Well, I definitely get all the "brain shivers" that people talk about, and dizziness when I move too quickly. I also get highly irritable and emotional, and tend to lash out at those around me. Additionally, I can feel my self-esteem decreasing. I start to feel inferior to everyone around me, and this makes me depressed as hell. The only good thing about withdrawal is that I do have somewhat of a sex drive. Oh, and I also feel sick to my stomach and physically weak, almost like I have the flu. But meds make me feel weak too, so I don't know...Anyway, that's about it. Sound familiar? P.S. The drug I've been on for the past 3-4 months is Cymbalta. Before that, it was Celexa.
