Can i ask Paula what it feels like Going through withdrawal? Is it the same feelings for everyone or do people differ?
Would like to here from other people and their struggle with addiction coming off meds.

From Wikipedia
People with discontinuation syndrome have been on an antidepressant for at least four weeks and have recently stopped taking the medication, whether abruptly, after a fast taper, or each time the medication is reduced on a slow taper.[1] Commonly reported symptoms include flu-like symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, sweating), sleep disturbances (insomnia, nightmares, constant sleepiness). Sensory and movement disturbances have also been reported, including imbalance, tremors, vertigo, dizziness, and electric-shock-like experiences in the brain, often described by sufferers as "brain zaps". Mood disturbances such as dysphoria, anxiety, or agitation are also reported, as are cognitive disturbances such as confusion and hyperarousal.
Psychosis is also known. I haven't suffered hyperarousal or psychosis but everything else.
Additionally, I've suffered what my psychiatrist thought was serotonin syndrome in the past, though they weren't sure.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
