Two days ago, I ceased the medication entirely. The withdrawal symptoms during the taper were mild and manageable. However on day two of no medication, they have hit me bad. </P> <P>The dizziness is at the point where I struggle to walk, nauseous/stomach cramps, headache, fatigue, body aches. </P> <P>My psych did warn me this may happen however I was somewhat unprepared and am concerned I will have to miss work this coming week. My boss is rather difficult to communicate with and unforgiving in terms of personal matters interfering with work.</P> <P>Has anyone else experienced withdrawals like this? Any advice for me please?</P> <P>Many thanks</P> Sun, 10 Nov 2019 07:08:36 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/panic-disorder-anxiety-medication-withdrawal/m-p/465593#M11394 Panic90 2019-11-10T07:08:36Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/panic-disorder-anxiety-medication-withdrawal/m-p/465594#M11395 <P>Hi Panic90, </P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">Thanks for sharing your thoughts..I've only just read it now and this is my first post ever..!</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;"></SPAN><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">S</SPAN><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">ounds really difficult with what you're experiencing..
