Well I experienced nausea and hot/cold flashing and of course, insomnia and marked crying and depression. But I had also dumped my Lamictal which I was taking at 200 mgs daily. So it being a mood stabilizer . . . I'm sure it was a combination of both that was affecting me.
I was unable to just kick it cold turkey and the half-life must be pretty darn brief - I got side effects quickly from withdrawal and called my Doctor - she gave me enough until we can meet again but told me to just stay off the Lamictal, which I found strange since going cold-turkey off of Lamicatal can cause seizures and is a very serious mistake.
I've been pretty close to the edge the past few nights - thank God for friends you can call in the middle of the night! It's hard to do, but I'm learning that if I need help I can ask for it. Obviously, flushing meds down the toilet is not a good idea and if I hadn't done that I wouldn't have had to bug my friends. So no more med flushing for me.
