Technically no, I don't think it is but this is a topic that is being hotly debated in England at the moment particulary involving the drug paxil. Some people do get withdrawal symptoms from short acting SSRI's and some get them quite severely. I think what you are experiencing though is a common agitation reaction to SSRI's that disappear after a fortnight or so. I had the exact same problem on Cipralex (Lexapro) it was tough going but it gradually went away in the end.

If it is a major problem see if your doctor will prescribe you some valium for a week or two.

Take lepraxo on a morning because it has a stimulating effect (this would also explain the decrease in appetite).
