashes from it. You’re not alone, I can feel your pain and despair.
I was wondering how you’re feeling now, over 3 years after the withdrawal? The zaps were horrible, I got rid of mine after 4 months, I would get zapped up to 100 times a day, and was miserable. I titrated slowly off Citalapram and the side effects were shocking, no pun intended. I use omega Brite fish oil, quality cod liver oil, cardio B, a multi vitamin and young living essential oils, and turmeric supplement with black pepper in it, for inflammation. No more zaps, zap free, FU zaps, also my mood is getting more manageable.
Some days are worse than others, but the more I eat well, and exercise, and take these other supplements, the better I feel, I hope this is helpful info, as no need deserves to suffer like this❤️ •. According to Ronald J Diamond M.D.,’Every time a patient comes into your office, your emergency room or your hospital, there is a very real possibility that what seems to be a psychological problem is caused by some physical illness. The depressed patient may have an under active thyroid gland. The patient with panic attacks may have a pheochromocytoma, a tumor that secretes epinephrine. And the patient, whose personality change and increased irritability is thought to be caused by his marital problems, may actually have a brain tumor causing the personality changes and exacerbating longstanding marital issues.’ “ •. I was 14 when my psychiatrist put me on Lexapro for severe OCD and depression. I took 15 mg for five months before stopping it as it was having no effect of my illness.
It has been two months since I discontinued and they have been absolute Hell on Earth. I’ve had a migraine every single day, when previously I never had one before, have had to endure many tests to see if I had a tumor, as well as dealing with the horrendous pain. I have been betrayed by my healthcare professionals, whom I trusted with my life, because they denied that Lexapro had any withdrawal effects and led me to believe I could have a serious, life-threatening illness. These SSRI drugs should be banned!!!! I say, ask a psychiatrist if he or she would ever take one, and you can bet they’d say no but they won’t hesitate to turn around and wreck your life with one for the benefits they’ll get from the pharmaceutical companies for doing so.
I’ve been on Zoloft for 11 freaking years, and it is almost impossible to get off of in my opinion its worse than nicotine withdrawal, a hangover and being punched in the face all at once. I’ve tried tapering myself off and it is nearly impossible. In my opinion this is the worst drug ever invented and doctors give it out to kids like its candy. P.S it doesn’t do a thing to help with depression anxiety or anything else it supposedly can help. If you are considering taking Zoloft I would recommend taking a sugar pill, because it will be just as effective and you wont want to die if you miss a dose.
I was on lexapro for about 4 mos. The doc decided it would be a bright idea to wean me off of lexapro and put me on wellbutrin. I began weening off of 20 mg of lexapro down to 5 mg in about a month. Then down to 2.5 mg a day then off what ensued then was I was more depressed than ever. My mind was completely blank, headaches, body aches all over my body, bad sinus pressure, my pupils are dialated, and eyes are distracted by everything making me feel very paranoid. I can’t remember anything can’t think strait, i m lashing out on people at work Complete cognitive meltdown. Hi My girlfriend recently did a slow taper off citalopram.
She was on the drug for 6 years at varying doses from 30 to 20mg, with multiple unsucccessful attempts at stopping the drug. We finally made a plan for a slow taper and were able to get her off by putting the 10mg pills in a liquid solution abling her to taper down by 1mg every few weeks. So far it hasn’t been easy; her WD symptoms consist of the general anxiety, depressive feelings and emotional turmoil and fatigue. She also has had extreme hot flashes in the first 2 weeks, which seemed to have passed, and also severe burning in either her palms or back of her head which would happen every 2 or 3 days usually in the evening. However, the worst of it all is a severe full body itching that can persist for days. Currently she has been in this severe itching state for 5 days. It is very distressful emotionally and physically for her and it is hard for her to function at work like this.
She is on her 4th week since she had stopped the drug. Does anyone have any similar experience and know why this is caused and when it could stop? And anything that could help her get relief while we wait? Hi, I am experiencing the same issues coming off Celexa. The only think helping me at this point is Xanax. It helps calm me down and makes my nausea go away and obviously the sleep benefits are wonderful. However, xanax can cause severe withdrawals as well, even fatal.
They do not last as long though, a couple weeks tops. I don’t want to get hooked on the xanax either so I use it sparingly and only as needed. But, it is just a quick fix and doesn’t do anything to heal the actual symptoms. I am looking for something natural to help with the withdrawal from the Celexa. They helped me with my anxiety and depression but now it is worse than ever to where I never want to take Celexa again.
