Yes, you’re going to feel horrible when they start going back into your system. You need to make sure you speak with your physician if you try to get off of them again. There can be some terrible side effects if you don’t do I the right way. Disregard anybody on here who is a self-proclaimed doctor. Your physician knows what is best for you, so keep him/her involved in any decisions you make. It should only take a few days for your body to get used to them again. Good luck to you


This. Talk to your doctor.

Most antidepressants require a taper period. Don't try and stop or start on your own without discussing with a real doctor.

Definitely take this seriously. I had an uncle who decided to cold turkey quit Paxil. He flipped out on his wife, then shot the window out of a police car that responded, and had an all night standoff with the cops surrounding his house all while not really understanding what was going on. He died in prison.

Make sure you're talking to a doctor when adjusting these meds.
