The same thing happened to me too. I was only on it for 2 weeks, but experienced withdrawal! My doctor "forgot" to tell me to taper off the dose gradually. I was only taking 75mg, but he said he was sorry he forgot to give me 37.5mg for a week to reduce withdrawal. You should've tapered off your dose slowly. Now I think you should seek your doctor's advice since you just quit "cold turkey" at a rather high dose. As my doctor said, "never stop taking your meds without calling me first!" Good luck!