Good luck to you all •. I’ve been sneezing my head off! I’ve tapered off prosak over the last month from 60mg to 30 mg. I’ve been on it for a year for ptsd anxiety. The sneezing started a few days ago. We did some early spring cleaning and I had to stay outside while my husband vacuumed. I do not normally have allergies.
Chest was heavy and eyes and nose were itching like crazy. I’ve been able to deal with the WD symptoms up to this point. I’m going to be so pissed if a long term reaction to getting off this Rx will be allergy sensitivity! I’m 51 and have always been in good health. This sneezing is exhausting me; however my anxiety issues are much better. I’ll just be a happy and care free sneezing idiot. I took Lexapro for 9 days.
The dose for the first 6 were 5mg. On day 7, I was instructed to go to 10mg. About 8 hours after that dose, I started getting pin-prick sensations in my finger tips, intermittent burning skin on my palms and forearms. This condition lasted constantly for four days. I decided to cut back to 5 mg and the burning/stinging sensations subsided.
After one day of 5mg, I decided to stop taking it altogether. It did nothing more than worsen my depression and anxiety and cause physical pain. I’m still in a bit of a withdrawal fog, but I’m managing. Still getting the occasional tingle/numbness in the hands/fingers. The intensity of this seems to be directly proportional to my level of anxiety. When I’m calm, there are little to no sensations.
When I get worked up, they returnbut never to the stinging level that I experienced while on the drug itself. While not as common as the other side-effects, I have seen several reports of aggravated parasthesia. It is listed as a known side effect, but it’s marginalized because it’s less common.
Been bad for me too. Was on SSRIs for 15 years until a week ago. Paxil for 4 years, Celexa for 10 years, and Zoloft for 10 months. The Zoloft withdrawal was (and still is) a live horror movie. The physical problems (zaps, vertigo and dizziness didn’t last too long, but it was the psychological that have been a nightmare. Violent dreams, sleep walking, disorientation in public, dysphoria, depersonalization, and (to my shock) thoughts of death. The last isn’t what I would call suicidal, per se, but almost as though a demonic force from deep within is taunting me, saying “C’mon you know you’d be better off!!” I feel like my identity has usurped.
I did not have a diagnosis of depression before I started meds; just OCD. I want to scream from the rooftops – DON’T.TOUCHZOLOFT!!! It is poison; poison to the body, mind and soul.
I know EXACTLY how you feel. I’m 16 years old and was prescribed Zoloft last year for depression. I decided to wean off it this year because I was so tired of taking it. I did NOT WANT pills to “improve” my life. That’s a bunch of lies.
I’m now 1 month, 26 days without Zoloft and I feel like an emotional wreck. I’m still feeling really bad anxiety (but this can also be from my P.O.I.S., I believe), definitely fatigue ALL the time, DP/DR, and suicidal thoughts. I have no more hope in this world and in myself anymore. But I know that I HAVE to hang in there. I just have to. So to anyone who’s reading this: PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY PSYCHOTIC DRUGS! THEY WILL DESTROY YOUR BRAIN, BODY, MIND AND SOUL.
I’m really sorry to say this but it’s the harsh truth. I really regret going on this stupid drug. I should have said no when my doctor asked me if I wanted to go on an antidepressant. I’ll be praying for everyone who’s suffering including me. God bless you all and take care. Already 3 months in. Still getting really bad anxiety which DEFINITELY IS FROM THE WITHDRAWAL.
My anxiety was NEVER this bad before going on the drugs. I’m worrying about things that I’m not supposed to be worrying about.
I’m constantly worried that something bad is going to happen to me. It’s eating me up inside but I’m fighting it. I’m so angry with these pharmaceutical companies that I could sue them! I truly wish that we could sue these companies for creating such dangerous, terrible drugs.
Exactly what I needed to hear Shadow! I’ve been off the meds for 2.5 months.
Feeling emotionally unstable generally (waves & windows), insomnia, severe anxiety, rumination, & bouts of fatigue, depression, and irritability. My last attempt to get off the SSRI’s was a few years ago; I wasn’t ready, got scared and went back on the meds. Today, I have more support, awareness, ambition, and faith that I’m making a healthy decision this time around. When I’m feeling overwhelmed I naturally question whether I “should” be doing this, because I’ve been made to believe by society, the drug companies, and my pDoc’s, that I NEED to be on these drugs the rest of my life. I’m not buying it anymore!
