Unfortunately this does happen with some drugs, with some people. It is a fluke when it does, but usually there is recovery over a longer period of time.

It was the old trycyclic doxepin - have seen 5 different doctors - all say impossible but then they dont believe in benzo withdrawal that I went through 21 years ago...or in SSRI withdrawal that thousands on PaxilProgress go through
