Rotten to go through it, Ali.
Keep your pecker up...

Pico, I had horrible side effects from Fluoxetine (Prozac) so I was taken off it after a week. But then I went cold turkey - stupid, stupid - on Paroxetine (Paxil) without withdrawal symptoms. I'd been on it for a while. Then again I never had physical withdrawl from alcohol or nicotine, so perhaps I'm not prone to it. (This is probably nonsense!)

I'm now on Citalopram (aka Celexa, Cipramil, Celepram, Emocal, Sepram, Seropram) and get by on it so well I'm not even fussed about coming off. I feel I have a correctly balanced chemistry now. I can't believe I used to make myself physically ill from sheer anxiety, and thought it was normal. I'm on 40mg.