I was put on SSRI’s, in my early 20’s, prior to being diagnosed as Hypothyroid AND while still abusing drugs & alcohol. I think it was negligent on the part of K@!$3r to even put me on them in the first place, due to their lack of testing & understanding of my situation.
I do accept SOME responsibility for this decision, but I def feel foolish & regret being so trusting in the medical care I was receiving. Sometimes I just need to hear some words of strength, compassion, and hope to continue moving forward despite the turbulence. I refuse to go back on it just because the doctor says that I need the celesta to stop the anxiety attacks. I feel horrible on it and I really am not depressed. I don’t want to kill myself, run away or feel like I am nothing.
I never felt like that but now that I am off I feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxiety attacks, totally exhausted and feel like my life is out of contro! I never felt like that before the mess and honestly I was heading in a good direction until I fell at work and ended up incapacitated for over a year. I am hoping the anxiety attatcks eventually subside because I get them just relaxing in bed or doing something I enjoy.
It is crazy what problems you have after you stop the medication. Then my doctor says that I need the medication to stop the attacks. Seriously, it is a constant battle at the doctors office. They don’t want to help or listen they just want to put you on mess which they say makes things all better. Honestly, on the Medes I felt like a totally different person. I had no more confidence in myself, no desire to do things with my children, no desire to better myself and just wanted to sleep and let people run all over me.
That is not me at all. I agree with you that if you just hang on and ride the withdrawal symptoms out it will eventually go away.
This is my second time going off depression meds and I have only been on them this time for 2 years. I was on them the first time for over 10 years and it took me a while for the w/d symptoms to go away. But once they did I felt like myself again.
In fact I started making great changes to my life and got out of an abusive and loveless marriage. I loved him but he did not care about me or our kids and always made sure I was on meds to basically keep the blinders on my eyes so I didn’t see the cheating, abuse or just didn’t care because I had no self esteem at all. I wish these doctors would warn people of what these drugs can seriously do to harm the mind and body. Thank you all for your posts. It has helped me tremendously.
Take care and hang in there. I want to thank you for sharing your story!! I am currently having WD from VeneflaxinThis is my second time being on an antidepressant. I started with Citalopram last year treatment for anxiety and depression side note: when i went in i knew i had been suffering from burn out doctors would not and still wont acknowledge that i was and still am suffering from severe burnout due to over working, school and just lifethey just prefer to only treat the 2 symptoms out of the 12 I’m experiencing from severe burn out and those symptoms are anxiety and depression. I started Citalopram around Feb last year and the side effects just starting the medication were difficult, strong gag reflexit affected my sense of taste i felt like I was going to throw up daily.
I stayed on it for about 3 to 4 months then went through the initial WD symtoms I rode them out but it was scary and concerning like many of you have mentioned with your withdrawl symtomsif I had missed one day I would have extreme WD symptoms (Vertigo, nausea, or felt like I was dying. The good thing is I was forgetting to take it which showed I really didn’t need it anymore. Hi Len, I have been trying to stay off of paxil on and off since 2008. I was put on it in 2002 for anxiety. I have been off of it since February this time and went through the electric shocks which have stopped at this time. I am experiencing horrible depression and just feel like I am no longer who I used to be. I am a physician myself and am so angry that these drugs have been sold to the public at all.
I believe they are poison and very destructive. No one really know how they work. They are highly addictive.
I cannot tell you how many times I find myself saying “oh just go back on it” but I keep reminding myself that if it really worked I would not have had the desire to stop taking it. I just cannot imagine going through the initial withdrawal again but I feel so horrible I sometimes feel life is not worth it. The only thing that keeps me going is my belief in God. I saw your post and just thought I would respond. Thank goodness for this site! I wish you well!
I am weening my 17 year old daughter off of Lexapro after being on it for 8 months. She wanted to try to deal with her anxiety without relying on medication. She decided to stop taking it without telling me and has been suffering terrible WD. Blurred distance vision, disassociation, agitation, fatigue and other things. I as her mother should have looked into this more before letting her Dr prescribe it. If I knew this would be such a b!tch to get off of I would have thought twice. I do want to encourage you all to read about taking supplements to help with your symptoms.
My daughter is trying it. I have started her on L-theanine, B-Complex, Omeag 3, and a Multi-vitamin. Today was for first day so I will report back on how she is doing.
I do want to encourage everyone that is trying to get off of SSRI’s to push through the best you can. I know it isn’t easy, but it will not last forever. I am currently helping my 23 year old daughter to survive her fluoxetine withdrawls. I am so angry! They took my mildly PMSing girl and wrecked her!
