I don’t knownif anyone else has been on an anti depression drug but i recently
got taken off of my prescription and i’m not doing so well. mentally i’m feeling a little
more stable than I have been lately but I can’t keep any food down and I’m hot
and cold at the same time and my insomnia is back. Is any of this a normal reaction
when stopping a prescription like this?

it depends how quickly you stopped… hopefully you were tapered down by a doctor – for example, if you were taking 20 mg of something, then the next week you should take 15mg, the week after that 10mg, etc, until you are down to nothing. If you have stopped taking the meds yourself or your doctor didn’t taper you then of course you’re going to have negative side effects… your body is almost in shock. Otherwise, I would suggest speaking to your doctor/psychiatrist…
Well I was on 2 different 20 mg dosages. I told the doctor it was making things worse so she took me off them immediately.
I didn’t know I was supposed to be weened off of it. I hope it doesn’t last long it feels like I’m going through
Withdrawals.
what medication? (if you don’t mind me asking)
Its alright. Prozac and olanzapine..
