In reply to Post SSRI side effects--anyone found a way out?, posted by wzlong_D on August 24, 2010, at 22:59:12
First, did you taper off the drugs? That is, take a little smaller dose each week until you were off the drug? That is the best way to withdraw from a drug without bad effects.
If you are still feeling bad, you may want to try a short course of Prozac (fluoxetine). The Prozac regulates some of the transmitters that are being withdrawn from the drug, and due to its short half-life it is usually easier to withdraw from. That's how I got off Effexor when the withdrawal effects were bad.
I'm certainly not the smartest on this board, hopefully others will also post with suggestions and explanations.
