I simply cannot get of SSRI's. I have been on Valium, Bromazepam, Klonazepam, Lorazepam, and Xanax, all at theraputic doses for over a month. I tapered off within a week. Coming off of them I just feel a little restless. Coming off of an SSRI, your whole world comes crashing down. You're angry, you're irritable, you're hot and sweaty all the time, you're sad, you're anxious, you can't sleep, you're delusional, you have no motivation, you're weepey, no humour,..........
and the list goes on and on.
The doctors who prescripe SSRI's for anxiety under the pretences that they are non adictive like benzodiazapines are so far off these days its not funny.
When heroin first appeared in cough serups it was advertised as "Non addicting like other avaliable cought syrups" [other cough syrups which then, as now, contain codiene]
