Hi Lisa,
A lot of people w/ SSRI withdrawal syndrome have found benefit from switching to an AD w/ a long half life like Prozac for a few days at the end of an SSRI taper. This drug gradually clears from your system after you stop taking it, so it makes discontinuation a little easier for some. Maybe ask your doc about this option?

> I read a little more today on this "SSRI Withdrawal Syndrome". It appears that many of my symptoms match up, but they are Very Very severe. I'm not one to run to hospitals, and to be honest with you none of this is scary to me, as in I building fear on fear as some would probably say is happening. These are only physical type symptoms and nothing more. There really is no psycholgical aspect to it that I can admit to as far as I'm concerned.
