I've been on a fairly high dose of an anti-depressant for the past five years, but for the past six months my depression has come back with a vengeance, so my psychiatrist suggested changing medications because I was already on a high dose. Anyway, I have tapered off the original medication and started the new tablets, but the withdrawal symptoms are really bad.
The past week and a half I've had brain zaps, dizziness, a weird pulsing feeling in my body, nausea, heart burn, headaches, insomnia... I can barely walk or stand, even sitting up makes me feel dizzy and nauseous. I wake up every hour or so during the night. My anxiety and depression symptoms are going crazy - shaking all the time, bursting into tears over nothing.
I've withdrawn off this medication before, and I remember it being bad, but not as bad as this. At the worst, I feel like I'm dying. I don't know how long I can cope with this, or what I should do.
