First off, I'm assuming you were on a higher dose and just quit cold turkey.

You can't just quit Cold Turkey without side effects. Just look at this site and you will see everyone who has done that can barely take it. From what I know, you shouldn't drop more than 37.5/mg every week, and still you get pretty heavey side effects.

I would suggest getting back on at 37.5 mg below your last dose and gradually going down.

here is a great website, previously posted by another person:

> After quiting for about 5 days cold turkey, lastnight I was the happiest camper, but I couldn't sleep, and this morning I was extremely screwed up, anxiety and fear like nothing before, and lack of sleep, my eye balls were CRACKED red from all the stressing and nervousness and tension!!!!!
> but I got some fluoxetine to try from what I read up on your peoples other treaments, also he gave me some ativan for the current state I was in...
