Hi...Have been on 30mg for a little over a year now, went cold turkey about a week ago (thought I had another bottle, am disorganized and haven't sent in my mailorder scrip), and now I feel like crap. I have to laugh, cuz it's my own damn fault for not keeping on top of my med supply, not knowing abt. this w/drw business, and now realizing I don't want to be on this junk anymore. I have been on Prozac, Wellbutrin, Lexapro,and Cymbalta at different times over about a 15 year period, always with a "drug free" stint lasting up to 2 years before going on my next "fix". Never have I felt this lousy for this long coming off something. Driving is the worst for me, followed by moving my eyeballs too quickly...I know that sounds funny, but it's true. I do find exercise to be helpful, and I am hoping I can sweat this stuff out of my system quicker...is that possible? Also, I find my appetite to be insatiable...am I eating for comfort, or does my body really need it? So, I am at day 7...will this get worse, or better from here? It sure sounds like I have a long road ahead of me...ugh. I feel for everyone out there.
