You didn't state whether you "quit" cold turkey or slowly tapered off the dose, and what dose you were at.

Just about all the antidepressants, since they alter neurotransmitter function in your brain, can cause withdrawal symptoms if stopped suddenly or tapered too fast. This isn't "addiction," but an unfortunate side-effect of the medications.

I had a horrible withdrawal to buspirone (the worst and most worthless drug I've ever seen) and it lasted about a week -- electrical shocks, mood swings, and more.

I know it feels horrible, but it is only temorary.
