> Scott: thank you. but Rats. I want to cure myself of both the depression and the medication. I guess I still have to stay on them, and look the blimp.
I could be wrong, you know.
It is sometimes hard to tell the difference between depressive rebound and SSRI withdrawal. However, if you are overwhelmed by feelings of a crushing depression along with the anxiety, it is probably the former. How many days passed between the last dose of Zoloft and the appearance of symptoms? If it was longer than a week, I think that would argue for depressive rebound. Work with your doctor. Perhaps it is time to adjust your treatment regime. Prozac might not cause as much weight gain as the other SSRIs. I really don't know what to advise you.
These are SSRI withdrawal symptoms. How many of them do you have?(a) dizziness or light headedness
(b) nausea and/or vomiting
(c) headaches
(d) lethargy
(e) anxiety and/or agitation
(f) tingling (parasthesias), numbness or "electric" shock-like sensations
(g) tremors
(h) sweating
(i)insomnia
(j) irritability
(k) vertigo (dizziness)
(l) diarrhea
