What are the side effects of stopping taking antidepressants?
You should always talk to your doctor before stopping an antidepressant. It can cause what you are describing, or more serious things like seizures and even death. Your doctor can wean you off it, so that you do not suffer these side effects. Even if your doctor thinks you need it, you can still tell him you no longer wish to take it, and he will help you out. Once the drug is out of your system, the side effects of withdrawal will vanish. However, this could take some time, so really talk with your doctor about what you can expect.
palpitations and dizzy spells as well as sickness,stomache cramps,and shaking hands are all signs of withdrawl from antideppresants,really you shouldnt stop taking your medication without consulting your g.p,but the symptoms you have are commn with coming off antidepresants.howeve when they are completly out of your system yo must b carefull that your orriginal condition dosent come back.
