In reply to Diagnosis - Withdrawal from SRI vs Benzos, posted by SLS on May 25, 2005, at 7:57:25
they seem so distinct and yet I'm without words.
Benzo withdrawal causes me irritability, tension (in my intestines too), insomnia, muscle aches, nail biting, exaggerated startle response, increased worrying and obsessing, increased depression or a general dysphoria and a horrible sense of dread!
SSRI withdrawal causes me mild brain zaps, and I never thought about it as withdrawal, but I do get more anxious and eventualy more depressed. Sometimes I actually feel euphoric if I just cut out Zoloft for a day.