She has these seizures that effect the left side of her body. She has angry hostile outbursts, then crying fits. She has shooting pain that feels like a hot wire running down her left side. She’s lost 60lbs in 3 months. I just want my baby girl back. The funny, happy girl. My heart is breaking.
I know the guilt you are talking about. I wish I told her not to take it.
Or that I had researched it first. I can’t believe this is happening. I was on paxil for 3 years for depression and anxiety.
They said it was unusual to have both. I quit paxil on my own, and found that it was harder to quit than the cigarettes or crack cocaine that I’d kicked on my own in my youth. The physical and mental withdrawal symptoms are near intollerable – but I did it, lost my head for a bit to do it, but I did it – and so can you. I missed doses a bunch of times, then finally went cold turkey. It really helped that I didn’t work for two months while I was getting it out of my system. I’ve been off Paxil for over a year an a half.
I am concerned that there are long term negative effects after using the drug. I have been completely off of Lexapro for 8 weeks now and this is the worst hell I have ever experienced. I even weaned off slowly over the course of a couple of months.
I went on it for severe anxiety and after a while it wasn’t helping anymore. I never tried to go above 10 mg though. After a year, i decided to wean off. Ever since stopping the medication I have been in chronic pain every single day. In the beginning i also had terrible brain zaps but those eventually stopped.
I seem to have different symptoms every day but the aches and pains are pretty much constant. My mood swings are horrendous and I am so depressed from all this pain. I am 27 and feel like im 80. I just had a bunch of blood work done and I’m waiting on results. I am scared to death and want my life back. I’m so tempted to just go back on it so that maybe at least the joint/nerve and muscle pain would subside.
I can relate to all of the people posting about their horrendous withdrawal experiences. It’s been six month now since I’ve stopped taking SSRI’s (after being on them for over 13 years), and I still feel drugged up as if the drug/drugs are still working in me! They rarely worked while I was taking them and now it’s as if my body is producing more serotonin when it shouldn’t be producing any. Some days are better than others, but I still have worse depression and anxiety than I did before I started these drugs. Moreover, I have daily vision disturbances such as shadows and silhouettes in my eyes.
Had I known this would happen I would have NEVER taken the drugs in the first place, or stayed at very small doses while taking LONG BREAKS from these evil drugs!! My name is laura I was on Prozac from 2009 until 2013. I started tapering off in December 2013 when I was 3 months pregnant with my 2nd child, and stopped completely in march 2014. Since I first started tapering down life became a complete living hell for me, my husband and our daughter.
I thought it would only take a few months to feel normal again, but I haven’t felt normal since. I have become a complete monster. The sound of people chewing or licking their lips makes me want to strangle them, literally. I have a take-as-needed anti anxiety medication that works wonders and is the only thing that’s kept me alive and my family together, but even this isn’t strong enough to keep my Prozac withdrawal symptoms in check. I have severe panic attacks almost every day and night. My daughter sees me struggle every day and I know its going to take its toll on her. Hi Laura, Are you sure it’s not your ‘anti anxiety medication’ that’s causing your symptoms?
I am someone who has suffered from anxiety for 15 years and I’ve been on and off Prozac for about 8. I’ve now been off all meds for 7 months. My absolute WORST anxiety was caused by xanax. The last time I went on Prozac the doctor also prescribed xanax to complement the meds as I was loading (and experiencing increased anxiety).
I would feel completely blissful once the xanax set in, but the next day I was horribly anxious, would have intrusive thoughts, etc. I have NEVER experienced anything like this. This only happened the day after I took xanax.
Since then, I have never taken any benzos. I simply do not trust them. As I said, I am now completely drug-free. My Prozac withdrawal symptoms, which were only really bad for the first 3 months, have now disappeared. I do get mild anxiety and low mood once a month, but I think this is more related to PMS. Best of luck to you and stay strong!
I really wish there was more independent investigation into the side-effects of these drugs. Hi Paula, I know it’s been two years since your post but I wanted to reach out to somebody who has actually weaned themselves off of Prozac. I have been on 20 mg for 9 years after my husband died in airplane crash. I’m in a really good place now and I want to wean off of it and the doctors keep telling me no but I’m doing it anyway I’m a month into it. Cut 1/2 down.
I’m getting some headaches but the real problem is I itch everywhere and loss of appetite. I plan on continuing my taper from 6 pills a week for a month to 3 pills a week for another month then to two and so on. Will I make it?
Any helpful suggestions for me. I’m a very happy person I know I can do it without these pills. Thank you for your time, Linda R •.
