Hi, im having a problem here were im feeling electical shocks throught by body and brain. I beleive its because i stopped ssri's. But i was on lexapro for months. then lowered the dose to 10mg, then to 5mg for about 10 days. Then i stopped. Its seemed the "shocks" started a few days later. They seems to get worse after a few days. So thinking it because of ssri's, i have a script of paxil. I started a low dose regiment at night with remeron. Today i noticed the "shocks" werent as frequent. Well see as the week goes on.
Does anyone know what is causing this problem? Is there a way around it or do i have to stay on ssri's for the rest of my life. Believe me, i dont like the feeling. This happened before when i stopped zoloft, but i was on like 100mg, and stopped cold. This time, i intentionally titrated my lexapro to 5mg then stopped.
any advise suggested?
