> I am not sure you were on an SSRI long enough to get "destabilized" from it. While you will definitely experience withdrawal, it should only last up to 3 months for short-term users. Your conditions may be part of the underlying illness and not SSRI or withdrawal related. Have you gotten your blood checked out?
That is not accurate.
While not admittedly common, there are people who have had adverse reactions that have suffered for months. Someone just posted on the Paxil Progress Board who was in this situation but who fortunately finally recovered.
Also, please reread the symptoms the person posted. Some of them could be related to depression (I don't think they are but I can see why people would feel differently) but others such as bloating are definitely not depression related.
