What happened to your meds Smirfy?

I had to go cold turkey on 40 mg prozac, TBH it wasn't nice but only lasted 7 days and got better each day, sorry for not being more positive.

Only done it from Citalopram and straight onto Duloxetine, which is what physch dr wanted.  But he gave me Clonazepam to help me through it.

well my perscription ran out and as I don't have much money I can't afford the meds. I have been feeling really spaced out, nauseas and had strange pulsing sounds in my ears. I get paid next week so I will be going straight back on the meds then but at the moment not feeling so good.

Kate agree with Zaf, your dr may be able to prescribe something to help you through this.

There is no point seeing my GP, I have already been told that as i have reactive depression no medication can help, they were only giving it to me to make me sleep. But it made me sleep too much, made me constantly ravenous and spaced out. I am not taking it again.

At the risk of offending people, if your life has crumbled around you so you end up with reactive depression, taking ADs might make you feel slightly happier about your life crumbling around you, but they won't fix the issue in the first place. And that is what I want fixing, but every time I see a light at the end of the tunnel, it gets blown out or the tunnel collapses and it gets dark again. I cannot cope anymore

Kate I know anti-depressants will not help you but maybe they could give you something to help with anxiety  &*(.

Withdrawal is hell on earth, If I had realised that withdrawing from my meds was going to be like this I would NEVER had agreed to take them in the first place.
According to the hospital staff I am experiancing discontinuation syndrome, why are the risks not printed on the label, why are we not warned of this before we start taking the medication, where in the information does it warn us of this??

Well hear it is people before you decide to ween yourself off the medication prepare yourself for the hell of withdrawal!!!
