Give your brain a shot. Believe me when I say that I can empathize. I am going through the same thing right now after coming off of depakote, zyprexa, and lexapro. I have the same exact symptoms as you do.
Anyways, things that have really helped me in the last week have been tons of exercise. Even when I feel my crappiest I go out and get on my bike. It definitely helps.
Second, I was in a terrible emotional state coming off these and I am still having my difficulties, but I have made a decision to turn my life over to Christ and I can already feel the difference. Will that take away your symptoms like a lighting bolt. No, but it will give you the strength to cope much better. Don't mean to get preachy, but that is what helps me.
I am determined to let my brain gain it own equilibrium. WHile it may be intolerable at times as it is for me, letting the brain sort of gain its equilibrium is surely worth giving it a shot. The meds will always be there. They aren't going anywhere and you can go back to them anytime. In the meantime, give it some time, get some exercise and treat your body right with nutrition, and tap into that higher power. Like I said, you can always go back to the meds.
