I certainly seem sensitive to serotonergic meds after abruptly quitting Cipralex (Lexapro) last year.
Sertraline (generic Paxil) gave me akathisia at only 100mg, and I'm barely tolerating 10mg of fluoxetine (generic prozac) even though I used to take 20mg with no side effects.
It's really annoying as I used to do really well on SSRI's.
I'd say err on the side of caution and withdraw slowly to avoid any future problems.
