Your symptoms sound like SSRI withdrawal syndrome. As someone else mentioned, tapering is essential with SSRIs. I know it's hard to tell the doc you want to quit the med, but if he/she's knowledgeable, he/she should be able to help you.
Oh, and you don't have to believe that when you stop you're experiencing the syptoms the SSRI was treating and that this is what you'll be stuck with. Not so.
