In reply to Help EMSAM Withdrawal - Anxiety, posted by JohnSky on August 23, 2007, at 16:25:02
I expect that would be a pretty atypical reaction. When I quit EMSAM all I could do was sleep. I slept all night and a big chunk of the day for better than a week. Anxiety was the furtherest thing from me. Hopefully it will subside in another day or two.
As a side note, the only time I've ever even felt anxiety was when I quit parnate (after only 3 weeks). I didn't even know what anxiety was prior to that, but it was so bad that I thought I was going to have to call 911 or something. It was like being on fire (without the smoke). It certainly gave me a new understanding of all those who have to deal with such feelings on a daily basis. I'll take my anhedonic can't get off the couch depression over that anxiety stuff any day. Nasty stuff.
