Side effects:: Antidepressant withdrawal syndrome

Date: Jan 03, 2010
Advice & Tips: Although this treatment took away the symptoms of fibromyalgia, i didn;t know this until after I stopped taking this and they returned, I found it impossible to continue taking this drug due to its short half life (the time it says in the body) and the withdrawal effects that would occur within 6 hours of missing a dose such as hot cold sweats dizziness and palpitations. I had to reduce to 20 mg and combine with fluoxetine to be able to come off of this drug. Never again.
